Wandering Of Minor Planets.

The "mislaying" Of the minor planets
Is sometimes due to their actually fail
ing to keep their appointments at the
places where, according to calculation,
they ought to be. An instance is the
case of No. 1853, otherwise known as
Hilda. DR.. Palisa discovered her In
1875 and calculated her orbit But at
tempts to find her again failed. and
she was almost given up as lost until
Or. Palisa found her again in 1S79-a
long way, however. from where she
had been expected. The discrepancy
was caused by the effect upon Hilda
of the attraction Of Jupiter, Of whom
she is a comparatively near neighbor.
For these little planets are scattered
over a wide belt Hilda gets within
100000 miles of the orbit of Jupiter,
and Aethra at times actually comes
nearer to the sun than Mars ever does.
