HISTORICAL CIRCULAR.
Continued from last week)

y - Ks ( 4
The pole describes circle in the
heavens around the pole Of the eclip-
tic as q center, keeping constantly at
i distance of % e 49, from it in every
direction from east to west. AS this
! point, then, has such motion, 1t
necessarily follows that the earth's
axis has such q motion, in virtue of
which 1t points successfully to every
point Of the small circle in question.
The whole earth participates in the
motion, and goes along with the axis
rs If it were bar of iron driven
through it. These movements Of pre-
cession and mutation are common to
the celestial bodies, and this circum-
stance makes it impossible to attribute
THEM TO ANY OTHER CAUSE THAN A
REAL MOTION SUCH AS WE HAVE DEs-
CRIBED. Outlines of Astronomy by
Sir John F. W. Herschel.
The axis of the world earth and
seas--is directed to the north star,
and the axis of the. earth is directed
to the circumference of circle des-
cribed daily around the north star as
q center. The radius of the circle
undergoes a change in length CORE
spending to change in tie axis of
the earth at the close of a "time."
During rotation of the world on
I. it's axis "the mean sun" reckons the
last four minutes of time back on
that circle. An increase Of one sixth
of a second in the length of it's min

Fl In that day shall there be an altar
to the Lord in the midst of the land
of Egypt, and pillar at the border
thereof to the Lord, and 1t shall be
for q sign and for a witness unto the
Lord. ~" Isaiah XIX, 10, 90.
The Pyramids of Egypt are all that
remain of any of the seven wonders
of the Ancient World, and they were
old before any of the others had been
thought of. Extensive researches
and elaborate arguments have been
used to- show that they had been
erected as monuments to mono
theism, as prophecies of the birth Of
Christ, and as mathematical proph-
ecy of the second Advent, measuring
in numbers Of inches the year 1882. ;"
