The high priest* of Babylonia
Egypt, 30O0 years and u orp ag>\ bad
a eonsidernblo knowledge ot
omy j bat, leaving out ol
few tlupi learned In, Kcleuco,
to the ancients was • three-st
fair, or rather two stories and a <
•«r, the hitter being the abode of 1
dead, while ou tho «econd floor, orna-
mentally bespangled with $tarp, dwclt
tbj gods.
Earth, of eoUrse. was flat, The sun
pffssetl across the henvebs one* In ev-
ery 24 hours, and, going under, ap-
peared again In the oast next morn-
ing, There was rilfto the tnuon, which
had a. «l«(M^itnbtt; nnd that was
about all tliero wfts of tt « cosmoa.'
Since then oltr Ideas ou the subject
have vastly expanded, and now, In
view of recent discoveries, they seem
destined to espand enormously beyond
Anything hitherto Imagined. We are
beginning to grasp the notion, Of oth-
er universes ,0Hta*de Of o«r owiv-*at
distances from our owu universe well-
ulgh lncobeelvable. ■ •'
Rev. Jasper declared tha Mthe sun
do move." He was right Not only
does It revolve on Ita own axis (as
may be plainly seen by the "spots"
- which travel across Its disc), but it Is
moving In a straight line through
space, Ilk© a gigantic projectile, at a
speed of, at least ten tulles a Second.
As R thus moves, the earth and Its
sister plonetOr of course, gn> with It.
Astronoibora, In the cour# of cen-
turies, have actually been able to ol>-
sen*e this movement, by the closer
gathering of starn In the sun's wake
and the widening out of. constellations
ahead of us—Just a* might be noticed
of trees and houses passed or ap-
proached In a railroad train.

AH the star* are suns, most of them
much blRger Hum our own solar lumi-
nary, and every one of them Is trav-
eling at a terrlllc speed. Ths so-called
Runaway Star (known to ustronotners
as 1830 Oroombridge) Is going at a
rate of 200 miles n second, Wbat
Imaginable power could have set all
these suns In motion? Ami why are
they all traveling In different direc-
tions, apparently? Our own seeming
destination Is the constellation Lyra.
It Is now thought probable that our
universe, which we call the Milky
Way (we seem to be not fgr from the
center of It) Is In reality n vast spiral

11 nu, In which our fun uppenrs
el Is actually a curve.
What has led to this belief Is ob-
servation of other Spirals which are
now thought to be distant universes,
many of them so far away that light
from them, traveling 180,000 miles a
second, toktfi something llko, luonu.
000 years to reuch us. Their torin
plainly shows that they are revolving.
Everything In the cosmos seems to
go round and round. The moon trav-
els around the earth, the earth around
the sun; nnd presumably the sun Is
following nn orbit about sotuo center,
whether a giant sun or merely a point
In spnee. Our universe (If the theory
above outlined be accepted) Is whirl-
ing. Probably, as It whlrla, It la mak-
ing a Journey of Its own about some
center, perhaps In concert with other
universes. ,
Space being Infinite In extent. It Is,
when one comes to think of It, absurd
for 11s to Imagine that ours Is the only
universe.
We shall never know. But nt least
we may claim that our Ideas on the
subject of creation are expanding.—
