CONTINUED Next Week,
Where Are We Goina?

One of the most difficult questions
that astronomers have to solve Is the
direction and velocity of the flight of
the solar system through space. We or
dinarily speak of the world going round
the sun as if that revolution was per-
formed year after year in the same
path, the sun standing still while the
earth moves. But, as q 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 q beaten circle, but in a 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 thai in that part of the sky to-
ward which we are going the stars are
observed to be slowly moving apart,
while in the opposite part Of the heav-
ems they are drawing together.
But now ONE the difficulty. On &C.
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
hlu u lll5 ulOSl uellCdL6 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 movements of tho
individual stars from their apparent
movements due to the actual motion Of
the earth.
Yet, difficult as this task is, it has
been attempted over and over again.
and astronomers are still engaged on 1t.
There are two things that they wish
particularly to learn: a. in exactly
what direction we are thus jo~urneyinr
through space, and (2) Just how fast
We are going. The latest results indt-
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 It d
thought that the entire solar system
ts moving through space at the rate Of
- miles . second, but estimates ~ to
this vary:

STOPPED SHORT
Taking Tonlcs, and Built UP on
Right Food.

The mistake Is frequently made Of
trying to build up a WORKOUT nervous
system on so-called tonics-drugs.
New material from which to rebuild
wasted nerve cells is what should be
supplied, and this can be obtained
only from proper food.

prescribed by physicians, but their
