There are a num ber wbo are noted for their skill In what th Alpinist calls "suow and lee work" That means going up a peak which has so many snow fields and glaciers that Ita aides and summits may be nearly ' covered with them. The glacier guide can teir you all about "corulces"-now masses whk-b project from, the edge of precipices and overhang tha valley beneath like the roof of a house. Experience has told him whether a? cornice can be crossed j aafely ) or whether It may break .off If one ventures upon It lie Is also an expert with tho Ice ax car ried In his belt, cutting footholds In tho gUtterinR walls that may risa fif ty or a hundred feet above your head. These , Ice precipices are frequently found at the bends of. glaciers,. which, as the schoolboy knows, are merely rivers of fror.cn water slowly movluj down the, face of a mountain on ac count of the force of gravity and .the great pressure of the Ice mnssei which form their sourco ou the tipper part of tho slope.

Astronomy does not always consist of night studios. There are some things to be seen after darkness is goue, both with glass and unassisted eye. The dear old moon often gives us a good daylight view of herself, looking as if haggard, sleepy anil dlsgnMcd after be Ing out overnight. The star Venus has often been seen In tbe afternoon. Borne comets are on record as having ap proaehed so near the earth that the same could be said of them for weeks at a time. ' But of course the great day attrac tloa la tho rvler.of our own family of brother and sister planets, the sun. Although "medium sized" as com pared to many ofjbe fixed stars, our sun Is no lightweight, being about 1,300,000 times aa large aa tbe earth. If some great force could put us In tbe center of that ultra mammoth glole, and the moon also (keeping her at the. same, distance from tis as she now pi), and there was another moon nearly as far away frota her, the earth, and the two moons and all the space between thera could atlll lie contained In ; the great, sparkling sun. (Its .distance , from , Is 02,807,000 miles,; a very tedious little journey If we'could" moke It by'cnstomary meth ods. You can find, plenty of accounts to books of how long It wotild take ft railroad train to get to It, and you can ascertain It yourself by a little figuring. Tou will leurn, for Instance, that a lim ited express traveling 1,000 miles per day would arrive at Sun station In atwut 254 years, during which time there would probably be a few deaths oa the trutn. If when the engine ar rived it could give a blast of tbe whis tle loud enough to be heard here, tbe people at this end of the line would have to wait fourteen years before the signal arrived If It proceeded at tbe UKtiul velocity of Bound. .
