THIS is another striking example of Sir Robert Ball's skill in popularizing the most fascinating of the sciences. Though the same story has been to a large extent told by him before, there are several new features which prevent the least suspicion of staleness. The author is perhaps most interesting in his homely illustrations of astronomical dimensions. Among these are the disc of the moon projected on the map of Europe, and three lunar craters similarly compared with the map of England. The history of a falling star, as told by a particularly intelligent meteorite, is also worth special notice. |
