The Standard Oil company Is not
living up to Its rule TO take no oil that
tests under 30 degrees. The Chanute

Gettinc Nearer the Sun.

Astronomers. basing their figures on
eclinses and other phenomena, have cal
culated that the sun is A,eOO,cco miles
away from the earth. This seems an IN
stance of astronomical overcapitaliza-
ton to Theodore NJ. Geisel, a mechan-
zeal engineer Of Jersey City. He ngures
that the distance is only 1,4e0 600 miles,
In a printed communication lately
made public he explains the process by
which he reaches his conclusion. he
starts with the assumption that the
diameter of the earth is 5000 miles and
fits circumference 25,1S2.S miles. II
makes, he says, s5,1S2.s miles Of Its cir
cult around the sun each "a hours. AS
It takes 1865 days for It to complete the
circuit, its orbit around the sun just
naturally must be 365 times 25,1S2.S' or
e.173.472 miles. That would make a
circle with diameter Of 1920, 600 miles.
"A little judgment must convance any
thinker" he says, that the sun must
be at the center Of this circuit. or at q
distance from the earth Of one-haf OF
the diameter Of the circle. So that the
distance from the surface Of the earth
to the center of the sun is 100000, and
not, as the great students Of economy
claim, 93,999,OOO miles" This intelli
gence may make the iceman more auto
cratic the coming summer.
