At first sight it might be con-
cluded that south Of the equator
the summers must be unbearably
hot and the winters excessively
cold. There is a tendency toward
that state Of things. but it is great
~ ameliorated by the fact that the
southern hemisphere is mainly a
water hemisphere. while the north
ern is far more extensively a land
hemisphere. The function Of the
ocean in meteOrology is 10 equalize
temperatures and smooth down sea.
sonal inequalities. Thus the south
ern hemisphere appears 10 be pecu-
liarly fitted TO endure the seasonal
excuses that the situation OF the
aphelion and perihelion produces.
The difference in the amount Of
heat received from the sun. caused
by the change in distance OF 5000, -
600 miles is about six percent.

its vast land expanses, were 10

some WAYS disastrous. This change

tipped toward the direction of the
aphelion point.
Since summer in either hemi-
sphere must occur when that hemi-
sphere is inclined toward the sun
che sun then running high in the
sky during the daytime), and since
the direction of the axis in space
is such as TO tip the north end OF
the axis toward the sun when the
earth is at aphelion, or at its great
est distance. il necessarily follows
that the summer of the northern
hemisphere comedies in time with
the earth's greatest distance from
the sun.

The same reasoning explains the
fact that the southern summer oc-
ours when the earth is nearest the
sun. or in perihelion. To make
this perfectly clear YOU should draw
an ellipse, putting the sun in one of
its foci. i. G., nearer one end of the
long axis than the other. and then
represent the earth by two little cir
cles, one at either end Of the ellipse.
with its axis SO inclined in both
cases that the North pole (Which
YOU may represent as the upper
one). leans in the direction Of the
perihelion end, while the lower. or
southern, pole leans toward the
aphelion end. A little diagram like
that is more enlightening than a
page of print provided that you
draw il correctly.
There is one great fact about the
surface Of the earth which makes
the arrangement of the axis with
regard TO the aphelion and perihe-
lion points Of the orbit as that ar
rangement now exists. Of supreme
importance TO the earth's inhabi-
tants. The northern hemisphere
having its summer when the earth is
farthest from the sun. enjoys a cool
err summer, and conversely a warm
er winter. than il would if the stu
alton we're reversed But, as We
have seen, the situation actually is
reversed with reference to the south
ern hemisphere.

When The Earth is
Nearest the Sun
BY GARRETT p. SERVES.

II
I'm a recent argument con-
tended that the earth is nearer the
sun during the summer months than
it is in winter. Am l right?-C. W.
NJ, Ocala, Fla
If you refer 10 the summer and
winter Of the northern hemisphere
you are wrong, but with respect 10
the southern hemisphere YOU would
be right The earth travels around
the sun in an elliptical orbit. having
an eccentricity of about 1-60th,
which means that the sun is situated
aside from the center of the ellipse
at a distance corresponding TO 1-60th
Of the semi-major axis Of the ellipse,
which axis is equal 10 the mean. or
average. distance Of the earth from
the sun.
The semi major axis represents
the unvarying distance that would
separate the earth from the sun il
the orbit were a circle. In that
case. of course. the sun would be
situated at the center of the circle.
Since the earth's mean distance
from the sun is known 10 he about
93.OOO.000 miles. it is only necessary
10 divide this by 90 in order 10 find
how much nearer the earth is 10 the
sun when at one end of its orbit, and
how much farther when at the 9TH
or end, than il would be if the or
bit were circular.

honest chronicler of facts. we have to report
that after delivering the above this legislator
voted the bill woman's suffrage But that
doesn't matter. His speech is full of possibilities of
great usefulness. and the point To give widespread
publicity that may reach the needy. We have no
hesitation saying detailed account Of von-
creation may touch the spot when that old rib
story be completely inefcacious even dangerous.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1917-06-30

The difference thus found.
amounts. in each case. TO about l.
100000 miles. This amount is sub
tracted from the mean distance
when the earth is at that end of
the ellipse which is nearest the sun,
and added when il is at the oppo-
site end, making the total change OF
distance 5000, 600 miles. Since the
earth takes year &c complete a
revolution. il goes from one end OF
the maior-axis Of the elHpse 70 the
other in six months, returning, in SIX
months more. 20 the point from
which it started. Thus twice in the
course Of a year the earth's distance
from the sun changes 10 the amount
OF 3,O0O.00O miles.
Now. il so happens that at the
present time the earth is in peri
helen. or at the end OF the major
axis OF the orbit which is nearest
the sun at the beginning of Janu-
airy. and at the more distant end,
or IN apheliOn. al the beginning OF
July. from which il follows that the
distance Of the earth from the sun is
100000 miles less in midwinter
than i'm midsummer, as the seasons
20 in the northern hemisphere, while
exactly the opposite state OF things
exists with regard 10 the seasons OF
the southern hemisphere. where
midsummer comes in January and
midwinter in July
The reason for this opposition in
the seasons Of the two hemisphere
is that the axis around which the
earth rotates once every day is not
upright 10 the plane OF the orbit
around the sun, but inclined about
231-s degrees from a perpendicular
10 that plane while the direction in
which the axis inclines is such that
its north end, or pole, is tipped to-
! ward the present direction OF tbs
