swINGING or THE POLE,

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The relative distances of the earth
from the sun at perihelion and aphelion
have never been arbitrarily fixed; ma

two laws, the one the uniform velocity
of respective planets on their true
paths and the other the uniform rota-
ton of respective planets on their &c
centric centers of motion. In all other
respects there are castings and oscilla-
tons in their paths by which respective
uniform velocities are permitted TO be
prime factors in ali calculations. The
present eccentricity of the earth's or
bit, whereby when the earth's pole lies
parallel with the long axis there IS, in
full sidereal year, more than eight
days of sunshine on the northern henri
sphere than on the southern; and now,
by the present pole position, there Is
more than seven days and half more
sunshine.
This Is simply condition which has

The orbit has been less eccentric than

lions to be true beyond criticism

From the foregoing it is readily seen
that :he sunshine ON the northern heIni,
sphere is, slowly, il is true. but surely,

southern hemisphere; and inaSmuch as
sunshine is an element in climatic con-
ditions the gradual transfer of that ele-
ment from one hemisphere To the other

OF the past conditions. From these
facts it can readily be seen how at one
period animal life became extinct in
the higher northern ATTITUDES. when
forty-eight days from present sunshine
was withdraw therefrom-
A maximum eccentricity is not again
to be presumed. but so surely as the
procession of equinoxes continues the
eight extra days of sunshine on
the northern hemisphere viii be
transferred TO the southern hemi-
cur at about July l, and midsummer at
about January l. AS to how much the
near effect of thus transferring sun
shine can not be Appropriated. but il
Is certain that the southern hemisphere
IL increasing as whole IN heat while
heat is propOrtionally decreasing on
the northern hemisphere. Disturb
ances must occur from the increasing
magnetic action on the water hemi-
sphere, and from the decreasing action
on northern ATTITUDES.
The cause of the swinging of the
pole from east to west IS that the
southern hemisphere contains vastly
more water than the northern; conse-
quently as the earth rotates the water
becomes slightly damned up between
America and Europe and between Asia
and America, which is not to
such an extent the condition of the
northern seas; and as result the wa
tiers of northern ATTITUDES do not slide
so much back TO the west from the land
rotation. Northern icebergs moving
toward the southwest and southern
icebergs moving toward the northwest
proves that the northern regions exert
slightly centrifugal force toward the
south pole. The earth is kept in equi-
hbrium by yielding TO its own impulses
relative to itself. The notion that
gravity is the cause of the procession OF
equinoxes Is not an emanation from
those who have given to the subject
such personal study as to become au-
thority on the subject matter
