In statement to The Herald, a citi-

"The people living in the vicinity OF

of the pit drops sheer for almost ninety
feet from the side of cottage. There
surely must be some protection from

"The brick men evidently want to get

now these brick men come along and
ruin them. Not only are people being

with a feeling Of awe. how the distance
of the moon, the greater distance of the
sun, and planets can be measured and
stiH the problem is not 50 difficult of
solution as many others. The angle
under which the radius of the earth
would appear when viewed from the
moon or the sun. OF d planet, is called
the parallaX Of the celestial body, and
when the latter is on the horizon it is
called horizontal DarallaX,

This method of finding distance Of the
planets requires. therefore, an accu-
rate determination Of the earth's dis

the most strenuous eXertions have
been TO obtain as accurate value OF
this distance as possible. As we have
mentioned before. this distance can
easily be found after establishing the
suns horizontal paTallaX, and for this
reason il is Of the greatest Importance
to establish this DarallaX- At the be-
ginning Of the last century no result
had yet been attained that might he
called correct. and It was not until a
comparatively recent time that a trust
worthy value of this horizontal Daral-

solution of this important problem dis

not fail to excite the admiration OF
those who are capable of appreciating
such mental laboTs. AS TO the distan-
