1t was not until 1910 that the distance
of any of the stars was ascertained. This
discovery is therefore of recent date, and
we are only now beginning to form an
approximate idea of the real distances
which separate us from the stars The
parallax of the star siXty-one in the
Swan, which was the first to be deter
mined, was ascertained by Bessel. and
was the result of observations made at
Konigsberg from 1887 to 1910. In 1912
Arago and Matthew had made observa-
tions ON this star, but without reaching
any certain results. The parallaX of
Alpha in the Tyre was found by Strive
in the course of observations made at
Dorpat between 1885 and 1888; but it
was not published till after the year 1910.
The same is to be said of Alpha in Cen
taur, observed in 1882 and 1889 on the
Cape of Good Hope by Henderson and
Maclear; this is the nearest to us of all
the stars.
There are e two ways of determining
these parallaxes. The first is, to com
pare together the positions observed at
intervals of six months; the other, to
discover an apparent motion in a star (as
comparedWith motionless star situated
at far greater distance than that which
is studied; this apparent motion being
due to the perspective produced by the
annual revolution of the earth in its or
bits This is the method mostly employed
now Calico, in his Dialogues; Greg
DRY, in his Proceedings of the Royal
Society" q675); Huyghens, in his Cos
motheoros," published in 1896; Condor
Get, in his "Eloge of Roemer," in 1773,
and William Herschel, in 1881, have de-
-scribed both methods. Hooke, Flam-
stead, Cassini, Bradley, Robert Long,
Herschel, Piazzi, and Brinkley strove,
from 1914 to 1920, to determine the small

Both of the above paragraphs appeared
In that paper as editorial, and only a
month apart. The latter Is an extract
from column editorial in abuse of Mr.
NEWTON for giving to the JOURNAL a por
ton of the county advertising, and re-
tanning In his employ an assistant who
was guilty of the objectionable sin--in
the estimation of the editors of that paper
--of preftrring Perrysburg for the loca-
tlon Of the county-seat.
1t is quite evident that the publishers
OF the Sentinel can see nothing but their
own personal interest in the matter. The
assault upon MIR. NEWTON for the en-
ployment of an assistant in his office,
from any particular part of the county,
Is simply ridiculous.
