The snbsidence of Nominating.

According TO La Gazette GCographique the
Cordillera Of the Andes are gradually sink
ing. In 17lj the city Of Quito was 1896 feet
above sea level; in 1903 it was only $50; in
1881, 9567 and scarcely $3.50 in 1861 This
amounts to a lowering of 7j feet in 122 years,
or at the rate of about y inches per annum.
We are also told that tho farm of Antisana
has sunk 100 feet in e. years, or more than
o feet per annum This is the highest in
habited spot on the Audes-about 1000 feet
higher than Quito, the highest city on the
globe. The peak of Pichincha was, accord
ing to the Same authority, @1S feet lower in
1861 than in 11l5 a sinking Of nearly feet
per ennum.
Assuming the accuracy Of these figures, they

VELOCITY OF LIGHT.

In Sixteen Minutes 1t Traverses the D1.
ameter of the Earth's Orbit.
Light moves with the amazing We
locity of one hundred and eighty-fve
thousand miles q second. a speed
million times as great as that of
riHe-bullet. It would make the circuit
of the earth's circumference, at the
equator. seven times in one beat OF the
pendulum.
For long time light was thought to
be instantaneous, but it is now known
to have q measurable velocity. The
discovery was first made by means Of
the eclipses of Jupiter's satellites.
Jupiter, like the earth. casts a
shadow, and when his moons pass
through it, they are eclipsed, just as
our moon is eclipsed when passing
through the earth's shadow. Jupiter's
shadow far surpasses in magnitude
that of the earth. His moons revolye
around him much more rapidly than
our moon revolves around the earth,
and their orbits are nearly in the plane
Of the planets orbit. Consequently
they all, with the exception Of the
fourth and most distant satellite, pass
through the planets shadow and are
eclipsed at every revolution.
Roemer, Danish astronomer, made
in 1875 some curious observations in
regard to the times of the occurrence
of these eclipses. When Jupiter is
nearest the earth, the eclipses occur
about sixteen minutes earlier than
when he is most distant from the earth.
The difference in distance between the
two points is about one hundred and
eighty-five million miles, the diameter
OF the earth's orbit, or twice her
distance from the sun.
1t takes light, therefore, sixteen min
utes to traverse the diameter of the
earth's orbit, and half that time to span
the distance between the sun and the
earth. Light is thus shown to travel
one hundred and eighty-nve thousand
miles in q second, and to take eight
minutes-or more exactly, five hundred
seconds-in coming from the sun to the
earth. &
It follows that we do not see the sun
until eight minutes after sunrise, and
that we do see him eight minutes after
sunset. When we look at star We do
not see the star as it now is, but the
star as it was several years ago. II
takes light three years to come to NJ
from the nearest star. and were It sud-
denly blotted from the sky, We should
see it shining there for three years TO
come.
There are other methods of finding
the velocity of light, but the satellites
of Jupiter first revealed its progress
