The Sun a Poor Clock o
By EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

Time must be added when sun
is slow and subtracted when fast.
The maximum times to be added

seconds on July &c. The maximum
times to be subtracted are, May
IA, minutes So seconds, and,
November 2, 10 minutes IS sec
onds.
why is sun dali"
A mean time clock, that Is,
clock regulated to show average
time, is based on the idea OF the
sun being on the equator and
moving at precisely with the real
average rate of the true sun in
its apparent orbit-the real orbit
of the earth. But astronomers
with accurate instruments do not
secure absolute time from the
transits of the huge sun across
their meridian. but with far more
accuracy by observing transits OF
minute needle points, the images
Of stars across spider threads in
the focal planes of their transit
telescopes.
The sun never reaches the zen
it'll in the United States. But.
through great Sosmical causes,
these maxima as given above are
themselves subjected to secular
changes. All OF which ought to
make it apparent that sun dials
are practically useless

A.-The sun is worse than a

First-The orbit of the earth
around the sun is not a circle,
but an ellipse and the sun is not
in the center of it, but to one side,
