STARS ASSIGNED PLACES IN SPACE

The earth has now reached its

iy s,6oo.0oo miles farther away than
1t wns at it's nearese approach about
the first Of the year.
Hundreds Of stars, the distances Of
which are still unknown, it IL said,

veloped methods of measuring their

This new method of star measure

Suns Distance 4 Problem.
The question Of tho suns distance
and that Of other heavenly bodies
rom u., which involves the astronom-
icaI principle Of the solar parallax
in finding the apparent position Of
these bodies In space. has long been
one OF the most interesting problems
in astronomy.
To the astronomer as we'll as the
chanfcs of the heavens which Is CAL
culated to awaken conceptions as to
the stHpendous scale on which the
heavens are constructed. and all en-
braced In what astronomers regard
the noblest problem in astronomy
the solar parallax. For the past CEN
turies. taking the semi diameter of
the earth's orbit as the standard of
measure for the universe. astronomers,
from Tycho Brahe and Gallileo to
the present time, have been studying
the question of the SUMS distance
from the consideration of its tempera-
ture, seemingly so near and yet so
far"
For hundreds of years astronomers
hoped to ascertain the suns distance,
having the occurrence of the transit
of Venus and the repeated opposition
Of Mars and eclipse phenomena as the
basis to solve the problem. and to
como to some permanent settlement
OF the statistics of our solar system,
but they failed, 80 many were the
conflicting conclusions of all the va
rious quantities upon which the suns
parallax depends.
