be "a. 43O. 900 miles. Thus we are
1890, 900 miles nearer in January
than in July.
5. The earth's axis. there is but
one axis does not change its d.
rection with reference to outer
space. but it has been found that
there is "wabbling" of the earth,
which produces very slight,
continual shifting of the position
of the axis inside the globe. This
can only be detected by the most
refined observations on the stars.
The mathematical point Of the
North Pole turns yearly around
mean position taken as center and
from which it never departs more
than about 80 feet measured on
the earth's surface.
The surprise which many per-
sons express when told that the
earth is nearer the sun in winter
than in summer is diminished
when they are also informed that
this statement applies only to the
Northern Hemisphere. South Of
the equator summer occurs when
it is winter on our side, and win
ter there when it is summer here.
Consequently in South America,
South Africa, Australia and other
countries south of the equator 1t
is winter in July and summer in
January, so that they have their
hot days when the earth is near
est the sun and their cold days
when it is farthest from the sun.
Seems Like Contradiction
1t seems like contradiction in
nature that the same. thing does
not occur in our hemisphere: but
the explanation is easy. The axis
of the earth, which. | have Just
said, remains pointing in the same
direction In space at all times Of
the year, happens to be so direct
ed that as the earth goes arounl
the sun the north pole OF the axis
leans toward the sun in July and
away from the sun in January
This causes the suns rays to
fall upon our hemisphere at a
high angle in July land the neigh
boring months) and at a low
angle in January land the neigh
boring mOntnSD And this Differ
ence in the angle of incidence of
the suns rays has far more ef-
feet upon the temperature than
does the actual change of dis
lance from the sun.
There is a simple way in which
YOU can observe this effect. Hold
your hand in front of an open
furnace door, with the palm
square to the direction of the
door and at a distance of two
or three or more feet from it.
Then, without changing the mean
distance of the hand, turn it so
that the palm is placed at an
angle of As degrees or more to
the direction of the furnace. You
will not fail to notice Q great
decrease of temperature.

The only correct way to an

visiting card is the formal, third
person acknowledgment. That is
the answer should be written as
formally as the answer to an en-

days of many visiting card- invita-

thing to know.
