At different sideral hours the numbers will be more or
less. Imagine as many small objects, then, as one can see of
stars in the sky on the average. Then imagine as many
such collections as one can see of stars in the sky, and the number
of single objects in this second collection will be (500)² = 250 000.
Next imagine as many of these collections as there are of stars in
the sky, and the number of single objects in this third collection
will be (500)³ = 125 million. Continue this proceeding,
and when you reach the fifteenth collection, the number
of units in it will be about one tenth of the number of times that
the radius of an electron will go into the distance of an average twentieth mag-
nitude star. The third collection is about six times as great as
the number of electron-radii in a wave-length of light in the
