The principles of light and color: including among other things the harmonic laws of the universe, the etherio-atomic philosophy of force, chromo chemistry, chromo therapeutics, and the general philosophy of the fine forces, together with numerous discoveries and practical applications .. . rter moon, at I a halfmoon and say it has reachedits first quarter, at 8, itshows about three fourthsof its size, at 9 it becomesa full moon, at 10 a three-quarter moon, at 2 a half-moon and has reached itslast quarter, at 5, a quartermoon, at 6 it begins to fadeout. The moon is some-times said to be a crescentat 7 and 5, and is calledgibbous at 8 and 10. 7. The Asteroids whichare generally consideredby astronomers to be frag-ments of worlds, are doubt-less portions of small planetswhich have cooled off andexploded in the same way as our Fig. t6o. Eclipses and Phases of the Moon. XX. The Planets and Fixed Stars, 1. Though adding greatly to the cheerfulness of our nights,still all combined give but a feeble light as compared with thatof our sun. The fixed stars are self-luminous and shine witha twinkling light. The planets shine with a steady and reflectedlight. Venus, sometimes the morning and sometimes the eve-ning star, is the brightest of the planets to us, and Jupiter COMBUSTION. 20- Sirius, the brightest of the fixed stars, gives us, as signifiedby the photometer, 20,000,000,000 times less light than the sun. 2. The Milky Way under the revelations of the telescope, ispresumed to consist of several millions of fixed stars, each ofwhich is a vast solar system and one of which is our own solarsystem. But telescopes of great power reveal thousands of suchclusters of stars, each of which is a Milky Way. Verily themightiest imagination of man, can reach but a fingers length intothe infinities of this universe ! Looking at such a fact with a viewof our present littleness, it is due cause for humility on our the other hand, we may be exultant, for our souls kin
