ORBITS OF THE PLANETS.
Why They Are Eclipses and Cannot
Become Perfect Circles.


Every ellipse has two foci. Kepler's
second law is, ''The orbits of all of the
planets are ellipses, the sun being in
one common focus of them ALL" All
of the other foci are empty space. The
eccentricities of orbits Of all planets
vary on account of the attraction of all
the other planets making variations.
Some are decreasing while others are
increasing, but none can ever become
exact circles since there are eight mu-
tually disturbing planets.
That of the earth's orbit is now de-
creasing and, according to the French
astronomer Leverrier, who took time
to make elaborate mathematical re-
searches in this part of astronomy, will
continue to decrease during about
$4,000 years, but will not vanish, max
ing the earth's orbit an exact circle,
and then will begin to increase.
The orbit of Venus now has the least
eccentricity and is therefore nearer a
true circle than any other orbit, but it
cannot become a circle, one reason
being the disturbance caused by the
huge mass of the earth. One earth re
volving around one sun, both triIlions
Of miles away from any other disturb
ing, could traverse true circle.-Edgar

WILL MAKE a TEST CASE.

Last Saturday the Minnesota Railroad
and Warehouse Commission handed
down decision in the side-track case
against the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway Company requiring the company
to construct the side-track within thirty
days after the compliance by Mr.. Ochs
with certain conditions. The track is
estimated to cost $2,298.71. Mr.. Ochs
is required to do the grading and furnish
the right of way, move his barn, grub out
some trees and change telephone poles.
The Northwestern road disputes the
right of the commission to require it to
furnish side-tracks to private industries
and intends to test the law in the supreme
court The litigation will decide that
question. The company does not wish
to deprive Mr.. Ochs of the use of the
track pending the suit and it is likely that
the track will be put in and the ultimate
cost will be paid by the party losing
