june 90 last. This shows that the surplus on July
last for the twoyear period $4Soooss The total
revenues of the government during the period
amounted to $II9II,7Io and the budget to $7243274.
The larger part of the amount on hand will be
applied to the extensive road building program which
Panama has inaugurated and which already is under
way Plans and for the greater part Of this
highway Improvement have been completed and some
actual road construction is in progress The roads

SEEK NEW ENERGY

7 7 Sc of the suns ray, of atomic energy, or
~ the force of wind water, of
growing vegetation, must be the next achievement
of science for human welfare and industrial prog
in the view Of Dr. Arthur D. Little, Of Boston,
chemical engineer and technologist, who addressed
the American Chemical Society recently on "Ener-
gy, its Sources and Future Possibilities"
Uncertainties of supplies Of coal and petroleum
and rising costs, he said, make imperative new
sources Of energy. Here some of the sources
on which the world may draw:
Radiant energy from the SUM- The Sahara
Desert receives daily and let's 60 waste solar
ergy equivalent to 6ooo,ooo,ooo tons of coal
Energy of the wind and of the waves are too
uncertain and diAuse to justify extensive expoita-
ton. In few favorable locations it is feasible to
utilize fraction of the energy of the tides, at
ST. Malo, France, and the Severn, England, where
the tide movements are mcommonly strong.
Energy of radum and of the disintegration of
the atom of all substances.
Study of the various sources has convinced DR..
Little energy is comparable with that Of the
sun, and scientific effort should be directed learn
how it be utilized for light heat and power. It
has been asserted he said that the earth receives
only Iso-milionth part Of the radiant energy
of the sun, but even so, calculations have been
made that the earth receives, a surface of TO-
900 square klometers assuming only six hours
an effective day, a quantity of heat that corre-
spends to that produced by burning a6so,ooo.ooo
tons Of coal.
OF the portion of solar energy received by the
earth, Dr. Little said, only about sooth part is
stored up by plants, but that heat has been ealcu-
lated to produce 3a,oooooo,ooo tons of vegetable
matter which, If burned, would develop quantity
of heat equal to that derived from the combustion
of I,oooooo,ooo tons Of. coal.
Radio active elements, the speaker said, lose
spontaneously much of the energy with which they
have brought scientific recognition of stores of
ergy concealed in matter which mmeasurably
greater than those derived from chemical reactions

Moving With Sun
PROBLEM EXPLAINED SIMPLY

find that II IL about 1880 miles,
so that your speed would have to
be only about ITO miles per hour
in order to 20 around In twenty.
four hours.
But now with regard to the A.
sumption that II the traveller
moved westward Just a. fast A.
the earth turned eastward he
would keep exact step with the
sun, SO that II he started with the
sun on the noon line he would
have perpetual noon. as long ~ he
Kept on travelling at that rate.
This would be true II the earth
simply rotated on its axis and did
not, at the same time revolve
around the sun. But the result
the sun 10 that the sun appears to
have slow motion eastward
through the sky, amounting to near
ly one degree per day.
To see the effect Of this. let
us suppose that We start keeping
an account Of the earth's rotA-
ton exactly at noon, when the
sun, of course, is on the meridian.
Then, when the earth has made
just one complete turn on its axis,
bringing the meridian Of our place
of observation back to the same
absolute position that It occupied
at the start, the sun will be one
degree east Of It, or east OF the
noon line, and the earth Win have
to turn one degree farther. making
one degree moro than q complete
rotation on its axis, in order to
bring the sun again on the mert-
dian.
To turn this additional distance
requires about four minutes. Now.
this does not affect us In daily
life because We set our clocks and
regulate our ordinary affairs BY
the apparent motion OF the sun.
but II is evident that II we under
took to keep the sun always on
the meridian by travelling west
ward, carrying our meridian with
us at exactly the same rate that
the earth rotates eastward, We
should be going q little too fast.
because the eastward motion OF
the sun, described above, would
cause him apparently to advance
about one degree per day to meet
us as We moved westward over the
earth.
The result would Be that instead
of keeping always under the sun.
we should find at the end Of the
first rotation, or first twenty-four
sidereal hours, that he was al
most one degree east Of our inert
dian, and, at the end Of two rota
lions nearly two degrees east. and
so on until In a few months ne
would sink below the horizon and
we should be travelling in the
night instead Of in perpetual day

FASCINATING PROB
BY Garrett p. Serviss

EfTTOW fast would you have to
travel around the earth
east to west In q flying

the daylight?-A. H. T.. Medford.
Mass"
TyHIS apparently very simple
question involves several things
not commonly thought Of. and
an answer to 1t may teach some
facts relating to astronomy that
many persons would not take the
trouble to learn in a more formal
way
Tho obvious answer, of course, is
that you would have to go Just as
inst az the sun 30 as always to keep
In its light. And, since the appar-
eut daily westward motion of the
sun through the sky is only visual
resultant of the real eastward mo-
tom of the earth's surface as 1t
turns on its axis, 1t may also seem
obvious that you would have to go
Just as fast as the earth rotates.
But this last statement would be
erroneous. 1t is the suns angular
motion that you would have to keep
step with.
Before explaining this, let us con-
s1der what was probably in the mind
OF the Questioner, viz, the speed In
miles per hour that would be re-
Quired in order that a traveller on or
near the earth's surface could keep
up with the sun. This would depend
upon the distance from the equator.
Tho angular velocity would be the
same everywhere on the earth, but
the linear velocity on the earth's
surface would be greatest at the
equator and would decrease with
increase Of distance from the equa-
tor until 1t became zero at the
poles. It would be determined by
the distance around the earth along
the parallel of latitude on which
the Journey was made.
At the equator this distance
would be about $4,000 miles, and to
traverse 1t in twenty-four hours one
would have to go 1,037.5 miles per
hour. But the circumference OF the
earth, measured along a parallel Of
latitude, is proportional to the
ooains Of the angle representing the
ATTITUDE. Suppose the latitude is
- degrees.
