WONDERS OF UNIVERSE
In his latest book, "Worlds Without End," the Astronomer Royal, Dr. H. Spencer Jones, treats of the present position of astronomical knowledge in. a manner suitable for general reading. In successive chapters he gives a picture of the universo and tho place the earth occupies in it. After describing the earth and its satellite, the moon, together with tho other members of the solar system, t]ie sun and the stars are dealt with in their differences and similarities. A review of our own galactic system and the island universes which surround our own in space completes the portion of the book which deals with reasonably well established astronomical beliefs. In the final two chapters more speculative views are expressed as to tho evolution of stars and universes. Clearly in a, style which avoids technicalities, presenting only the conclusions reached and not the methods by which they were attained, the book is illustrated with 32 plates, the product of modern astronomical photographic research, and should provide a reliable and authoritative guide to modern astronomical knowledge. " Worlds Without End," by Dr. H. Spencer Jones. (English Universities Press.)
