"A Unlit Year"
To the Editor: What Is a light
year average?
Of late so many of my friends
have gone astray on the subject.
and sorely bruised their heads
ag.itn.st the profound nnd knotty
problem of the mathematical light
year that I have In the generosity
of my heart decided to come to
their relief, with enlightment to
tholr beclouded minds and comfort
to their troubled souls.
Only a year or two ago one of
the most brilliant and progressive
editors in thifl state gravely Inform
his renders that "a light year la
an Infinitely longer period of time
than an ordinary calendar year."
Such a statement shocks one's
ethical sense. Again, only two
months ago, one of the most Justly
popular of American novelists
stumbled even moro grevlously
when. In a widely circulated maga
zine article, he computed tho age
of very remote stars by multiply'
ing their light years by the num
ber af seconds In a year and that
product by 180,000 which la the
distance In miles that light travels
In one second, this last product
being tho ago In years of those
stars. It Is one of the paradoxes
of science that a phenomenon like
light, that le supposed to Illumine
all other phenomena should be so
profoundly obscure In lt own na
ture.

When they are over and you are back again at work, it
is time to once again start your thrift. See if you can

highest orde. blundered contlnu
ously and egreglously when he
came to deal with the physical as
pect of light. After Dr. Young had
solved the problems of the nature
and laws of light, Goethe another
superman of science came along
and attracted both Newton and
Young In a manner to write him
self down in the history of science
aa a fundamentalist donkey. When
such trunsccndental intellects full
in the tussel with the problems of
light Is it any wonder that humble
folk should blunder in the mat
ter? I once knew a uood indy who
made a vory grieveous blunder
about light. 1 didn't know her per
sonally but my father did. When
ho wns a young man, li. the early
40s of the last century he was on
gaged In propagating the gospel
In the hill sections of the Shenan
doah valley, Va. At regular periods
he was wont to go with a little
band of ministers and retreat into
tho upper regions' of the Blue
mountains the closer to commune
with tho oversoul. On one of these
occasions a fellow brother whose
permanent abode was in those up
per regions invited them all to
dine with him at the evening meal.
They took his good wife complete
ly by surprise and not In the best
of humor. Her husband hasten
ed to assure her that they would
be content with "Just a little light
supper." In just fifteen minutes a
smiling face appeared at the din
ing room door and announced:
"All is now ready."
When the brethren assembled
around the table they looked down
upon a spread of immaculate linen
six plates arranged in perfect or
der, and in the center of each plate
a brightly burning candle. It was
a prospect that would have blanch
ed the cheek of Colonel Sellers, but
not one of the party ever let on.
That was a "light supper," but
what Is a "light year."
Let It be thoroughly understood
onco for all that a light year Is no
more a measure of time than is a
yard stick or a rod pole. A light
year Is simply the distance that
light travels in one year of 305
days, traveling unlformely at the
rate of 180,000 miles per second.
According to this method of meas,
urlng distance when we wish to
say that the sun Is 93,000,000 mite
from the earth we simply say that
the sun Is 8 1-3 light minutes from
tb earth. Astronomers long ago
learned that steller distances are
so great that In locating the heav
enly bodies of the remote regions
of space some very large unit of
measurement muot be employed
foi the sake of brevity. According
ly some Ingenious mathematician
suggested the "light year" as a
munsure of distance and It has
boon in universal vogue ever since.
Sir William Horschel believed that
the most distant stars visible only
to the most powerful telescope
were as much as four million light
years removed from the earth. Re
cent researches In mathematical
astronomy tend to confirm htese
conclusions of the elder Herschel.
