FMMENSITY OF THE UNIVERSE
IS THE TOPIC OF LECTURE
(Continued from puge 1)
picttires of the siuiil's teeth and fly’s foot, to
the infinite paius taken by nature in. the con-
sti'uctioii of the tiniest creatures. The fact
that these tiny ereatnres arc sometimes the
cause of great results was aptly illustrated
by pictures of the dyaton—an animal hardly
one-fiftieth of an inch in diameter but whose
shells during agt's ])ast have formed such
shoals as that on which the city of Richmond
is bnilt.
From this si)here the audience was con
ducted to the last and nppeniiost sphere—the
atmosphere. “liere,” said the lecturer, “we
find the solar system composed of the sun
and her eight daughters, who really mind
their mother; but—this is not strange iu view
of the fact that she is seven hundred and
forty-one times as large as anyone of them.”
l‘!xplanation and ))ictnres of the way in
which stars are born, grow old and die and
the determination of the age of a star by its
cohif—the story of the moon—tiu' kiss in the
miu.n (visible fourteen days after the now
moon makes its a]>]iearance') the theory as to
the canal system of .\lar.s—the rings of Sat
urn—tli- lovely sunrise over tin* mountains—
all these made the atmosjibere seem the most
interesting and wonderi’ul r.f all the sjilieres.
I'ecital of llu‘ figures which comprise
ilistances in the heavens coupled with a sum
mary of such dynamic force as that which
twice every 1wenty-four hours moves all the
water ai ibe earlli gave everyone ])res('nt a
stronger reiili/.atioii of. if iu>t an eager desire
