DETERMINE COURSE OF SUN
Scientists Give Great Luminary AGO.
600 Years to Reach Apex That
II Is Making For.

In according with the recognition
OF two Independent streams or drifts
of stars, and the discovery that the
sun belongs to one of them, a revision
became necessary of the determine
ton of the path of the sun in space.
Liable Moreux sums up In Scientia
the recent work which has been done
In ascertaining what is called the
solar apex. beginning with that of
Professor Kopold of Kiel, who was
the first to bring to light In 1908 the
systematic error which has been in
troduced in all previous determine
tons Of this point
1t is clear that this error might be-
come considerable II while the sun
were moving toward the apex Of it's
own path 1t were also part of swarm
OF stars moving with 1t. The rede-
termination of the direction of the
suns path among the stars has been
accompanied by a new investigation
OF the speed at which the solar sys-
tenn moves in space. The new inves-
tigation. which has only been under
taken systematically since the begin
ming of the century, depends for its
results on the application of the prin-
ciple that the wave length of a ray
of light must alter according as the
source of light is moving toward or
away from the observer. To apply
1t to the particular problem before us
n hQQ0nnao N a
radial movements of a large number
of stars situated in the direction fol-
lowed by the sun with the radial
movements of the stars which the
solar system Is leaving behind
Movements of approach would be
in the majority in the first case;
movements of departure would be
dominant in the second By striking
a mean, relatively to the movements
Of the stars employed in the calcu-
lation. the speed of movement of the
solar system might be arrived at.
When all the new determinations are
correlated the following seem to be
the results which embody the sun of
observations up to the present time:
That the sun is being carried in the
direction of the constellation of
Lyra, probably aiming at a point in
the neighborhood of the star Vega,
and little to the south of it; and that
the speed of its path is somewhere be-
tween 20 and "a kilometers second
II Vega were no farther away than
our nearest neighbor Alpha Centauri,
the sun would reach its goal in 10000
years at latest, or $4,000 years at
earliest. But Vega is nearly six times
as far away, and the solar apex will
not therefore be reached for some
1000 years.

Explaining the Telegraph.

AS general rule, the telegraph no
longer arouses the wonder and awe
that it did in our grandfathers. In re-
mote countries, however, there are
still people who have never heard of
1t, or who are unable to understand
1t. Das Echo tells of the perplexity
that the telegraph caused in small
village of Bosnia.
The government had installed a
telegraph line from Prijedor to BIZ
hatsch
What is the meaning of this wire?"
asked the astonished inhabitants of a
village through which the line hap
pened to pass
1T is a telegraph" said the head
man of the village, who had been in
consultation with the officials. "One
can send message along this wire.
straight from here to STEAMBOAT"
The villagers were incredulous.
THAT is impossible. How can a mes
sage run along a wire?"
The headman thought awhile; then
he hit upon the proper explanation.
Imagine" he said, "a dog that is ter
ribly long, and whose tail is stretched
like the wire on these poles; imagine
that his tail is SO long that he reaches
from here to STEAMBOAT. Now, suppose
we pinched his tail here. Wouldn't
he howl In Stamboul?'
The villagers understood.-Youth's

lunching with friends In Philadelphia
When the fish course arrived he
caused semi-panic among the wait

entirely raw.
The novelist ate it that way with

compared with cooked fish, the raw
article was just as delicious as raw
oyster or a clam.
