If
Heavens Deceptive-Their Wonders Cannot
Be Measured Because of Remoteness
By GAKKKTT
Last Sunday night, at about 11 o'clock,
1 glanced out of my whitlow ami could
not restrain an exclamation of delight
mingled with wonder,
i Vnst shadowy
buildings rose high
on all sides or the
broad inner court
across which I

that tho view was
like that from a

overhead. In the midst of this square
of sky, glowing and scintillating like a
hundred Kohlnoor diamonds pinned upon
ft screen of black velvet, were the stars
of Orion, the most magnificent of tho con
sultations that make up the universe as
we see It from the earth.
It was veritably a sight to make one
gasp! I think I have nover seen Orion
to brilliant. Those far away suns seemed
to have drawn nearer, as If the constel
lation went actually descending from the
sky. Below, toward the left, blazed the
immense Slrlus, Its rays flickering with
every color of the rainbow.
At this sight the mighty truths ,of as
tronomy burst upon my mind with ,hri
Intensity of meaning which I have sel
dom known equalled.
As I gazed tho eurth dwindled to the
insignificant point that It really is, and
Slrlus grew and crew before me until
it became supernal In its splendor, and
In the sense of boundless power that Its
ceaseless flashings conveyed. Space and
time vanished, for the moment, and I
seemed to be standing In tho Immediate
presence of that mighty Mar. In Its
light falllar facts assumed a now and
grander significance, as It iny human .In
telligence had been lifted to a higher
plane.
Then, In Imagination, I returned and
t-clzed our sun In iny hands to fling It
out Into the depths of space yonder.
When it started It was an all-enveloping
Maze of quenchless fire, which swallowed
the world, and licked up tho planets. like
motes of Inflammable dust. But as It
bpun away, It began to, shrink like the
jecedlng light of n steamer Bpeedlnff out
of a harbor at night, and when It had
arrived at tho distance of Hlrlus It wa
but a twinkling point, forty times e
brilliant than the great star flaming hf
side it. Although it had made day vh
near the earth, now It could not cist V
tiniest shadow with in mtcroscop.

beams! Distance had revealed It In Its
trim dimensions and stripped from It the
false predominance with which It dazzles
our near-by eyea on the earth. It had
become but a tiny star In the sky. a
satellite of the giant Dog Star,
Then I bethought mo that even Slrlus
Imposes upon us with unwarranted pre
tentious. It looks the mightiest sun In
the universe, but it Is not. It, too, de
rives a false advantage from relative
nearness. Its distance Is only about forty
trillions Df miles, but I knew that before
mo there were stars so far that their
remoteness ."cannot be measured with
any means at our command. AVe know
that their distance cannot be less than
a certain unthinkable amount, but how
much greater It may be we can only
guess.
Thereupon, I glanced back at Orion,
and fixing my attention upon the bright
star Rlgol, on the uplifted foot of the
pictured giant, below his sparkling, "belt."
I once more, In fancy, seized the sun
and flung it away Into these profounder
deeps. Smaller and smaller It again be
came, as It swiftly receded, until at last
It was not even a visible star. It faded
away like a spark swallowed up- in the
darkness.
in my Imagined omnipotence I had Im
parted to tho flying sun a speed or a
thousand million miles per second, but I
now saw that I had been too moderate,
because In my night watch I could not
wait for Its arrival In tho presence of
Rlgel; It would require two -whole months,
even at that frightful speed, to reach
the destination that I had Intended! And
when It arrived 1 knew that It would
find Itsolf In the withering presence of a
sun at least ton thousand times more
brilliant than itself.
What goes on In that region where
IUgcl reigns; where even the mighty Dog
Star, that makes our nun seem but a
Jack-o'-lantern, would be as Insignificant
as a tallow dip beside a ship's search
light? In that part of the universe are
all energies grander than here. In pro
portion to tho stupendous magnitude of
tho suns that Illuminate It?
We cannot douht that there are llvipg
creatures, and intelligence there, but
could we comprehend them If we met
them? In their presence might not a

fame time, they stimulate us. There is '

Singer Tells When Supreme Hour of Faminine Lovliuess Comes

When Is 'woman's hour of beauty?
Mme. Charles Cahler Is the latest to
answer this question, which has been put
to so many artists, and tp which no two
have answered alike.
The moat beautiful period of a woman's
life has been placed at anywhere from
13 to 45 years of age. according to the
Ideas of the painter or sculptor, while
women have answered the question ac
cording to their own age and occupation,
the one Insisting that young motherhood
glorified even the plainest face and made
woman supremely beautiful, while the
bunlness woman was quoted as myliur
that success In her particular line of en
deavor brought the modern woman of
affairs her hour of beauty.

would bear off tho palm of beuuty In un

like some "of their beautiful national

It seems that brown hair and curls
