egraphy. But the figures produced are
very marked. much more so than those
which are read with ease by cable OPP
orators. Any can satisfy himself
that the lines are readable by COM
pairing the same words spoken by diff
ferent persons.
The writing of the Autograph does
not record letters, but the sounds OF
which a word Is composed. 1t Is, Of
course purely phonetic, and takes no
account of spelling. So delicate is the
instrument that the intervals between
the sounds in one word are recorded.
The sounds which are accompanied by
the closing of the lips are represented
by the highest curves. Those in which
the lips are only slightly contracted
are represented by lower curves, and
those in which they are held wide
apart appear as depressions. The
varying height of the lines Is the chief
factor in enabling one to read them,
as it is in ocean t%elegraphs. This in
strument, however, is only in the in
fancy of its development.
The SUMS Apparent Motion In tho Zodiac
This ferns an interesting object les
son to any one interested in the study
of both astronomy and astrology. The
sun being the centre, it's apparent mo-
tion is caused by the real motion of
the earth in it's orbit around the sun.
About the 21st of March the earth
comes to the first point of the Zodiacal
sign Libra. Aries is the sign opposite
to Libra, consequently when we look
at the sun it appears to be in the first
degree of Aries; it will also be observ-
ed that the sun appears to rise almost
exactly east and sets directly west.
The earth journeys on through the
signs, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius;
while the sun seems to transmit
through Aries, Taurus and Gemini;
during this time the sui has been ris-
ing a little more north of east, and
setting a little more north of west
every day. The earth has now reached
the first point of Capricornus, and the
sun appears to enter the first point of
Cancer, which. it does about the 21st
OF June, and we have the longest day
of the year, their length having been
increasing gradually since the 22nd
OF the previous December. The IL
has now reached it's extreme northern
declinGtion, or distance, north of the
equator. The earth proceeds on through
the signs Capricornus, Aquarius and
Pisces, while the sur apparently trans
mits through Cancer, Leo and Virgo,
and seems to rise and set every day
a little nearer to a direct line east and
west. Now the earth has arrived at
II first Doint of Aries, which is about
C Fed and ninety millions Of
where it started, and the
ri Use and set on the line east
and we5 again. The earth goes on
through les, Taurus and Gemini at
the SAN time the sun seems to be
going through Libra, Scorpia and Sa-
gittarius, and every day it rises and
sets more and more south of the direct
line east and west until the 22nd of
December; then the sun has reached
its extreme southern declination, and
the earth has reached the first point
of Cancer. AS the earth passes on
through the signs Career, Leo and
Virgo the sun has apparently journey
ed through Capricornus and Pisces,
and has been rising and setting more
and more north each day until 1t ar
rives at the equincc.ial line again.
They are both now at the same place
they were at the beginning, and the
earth is ready TO start out on the same
interesting journey again; during this
period of 1865 days the earth travels in
its orbit over 600, OOO, 900 miles.-Prof
