Motion of the Sun.

Owing to the revolution of the earth
the sun seems to make it's daily cir
cult around us, which of course is not
the case. But the sun is revolving
about it's center quite as truly as the
earth is. 1t was one Of the conceptions
of that most remarkable man, Sir John
Herschel, that the whole solar system
had motion in space and was ad-
vancing toward a point in the heavens
near the star Hercules Sir Johns con-
ception-as bold an idea as ever en-
tered the human minds now gener-
ally accepted by astronomers, and the
opinion is quite universal among them
that the entire system is tracing out a
curvilinear path in space, a course
around some mighty center, probably
at Hercules.

satisfaction.

to know that he was in evident good
health and spirits, and that he planned
to make an early return to this coun-

to be able to spend about a week on
the other side. and that his announced
purpose of adhering to his original plan
indicated that he was far less dis

has been supposed.
