74tf to be laLeii up in a newspaper article, they are mote complex than the oilier. I hough the principles employed are as simple and as easily understood. It would naturally be thought that, as the pUi ets are no much nearer to thnn the lUed atars as i lie called our nelghbo-a, the work of meiuuring their ditMice would involve far coin plication than the other, hranting this, it ought to be said that, in the measurement of the distances of the planets, the closest exactness may be obtuined, while only approximate results may be had in measuring the distances of the ilxed stars. A a matter of 'act, the Ilxed stars are go far away that the distances of only a very few of them can be taken. The lixed star known as (Jl Cygni, though considered to be one of the nearest, is so far away that light, which travels, approximately, miles a second, requires seven years and three months to reach us from that distant orb.

A train trav eling at the rate of 1,000 miles a day, would require years to pass over the line. When the relative distunces of the planets are found, the next thing is to determine their actual distances. First, the distance from the earth to the sun is calculated. This is done at the times of the transits of Venus, the second in ferior planet from the sun. These tran sits take place in pairs at an interval of eight Jeiirs, and the pairs are separ ated by more than ICOyeirs The last transit took place in December, 18S2, and the first of the next pair will take place in the latter part of this century, Astronomers make the fullest preparations for taking observations at these times, the purpose being to verify the results of former observations and to correct any mistakes that may have made been in tne measurement of the earth's distance from the sun.

The method is simple in principle, but it is somewhat practically complicated on account of their b- ing a number of particulars which must be carefully included. The principles, that when -two lines cross each other at a common point the vertical angles are equal, and that aj points on either side of the intersection the distances between the lines are proportionate to the distances from the point of intersection, are primarily employed in this problem; and when by this method the distance of the earth from the sun is found, in miles, the distances of the other seven planets of the solar system may be cal-cu'ated as a simple problem in multiplication. As to the matter of determining the mass or weight of the planets, tne methods employed have to do'vvith the principles of gravity. The investigations of Sir Isaac Newton gave rise to the efforts that have since been carried on for the purpose of finding the relative amount of influence of the planets and the sun, the mass and influence of the earth being taken as the unit of measurement. Many long and intricate calculations have been made, and the conclusions to which astronomers have come have generally been found practically the same.

Lastly, it ought not to be doubted I 'that astronomers can calculate the dis tances and the size of the heavenly bodies, since, without' a knowledge-, of these things, it would be absolutely impossible to calculate the eclipses of the sun, the eclipses of the moon, the transits of Mercury and Venus and the occultations of the other planets and of the stars. It is known that such calculations are made, and that they are made with the most minute exactness, as shown in the fact that the eclipses foretold never fail to occur just as predicted. N. T.

Sarah M. Robinson. I asked my mother, when she was old, To whom the world seemed harsh and cold, "Pray tell me, oh thou blessed in years, What are thy hopes, what are fears?" With folded hands and head bent low-She answer made, in accents slow: "For me remains but one request It is that Gi cl may give me rest." Sarah M. Ilobinson. the subject of this sketch, wss born in the beautiful village of Panton, Addison county, Vermont.

January 5, 1S31. At the age of IS she married Francis W. Uobinson, Ticonderogo, N. January 7, 1849, and departed this life about 3 o'clock a. m.

Friday, July 26, 1901., She was the mother of seven children, three of whom died in infancy. Four are living to mourn the loss of a dear kind mother and care for an aged father who is ncarjng his four score years two boys and two girls, Quincy John F. Kosa and Ida M. Sister Ilobinson has been a sufferei for a number of years. Once and again the shadow of death has been upon her.

But in the midst of all her affliction she maintained a spirit lhat was cheerful, a courage undaunted and a faith unshaken. Her last severe attack lasted about four weeks. She knew that the end was nigh, and often spoke of it, and spoke of departed, friends as being present who had passed away many long years ago. She heard a voice we could not hear, Which said she could not stay She saw a hand we could not see. Which beckoned her away Vitals Questions What does the doctor prescribe?

Isn't it a fact that vou have seen Dr. Caldwell'g Syrup Pepsin advertised several limes and have i to try it? An i nc: Iiit of have expressed doubt as to tin; ability of astronomer to deter mine the distances and the sizes of the planets and si them have snid that they would like to have an idea as to tne methods employed in determining such fuels The fonts of type ordinarily used in a newritr office not contain the characters needed in mtiking el- ar a matter here such exaetne miit be obtained; Mid. about all that can be caid or done into give an outline description of such methods; and it will not be even in this, to bring the mutter within the grasp of every reader, for the reason that, in order to understand the methods, one must have at leust a fair knowledge of th elements of mathematics, lie must kuow that a circle, of whatever size, contains 3il) degrees, which maybe divided into minutes and seconds; that all the angles of any plain triangle are Kjiiul to lhO df threes th-it when two lines cress each other at a point the verticle angles are equal, nml that at points on either side of the in-tei section the distances between the lines are proportionate to thediitanee from the point of intersection; that when iiny side of a triangle is rod need the exterior angle so forme I is equal to the sum of the posite interior angles and he ought to understand, at least in a general way, some of lie formulas laid down in geometry and in igoi.ometry.

A ger.ernl knowledge of what I have indicated may becained will, out any very re.it effort. It is no untisioil thing for surveyor to. find it nec.ssiryti determine the distance from a given standpoint to some other point, made inaccessible by home barrier which lies between them. No one ought to doubt the nbility of the surveyor to perform such a task. In fact, the school boy who has guined the ability to solve problems in nimple proportion is able to master a problem of this kind.

The school boy would solve it in this way: He would lay oil two base lines and from each end of the longer he would draw a line through the endtof the shorter and in the direction of the inaccessible point, the base-lines being parallel and their lengths known, as well as the distance between them. Now he can easily measure the amount of convergance of the lines at the ends of the base-lines, and from this he can as easily lay put his statement in proportion and determine the length of the line from the inncessible point perpendicular to the base-lines. If one of the end lines is perpendicular to the base-lines he will have but a single problem to perform, and when it is done he will know the exact distance frboi his standpoint to the inaccessible point. Whit may be called the base line method, as described in the preceding paragraph, is not used in measuring the distances join the earth to the planets; but It is used in measuring the distances of the nearest lixtd stars, with the modification in the method, that only one base-line is used. The diameter of the earth's orbit, which is 190,000,000 miles, is used as such line, and the problem is worked through the employment of the principles of trigonometry instead of being solved by proportion.

The fixed star whose distance is to be determined is viewed through the telescope at a time when a favorable observation may be had, and its exact direction is marked with reference to the plane of the earth's orbit. months after this tune, when the earth lias made half its circuit about the sun, a similar observation is maile, and the star's direction is marked. The difference of the two directions is the angle at the apex of the triangle. Tiie quantity of the other two angles is determined at the time of the observations. The astronomer then has a great triangle, the base of which and all its angles are known.

To determine the sides of ho triangle and its perpendicular to the plane of the earth's orbit is a simple problemn trigonometry, i With respect to the planets, what are called their relative distances from the sun, (the earth's distance being In summer can bo prevented by taking Scott's Eniulsiesi Its as beneficial In summer us In winter.
