fashions are adopted, even by the most
rigidly patriotic OF Princesses. At the
epoch Of the arrival Of Queen Victoria in
Paris in 1856. on visit TO the Emperor and
Empress, the latter had just brought hooped
skirts into vogue. The Queen forthwith
sent her a messenger to purchase one for
her, and on her next approach before her
Imperial host and hostess her skirts were
expanded into the new and fashionable
amplitude. But her Majesty had not COM

the tapes that held the hoops In place, and

The Procession OF the Eluinoxes and 9th
er Astronomical Phcnomcna.
The earth rcvolves on her axis In twen-
ty-three hours, fifty-six minutes and four
seconds. This time is required for one ro-
tation from o star round TO the same star
again. The revolution is therefore called
q sidereal day. While the Garth has been
turning on her axis she has been advanc.

minutes on the average 10 come TO the same
position in regard to the sun; thus, adding
four minutes to the length Of the sidereal
day, gives twenty-four hours for the solar
day.
The time Of the axial rotation has not va
ried the hundredth part Of q second In two
thousand years. Itmsy, therefore, be con-
sidered as invariable, and Is consequently
adopted as fundamental unit in astro-
nomical measurement. 81 Pc
The earth revolves In her orbit around the
sun In 365.26 days, giving another standard
measure OF time, the length OF the year.

The earth has o more complicated motion

It consists Of wabbling motion OF the pole
Of the heavens around the pole Of the
ecliptic In q small circle requiring twenty
five thousand years 10 complete. Itis caused
by the attraction Of the sun and moon upon
the earth at the equator. Consequently,
ecliptic and equator do not cross at the same
point, but the equlnoctial falls back each
year fifty seconds OF degree. M.
One effect Of this movement is TO change
