Where Are We Goino2

One of the most difficult questions
that astronomers have to solve Is the
direction and velocity or the flight Of
the solar system through space. We Or
dinarily speak Of the world going round
the sun as IL that revolution was per-
formed year after year In the same
path, the sun standing still while the
earth moves. But. as a matter of fact,
the sun moves as well as the earth.
Our planet goes round the sun from
east to west, but at the some time, the
sun moves from south to north. The
earth, therefore. Is really travelling, not
in a beaten circle, but in spiral line,
which Is gradually carrying 1t toward
certain stars in the northern sky, And,
of course. all the other planets also
travel in spirals. going at the same
time round and round the sun, and with
the sun toward the north.
The simplest proof that this motion
of the solar system really exists is the
fact that I'm that part OF the sky to-
ward which we are going the stars are
observed to be slowly moving apprt,
while in the opposite part of the heav
ems they are drawing together.
But now comes the difficulty. On ac-
count OF the immense distance Of the
stars, the apparent motions exhibited
by them as a result of our varying dis
lance from them are exceedingly slight:
far too slight to be detected without the
aid Of the most delicate instruments,
applied with an accuracy and precis-
ion that only great skill and long prac-
tice can give.
Then too. each star has an actual
motion of it's own-one in one direction
and another in another-for, like our
sun, they are all journeying through
space. without by any means keeping
STEP The observer must, consequent
ly, in the first place measure motions
that are almost beyond the reach of
measurement. and In the second place
distinguish the real NOV ements OF the
individual stars from their apparent
movements due to the actual motion of
the earth.
Yet, difficult as this task is, 1t has
been attempted over and over again.
and astronomers are still engaged on 1t.
There are two things that they wish
particularly to learn: Cd in exactly
what direction we are thus journeyine
through space, and CD just how fast
We are going. The latest results indi-
cate that the point toward which we
are moving lies in the eastern part of
the constellation Hercules, not far from
the very brilliant star Vega. II is
thought that the entire solar system
Is moving through space at the rate of
~ miles a second, but estimates an 10

so careful and who endeavors to take
the turn at high speed.
Now, the evidence as to the speed
of the reckless mans car will prob
ably be regarded as guess work. He
may swear that he was going at ten
miles an hour and it may be difficult
TO disprove it: on the other hand, there
may be irrefutable and most damning
evidence of wheel marks TO show that
the other car was being driven around
the corner on the wrong side of the
road. If, added to this evidence,
charges are made that the latter car
was also being driven far too fast, so
fast that it could not be turned onto
its proper course without colliding side
wise with the other vehicle, ii is more
than probable that il will be believed
and decided that a driver who would
drive on the wrong side of the road
might also drive too fast.
This long imaginary case is given
to impress upon the owner, whether
he drives his car himself or entrusts
it to a hired chauffeur. the importance

EVEN the most expert drivers of cars
Il are liable to censure for the man
ner in which they turn corners.
There is evidence of this in the tracks
Of the wheels which can be seen at

that very many cars fail to hug close

piece affair that hardly would be no
ticed without attention being called
to it.
1t appears as a small collar of &c
the starting crank. The action of the
device is to throw the starting crank
out of engagement with the crank
shaft whenever there is back kick
Of the motor, SO that it is impossible
for there to be any violent backward
swing Of the starting handle. When
the back firing occurs, the starting
crank moves back total or about M
teen degrees, and half that distance is
after II has been disengaged from the
crank shaft The device is the inven-
ton of William R Webster, consult
ing engineer of Philadelphia, who had
trouble himself with Blackjack.
The first piece composing the device
is a collar that is pinned to the shaft
Of the starting handle and constitutes
one part of a rachel that turns freely
from left to right, as in cranking the
engine; when there is a back kick
and the crank shaft starts reverse
movement, this first collar locks with
the second piece, which fits over the
first piece and has a ball or roller in
il so as to act as the other part OF the
rachel. This second piece has on its
inner face a cam that limits the move
because of coming into contact with a
lug on the third member, which is the
bracket of the device When the
clutches of the crank shaft and handle
are engaged for cranking, this lug on
the bracket is. in contact with the cam
face at its lowest point; in case of a
back kick" the cam face presses
against and rOtateS on the fixed fin
die is forced outward and directly free
of the clutch. If the crank shaft turns
Harvard the clutches are diSengaged in
the usual manner, of course.
