FROM EARTH TO SUN.

Error Of $1,000 Miles.
For a long time astronomers nave
been trying TO measure accurately the
distance from the earth TO the sun.
Once ascertained. this would serve as
unit OF measure in exploring the
starry realms. The stupefying pre-
ciSion with which these learned men
announce the goings and the comlngs
of celestial bodies seems TO indicate
that an error of few million miles
more or less In the measurement OF
distances makes little difference In the
perfection OF their calculations.
