Where Are We G0irg?

The earth g.es around the sun once
a year. The path which it follows is
not cirele, bGs an elIipse, longer one
way than another, suoh as boy makes
of his hoop when he holds it upright,
and, resting his weight upon it, bends
it somewhat out Of shape. The sun,
being not at the center of the ellipse,
but in one Of it's two fool, the earth
is not always just SO, 900, 600 miles
from the sun, but sometimes more,
sometimes less. At this time of year,
despite the cold weather, the enrth is
3,25O, 600 miles nearer the sun than it
is July 1, despite the hot weather.
At the CLOSE Of this year we may say
that the earth is Just where it was at
the close Of last year; it has again
come around to the came spot. This
does not seem like getting ahead any.
HnsWaitl The sun itself is rushing
through space ct the rate of twelve
miles q eeoond. and the earth always
gees With it.: Hence, though in rela:
t on to the sun, tho earth stands to.
day where it did q year ago, in rela-
ton to the stars all space it ia as many
miles removed as there are seconds in
the year multiplied bytwelve. Where
is it going? God only knows. Where
are we, and where are We going? We
ought to knoW.-Boy's World. ~
