GARRETT P. SERVISS ON
COPERNICUS' PROOF
The Case of Copernicus Is In Some Respects
Much Like That of Columbus.

; Now, how to explain these back
ward and forward and apparent
ly contradictory motions? The
ancient astronomers, starting
with the assumption that tie
sun and all the other bodies re-
volved around the earth, had TO
account for the curious apparent
motions of Venus and the other
planets. as well, by an exceed
ingly complicated system of "epi.
cycles" which there is not room
here to describe.
Copernicus. starting with the
opposite hypothesis, namely: That
the sun is the center of motion
for the earth as well as for all
the planets, got rid of most of the
imaginary epicycles, though he
did not get SO far as to be able
to throw them all into the dis
card, and it was only after KEEP
Ter discovered the elliptical form
of the planetary orbits that the
real proof of the truth of the
heliocen+ric system stood forth.
The curious relative motions of
the planets Jupiter and Venus
are a result of the combination
OF their actual motions IN their
orbits together with the motion
OF the earth in it's orbit. Jupiter
is five times as far from the sun
as the earth is, and, consequently,
its motion in it's orbit is relative
ly slow. Venus is millions Of
miles nearer the sun than the
earth Is, and, consequently, travels
faster. Jupiter's Orbital motion
is about eight miles per second,
the eartf1's about eighteen and
a half miles, Venus about TWEEN.

Moreover, as they travel around
the sun their directions of mo-
ton with reference to one an
other are continually changing,
just as occurs with athletes run
ming around a common center,
each III separate ring, the rings
being situated at different dis
tances from the center.
Let them also travel at different

from the center, and let the one

MS eyes on the others and he
Will behold apparent reversals OF
motion similar to what we, look

A READER asks for Copern'

trio theory.
The case of Copernicus is in
some respects much like that OF
Columbus. Columbus by his Ia
nous voyage showed the way to
:he new world, though he was not
the first to set foot on the Amerl-
can continent, and Copernicus by
his studies and his book on the
revolution of the planets crystal
IiZed the idea, which had been
suggested long before his time,
that the sun and not the earth is
the center of the solar system.
But as Columbus did not perfect
his discovery without the aid OF
contemporaries and successors, so
Copernicus left his theory in an
imperfect form, to be completed
by the genius Of Kepler and later
of Newton.
Whoever has watched and will
continue to watch during the re-
mainder of this winter, the move
ments of the planets Venus and
Jupiter will have seen for him
self an example of what puzzled
all the ancient astronomers. and
bothered Copefnicus himself to
the end of his days.
On November 26 Venus and
Jupiter were in conjunction In
the sunset heavens, and since
then, up to the time of this writ
ing lin the first half Of Deem
ber), they have continued to make
a beautiful celestial spectacle.
But their relative motions have
been and will hereafter be, very
curious.
Two days after the conjunction
in November, Venus ceased to
move eastward with reference to
the sun, while Jupiter, gradually
parting from his brilliant sister,
seemed steadily to approach the
sun. Thus they have slowly sep
arated. But after January 10,
Venus will turn on her track and
seem to pursue Jupiter sunwards.
On January IS, Jupiter will be
in conjunction with the sun,
afterward entering the morning
sky. On February 8, Venus, IN
turn, will be in conjunction with
the sun and pass into the morn
ing sky, still in apparent pursuit
of her great brother. Ten days
later, she will overtake him and
pass him in the skies of early
dawn. But they will not get
very widely apart, for ear in
March they will begin to draw
together again, and, on March %.
another conjunction will occur
between them.

Why not give few thoughts

The silent, comprehending per-

Not all quiet people do this.
There are quiet people who are
neither wise nor restful nor

The pathology of Silence is well
worth studying.
Sometimes silence cloaks fear.
Sometimes it cloaks malice.
Sometimes it cloaks stupidity.
Sometimes it cloaks an urgent,
eight cylinder desire to seize
club and sock the guy that's
holding the floor. This species Of
silence is well-known to all of us
and will win our hearty endorse
ment.
But we cannot feel as cordial
to the silence of fear, malice and
stupidity. Such silences are
tragedy to those from whom they
emanate, and constant irrita-
ton to those who have to face
them.

BUTTERING
BREAD

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ A says that when you are
eating bread at lunch or dinner
it is quite correct to lift the slice
of bread or even half slice
Whichever it may bel up in your
hand and butter it without break
ing pieces off first of all.
b says that it is not correct.
that bread should be broken off
always. b also says If one is eat
ing dry toast for breakfast, one
never cuts it with a knife or
always breaks pieces off. b also
says that asparagus is taken in
the fingers.
Will you please tell me if B is
right? MABEL.
B is correct in the first two
counts, and incorrect in the
third. l don't blame you for
putting an exclamation point
after AS contention in the first
paragraph. 1t is Incorrect and
most awkward to do as A sug-
Gests when buttering bread.
But since b eats his or her
bread either plain or toasted,
SO politely" he or she should
also be as fastidious about eating
asparagus. The asparagus should
not be taken in the fingers. Eat
it with fork and you will find
that the best way, for it is heater

observer. 1t isn't pretty TO observe
dripping stalks held in the air
precariOusly. And, as a matter
of fact, one can capture all of the
edible part of the stalk with a
not even very skilful use of fork.
