PROCTOR. First Lecture of the Course at Kingsbury Hall, The Story of the Wonders of the Star-Depths, The Distances and Sizes of Some of the Stars, Distribution of Stellar and Nebular Matter in Space. Work of HMerschel, Struve, Proc- tor, and Others. A Brief Statement of What Has Been Done in Chicago. The Needs of Our Observatory. The courso of lecturos L{pon astronomy by Mr. R. A. Proctor, was begun yostorday evening in Kingsbury Muelo Hall. Ono of the largost and ot intelligont sndionces that Ohicago could produco was prosent, and even the butterilios ot fashion wero there in strong force. Some of them eamo beeauso it was Lent aud “ono must go somewhore,” Others thought it was golng to o fashionablo to bo geicntifle and thoy must go with tho fashion. They rominded ono of tho Frouch Indy who being taken to dinner by o distinguished philosophor, said, *Now, my dear frioud, a8 wo musk wait fivo wminutes for the soup, ploaso tell me the history of the world—T am dying to hear it 1 Mr. Proctor was introduced by Mr., J. Y. Scammon, Prosident of tho Chicngo Astrosomi- onl Socloty, and ho began speaking cloarly and rapidly, but in & voico which was necessnrily mo- notonous, owing to the offort requirod to fill the Music Hall, the acoustic prop- orties of which, it mny bo romarked, are hordly what they should be, Mr, Proctor is a mudsomo man, apparontly nbout 40 yoars of ago, with a dark English typo of face, large oyes, regular foaturos, and compnot figuro. o woars moustacho and side-whiskers, sad parts his hair in the middlo. ‘Tho only drawbaoks to tho locturo woro tho failure to turn the lights low ouough, somo trifling diflicultios with the stercopticon, aud tho bad taste of eoveral persons who left the hell in the middle of the lecture. Tho following i tho teaturo : THE CALM OF THE STAR DEPTHS, 11 you look at the sky fu & calm, clear uight, such a8 you have in America, *whon all the stara shiuo, and tho immeasurable heavens broak open to their highest,” tho thoughtful mind ia improgsed with the fecling that a solomn enlm roigus in thoso infiuito dopths, This is tho ides suggested to tho poot. Nor doos any other view present itsolf to those who study the first toach- ings of astronomy. Wo know that tho stollar sphere is carrlod from east to west ns thoe sun and moon aro carried, in the period of o singlo day; and we kuow if wo walch tho hoavens night after night, at tho samo hour, thero is o motion from cest to west taking place in the course of a yoar, And thero is yet ouc other mation by which the wholo sphero of the Heavens scem to gyrato abont an axis, the poriod of that gyration boing 46,000 yonrs, ' But wo know quite woll that THESE MOTIONS ARE NOT REAL, that thoy aro produced by our carth’s motion. 1t is tho onrth rotating on bor axis in the course of a duy which causcs the Lenvens to tppear Lo turn oround in that timo. It 18 tho earth travol- ing around in an orbit which causes tho Leavens to have a vearly motion. And it is tho carth, gyratng Nike a gigantio elock, in that period of 26,000 yeurs, that cuuses tho whole sphero of the hoaveous to scom to gyrate in that period. Dut so soon s wo pass from thoso first tench- ings of astronomy, and cousider what has boon tatight us by modorn discovery, wo sco that, whera there soems to bo rest, thoro is an so- tivity compared with which all the forms of lifo on our earth aro insignificant. Evory ono of tha etars that scom so still 15 traveling through space many miles in every second of time, The vory least of thoso orbs—eome star so faint that it i3 only visiblo by momentnry scintiltations—is an orb in every second of whoso osistence thero is moro lifo aud onorgy than is sufliciont for tho wanta of this earth for many huudreds of years; and tho least change of thoso stars, whethor by an inoreaso or a diminution of brightness, cor- rospond to an nccossion or diminution of life and cnergy comparablo to tho supply which tho cnrth receives from our sun during bundreds of yeary. b THE ACTIVITY OF THE SUN, I have spokon of tho activity of thoe sun; that orb is the scenoe of activity, tumult, and euergy, compured to which all the Torns of uproar known 10 us aro ng nothing. Tvery ono of theso stars hans enacted in it a similar scene, ‘Therofora you will soe hiow ulterly difforont is tho yeality fiom thut presonted to tho mind. You look at_ the heavens in this couuntry of clenr skics, where ovorything looks o far off, and tho stard scem o still, and the heavons ap- pesr so tranquil—scoming so suggestive of calm ond peaco, while, in reality, you aro look- ing at tne most stupendous ecerio of netiv And now lot us refloct upon the facts from which we have lenrned that this {a the actual condition of tho stollnr hoavens, In tho first plnee, wo havo to know how lavgo theso stars aro, and, in ordor to know that, wo must havo their distunce, In poiut of fnct, wo only know the distanco of ubout uine or tohstare. Indeed, I may go much further than that, and eay thero is bt one star in the hoavous whoso distance cau bo looked upou ny dotormined. DIBTANCES OF TIIE PIXED STARS, Tho problem which astronomers havo to solve in detormining the diatance of the fixed stars iy one of stupondous difticulty, Wo have not to dotermiue it by two obeorvers pluced at opposito wides of tho oarth’s orbit, but by observations mado from different parts of the oarth's orbit, separated by 180,000,000 miles. All stars, copt nine or ten, remuin unchanged in diroction ; but what must be their distanco whon n clisngo of 180,000,000 miles in tho pluco of obsorvation mukes no percepl.ble chango In their direction! ‘I'hero i n star in the southern bhenvons enlled Al{vlm Contaurd, hat st changes very slightly In its apparont porition na tho envth circles around its orlit, A good way 1o indicate the minutoncss of tho chango is this: F'ako tho minute hand of & watch. If that hand wero moving uniformly, yo't would noé be ablo to seo the chango in n'shigle second at all, - A line to that star changos loss fromits position thian doek the minulo hand, nat Inn socond, Lut in tho two-hundradth part of it That star is 210,000 times further away than our sun iv.

Whe Invgest presonts no uppreciablo divk in tho taloecoyio, © TIE. HIZI OF BTANS, How thon can wo tell the kizo of & atar ? Wo Tiavo no nieans nxwlnl by mensuring its light. ‘Fako tho star Alphin in tho Coutwur, ‘I'hint star Lins beon found to shino with tho 17,000,000, 000th pars of tho sun's brightness, 1t the sun wero removod to tho distanco of that star, it wonld Lo the 40,000,000,000th part of its prosont brightnoss, and would be moro reduced {han thot utar potunlly fs, That star ehinos threo $lnos aa brigltly oa the sun If placed boalde it CHICAGO, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1874, and Ita surfaco In fivo times tho sun's, Al this supposing that the surfaco of tho atar i of tho snmo intrinslo brightucss a8 tho snn—thnt is, that n square mile of Lhe star gives ns muchk light na o square milo of tho sun. CONTITUTION OF THI STATIA, T pnss from that star Lo tho king of stars, tho otar Birlua, It i four timos ns bright ns the star In tho Contnur, and s fivo timos as far nway ; thorofore, boing five timoes s far awny, it should shino with tho 26th part of tho tight of that star in tho Conlaur, Jut, bolng four timos an brl,;m, 1t s really 100 timos' as bright, That star jn tho Contaur is throo times as bright a8 tho sun, and Sirlug is, thoreforo, 500 times ay Dbright as tho sun, Thon its volumoe oxceods the sun 2,000 times, ‘Thoro {8 an orb difforing from our sun even in o greator dogroo than _Lho relation of the sun to Jupiter, Thero is Sirlus giving ont an onor- mous amount of light, but how do wo know it is & sun liko ours—thnt thouo stars are not vapor- ous bodies ? If go, while thoy liave enormous maskoy, thoy may not have the amount of powoer by which they aro ablo to attract, and theroforo rile oystems of bodies cireling around, Unl quito recontly, thora scomed no means of agcer- taining whothor that notlon was truo or not. But by the method of the speotroscapo wo find they aro worlds like ours, You know that we huve lonrned that our sun shines like o burning mngs through ovorlying vapors of known olo- monts, If wo can “show that tho stars glve o rainbow tinted stronk, crossod by dark lines, wo can know that thoy uro suns like onrs. TFathor Beeebi, of Ttaly, who har oxamiuod a gront many, was anticipated by your own countryman, Dr, Lowis RButhorford, of Now York, Ilo observed the spectra of about 000, patt of them of n charactoristic nature, different from_our sun, but all having tho rninbow- linted sirenl. Tho star Hirius gives this chnrnctoristio upcetrnm, showing it to bolong to that lending order, distinguished from our sun in that way, and by n much greater mnlgnll,udo. It shown very strongly the four lines of lydro- gon, Another class of spectra aro those which reaomble our B, n instanco belnyg the bright sinr Capella, Thoso of a third class, whilo thoy revemblo tho procoding, sliow soveral dark bolts, which Fathor Secchi snys resomblo tho spectrum of tho sun's spots, and that tho stars which pru::out thoso bands, nro ronlly covered with spoty. OXY-IYDROGEN ILLUBTRATIONS, Alr. Proctor hore had tho hall darkened, and made uso of tho oxy-hydrogon light to throw upon tho scrocn tho various pictures represont- ing difforent portious of tho heavens, tho forms and constitution of many star-clouds, etc. "o followlng portion of the teport gives only thoso parts of tho lectwra which™ did not rofer direetly to th fllustrations : It is o noteworthy fact that among the stars glving that speetrum thoro are somo of tho most romarkablo variablo stara in the honvene, as tho star Mira (Cotl), which sometimes shincs a8 a second magnitudo star, then sinks down until altogethor invisible, Othor stara aro noted for their rnddy color, and altogothor the idea sug- gosted is that Sccchi is right, and wo have to doul with stars which, for somo rouson or oiher, aro covered with a great number of spots. Dr. Lluggins and Dr. Millor carried on o kind of work much moro exac: than Secehi’s, und, not content- ed with his trentment of tho lincs, dmy compnred the ditferont linos with thoso holonging to certan Enxticnlnr olomonts,—sodium, magnesium, iron, lomuth, autimony, ole. 1t ié a strango thought thet iron exists in tho ntmosphers of & star millions of milos awny, and that the astroncmor can toll thatns cortainly 18 though ho could buing o portion of tho 1rop into his study, aud examino it at his leisure. Woll, now, you bogin to recognizo tho fact that Secchis nunlysiy in & menud of detormining not morcly that thoro exists certein clements in the star, but that they exist in certain conditions. When wo oxaminoe the spectram of tho star Dotelgeux, wo find that the lines of hydrogen are wanting ; then wo find ot thore aro ouber stars whore tho liucw of hydrogon are bright, showing that the hydrogon cxists in & Homowhat moro hented simto. Thero wn o Atar appenred in 1806—a tolescopio star— which flnshed into view, nnd rose to the second maguitude; and when tant was oxnmiued, during est briliinney, it was found that on tho intod etrenle formiug its spectrum thero wors lines of brightuess, of glowing hydiogon. THE LIGHT OF COLORED BIANS. And now wo will pass to itu applieation to atiother interosting foaturo of etollur astronomy —tlio cake, L meau, of tho colored donblo sturs, Among the stars in the heavoes thera aro somo that whon oxmwined by good teloscopos nro Found to bo double, and show very well-marked colors, some red, somo orauge, and soma blue, und 50 on; and the question suggests itself: Iy that color inherent in the starlight, or pro- duced by the outting off of o _portion of the star's lgut by vapor ? Take the familiar case of light wsed at the theatre. “'here you bave firo liko o particulnr color, an absolutoly inherout color; but then you may also huve o colored light produced in another way. You may have an_ ordinary whito hight, aud pub Dbeforo it n_colored glass. . Thoro are wo ways in which o light muy appoar colorad, and it 14 matter of oxceoding interest to dotermine by what way colored stars havo blielr color given thom. T'ako the spootra of tho componont stars of the splendid doublo star Botn Cygni, It has two compoucnts, ono purple and tho other orange, nud thoso two stars hinyo spootrn corre- sponding to the two shown. Tho purple star bas a spectrum in which there aro a num- ber of bands opposite the orange yollow pacts of tho spoctrum, and theso bands cul of n part of iho orange light. Thoy * lonve & suporabundance of tho violet und purplo portion, aid therefore tho star looks like n biue star. The yellow star shows some strong lines aoross tho bluo: bub thore is n superabundance ol orange and yollow light, 8o that the star shows a8 an orango star, ‘Uhus ‘o loarn that tho col- ora staru—at least in that instance, and prob- bl in othors—owo thoir colors not to tho in- hara nt naturo of their light, but to tho qualitics of tko envolopes that surround thom, und the idea iy suggested that wo have there a process by wht el Clioko stars aro pussing down porbaps to a ccolee stato, 1tis enly the smaller compo- nents of tho double stars that show the blue or purplo color; and I would suggest that prob- ably st somo far distant epoch of our stollar systom’s history, Jupiter or Saturn may Dbavo bo =n visiblo as accomponyiug stars, small compared with our sun, aud ‘that they ut that timo ma y hinvo thown some woll-marked colors by omp arison with Lis.

THE FUNDAMESTAL LAWA OF TILE SOLAR BYSTE. “I'ho groat nstronomor, Kopler, discovored tho threo tundamental lnwsof the molar systom. Novw, ho imagined that the centro of tho univorso was tho solar systom.

It is like n clond, and there is sufiicient to indicuto that tuo Miflky Way consists of clouds of stass, suppoaed to be n multitude of comparatively small sphorical clusters of stars, According to Lambert, theso sphericel clustors form togethor u cloven, flat disk. LAMBERT'S TIEORY OF THE UNIVERSE. Then came tho work of Sir Willinm Horschol, And liero I point out that orror in our books of astronomy, ropoated over aud over ngain, of supposiug’ Horschol's thoory to be that our starry system iy liko a flat disk. It must bo romembared that wo caunot tako tho labors of lierschel, extendiug as thoy do over half a contary, and troat all ns if thoy all wore patt of ono work, Hin casnys in the Philosophical ‘Cran- #nctions cannot bo troated liko o boolk written at onee, und wo must noto now ho tolls us that ho Lumsolf changed his mind. But in tho Miliy Way Lo thought tho stars woro spread uniformly. “Tam convicted,” ho said, “ by prolonged ox- amination, that tho stars in the liliy Way nre difforontly spread from thoso which 1io fmmedi- atoly around.” Io used tho sams tolescope, nud hio counted tho stars in difforony localitics, That was tho first pars of his mothod, In othor sots of obsorvtion sho usod difforont toloncopos ; fivsg o small ouo, nud thon a larger, and thon o stall Inrgor onc, and ho deait with the dillieult purts of tho heavens whore the stars ato clustorad so richly that tho telescopo rofused to snoy: them separately; and then ho used a more peiverful toleecope, aud coneidored that he was )muutmt~ ing fmther and furthor into space. hat was wlicn he was nearly foutscoro years of £go, and there was a possibility that any orror In that method would not be” detecled by him, and ho fuiled to noto that if be woro looking ac a small clunter of stars, and looking at them st with n smull taleseope, and then with & moro powerful, aud still anothor moro powerfnl one, it hio woro really passing further and furthor on, that clus- tor, instead of being a sphorical group, would ho spike-shapod, n projection of stars extending out backward from our earth, which is incon- ceivable, when wo consider tho immeuse number of theu clustors on our Milky Way. TIE 8YSTEM OF MAPFING TUE HEAVENS. What I wish and hopa to do, is to catry on that systom of star-gauging, combined with tho uys- tem of Horschel; to take one telescopo nnd survey tho wholo heavens, counting this number of stara in differcnt gircctions ; not o flold bero and u fiold thero, s Uerkchel did, but {isld aftor lold, Jittlo squaro fiolds, sido by side, in the Tienvens, counting the number aud mapping the results ; and thou seeing whero tho stars shown Dy thot'telorcope ara richly or paorly disirib- uted. Tion ~take o tolescopo of highor, aud aftervard | nnothor of lhigher jower; seoing, after cach sot of obsorvations, whether tho rich regions scen by onv correspond with tho rich rogions econ by anothor toleecopo, nnd mo kuowing something of tho Lenvors, Supposo you wero lovking v tho sky and saw larzo birds spread irru:;ulurl{ ovorit} if you noticed that thero woro small birds aleo sPrcnd over it, that where the largo objects were tho small ones woro also numorous, you would concludo that theso largo and small objects formed u siuglo cloud—were intormixed a8 it wore—aud bo certain that the large and the nmall ones wero ntermixed in tho samo clontls, That conclusion would be important to our star sysiom. I pass to tho results of the investigntions of Btiuvo, of Germany, who numbered iho stars an found that large and small stars are rick in numbers in the Milky Way, and inforred that thero is an iuternixturc of thom, nud iat the stor systom has not the shnpo of o diyl, but that what was supposed u disk Las no limits, Thera is a want of laborers in tho field. Thoro is always o possivnlity that wo may gatlior iu lo- borers lioro and thoro, and thero 1s a possibility that I may gathor assistanco horo in this way, What is ‘wanted is Inborers to gnther in, Auy ono can survey tho lieavons with a talescopn, and it is only becessary to carry out that survey ou & nuiform plan, and then the work dono wiil it in with the worl douo by another obsorvor.
