Then we see that the sun, the moon, the earth, planets and a myriad of stars looks like a vast Colony or swarm of bright orbs, like the lights of some immense city and that we are now flying across & great empty void. Soon we come to another immense group of lights, another Colony of stars like the one we live in and have left. We don't wish to pause but onwards we go apuring the fabulous dis- tances passing starry groups that look like the city lights on the dark
earths surface, and then, on into empty vioids where there are no lights. How small those star groups look compared with the spaces between. yet one of those started from groups the one we
