But at the beginning of the year
it had been no less than 1886
minutes, corresponding to a dis
lance of 1873, 461 900. BY the end
of December Mars will have re-

at its nearest approach in June

was almost entirely due to the
fact that between January and
June the earth moved from a DO.
sition on the opposite side Of the
sun from Jupiter, to a position
on the same side with him, so
that it was nearer to him by the
whole diameter of it's orbit.

ty-five times as far as from the
earth to the moon. The waves of
sunlight reflected from the moons
barren surface take not much
more than one second and a quar-.
ter to reach us. From the sun
their journey takes about eight
and one-third minutes.
The velocity of sound IN the
air is subject to too many varia-
tions with change of temperature,
density, ETC., to furnish an accu-
rate, measure of distance on earth.
Still when better means are lack
ing, it may be employed for
rough estimates.
It's average speed may be put
at 1885 feet per second, or in
round numbers, a mile Ia five
seconds. During the war, impor.
tant use was made of sound
waves in the atmosphere to ascer.
tain the distance of the enemy'a
guns, etc. They are similarly
useful in times Of peace, and
might be more often employed.
The Washington times., 1924-09-17

TF an aeroplane could travel
with perfect uniformity Of
II speed, the best way to meas
ure the distance between New
York and San Francisco, or New
York and London, would be by
the time of the flight between
them. That would be applying,
with modern scientific improve
ments, the old method of the
Indians, who reckoned distances
by the time of their runners
needed to pass over them.
Recently we have seen the
same principle applied in meas
uring the sea depths by the time
required for a reflected sound
wave to return from the bottom.
More imposing to the imagination
is the use Of this method in con-
nection with the waves of Light
passing from sun to planet, from
distant stars to the earth. This
furnishes an excellent check on
the correctness of measures made
in other ways.
It may not be generally known
that astronomers use Tight time"
to record the distances of not
only the far-off stars, whose re-
moteness is reckoned in light
years." but also of some OF the
planets, particularly Mars and
Jupiter, whose distance from the
earth is continually varying.
The standard time unit of dis
lance for the stars is the light
year, or the distance that a wave
Of light travels in space in the
course of one year. This is found
by multiplying the number Of
seconds in a year by 10000, the
number miles that the light.
wave goes in one second.
But the planets are compare
lively so near that the light-year
is by far too large a standard
to use in reckoning their dis.
tances. Even a light-day would
be too long, and the light-minute
is employed instead. This cor
responds to only 11,17S,000 miles,
instead of the 5,S79,180 900, 600
miles represented by the light
year.
