WEDNESDAY EVENING MARCH 90
The YernaI Equinox.

The sun entered the sign Aries to-day at
4h. 5Om. a. N. The vernal equinox then
took place, the astronomical spring began
and the days and rights are nearly equal
all over the globe. The equipociial crosses
the eclptic every year when the sun
enters the sign Aries, but not at the same
point. The equinoctial falls back or retro
grades about so" of arc in 8 year, and this
complicated movement is called the preces.
sion of the equinox The result of 1t is to
change the position Of the stars and TO make
il necessary 10 have the charts renewed
that mark the position Of the stars. Inc
retrograde motion of the equinox Is only
50>< year, but it amounts to L In about
seventy-two years. The first catalogue OF
the stars was made lao years before Christ,
and the vernal equinox has fallen back since
that time 2S0, so that the sign Aries new
corresponds with the constellation Pisces,
and SO on. The signs do not change.
Wherever the euuinoctial crosses the eclip-
tic each year at the vernal equinox, the sign
Aries commences, aud longtudeis reckoned
from that point. The backward movement
continues for about $4,000 years when
the eouinoctial points have receded
around the eciptc ard new cycle com
mences If the earth were perfect
sphere there would be no procession OF
the equinoxes There is, however, pro-
tuberance of matter at the equator, and the
powerful influence of the sun and moon act.
ing upon this protuberauce of equatorial
matter forces the earth to respond to the at
traction, and causes rolling or wabblipg
motion of the pole of the earth around the
pole of the eclptic in small circle, and
with so slow motion that revolution is
completed in about 10000 years. The
change in the polar star is another result OF
this movement The present polar star
1000 wears hence will no longer hold that
distinction, and those who dwell upon the
earth $1,000 years hence will tiod that its
northern pole points to place in the hesv
ems where Vega is the nearest bright star,
and will be the cynosure of all eyes. No
perceptible change will; however, take place
in our day and generation. The moon-lit
and star lit skies of March are beautiful, bet
no gift the month holds in its hand is more
acceptable to mankind than the advent OF
the vernal equinox, when the gates offspring
are thrown open and the resurrection OF ma
ture takes form in bursting buds, springiDg
grass blades and the few hardy flowers that
are the first to open their eyes to the sun
shine.
