AN APOLOGY.

Last week the TIMES published u
little squib that was meant for a mild
criticism on our brother editors of the
town for what we then supposed was
| their habit OF giving away their prof
| its in printing the premium list OF
the Chanute fair association and not
demanding fair aud equitable consid-
Grafton from this association. The
| little shaft somehow flew wrong and
seemed TO wound the sensibilities of
| the secretary OF the association, and
he came down to our sanctum with
blood in his eye aud used some rather
impolite language.
On a little investigation Ct the
matter we have discovered that we
were in error. 1t seems the printers
received fairly reasonable compeu-
sation for their work. We also owe
the secretary an apology for that word
"rake off" which seemed to offend,
though very unintentional on our
part, and hereby apologize. We learn
from the president of the association
that there was no rake off about the
matter. The secretary simply got all
that was left after the printer was
paid. The merchants and business
men of the town have been from year
10 year canvassed and urged to con-
tribute to the publication of this
book, for the good of the association.
The onlv benefit the association
gets out of these donations is that 1t
gets the premium list without any
cost to it. Any merchant who adver-
tlzes in this book can take one of the
books and see about how much money
is raised from the ads. 1t is probably
wo. tin from 300 to$125 to print the
book. 1t is worth something to gather
up these ads and collect for them but
the secretary was paid last year 800
for his services by the association.
This may not be enough, we cannot
say, but we do not think it right to al
low the printing of this premium list
to become a matter of personal specu-
lation by the secretary. We do not
think the merchants Of the town
understood this arrangement. They
do not buy the space with any idea OF
great profit accruing. to them by virtue
of it, but to help the association
With this matter fully understood, il
the merchants still wish TO contribute
in the way they have in past years
there can be no objections to the
scheme.

HOW THE SPECTROSCOPE PROVES
THAT THE EARTH IS A WANDERER.

There Is an expedition from the Lick
Observatory now in the Southern Hemis-
phere trying to find out more accurately
than they are at present known the di-
rection and speed of the motion OF the
solar system through space.
AL that we now know on this subject,
in a general way. is that the sun with the
earth and his other planets. is flying
through the universe. from Il point in the
south toward a point in the north. with a
speed of about ScO,0C0.Oc9 miles per year.
The object now is to ASCERTAIN as nearly
as possible the exact situation OF the point
toward which we are moving, and the ex-
act velocity Of our flight.
The ultimate fate OF our globe may be
involved in this, and at any rate II is an
inquiry of immense intellectual interest.
That the spectroscope (whose business
is simply to analyZe light and spread out
its component colors. at the same time re-
vealing certain significant gaps between
the light waves which appear as black
lines in the colored band Of the spectrum
should be able to tell US anything about
the motion OF the earth seems at first
sight utterly Incredible. Indeed, the fact
is one of the most surprising known to
science.
Yet the manner in which the spectre
scope does this is really very simple.
When the light of a. star is passed
a Fpectroscope it is spread cut
into a colored band. in which the red
waves are at ore end and the violet waves
at the other end. while the orange, yellow.
green. blue and indigo waves are ar
ranged in regular order between them.

and until recently no entirely commendabe solution
has been offered.
SO. If the ways and the means are at command.

tied districts which have sprung up in scattered
spots. In many such cases public work is n burden
and not infrequenty it cannot be done because of
the great expense.

I The reason these colors are thus sepa-
| rated is because the waves of light be-
longing to them vary in length and in
quickness Of vibration. The red waves
are the longest and the slowest: the vio-
| let waves are the shortest and the quick

In passing through the spectrOscope the

straight course than are the shorter and
quicker waves. and the consequence is
that after they have all passed they APP

In addition to the colors, as already re-
marked. the spectroscope shows certain
gaps in the array of light waves which
appear as thin back lines in the spectrum.
These lines serve as landmarks to deter
mine the exact position in the spectrum
of particular wave lengths of light.
Now, starting with these facts, let Us
try to see what the spectroscope can tell
about the motion of the earth.
Suppose we begin with star that lies
directly ahead of US. that is to say, right
in the path which the earth is pursuing.
Evidently that star will be drawing
nearer. and the effect must be to cause
the waves OF light that come from it to
enter our eyes more rapidly than they
would otherwise do.
They are. SO to speak. crowded together
in consequence of the earth's motion to-
ward them. and the spectroscOpe shows
the result Of this crowding by a shifting
