It is customary to look upon the sun as if were the centre of the universe, aa im movable fiery globe around whioh the earth, and other planets revolve while it remains fixed hi one place. Nothing could be further from the truth. The sun is, ia faot, the most wonderful of travelers. He ia fly. bag through space at the rate of not less thazi a hundred and sixty ^millions of mMflfl iu a year, and the earth and her sister planets are his follow voyagers, whioh, obeying his overpowering attraction, circle about him as he advances. In other words, if we could take up a position in open spaos in advance of the sun, we should see him rushing toward us at the rate of some 450,. 000 miles a day, chased by the whole family of shining worlds and the vast swarms of meteoric bodies wbioh obey his attraction. The general direction of this motion of the solar system has been known since the ', tune of Sir William Hersohel. It is toward tha constellation Hercules, wbioh, at this season, may be seen in the northeastern sky at 9 o'clock in the evening. As the Hne of thia motion makes an angle of fifty odd degrees with the plane of the earth's orbit, it follows that the earth is not like a horse at a wind- lass, circling around the sun forever in one beaten path, but like a ship belonging to a fleet whose leader is continually poshing its prow into unexplored waters. The path of the earth through space is Bplral, so that it is all the time advancing into' new regions along with the sun. She is on a boundless voyage of discovery, and her human crew are born and die In widely separated traota of space. Think of the distance over whioh the travels of the sun have borne the earth only since the beginning of human history' Six thousand years ago the earth and stu were about a million millions of mila further from the stars in Heroules than they are to-day. Columbus and his contempor- aries lived when the earth was In a region ortho universe more than sixty thousand lillions of miles from the plaoe where it Is ow, so that since his time the whole human race has been making a voyage through space, in comparison with whioh his longest voyage was as the foot-step of a fly. Thus great events In the history of the world may be said to have occurred in diff« parts of tho universe. An almost inoon- ceivablo distance separates the spot wbioh tho earth oooupied In the time of Alexander from that whioh it oooupied when Cawor Invaded Gaul. The son and the earth halve wandered so far from their birthplace that the .mind staggers In the attempt to guess at the stupendous distance whioh now proba- bly separates them from it. It may«be that the motion of the solar system is orbital,' and that our sun and many of the stars, his fellow suns, are revolving around common oentre, but if so, no means have yet been devised of detecting dimensions of bis orbit. So far aa we can ae the sun Is moving in a straight line. Thosunj too, moves with his northern hemisphere foremost, and it is worthy oi remark that it has been suspected that the northern hemisphere of the sun radiates more heat than the southern. But, whatever effect it may or may not have upon the meteorological condition of Ihe earth, the faot that the solar system Is thus voyaging through apaoe is in itself oeedingly interesting. Not tha ~ traveler's dream presents to tha imaglnatior moh a voyage M this on whioh every In- habitant of the earth is bound. A glanoe at A HAWAIIAN WOMAN'S SMILBu This description of a woman's smite is iken from a Hwaiian romance, but there is certain something about it calculated to >te several doubts in the mind of the reader: \Orouohed at the foot of the old board fence that hid the humble dwelling Eroiri the sharp scrutiny of passing vehicles men. She was fat and Urge of limb, her round brown cheeks glowed with armthof the ohe&tnnt, Her long-lashed relicts drooped over her lustrous eyes and thick tresses of her blue black hah led her napk and bosom. Suddenly e passing object arrested her attention, the dark pupils of her eyes expanded in unused surprise. Her red lips parted, and flashed upon the landscape two rows of beautiful white teeth. Slowly her moutb opened wider andjwider. Deeper grew the dimples on} her bronzed cheeks. Brighter danced the sunbeam's in her eyes until a stray ray darting through the foliage of an verhanging bough illuminated the deep tvern of her mouth, bringing into view the \; of her head. Then seeing the gaze Intently upon her, she shut her jaw, and darkness fell upon the scene.\ a star map shows that tho direction lo< Nbrations of a blow on the outside ' ' ' ~ aln g and the person or peon wbioh we are going to carrying us toward a region of the heaven* exceedingly rich In ltars, many, and perhaps most, of whioh »r* greater suns than ours. There can be tittle doubt that when the aun arrive* in the neighborhood of thoae stars h* will b« sur- rounded by oaUatlal scenery very different from, and muoh more brilliant than, that of th* region of apace in whiob he now is. The inhabitant* of th* glob* at that distant period will certainly behold new and far more glorious haavana, though th* eartb nay be unchanged.—JV. ?. ~ HOW 8OMB WOMEN pr.E8'i.
