WONDERS OF ASTRONOMY Somo Facts About the Mighty TJnivorso Around Us. The Fearful Speed with Which We Are Hushing Through Hpaco The Heav ens Constantly Changing; A Stellar ltacchorse. To ordinary vision all the stars ap pear to be at res t in the heavens; nor can the astronomer himself rccojnizo any signs of motion except Vy patient and loiiff-continiied observation, ex tending, in some instances, over a pe riod of many years, and even centuries, when succeeding astronomers completo the work which their predecessors hod bcfrvm. liut every star in the firma ment is on its journey mid moving through space with wonderful velocity. Absolut;! rest is unknown throughout the material universe. If we look up to the sky on p calm, bright night, when the t 'ars shine in nil their glory, we nre usi...ily impressed witli tho feel ing that a solemn stillness reigns throughout those infinite regions of space. In reality, those nma.ing star depths nbovc us, which appear so steadfast nml unchangeable Irom year to year, are astir with life, energy and activity, and there is a remarkable process of change taking placo all around us. Our earth is moving rapidly in its orbit, at the rate of eighteen miles per second. This is known to be our ve locity around the sun, and while we sleep seven hours the world on which we dwell carries us 470,000 miles through space. Some stars nre known to be ap proaching and others receding, from the earth. Among those found to be approaching us is Arctnrus mentioned in tho Uilile, and the brightest star north of the equator which 13 moving with a velocity of fifty-five miles every second. Sirius, the famous "dog star," so glorious on winter evenings, and the brightest star in the heavens, is reced ing from us at the rate of twenty-six miles per second; ami yet, cyn with these enormous velocities, the passago of a thousand years will make no per ceptible difference in the appearance of theso two stars, so immense ere tho distances which separate them from our earth. The greatest velocity that has been recognized among the stars, until quite recently, is found in the motion of a small star near the north polo known as the "runaway star," as it is some times called, which is b.-lieved to b?. rushing through space nt the rate of miles per second. Tim star appears to be moving iu a perfectly straight path through the sky, and it may be visiting our stellar system for the first time; but whence it came, or whither it is goin; no one can tell. Its wonuerini velocity cannot be ex plained, as it is greater than could be produced by tho influence of all the known bodic3 in tho universe; and on the other hand, the combined attrac tion of all the stars cannot stop this wanderer in its solitary flight through space, unui 11 nas rusueu on to tno cx' trcmc limits beyond which the great, est telescopes have never penetrated. It has been mathematically demon strated that a body approaching tho center of ot-.r system, fi r nu infinite distance, cannot move with greater ve locity than twenty-live miles u second, if influenced by the attraction of tho masses in our universe alone; but her vrc have b.-cr. considering a htar mov ing with eight times that velocity, and still, notwithstanding tlio fact that it has the greatest motion known i.nong the stars it would require ls.",UM years for this rcmarlcable star to com-' plete an entire circuit around the heavens! Until recently it was sup posed that thii star had the greatest velocity of any iu the heavens, but it is now known that Mu in Cassiopeia has a velocity of BU5 miles a second, while, if the observations of Dr. Elkin nre to be accepted, A returns is traveling nt a speed of 1575 miles a second. These motions observed among the stars are owing to tho attractive inllu enco which they exert upon each other. But tho whole of their "proper mo tion," as it is called, is not real, a part of it being apparent only, and duo to the real or proper motion of the rim;, together with the entire planetary sys tem. Our great uni verve of stars is constantly undergoing vast changes which will be perceptible to those wu- Inhabit the earth In future centuries; The configuration of our starry hear- THE RIGHT TO ns will eventually b; greatly chanyed fiom their present appearance. Orion, now so beautiful and attractive during tho winter season, will then no longer hold supremacy over the constellations. The well-known "llig Dipper" will sometime in the distant future assume a very different appearance from that now presented to our view, and must finally cease to attract the attention 01 the amateur "star-gazers," as it does at present, by the beauty of Its familiar figure in our northern sky. One of the most notable examples of the constant and yet almost impercep tible changes taking place in our firma ment is to be found in the motions of the seven bright stars forming the "llig Dipper" above mentioned, in tho circum-polnr constellation known us Ursa Major. Dr. lluggins, tho emi nent Euglish astronomer, has found, by means of the spectroscope, that five of these stars are moving In tho same direction, with nearly the same velocity, and receding from tho earth at the rate of about twenty miles per second, which seems to indicate that they arc traveling together, forming an independent (."roup, and are asso ciated with each other in some myste rious way nt present unknown to the astronomers. The late Prof. Proctor referred to them as the "drifting stars," and this community of motion, where groups o( stars appear to be traveling as systems, he termed "star drift," of which there arc many inter esting examples to be found in the va rious parts of the heavens. The stars in the neighborhood of the constellation Hercules appear to be ap proaching us and those in the opposite part of the heavens appear to be reced ing from us. This apparent motion common to all the stars is believed to be duo to the real motion of the sun through space; and as the sun move ha of course carries the earth and all the planets along with him. I!ut whether the sun is actually moving in a straight lin j or around some distant center it ii i;:i; siblc to de termine at the present time. It is cstimatc.l, however, that the sun is moving along his path at the rate of about 15),OJU,0JO miles a year, which corresponds to about live-sixths of the diameter of the earth's orbit. Motion along the line of sight has been de tected by the use of the new and marvelous instrument known as the "teb spectroscope." owing to the fact that it can scj a displacement of tuc tpcctral lines. It has been found that a displacement of n spectral line toward the red en 1 of the spect.'um iudicates a motion away from us, and a displace ment toward the violet end a motion toward us. Although all the stars iu the firma ment which are sun.i like our own arc probably in motion, yet so far away are they that their movements arc scarcely pcrreptiblc; nor can we detect more than Vhe rlightest change iu position, i:i tiie case o' some of them, in a whole lifetime, owing to the immense distances which separate tkem from our earth. A recent writer, referring to the mo tions of the sf.;:iM, tmlv remarked: As ! to the bailees in these groups, we j shall never bo able to notice tlicm in our brief lifetime, but the stars are all I in swiltst motion, flying through ! space, and though their distance is so j great that from century to century the ; changes caused by their movements nre I scarcely to be noticed, yet the time ' will come when these slowly growing : changes will have entirely altered the j nppearance of the starry heavens." I "The two "pointers" in the "P.ig Dipper " now to convenient to casual observers of the heavens, will some time j in the distant future cease to indicate 1 the position of tho "Pole star," as they I do at present, for then.' are no "fixed j stars," and each one of those far-oiT j suns, flaming in the immensity of , space, is swept along in a movement so ' rapid that the human mind can hardly j conceive it and almost grows weary I even in its contemplation; and the j writer ventures to predict that before I many years have elapse ! there will be recognir.'Ml nr.iong th-. stars a variety of constitution and complexity of arrange ments, strikingly contra ,!.'d with Ilia general uniformity of structure nt ; present taught in most of our text , books on astronomy.
