Astronomy and the Bible; or, God's two great books, nature and revelation . nfusion; but lie finished Ms workand pronounced it very good. Gen. 1:31;2:1. Since then, it seems that changes havebeen constantly going on in the heavens.Some stars are known to be changing inbrightness. Take Castor and Pollux inGemini as examples. Three hundred yearsago, Castor was the brighter of the two, butnow, it is inferior to Pollux in luminosity.The same is true of the star Beta in Libra, as compared with Antares which is not fardistant.

They may have origin-ated from nebulous matter. The heavens A STAR CLUSTER.. TER is found ? .i-ioa, . IS icji::£, 10 minutes, aor»ice 87X degrees. THE LEONIDS. A METEORIC SHOWER.
