Professor . Proctor began by raying
that, as in his lecture oh the immensity

and proceeded step by step to the largest
members of .the solar system.' and thence
to the enormous spaces separating that
system from snrrounding systems, until I

our earth to the -far "longer, duration of
the great planets and sun, then to the
duration of the solar system, and so to
higher orders of time, until we are again

There is, at the outset, a great diffi-
cuity in aeternuniugine auraiiou or ine

gist, however, it appears that the earth
has been exposed to such light and heat
as the sun at present pours upon her for

that the larger the globe the longer it
will be in cooling. The period given as
the age of the earth was probably far
short of the truth.

in its present state all at once was, in
Professor Proctor's view, to form a blas
phemous conception of the Creator, be- 1
cause-it would necessitate tne oeiier that

Proctor prefaced his remarks by stating

Bloomington, Indiana, who might be
called the Kepler of-modern astronomy,
