Prof. G. D. Swezey Lectures To First
Year Class At Temple
Monday.
ILLUSTRATED TALK GIVEN
Explain Common Mistakes
About The Stars And
' Planets.
Slides
The Held of as: ronoiny was present
ed to the freshmen class in regular
freshmen lee! mo Monday afternoon
and Tuesday morning, by Trof. C. D.
Swezey in the first of two talks ne
is giving to the freshmen on astron
omical subjects. Astronemy, Prof.
Swezey said in opening, is the oldest
science, but the science which th
average person knows least about.
The mistake is often made by peo-
ide unaceuaiiited with astronomy, of
,.,v.,r,, ,,!:i,iet with stars. Stars
gie their own light and ate for the
. minii further away lrom
the earth than the plane's. Many
n, ct it-! .-no oven b:gaer than our
sun and it is only because of their
great distance that they appear small.
Contrary to popular belief, stars are
not stationary 'but move often at a
rate of thirty-five miles per second.
Prof. Swezey showed a slide of the
constellation Cassiopia as it was
two thousand years ago and as it is
today. One star had moved slightly
out of lino to the appearanc of the
eye. In reality, however, it is niovi:::;
constantly at a speed much greater
than a r-uUet. It. is only because of
their great distance that stars appear
to be stationary. The milky way is
composed of an infinitesimal number
of stars.
The planets in the order of their
sizes are: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune.
Uranus, Venus, Earth. Mars, and Mer
cury. These p'anets are all in the
same class, that is they revolve about
the same sun. There is also a series
of smaller planets, many of them as
small as ten miles in diameter known
as the asteroids.
The sun is many million times big
ger than the earth in volume. Its
temperature is twelve 'thousand de
grees fahrenheit, which is much high
er than any scientists have been able
to reach. The sun is a gaseous mass
not even having reached the molten
stage.
Other heavenly bodies with which
mozi people are unfamiliar, are the
nebulae, comets, and meteors. The
nebulae are gaseous bodies of diffuse
shape. They are not definitely formed
or com pact in any shape. Comets con
sist of a head formed of a series of
stars, and a ta.il composed of a mul
titude of minute stars, most of them
no larger than a gram of sand. There
are always small stars being thrown
off by a comet, so that certain por
tions cf the atmosphere are constant
ly filled with these floating bodies
known as meteors. It is when these
bodies come within the earths atmos
phere that we have such displays of
meteors or shooting stars as are oft
en seen in late summer and early
autum n.

Unquestionably, the past and prospective, growth in population of the
several countries is an Important factor In the situation, he United States
has now a population of ubout 110,000,000, and is likoly to double In num
bers at least twice In the next century, in which case It will have a pop
ulation of nearly 500,000,000 by the year 2021. Japan, on the other hand,
because of her lack of coal and Iron, has no such prospects, unless she
can establish her power on the Asiatic continent or elsewhere, or can ob
tain such expansion of foreign commerce as will provide her people with
an increase In supply of food. t i i
llut the other countries of tho Pacific do not welcome Japanese im
migrants. In China, even, they are none too popular, and colonization or
territorial aggression in Siberia Is likely to be opposed, sooner of later, by
a rehabilitated Russia. Anyway, the climate of Siberia is not exactly suited
to the Japanese. Also, the policy of the "open door" stands In the way of
a Japanese monopoly in China. For these and other reasons Japan, like
Germany before the war, finds herself ringed about by opponents, largely
because of her own Internal and outward pressure of population.
Therefore, as many publicists
whom her less nonnJous neighbors
Certainly, Australia and Xew Zealand are very conscious of their precari
ous position, as thinly settled outposts of the nritish empire, and would
took to the United States for protection in case of trouble. It is not Im
possible that the coming conference, if it does not bring about some limi
tation vt armament, will result in a closer rapprochement of all the Fng-lish-speaking
countries of the Pacific.
