attributed it to the time it took the
light from the planet to reach the
earth.
Astronomers of our time have ap-
preached the subject with more re
fined apparatus, and it is now known
that the actual difference in time is
words it takes light that length OF
time. to cross the diameter of the
earth's orbit-1S6, 600, 900 miles Divid-
ing this diameter by the difference in
the result will show that light travels
at the enormous rate of 186.300 miles
per second. So delicate is the appar-
atus by which the velocity of light is
now determined that the millionth part
OF a second can be measured by it as
easily as a carpenter can measure the
breadth Of a board.

Der Of miles light travels in a year of
S65 and a quarter days, which repre-
sents five and seven eighths trillion
miles. The following illustrations will
serve to show its application: For many
years 81 Cygni was supposed to be the
nearest star visible to the naked eve
in northern skies, it is los light years
distant, but Sirius is now known to
be the nearest, being 81 light years
distant, showing that the light by
which we now see the star started on
its flight over eight years ago. The
nearest star to the earth is "a" Centuri.
it is in the southern hemisphere, and
is 4.S light years distant.
In the article in the July issue on
Jupiter and its Satellites it was stated
that satellites V, VI, VII and VIII
were discovered by photography, this
was correct as regards the three lat
ter, but was an error as regards W
which was discovered usually by Pro-
fessor Barnard.
The Great Red Spot on Jupiter, which
has remained more or less distinctly
visible since 1873, though for a good
many years it was very faint, was OBJ
on June oath, of this year, at
the Yerkes Observatory, by Professor
Barnard with the 12-inch telescope,
when it was well seen. The existence
IF this spot can be traced further back
than 1873.

Could one harness a wave of light a
trip to the Moon or Mars or to any
planet in our Solar System would be
a possibility. Travelling at the enor-
nous rate of 1863 miles per second
light Is really an annihilator OF time
and space. A trip around the world
would be possible in less than one
eighth Of a second.
Calico was the first to attempt
the measure Of its progress. He sta
toned two men with lanterns a mile
or two apart, one Of them to flash
signal which was to be instantly re-
turned by the other the time elapsing
for the first signal and its return from
the second to the first station to be
the measure q its progress, but there
was no appreciate result, and what
wonder, as II is now known that light
would cover such a short distance in
the hundredth part of the thousandth
of second, and was necessarily in
Simultaneous.
Nature revealed to man that light
was not instantaneous in its action
through the eclipsing Of the satellites
Of Jupiter. In 1870, Roemer, a noted
Danish astronomer, then in Paris,
sought to improve the tables of these
ecipses and found a marked variation
in the time OF their occurrence as the
earth in its orbit approached or re-
coded from the planet, amounting to
% minutes from the point of the
earth's nearest approach to its great
est distance from the planet, and he
