Atoms are far below the limit OF
human vision. yet we are able TO
determine their probable size by in
direct means and similarly, we can
infer the distance OF stars that are
too remote 10 show a parallax.
II is interesting 10 reflect that If
the earth did not travel in a large
orbit around the sun no star would
show perceptible parallaX and we
should be ignorant OF the real di-
mansions Of the universe. In this
respect some Of the other planets
would offer better and some worse
points Of observation than the
earth. Mercury, for instance, the
diameter Of whose orbit is only
72.OOO.OOO miles Chat Of the earth
being 1S6.0OO,OOO). would be a poor
place for the parallax measure,
while Neptune. with an orbit 8
5SS.O 900 miles in diameter. would
give him a base so long that he
could probably sound the profound
est depths OF the visible universe.
There is an interesting method
OF determining the distance or
stars without the use OF a base
line. e.. without knowing their
parallax. This method is applica-
BILE however. only TO certain binary
stars. e.. double stars in revolu-
ton around their common center Of
gravity. When. as happens in a
few cases. such stars can be OBJ
served both usually and spectre
graphically, their distance can be
deduced in the following way as
outlined by A. :. Eddington.
From the visual observations
the period and the other elements
of the orbit can be found. The d.
mansions. however. are all eX
pressed in arc. e., in linear meas
ure divided by the unknown dis
lance OF the star From these ele-
ments we can calculate. for any
date. the relative velocity in the
line Of sight Of the two compo-
nents. but this will also be eX-
pressed as linear velocity divided
bv the unknown distance. But by
comparing this result with the
same relative velocity measured
spectrographically. and therefore
directly in linear measure. the dis
tauce Of the system can be de-
rived"
To illustrate, the principle under

How is the distance of a fixed
star from the earth measured? II
it is on the principle of triangles.
can the diameter of the earth's or
bit be taken for the base? If so, ]
cannot conceive how any greater
distance than about twelve times
this diameter can be measured
Edward Kelly, Chicago.
1t is done. as you say. ION the
principle of triangle" i. e. trignom-
etry, but you enormously under
estimate the distance that can be
measured in that way Twelve
times the diameter OF the earth's
orbit would be about 2.2OO,O0O,0OO
miles. which is 100000 miles
less than the distance of the planet
Neptune from the sun. The paral-
Tactic angle corresponding to a dis
lance twelve times the length Of
the base would be about 4% de-
grees or more than eight times
the apparent diameter Of the full
moon.
Now. it is possible for the most
experienced observers. with the best
instruments to measure with fair
degree Of approximation parallaxes
OF only 1-2Oth OF a second Of arc
Of 1-72.OOOth Of "A degree in which
case the object must be at a dis
lance equal to about 4.125,O00 times
the length OF the base line.
This would show that the star
was about 3SO,OOO,OOO.OOO,OOO miles
away, which is quite a small dis
lance for a star, the fact being that
the vast majority OF the stars are
apparently so remote that their
paraHaxes drop far below the range
Of measurement.

WILSON'S
PEN IS
WEAPON

ROME. Feb. 15.-(By mail)-
President Wilson's pen is doing
more for the cause of just and
popular peace than 20,OOO.0OO
swords. Vatican authorities and
the holy father himself candidly
express this opinion.
The presidents periodical ad-
dresses to humanity and not the
years are regarded as the mile
posts by which history will meas
ure the wars length.
Like countless other observers,
the pope sees that the warning
peoples need political light and
guidance. So Wilson's demo
cratic sermons to the world" ad-
mittedly find a sympathetic and
applauding audience in the white
robed figure of the vatican.
Foreign nuncios all make sub
stantially the same report to the
holy see-President Wilson's Gin
reality not only feels the popular
pulse. but touches the popular
heart"
The pope, altho a noble by
birth, apparently is a law and
order Catholic socialist" in his
own political philosophy. He is
said to have under preparation a
series Of encyclicals and addresses
on labor and social subjects for
publication at the wars end.
His holiness still is hopeful that
arms will be stacked before the
summers end. He sees peace al
ready approaching.
