WAS HARD PROBLEM
Claims Electrodynamic Waves of Sun,
Alleged Force of Gravitation, Are
Modified as to the Moon, Because Ex-
erted Through Mass of the Earth.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 22-The cause of
the fiuctuation in the motion Of the
moon in its orbit which long has been
puzzle to astronomers-has been dis
covered by Prof. T. j. J. See, director of
the naval observatory at Mare Island,
California, according to a statement
which he gave out today.
Prof. See is visiting his mother in
Montgomery City. Mo. He has made
many important astronomical discover.
les. a particular series being those by
which he upset the old nebular hypo-
thesis in 1909.
Prof See states that the electrody-
manic waves of the sun, which, he an
nounced two years ago, are the force
of gravitation in the solar system, are
modified as to the moon because the
force is exerted through the mass Of the
earth. This interposition of the earth
between the sun and moon causes the
alectro-dynamic waves of the sun to un.
dergo circular refraction. dispersion and
absorption. This, said Prof See, weak
ems the action Of the sun on the moon
when that satellite is near the shadow
Of the earth, as at the time of lunar
eclipses
This weakening Of the gravitational
force of the sun on the moon, he stated
causes the fluctuations in the moons
revolution in its orbit.
For fifty years" said Prof. See. "the
motion Of the moon has defed calcula
tion, and astronomers have been greatly
puzzled by the departure Of the moor
from its predicted place. In 1873 Simor
Newcomb finished an elaborate investi
cation showing that the moons motor
is irregular. and from that day TO thi,
the irregularities Of the moon have de
fed all astronomers and mathemati
clans"
Prof. Sees announcement states thai
the Irregularities in the moons motor
may be calculated. and that thereby tn,
accuracy OF the predicted places in i'll
orbit may be increased twelve fold.

CON NSTIPATION
INVITES DISEASE

A reliable laxative Is necessary
to the comfort and health Of any
well-ordered household, because
constipation Is condition that
affects, in greater or less degree,
practically every member of the
family. When the bowels refuse
to act the entire system is af-
feoted; digestion Is impaired,
nerves begin to twitch, foul gases
and poisons generated by decon-
posing substances in the tntestineg
are distributed throughout tho
body, and often result In serious

LITTLE COMFORT
GIVEN TO BEARS

Chicago, Aug. 8.-Misgivings which
turned out to he correct that the gov
eminent crop report, although heartsh,
would not indicate 80 large q yield OF
corn as had been generally predicted,
led to a moderate upturn in corn
prices today. The market closed firm,
1-2 to Sac net higher. Wheat de-
clined 3-4c net, closing steady; oats
gained 3-8 to lie and provisions rs
to zoe.
Traders in corn had been looking
for an estimated yield of about 3,20o,-
900, 900 bushels. but finally concluded
that this total was too high at present
as the official figures would not take
account of the full benefit from recent
generous rains. Then. too. there were
advices from Kansas to the effect that
the crop in some sections had been ir-
reparably damaged and that benefits
therefore from moisture could not be
general. The result here was a gra-
dual upturn in values that much more
than offset a decline which had been
witnessed in the earlier part Of the
day.
Wheat traders failed to anticipate
the falling of which the government
report showed In the probable yield of
wheat. The fact that harvesting had
begun In Canada tended somewhat to
favor the bear side OF the market.
More or less depression also was due
to opinions expressed that to all prac-
teal purposes the passage OF the food
bill would stif1e business in future de-
liveries.
Oats rallied in sympathy with corn.
Strength characterized provisions
throughout the day.

CROP ESTIMATES.

Chicago. Aug. s.-The August gov
eminent crop report will be given to
the trade at 1:15 p. m. Chicago time
today. The winter wheat crop is ex-
pected to be slightly over 440. 900, 900
bushels; spring wheat, around 234.-
100000 bushels; total. close to $751;
000, 900, against $40. 900, 900 bushels
100000 bushels: oats, slightly over
1,453,000 900 bushels.
One Of h Oldest corn specialists
says cratic action of the market is
due largely to the fact that most of
those now trading in corn formerly
operated In wheat and do not fully
understand the action Of corn trade
as it is different from that in wheat.
He regards crop prospects as the best
in years and while not looking for
any wide changes in prices at present,
believes that corn should be sold on
all sharp advances from this level.
Export bids on oats were out of line
but eastern interests were fair buyers
of cash oats here yesterday. Those
who watched operations closely. said
traders were too bearish and while the
hedging sales are increasing mainly
in the September, there was too much
one-sidedness for the market to go to
pieces at present: A feature Of the
trading yesterday was the buying of
May and selling Of December which
reduced the spread to 3 cents at one
time.-Herald.

report this afternoon will, in my opin-
ion, show about 8 Ia million bushels
Of corn. If market breaks on report
or discounts 1t, would advise buying
