is a short sentence that nearly
every schoolboy in The land has
inemorized, and yet how few real
ize he grand results of that in.
vention and how much science is
indebted to the "Old Flurrntine
Philosopher for the advance
ment it has made since that dis
corery. Calico discovered the
laws Of falling bodies and of the
pendulum, two very important
discoveries in Natural Philosophy:
Yet, had he not given to the
world the telescope, few except
men of science would know, at
this day. who Calico was.
Ptolemy, Grecian Astrono
mer, taught that the earth stood
still and the sun and all the heav-
emily bodies revolved around it,
Calico believed this theory, be
canse he had never heard of any
other. He was teaching in the
University ut Pisa, when he first
heard the .Copernician" theory is
the one that every school girl
knows now, TO be true, VIZ: That
the sun is the center, around
which the earth and other planets
revolve. Soon after Calico had
embraced the Copernician theory,
lie heard that a watcllmaker, by
The name of Junsen, had invented
an instrument which would make
distant objects appear close by.
He Immediately went to work to
construct a telescope, with a piece
of lead pipe and two glasses. He
soon had an instrument which
would magnify so times. What his
emotions were wher he turned his
glass to the moon and beheld its
mountains and valleys, can we
scarcely imagine. On the Sth OF
January, 1910, he discovered the
moons of Jupiter. As soon as he
was sure of their motion around
that body, he announced his dis
corery. The cry of ''beresyn was
raised. The Church of Rome de-
clared it to be contrary to the
teachings of Holy Writ. Calico
was charged with dealing with
the devil, and he could ret but
few to look through his telescope
and those who did leok, declared
1t the work of magic. Finally the
opposition bacame so strong he
was ordered TO Rome, to appear
before the inquisition aud allure
his dangerous and heretical doe
trine.7 He was now seventy |
years old, but he was corapelled /
to endure the journey to Rome,
and In 1858 he knelt before the
Cardinals, and with his hand ON
the Bible abiured the doctrine
that the earth moved. But as he
passed from the presence of these
Cardinals he was heard 10 say.
Yet it movesr But he was com
PEELED TO des;st from his teaching
he theories, or even proclaiming
MS discoveries. But the die was
asst. The grand truth had been
announced, aud science can take
10 backward steps. An tie Car
finals anil Popes of the world
'ould not destroy the effects of
hat discovery. And with that
ude. imperfect Instrument, and
n spite of all opposition, Calico
evolutionized the whole acience
1 astronomy, and placed it on the
old foundation of truth which it
low occupies.
