Since the orbit in which the earth
moves about the sun is not circular,
but elliptic, the distance Letween tho
two varies with the seasons, but the
"mean distance" is 81. S07, GOO miles.
This figure is uncertain owing to physi-
cal difficulties in the process of meas
uremcnt, but il is not in error so much
as a thousandth of the whole. And this
uncertainty affects all measure ments
of star distances since the distance be-
tween the sun and our planet serves as
the only base line by which such meas
urements may be attempted. One of the
most familiar illustrations of the i'm
mensity of this distance is that which
conceives Il railway flyer" as speeding
day and night, without stop, over in
visible rails laid in the gloom of outer
space. Such a train, ceaselessly rolling
at the rate of mile per minute, could
not reach the sun in less than rs years.
Disregarding the feature of gavitation,
of course, some of the gigantic missiles
tossed into the air during the recent
conflict between the United States and

regards a medium-could not be heard

Guthrie, Ok, May i6.-The cattlemen
of Western Oklahoma are organizing a

Hutchinson, KAN, May 1G.-A trust
has been formed of all the salt inter

that the Michigan salt trust has en-
croached upon the Kansas field, and
are getting greatly reduced freight
rates. 1t is said the Michigan salt
trust loses money ON every barrel of
salt sold in Kansas territory, but re-
