Evening star., 1926-03-21
By W. BOYCE MORGAN.

Three months ago the sun, after
swinging southwark for six months
In it's yearly journey, reached the
most distant point in its cycle, and
again began to move toward the
north. Now the halfway point on
its return trip has been reached. and
we call this point the Vernal or Spring
equinox.
OF course, the scientists would tell
YOU that the sun really does not
move at all. That great ball of fire
from which comes all the earths
heat and light rests stationary in the
midst of all the solar system, while
the planets, including our earth, move
around it. The earth's path around
the sun is in the form of q huge
ellipSe, or oval.
Now. as the earth moves about the
sun only salf of it can receive light
at one tiL,-. However. besides the
movement around the sun, the earth,
as you know, also rotates OH its axis,
which causes us TO have day and
night. When our side of the world Is
exposed to the sun it is day, and when
our side moves around into the shadow
it IS night.
If the axis of the earth, on which
1t rotates. We're exactly vertical. all
our days and nights would be of the
same length, You remember that a
few months ago we had daylight only
for about eight hours day. Since
then the days have gradually be-
come longer, and you know that
next Summer it will be daylight for
almost 16 hours of the day. This
change III the length of the day IS
Evening star., 1926-03-21

caused by the fact that the axis of the
earth Is tipped. and as the earth moves
around the sun the rays of the sun
strike it at different angles.
Thus In Midsummer the rays
come from almost directly overhead,
and the weather Is hot. In December
and January the rays come from a
great angle, and are therefore not as
powerful. That is the reason that 1t
is so cold in Winter.
In March and in October the earth
is in such a position in relation to the
sun that we receive light for just half
of the "a hours. Scientists call these
times the Spring equinox and the Au-
tumn equinox. Equinox" comes
from two Latin words meaning equal
and night. The Spring equinox oc-
ours about the 21st Of March,
and is supposed to mark the begin
ming of Spring. From now on the
days will get longer and warmer, until
In June and July the longest, hot
test days Of the year will come.
March, the month of the Spring
equinox, is the stormieSt, most
blustery month of the year. The old
Romans named this month March
after Mars, the god of war. because
it was symbolic to strife and conflict.
Mars was the son of Jupiter and June.
and always dressed in u fine coat of
armor and a plumed helmet, and
carried a wicked spear. Bellona was
the goddess of war, and drove Mars
chariot when he went into battle.
There is an interesting legend about
Mars. He fell in love with lila, one
Of the followers of Vesta. the goddess
Of fire. They were married and had
twin sons, Romulus and Renlus. The
