A star would give more ac-

sun, because the latter although
immensely distant Is still not 30
far but that, for very precise
work, its paraIax would have
to be taken into account. About
the year 1928, q French physician,
Jean Fernel, applied this method
and found that Amiens was one
degree north Of Paris. He then
set out on q remarkable Journey
In his carriage-it may have
been the one he used for visiting
his patients. Before starting to
drive with it from Paris to
Amiens, he carefully measured
the circumference of one Of the
wheels. Then he kept count Of
the number of turns that the
wheel made during the whole
journey. 1 think he had q COM
panion to drive the horse while
he kept his eyes on the wheel.
The number Of turns multiplied
by the circumference OF the
wheel showed, OF course, the dis.
lance between the two cities, and
since that distance was one de-
gree in angular measurement it
must be 1-36Oth of the entire cir
conference Of the earth. 80
Fernel had only to multiply the
measured distance from Paris to
Amiens by $50 to know the size
of the earth.
That was surely a drive to be
remembered in history. The
roads could not have been very
good; they were probably dam
gerous on account of brigands;
the route was not perfectly
straight, and the effect Of its
turnings had to be allowed for;
while in those days philosophers
were under suspicion OF being
more or less in league with Sar

poorly informed quarters even
today.

See the picture. At Syene the
