I attempted, In my previous lecture, to
lay before the audience thoto great lights
which we have obtained with regard to
the construction of our Stellar Heavens
to ahow that Instead of the atari being dis
tributed throughout all spice, our heavens
are but a alrnple cluster, a group a lliii.
lied, definite, and peculiarly shaped group.
The nearest approach to the thapo of this
I! roup may be found in the diagram be
fore you. (Here the lecturer pointed to a
large diagram, representing an immens
spherical cluster of stirs, with Ibe tun in
the ctntre the stars at they recede from
the sun growing morn and more irregular
In thtlr distribution.
In connection with this cluster, the tel
escope, hit thown us a vast variety of
others, whose form are, likewise, to very
ciprloiout and Irregular, that when we
look at them, we feel Ibe conviction that
wo ar looking at something inoojnplele,
unfinished tint these nebula are In a
s'tsTe of prosresa. and that they are not
tnilraliU as thn finished nroduct of anv
known law. If my Idea la correct anl,

lly we shall find, by ani-iaminatfon of
our own ateiiar licavrin, pruoi on every
aide aud in every appreciable form, thai
their characteristic Is action and not re.
e, That portion of the subject which
ivtndiii'ted to the most satisfactory results,
wni trail in by an Ingenious Kngliahman
riatm-il Mitchell, during the let century,
'while maklna observations on the Broil o
of tha Pleiades. On taking a aurvey of
the heavens, his attention waa much at
tracted by (tilt peculiar cluster, and after
bestowing upon It a most searching exam
ination, he aald, " It Is impossible that this
group of to many stars, occupy ing so mtull
a iwce, can be accidental. It must indi
catt system." Ho e'ii went to far at to
throw out whit, at that time, was a moat
hold conjecturt, vlx: .that these orbs
would manifest their connection In a sya.
ttmatlo manner, by developing internal
motion. Unfortunately, however, in hit
time astronomical Instruments had not
beon brought to tuch a ttate of perfection
i would enable this conjecture lo be ver
ified. I lit Idols did not lead to any defi
nite rosult, nor could they, aa science then
existed. Hut they were subsequently re.
vhrd with great energy by Herschel, un
tier autplcet much more favorable. Hon
chel, however, did not know that Mitchell
hid preceded him in thla department. Hit
attention wat directed to certain peculiar
bodies round In tha heavens, which we
now call double ttan, and which, to the
naked eye appear just like tingle tiara.
Out when the teletcoplo power It applied
to them, they are found to be two ttan
placed to near togethor that the naked eye
cannot appreciate tho interval between
them. Provlout to Iiertchel'a lima it wat
known thai theae atara existed In Ihe hea
vens, but they had never been tubjecled
to an examination tuffiolcntly aocurate to
enable astmnomera lo determine their
constitution and the lawa whioh guide
their inotiontj It wat not auppoted that
they were to near each other aa they have
alnoo been atoertalned lo be. 1 will illus

Suppose I look at theae two- lighu from
auch a dlreotloo that they thall nearly bo
in the time line of vlalon. If I did not
know thit this large tpaoe existed between
them, I would auppoae, from their appear
ance, that they lay in the time immediate
neighborhood. Here you will obaerve waa
Ihe difBoully attending the tolutlon pre
vlout to Hertohel'a lime, of Ihe problem
of tha double atara. But ha discovered
that they wero In immediate proximity,
and not apparent merely, aa bad formerly

Mimi thmg of a confirmation may yel bo
obiami-d from what It elscwhtre going on
around us. If the law of the minor groupt
can be extended lo those mightier collo
cations we ought evidently to lind activity
prevailing also among the tingle tuna,
and as of those our owit orbit what we
know best, thit will probably be easiest
established by observing whether our tun
It fixtd in ono portion of space or it patt

oe e inn m is cur sun passing nith his
bob .itti ndiinie of planet-, through soma
iiiu-lu career in llio heavens f This lat
ter i.l. a has long ken entertained. It
n however to the illustrious llerschcl
l h bom I Imvr had occasion to often lo
refer that ho owe llio confirmation of
this great truth. His idea waa this, and
vo'i mil sec at once that his inodo of light
ing upon tho great fact wat remarkably
simple : He said, " If our sun it In motion,
how shsll we ascertain the fact ? We can
not ascertain it by the motion of Ihe tun
himself, because we, partaking of hit mo
lion, would not have it in our power lo
ascertain the motion inasmuch at we are
going on in the stnio path. The only
mod" h vt Inch it could he deduced waa
this- If tho aun Hero moving through
the heaven., tho atara around him would
seem lo Ihi altering their position." Sup.
Ke, fir instance, to illustrate Herachel a
idea, that there it a cluster of trees before
me and another behind nit. Now If I
were to move from ono toward tho other,
the cluster which 1 approach would teem
to bo opening up, whilo tho cluster from
hlch 1 was departing would teem to bo
iiii'lflrgoing the opposite change closing
in. Now, llortchel upon comparing the
Kisitioua of the start with their position!
asliidiloHii in the old catalogues, disco.
v ervd (hat just exactly audi changee wero
going on among them. In the direction
of i he constellation Hercules the stanap
tieareil to bo opening out, while Iho atari
in the opposite part of the heaveni teemed
to ho getting, closer to each other. Now,
aald he, " is not thla all f could expect lo
sen if llio aun wit actually moving through
llio hcivciuf Accordingly he wat da
ring enough to infer that this was tho cite
and ho talil our great tun It moving on
will) nil hit ilitollitei toward the constel
lation Hercules. Again he said, " If It be
true that tho aun it tweeplng through
space, llicu ll hiii ue lound tint the atara
in nil parts 01 tne Heavens are changing ;
not merely those In the region towards
which Iho suu It moving and from whloh
.be is departing, but sldowaya over all the
heavens will distinct chances amontr the
Mars be apparent." To illustrate again.
