I'm Sept. 4, 1870, the third Re-
~ public was declared in France.
Rarely has the bubble Of power
been too suddenly pricked as in I'm
perial France Of that year.
After a series of defeats suffered
by Napoleon, in the Franco-German
war, the Corps LegiSlatif declared
the emperor and his descendants
forever excluded from the throne
and created a government OF Ma
tional defense.
France was proclaimed a repub-
lie and a period of stress and dis
order ensued. An armiStice in jan
uary. 1871, was followed by the
meeting of the first national assem-
bly, of the Third Republic at
Bordeaux.
A preliminary treaty Of peace
with Germany was signed at Yer
sailles and ratified by the assem-
bly,. France coded Alsace, together
with parts of Lorraine, to Germany
ard agreed to pay an indemnity OF
00o,000,ooo francs.
A violent outbreak of the Com
mune, who feared the assembly was
hostile to the republic, convulsed
France in the spring of 1871, but
was suppressed.
On Aug. 81, M. Theirs, who had
been elected chief of the executive
by the assembly in February, was
granted the title Of president of the
republic.

Moon Varies

IF the moons path or orbit around
Il the earth was a perfect circle,
and there were no other disturbing
influences, the moon would revolve
around the earth with uniform
speed.
But the moons orbit is a fattened
circle or ellipse. Hence the moons
speed varies because the earth's
gravitational pull varies with the
distance between the earth and the
moon.
However, there are many other
disturbing factors. The sun exercises
a gravitational pull on the moon
This pull changes with the position
of the moon in its orbit. 1t also
varies as a result of the earth's po-
sition in its orbit, for the earth also
revolves around the sun in ar
ellipSe.
Other factors which disturb til
moons motion include the fact tina
the moons orbit is inclined to til.
earth's orbit at an angle and the
fact that the earth is not a perfect
sphere, but has bulge ut the
equator,
1t was necessary for DR.. Brown 10
take all these factors into considera-
ton in working .out his equations.
The average layman would find
DR.. Browns equations so much
Greek.
But tables of the moons positions
throughout the years, worked out
on the basis of his equations, form
part of the Nautical Almanac and
are invaluable to navigators who
sometimes must use observations of
the moon to determine the position
Of their ship.

The Master Clock for the As
tronomer Is the Rotation of
the Earth on It's AriS. This
Is Assumed to Be Constant.
BY DAVID DIETZ-
scripps-Howard Science EDITOR

scripps-HoEard Science Editor
OTTAWA, Canada, Sept. 4.-"The
" man who controls the motions
of the moon,' is the title which has
been conferred facetiously upon
Professor E. w. Brown OF Yale uni
versity, president of the American
Astronomical Society which held its
annual meeting in this city.
He won this title because he
knows more about the motions OF
the moon than any other man IN
the world.
AS long ago as twenty centuries,
the astronomers of ancient Rome
discovered that the motions OF the
moon were extremely irregular. And
ever since that time, the most
famous astronomers of the world
have sought to understand these
irregularities.
The modern study of the moons
motions dates from the day Of Sir
Isaac Newton when that great
genius showed that it was gravity
which kept the moon IN It's orbit.
But no one succeeded in writing
a mathematical formula which took
into consideration all the Irregular
tiles and made it possible to fore
cast the moon with a high degree of
accuracy at any future date until
DR.. Brown tackled the problem.
The Encyclopedia Britannica,
which is not given to over enthusi-
asm, says that his work may be
regarded not only as the last word
on the subject, but as embodying
a seemingly complete and satisfac~
tory solution of prob which has
absorbed an important part Of the
energies of mathematical as
tronomers since the time of Hip
parchuS."

CHALLENGE to Islam

TINE Zionist movement, especial
Il ly as supported by the Chris
ton world, is one of the most ro-
mantle adventures ever conceived
by humanity. 1t is not an adventure
without risk, however, or one that
can be consurnmated by the simple
expedient of academic approval.
1t represents little less than a
challenge to Islam-a challenge
which penetrates to the very bowels
of racial and religious sentiment and
which cannot be made good by a
year, or perhaps a century Of tri-
umph.

speaks not only as man possessed
of vast religious influence, but as
one familiar with a situation which
we westerners know little about.
On this side of the Atlantic it
seems a comparatively easy matter
to establish a homeland for the
Jews in Palestine, even if a half
million Arabs have to be coWed into

only that, but it seems an entirely
just thing to do, regardless of all we
have said concerning national and

Rev. Macintosh Delivers
Aspiring Address to Civ
ic Organization

There has been a wonderful
change IN the spirit OF nations and
in the feelings Of all people toward
their fellow beings in the years since
tn close of the war. Rev. r. o.
Macintosh Of the Church of the
Advent, told the Kiwanis club in an
inspiring address at the weekly
luncheon Thursday noon.
Fifteen years ago the war was
the big thing. glory was sought.
bands we're playing leading men to
war, flags were waving" Mackin-
tosh told his hearers in the special
Memorial day address. The world
was full of hatred for the enemy,
men were running bayonets into the
bodies Of their fellowmen. bodies
made In the image of God. Even
prisoners were unsafe. SO strong was
the hatred drilled into the soldiers
Rev. Macintosh told some pitiful
cases witnessed by him as a chap
lain who served in the front line
trenches.
But the Is years have passed and
brought about a great unconscious
change in the thought Of mana
remembrance of the horrors Of war
and a revuls.on against killing fell
low human beings" the former
chaplain continued. In fact. IL has
brought about a new epoch-an
epoch Of brotherly love.
Not alone did the war bring
pain to the mothers or to the men
who made the armies OF the ma
tons. but IL was the very essence Of
pain TO the world-and Memorial
day should be a day or rejoicing in
the thought that all that has passed
away.
1T is not the emblem OF a ma
ton that makes a man. but the
relation between man and God"
Christians observe Good Friday
not for the crucifixation. but for
the good example and the lesson.
Rev. Macintosh said. The Jews
observe the passover for a sim lar
reason and all of us observe Memo
rial day in remembrance Of some
departed parent, brother. sister. rel
alive or friend. he said.

Which Railroads and
Shippers Cooperate

ments out on a basis of such higher
weights.
Friction With Shippers
Needless to say. this caused a
great deal of friction and charges
Of discrimination in that 1t was
alleged that the inspectors were on
certain shippers platforms continu-
ously. while other shippers were
not checked at all. The result was
that although the weights OF the
containers Of the different shippers
might weigh exactly the same. one
was permitted to ship out on basis
Of the estimated weights shown in
the circular while the other was
obliged TO make shipments on basis
OF the weights determined by the
inspector. and these weights might
vary from day TO day or week to
week. It was also charged that GER
tain shippers we're not checked be-
aus the inspector was on that
particular shippers paw roll. We
know Of n instance where the in
spector was forcibly elected from
the shippers platform and his
scales followed him.
II was with this feeling existing
between the carriers. shippers. and
the weighing and inspection bu-
reau that we undertook to see what
could be done to bring order out
Of chaos.
In the meantime the carriers had
filed a tariff establishing certain
penalty estimated weights to be ap-
piled on shipments made by ship
pers who had denied inspectors of
the weighing bureau access to their
platforms 70 test weight their ship
ments. This tariff was suspended
by the commission upon protest.
