is the inclination of the poles
of the various planets to the
ecliptic, and whether they all
revolve around the sun. and on
their axes. in the same direc-
ton. Also the moons of Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune-in what direction do
these move?-B. O.. Philadel-
phia."
THE ecliptio marks the plane
Il in space in, or upon, which
the earth travels around the sun.
1t might be likened to an invisible
floor on which the earth circles,
like a skater skiming round and
round a central point on the level
platform of rink.
Now, the other planets, though
all having the same central point
(the SUM travel round it on diff
ferent invisible floors. or planes,
each more or less inclined to the
earth's. So the great solar rink
may be said to have multiplicity
of floors, tipped in slightly diff
ferent planes. but al intersect-
ing along lines passing through
their common center. Every
floor is used by a single planet,
but the planets never get into
collision because each travels at
a different distance from the
center. so that their paths Orbits
never meet.
AS they go round the sun In
their respective planes. they also
spin on their axes and the axes
are all more or less inclined
from perpendicular to the
planes, like the pegs of tops lean
ing at various angles to the floor
on which they run about.
So we see that theye are two
inclinations to be taken into ac-
count First, there is the inclina-
ton of the plane of the orbit OF
each planet to the plane of the
earth'S orbit, /. e., to the ecliptic;
and second, there is the inclina-
ton of the axis of each planet to
the plane of it's own orbit.
Take first the inclination OF
the orbit to the ecliptic. In the
case of the earth this is zero,
because the ecliptic is Only The
projection of the plane of the
earth's orbit. And, living on the
earth, we naturally, or necessarily,
take the ecliptic as fundamental
plane by which to measure the
inclination of the orbits of all the
other planets.
1t is known, howevre, by nath-
ematical reasoning that there ex-
lists a fundamental plane, called
the 'invariable plane" of the
solar system, to which the planes
of all the orbits, including the
earth's should be referred; but
this is not currently used, its
position not having, as yet, been
absolutely determined.

Then suddenly one morning we
woke up with sickening shock,

the strangest thing was that she
didn't seem to be able to ex-

she want more money? NO, SHE

II AM sure that this gentleman
did not mean to be disrespect-
full, but, since you and his fiancee
were such very close friends, he
probably heard a great deal about
you and naturally by your first
name. Evidently, too, he was a
cordial, informal person, and
thought that his fiancee's best
friend would give him the honor
of Immediately starting an in
formal friendship. For you to
call him Doctor Hail. would
seem to me to be very far-fetched
and not very cordial. With such
a pleasant relationship as you all
have, 1 suggest that you and your
husband call both of these friends
by their first names. And, by
the way, the use of. doctor
without the last name-is never
in good taste. Your doctor or any
