tations observable from Glasgow, South
Africa, India, Australia and New Zea
land. ObServatories in other countries
also are watching OSCILLATIONS and COM
pairing them with the calculated time
published by their own almanac makers
In this way it is hoped to obtain a
great number of differences. When
these are checked for time and place
reasons why the moon seems to dout the
law Of gravity.
Actually, says Prof. Robertson, there
Is no reason to believe the moon is not
as strictly accountable to this law as
any other object in the universe, but
the astronomers simply have failed to
take account Of some element, possibly
the distribution of mass in the sum-
which affects her movements.
There are approximately SO stars
which will be hidden by the moon dur
ing the next six months over the meri-
dian Of Washington, and Prof. Robert
son has so devised his tables that exact
observations can be made by any sta
ton within 300 miles. In any event
Prof. Robertson says, great number of
such observations will make 1t possible
to calculate with much greater exact
ness the orbit of the MOON even II they
do not explain the reasons for the
variations
The mean distance from the earth to
the moon, as calculated in the 1888
American Ephemeris. just issued, Is
238,857 statute miles, while the mean
distance to the sun Is calculated at
81, 1897, 416 miles.

Astronomers are checking up" on the
moon.
Computers at the Naval Almanac
Office are engaged in the laborious cal
culation of the occultations of stars by
the earth's satellite for years in advance
for four stations in the United States.
The moon, it is explained by Prof
James Robertson, director of the Alma
nae Office. is about the most cratic of
all heavenly bodies. For some reason
unknown to the astronomers, she is
never exactly where she should be in
accordance with the most exacting
mathematical calculations of her theo-
retical orbit in accordance with the law
Of gravity. Other heavenly bodies obey
this law with great exactness.
Moon Obstructs Stars.
Now, Prof. Robertson explains, the
moon is continually getting between
some star and the earth. This Is known
as an "occultation" OF the star. The
astronomers can tell with great exact
ness where the star will be from any
position on the earth at any time. If
the moon abided strictly by known laws,
they could determine her position just
as exactly. So they could tell within a
tiny fraction of second when any par
ticular pccultation would take place.
But the moon is either early or late
She doesn't keep the dates checked up
for her by the astronomers. The pres
ent project is to observe as many oc-
cultations as possible, determine the
variations between the observed times
and the calculated times, and try to fit
these variations into some equation
which will explain the reason for the
ezra tic behavior Of the moon
Plan Two-Year Calculations.
The Naval Almanac computers have
calculated the theoretical time of all
such OCCUPATIONS for the last six months
of this year for Washington, New Eng
land, Chicago and California They
plan to calculate them for the next two
years, after which, if the problem re-
mains unsolved. they will form a part
of the annually published American
Ephemeris.
Similar calculations have been made
by the British Almanac Office for occul-
