GARRETT P. SERVISS ON THE
STAGGERING MOON
Irregularities of Moons Motion Are Explained
In Detail by Scientist

; departures, from Kepler's laws!
for when the Irregularities are
smoOthed out 1t appears that the
moon does get around in an
ellipse, as the weaving track of
a drunken man may carry him
on an average straight line. But
while the point of beginning and
the point of ending are fixed by
an irresistible force, the difficult
ty lies In determining the inter
mediate points where the inebri-
ate's footsteps will coincide with
the straight line. The great per-
turbator of the moons motion
Is the sun. When the moon Is
at M" in the figure, an eclipse
of the sun is possible, but 1t will
only occur in case the moon
passes exactly between the CEN
ter of the sun and the earth, and
that happens only at certain
times. because generally the in
clination OF the moons orbit to
that OF the earth prevents the
moon from getting precisely in
line with the sun.
When the moon Ia at "M' n
is nearest the sun, and conse-
quently the pull of the sun upon
1t Is greatest. Observe that the
eafth Is then pulling just the
opposite way. When the \moon
n
farther from the sun, the pull of
the latter Is less than before:
but now the earth is pulling 1t
In direction nearly at right
angles to the suns pull. And at
every instant the forces are
changing In amount and direc-
ton.
Consider another thing. While
the moon Is going around the
earth the earth is travelling
around the sun in the larger
curve, so that by the time the
moon has moved from IN" to
M" the earth has gone from
r. to "E-2.' See if you can
work out for yourself what the
moons real path in space must
be under the play of the con.
ltDhlIS oIIId OI InS sun
and the earth. 1t will open your
eyes to some OF the easiest diff
cultles that the calculator Tor
rather the inventor of the sys-
tenn of calculation that the calcu-
lator employs) has to overcome
in trying to predict just where
the moon will be with respect to
the earth and the sun at any par
ticular second in the future.
Then consider that the moving
planets have a slight effect on
the moons motions, and that
even the Irregularities in the
shape of the earth and the moon
have to be taken into account,
and that all Of these causes Of

other side of this Age-and- Youth
question is a particularly tough
one to tackle. I think the best
way to bring this fact home will
be to tell OF something which
recently happened. 1t is . true
story.
A girl lay on . slab in the
morgue. She was a little girl,
with slender, half-formed body
and a tiny face. Her face seemed
even smaller in the white with
ering of death. All night she
had lain on that slab and no one
had come to claim her. That
seemed strange. for she was only
a child, not more than sixteen
years of age, and seemed we'll
cared for. Surely in some home
a loved daughter must be miss
ing. Yet as the hours passed no
one came near.
But just as the first weak light
of day broke through the heavy
fog a man and woman entered
the morgue. Their faces were
blurred with gSief and fear. They
walked as though they, too, were
dead and spoke slowly, with
effort. All night they had wan
dered through the streets and
parks of the city, searching,
All night they had gone
stumbling, cropping through the
fog. And now, with dawn, their
journey was at an end. In the
next room lay the object OF their
search-their daughter. There, on
a slab, broken and cold, lay all
that was left of sixteen years of
love and toll and sacrifice. There
was the vision which they had
built with their own blood, their
fire, their utmost wisdom-shat-
tered. There lay the goal of
their own youth, the hope OF
their age-wasted.
No, 1t wasn't the end of dis
graceful trail. She'd always
been a good girl, loving. obedient,
happy. But lately they'd come to
the city and there was so much
going on. Shed wanted to
take part in it. She was pretty
and popular at school. And
there'd been a boy-a nice boy
who had asked her to go for a
ride in his fathers automobile.
The mother didn't know just
what to think of that-her little
girl out riding alone with a
strange boy in an automobile.
But she hated to deny the child
any innocent pleasure. So at
last she said she might go-just
this once-since he was nice
boy and they'd be sure to be
home early.
