The little light-waves. only the

chase close on one anothers
heels, pass a given point at the
rate of thousands of millions per
second. Consequently at every
instant, and no matter where
the observer may be on the ro-
tating circumference, he constant

He sees it because there is al
ways light-wave entering his
eye which left the source long
enough ago to meet him at any
point on the circle at which he
may have arrived.
The speed of the light no
longer makes any difference as
to its visibility. An unbroken
train of waves passing across the
circumference having been once
established, no more is needed to
render the lamp, or source Of
light, continuously visible to the
circling observer. His speed may
be increased or diminished with

To compel the light to move

would have to travel directly
away from the source, instead
of travelling around it. Whether
the speed of light is actually the

These ditties describing the joys
of sailing the Mississippi in a
steamboat were popular several
years after the excitement caused
by the first Mississippi steamboat
had died down.
This was the New Orleans,
launched in 1911 by Nicholas
Roosevelt, grand-uncle of Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt. In that
year he arrived in Pittsburgh for
the purpose of introducing steam
navigation on the Ohio and Mis-.
sissippi rivers. In Pittsburgh he
built the steamboat New Orleans,
which was modelled after the his
toric Clermont, which Fulton had
launched in 1908 upon the Hud-
son. Roosevelt himself piloted
the boat on her maiden trip to
New Orleans. She started from

Interest.
Your articles have always Of
forded me meRtal exercise and
agreeable speculation. This
though has occurred to me. The
recognized speed of light is 1885,
900 miles per second. Suppose
an observer on the rim of an
enormous wheel, revolving with
a speed greater than $4,000 miles
per second. He looked toward
a lamp placed at the center or
hub of the wheel. Would the
ray of light from the lamp be
able to keep p<se or would II
lag behind, or bend much in the

observer, no matter how fast he
travelled, would it not have to

Your question helps to explain
the manner in which light is
transmitted. Let US illustrate
the situation you describe with
a diagram.
Light goes out in all directions
from it's source. When you see
a distant object by light trans
mitted from it you see 1t in the
direction exactly opposite to that
in which the light is moving as
it enters your eye. II you are
moving in a circle around the
source of light, that direction will
be radia1, /. e., straight toward
the center of the circle.
Each successive wave of light
from the source is transmitted
all around it in an advancing,
or widening circle, as shown in
the diagram. I'm fact, it is trans
mitted as a spherical shell, but
we may disregard the third di'
mension, and consider the light
as moving only in a planet
Suppose the observer on the
outer rim of the point marked /.
He is carried by the rotation in
the direction of the curved ar
rows. Now, at the instant when
he starts from the point /, let the
lamp be lighted at the center OF
