GARRETTP. SERVISS EXPLAINS
TIPPED ORBITS OF PLANETS
Iikens Earth's Travel to Skater on Circular Rink

clinations of the other orbital
planes are closely as follows:
Mercury. deg; Venus. 8 deg.
90 min; Mars, deg. 81 min;
Jupiter. l deg, Is min.; Saturn,
2 deg. 20 min.; Uranus, 0 deg. As
min; Neptune, l deg. 8 min.
From this we see that the orbit
of Urnaus. next to the most dis
tant plane. is the nearest in ac-
cord with the plane of the earth's
orbit. IT, may be remarked that
the best calculation of the posi-
ton of the invariable plane,
spoken of above, makes its in
clination to the ecliptic / deg. 35
min., which lies between the in
clinations of Jupiter and Saturn,
the two heaviest planets, and is
not greatly discordant with that
of Neptune. the most distant
plane.
Next we come to the inclina-
ton of the planetary axes from a
perpendicular to the planes of the
orbits. Here the differences are
far greater than in the case of
the orbital inclinations. The
earth's axis is inclined % degrees,
q minutes; that of Mars, "a de-
grees, SO minutes; that of Saturn,
26 degrees, 40 minutes. But the
axis Of Venus seems to be nearly,
If not quite, perpendicular to the
orbital plane, j. e., 1t has no in
clination. while the inclinations of
the axis of Mercury, Uranus, and
Neptune, If any exists, are un-
certain or unknown. That Of
Jupiter's axis Is also small,
amounting to only 3 degrees,
minutes-less than one-eightn as
great as the inclination CT
Saturn's axis. 1t is singular that
the axes of the two largest
inclination while their orbital IN
clinations are so similar.
But. although the inclination
of the axes of Uranus and Nep-
tune is unknown, their satellites
travel in planes which are so
inclined to the ecliptic that the
four moons Of Uranus revolve at
almost right angle to the plane
of the earth's orbit, the inclina-
ton being 81 degrees, 85 minutes,
while the single moon of Nep-
tune actually travels in a back
ward direction, the inclination Of
it's orbit being 1873 degrees,
minutes, or 48 degrees, more than
a right angle.
All the planets travel in the
same direction around the sun
west to east, but the two most
distant of Jupiter's moons, the
eighth and ninth, travel back
ward, as does the ninth moon of
Saturn, whose interesting name
is Phoebe.

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON.
BY Helen Rowland.
Signs of a Cynic.

A LAS, alas, with the Cynic.
N What surety of joy hath q
man in a world full of surprises
and uncertainties?
For, 10, he dodgeth a trolley
Car and falleth under a taxicab;
he avoideth Jail and lambeth in
wedlock; he escapeth hanging and
dieth of ptomaine poisoning.
If he kisseth the damael his
heart desireth, behold, he may
find himself entangled in mar
riagc with another!
II he is a gay dog and heart
breaker at twenty, he runneth the
danger of becoming a cynic a:
forty; and If he is sober and wise
beyond his years, at twenty, he
faceth the certainty of becoming
a flirtatious old fool at fifty.
If he taketh bis joys and the
sweetness of life in the days of
his youth, he suffereth from re-
morse and dyspepsia when he IS
old; and If he resisteth the follies
and temptations. of youth, he
suffereth from regret for his lost
opportunities when he is old.
If he weddeth, he misseth hts
freedom and independence, even
while he rejoiceth in mended
socks and feminine comma MON
ship
And II he doth NOT wed, he
m.sseth a woman's love and cod
ding and cOmpanionship-ev
though he escape all the trials
and sufferings that go Herewith.
If he taketh thought for his
clothes and arrayeth himself as
the glass of fashion, he is scorn-
ed as a fop and a sheik-yet If
he skimpeth his shavings' and
Weareth his last years hat, he is
scorned as q tramp and an out
cast.
If he cleaveth unto one woman
for life, he must continually battle
for his liberty and his rights; yet
If he divorceth his wife, he shall
but marry another and go into
training" all over again.
If he waiteth to gain riches
and store up wisdom before he
marryeth, he may never know
the thrills of young love in a
cottage. Yet if he marryeth
while he is still full of youth and
poverty, he shall dwell all his
lie with his nose to the grind
stone.
II his friends be but few, he
shall know the sorrow of iOneli-
ness all his days; and If his
friends be many. he shall per-
adventure know the WEAKNESS Of
boredom all his days.
Alas, what surety of joy hath
a man in a world full of sur
prises and uncertainties. For,
verify, verify, his life is but a
leap in the dark. And, which
soeVer way he leapeth, he IS
bound to MISS that which he
deSlreth.
