fessed that the new administration does
not enter upon Its term Of Office under

who should be thoroughly fam,l-

however. that the city il dan erously near
Its ultimate debt limit, and that We are not
far from the point where further borrow
ing would be In violation of the constitu.
ton. Tho accounts Of many Of the de-
partments have been most wretchcdly
kept. Work which should have been
attended to from time to time has been
neglected during tho past two years, and
much which should have been done
and paid for in the past must
be done within the next two years.
Never since the fire have the streets been

Today the vernai Equinox.

New 1ork lines.
This year the vernal equinox occurs In
the forenoon of March % Ecliptic and
equator cross each other, the days and
nights are of nearly equal length. and the
suns rays span tho poles. One would
quite naturally think. from . glance at Q
star chart. that the place of junction be-
tween eclip,ic and equator would always
be the same each succeeding year. This,
however, is by no means the case. The
equinox moves westward fifty seconds
every year. which phenomenon 10
explained as follows: The earth 10 slightly
tiattened at the poles and bulges out at the
equator. The attraction of the sun and
moon on this ring Of matter causes the
pole Of the equator to revolve around the
pole of the ecliptic IN a small circle that
requires 26.oo0 years for its completion.
The westward movement OF the equinox.
due TO the same cause, completes In the
same time its backward movement around
the ecliptic. after which the celestial
machinery begins new revolution with
the same resuts. To all Of this has been
given the name of the procession OF the
eqaInoxes. For the same reason the polar
star changes. the stars seem to move for
ward. and new star charts have to be made
every fifty years. The earth. instead OF
moving quietly In space, - puico Hitust
