Why We Have Hot weather,

Ihe sun was in apogee, and the earth In
aphellon, this morning at twenty four minutes
after three that Is, the earth reached the part
OF her orbit In which she is at the greatest dis
lance from the sun. For, strange as If may
seem, the earth Is now three millions OF miles
further from the sun than she was on the first
of last January. Taking the most approved
estimation OF the suns distance and using
round numbers to express the same the dis
lance between the sun and earth Is at present
ninety-three millions of miles, while In mid
winter the two bodies are ninety millions Oh
miles apart. The question naturally arises as
10 The reason why we do not have the Coolest
weather when the sun is fartheSt away. This
is easily explain for the suns RAYS fall
perpendicularly upon the earth in mid
intensity of the heat far overbalanciug
the difference in the distance. The sum
mtr heat Is, however, tempered by the
greater distance OF the central fire. for in the
uthern hemisphere. where the sun is in
reTigee at midsummer, the heat Is intensified,
and the temperature is higher i'm Australia
nd Southern Africa than in corresponding
iftitudes north of the equator. Ii is well we
were MOI living about thirty-SiN hundred years
before the creation of adam, for the sun was
then in perigee during the northern summer,
and in appogee during the northern winter.

summer at that distant period of the world 5
the northern winter twenty-three degrees

And takings on OF one kind and another
