Fashions change Ia wedding rings

Is the finger least used aud so the

Earth and Sun Diatanee

The distance between the earth
and sun varies from something more
than OF 10000 miles TO something
more than 94OO0,000. The mean
distance is calculated to be about
92,S00.O00. The earth Is nearest
the sun In early January. and far
thest away In early July. That
the distance has nothing TO do with
the seasons may be seen from the
fact that while Ii is winter in me

In the southern. The real reason
for the seasonal changes is the
fact that the earth's axis Is at an
angle (23la degrees) with relation
to Its path around the sun. At

northern hemisphere is tipped to-
ward the sun, Its rays fall more d.

the young man smuggled the revolver

Is no question but that society will
