similarly at its greatest western elon-
cation July IS. On July 4 the earth
is at the point of its orbit farthest
from the sun. At this time the earth
is about 100000 miles further from
the sun than in January. In order to
show the nature of the earth's motion
the orbit of the earth is usually rep
resented as an ellipse in which the
flattening is much exaggerated. The
real orbit of the earth is so nearly a
true circle that II accurately repre-
sented in a figure very minute eX-
animation would be necessary to show
the departure from a true circle. The
boundary of the map in Figure 1 is

were represented by this circle the

about one thousandth of an inch.
