 1 Text,  1 |         some future age, when it may be taken up with better
 2 Text,  1 |        attention to what science may suggest, admitting in advance
 3 Text,  2 |          of the first magnitude, may be not very far from that
 4 Text,  2 |        see them now. Bodily rest may be obtained at any time
 5 Text,  2 |        labors, and weary systems may find nerve rest at any summer
 6 Text,  3 |         The first question which may suggest itself to the inquiring
 7 Text,  3 |          universe as a whole? We may commence by answering this
 8 Text,  6 |       But, different though they may be, they are alike in their
 9 Text,  7 |       than this. This conclusion may, in the first place, be
10 Text,  7 |          idea of its acreage. We may do this if we know how many
11 Text,  8 |        stars or how thickly they may be scattered. To do this
12 Text,  9 |        one-third of a second. It may be interesting to give an
13 Text,  11|           which gives us 500. We may, therefore, say, as the
14 Text,  14|  measures and of other estimates may be summed up by saying that
15 Text,  15|      telescope, and the question may arise whether our results
16 Text,  16|       approach to uniformity. We may state as a general conclusion,
17 Text,  17|             The inquiring reader may here ask another question.
18 Text,  17|     contained within this limit, may there not be any number
19 Text,  18|                    This question may be answered quite definitely
20 Text,  19|       lost, no matter how far it may travel. But there is another
21 Text,  19|      which exist in space, there may be any number of dark ones,
22 Text,  19|     invisible in our telescopes. May it not be that these bodies
23 Text,  19| conclusion is a negative one. We may say with certainty that
24 Text,  19|          stars of our system, we may feel fairly confident that
25 Text,  20|       limits to its distance, we may yet confidently say that
26 Text,  20|  approximation to a boundary. We may fairly anticipate that each
