ways, affecting only objects On
the earth. 1t is continually seen
from a railroad train. when dis
tant hills appear to be accom-
panying the train in its motion,
because the lines of sight to
nearer objects in the landscape
shift backward more rapidly than
those to objects nearer the no
rizon. A whirlpool-like revolution
of the landscape seems to take
place. the center Of the whirling
motion being at any point where
the observer intently fixes his
eyes.
1t is worth remarl1ing that the
parallelism of the lines of direc.
ton to the heavenly bodies from
all parts of the earth is the
cause of the fact that from any
broad level. like the surface of
the sea, we have half of the
whole star sphere in view at one
time. The moon alone is near
enough to present a parallax
which may be noticed without the
most delicate instrumental obser-
vations.

Az for the amateur to per-
A form is to walk down
hill rapidly, fixing his eye on
some bright star. Venus, for in
stance, is a fine object to expert
ment with. The star or planet
will seem to move rapidly down,
and at the same time remain
practically stationary in the part
of the sky where It is situated.
This is a fine optical Illusion,
and / have often entertained my
friends with this experiment"
So writes Samuel Cramer in
Popular Astronomy" What he
describes is. indeed, very strik-
ing and instructive phenomenon
that many living in the country
and fond OF walking must have
noticed, but the explanation,
which Mr.. Cramer does not give,
although of course he knows
what it is, is as interesting as
the phenomenon itself. 1t is one
of those things Nnich are most
clearly perceived with the aid Of
a picture or diagram. Owing to
limitation of space, our picture
is necessarily much shortened in
the horizontal dimension. but it
illustrates just as we'll the fact
that very distant object like a
The Washington times., 1924-12-13

star does not perceptibly change
in direction with change Of the
Observers place on the earth. In
other words, no ''parallax" is per-
ceived. All lines Of sight from
any part Of the earth to the star
are parallel.
To make the phenomenon more
evident in the picture have
placed a smaller hill in the fore
ground, over which the observer
descending from the higher ele-
walton on the left looks at the
star, which seems to drop step
by step with him as he goes down.
This would not be the case if the
object were near like a balloon,
placed, say. at X. in line with the
star as seen from the highest ele-
walton, for then his line Of sight to
the balloon would incline more and
upward as the line Of sight to the
balloon would seem to rise above
the star.

metrical relations are self-evident
when explained, yet they are con,
tinually overlooked by those whose
