write down in the form Of an essay series of

once did his agitation rsturn-on the occasion,
namely, of the political movements in his

orreries or plunispheres, is presented by an
} astronomical writer, in somewhat like the fol-
lowing manner : In the center of a large level
plain three miles in diameter, place globe two
feet in diameter, to represent the sun. at the
distance of eighty-two feet from the globe put q
grain of mustard seed, to represent Mercury,
the planet nearest the Sun, which gives it an
orbit four hundred and ninety-twe feet in Cir
!. eumference. For Venus. take pea, and place
it one hundred and forty two feet distant from
, the globa which will give her orbit eight hum
J dred and forty two feet. For the Earth, take
) also a pea, and place it two hundred and fifteen
feet distant, which will make her orbit one thou
u sand two hundred and ninety feet For Mars,
Il take grain of pearl barley, place it three hun
dred and twenty feet distant, and its orbit
will be one thousand nine hundred and sixty
twofset. For the inferior planets. june, Ceres,
Vesta and Pallas, take grains of sand, and allow
vi them orbits varying from one thousand to one
81 thousand and two hundred feet. For Jupiter
n take middle sized orange and place it about q
s quarter of q mile distant, @hich will make its
o orbit mile and half For Saturn, take a
small orange, place it nearly half mile dis
tant so thatits orbit may be nearly three miles.
\, Then for the planet Herschell take full sized
\ cherry or boys marble, and carry it nearly o
mile distant, SO that its orEil may be nearly six

: and distances and pretty well fixed in the mind
