SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
PLANETS AS NON.DIsTURBERs.

At n recent meeting of the astronomical sec
ton of the Minnesota Historical Society, Mr..
s. J. Corrigan read a sensible paper showing
that the near approach of several of the great
planets to the sun and earth cannot produce any
unusual disturbance. The only RATIONAL
method, he says, of learning whether the
forces radiating from the planets can appre-
Gladly affect the earth, - to subject them 10
analysis according to the fundamental laws
that govern all forces. The principal law Is
that all radiant forces diminish IN intensity as
the square of the distance through which they arc
cxcrted increases and vice versa. when Jupl-
ter is i'm pcriheion, once in twelve years, and IN
conjunction with the earth, he II 23.OoO,OO OF

stances, 5O,OOO,OOO OF miles nearer IMAM HIS
