Iron, «odium, magnesium and other well- known elements exist in the atmosphere ol these stars, and their massive globes, raging with fiery heat, rush through the depths of space with inconceivable speed. Five ol the stars are receding from us at | the rate of seventeen miles per second and the other two are traveling in an opposite direction. It is certain that these two do not tielong to the same sys tem .i- the "th,-i tivITnrtvseven thou sand years hence the seven stars of the Great Dipaer will have dissolved partner ship, and its api<earance will have changed. The handle of the dint er will tie bent out of place, for the rea son that five stars will have diitted in one direttion and two in another. During countless ages the stars which seeui so steadfast have been rushing on a aril through space. There are stars travel ing tn'family parties,' as Miss Clerk* quaintly expresses it, colonies of stars of a friendly tendency drifting together, others lest friendly drifting apart.
