Anotlier confusing element in ru2 names has entered â€"into the â€"maze of rug terminclogy.

"The spray evaporates in time and will be washed off by rain. Therefore it should be renewed every two weeks, and after heavy rains.

Excellent to 1nigq actuai depth of air in one dire?â€" tion would thus be greater than in another. This difference was great enough to put the astronomers four feet out in their reckonings. It seems a small thing to worry about, yet it is in solving these apparently minute prOblems that many of the world‘s most valuable discoveries have been made. Science is thoroughâ€"it must be to deserve the name. Thoroughness is one attribute that leads ultimately to advance in almost any walk of life. It was left to a Japanese astronomer to point cut the probable source of the error. When a beam of light not comâ€" ing down directly from azove strikes the earth‘s atmosphere, it is bent or refracted, just as it would be passing through glass. Refraction has always been taken into account when making accurate latitude Observations, for two stars, one in the north and the other in the south, at approximately the same "height" are observed, thus elimâ€" inating the refraction correction. But in this case, it seems there was more refraction in One direction than in the other. Ths Japanese explained it by taking the readings cof winds in the loâ€" cality for a period. He showed that the changes in apparent latitude oCâ€" curred when the wind blew more from cone directioin than the other. He said that on lands, a strong wind may turn the layers of air up on an angle, much as the rocks in the Porcupine district have been changed from their criginal pesiticn by intrusions. The actual depth of air in one direcâ€" Stations were set up all over thse world at the same latitude, 38 degrees 8 minutss north, in Maryland, Califorâ€" nia, Japan, Turkestan and Sardinia. They fcund one thing they expectedâ€" that when the latitude of a place on cne side of the earth appeared to move north, the other moved south. That seemed to prove quite definitely that the earth did wobble. But they found another discrepancy. They disâ€" covered that at certain times of the year, all the stations appeared to move north. There seemed to be no explanaâ€" tion. crosses the meridian. The distance from the horizon or from the zenith gives, by computation, the desired figâ€" ure. The trouble, as astronomers soOon found, was that the latitude of their observatory varied from time to time. It did, in fact, vary in a regular sort of wayâ€"in a@a cycle câ€" â€"a definite time. One of the causts was found to lbe that the earth‘s axis actually wobbles! Not very much, but enough to be chbâ€" served. The reason? Snow niled up on one end of the earth adds weight; winds pushing air along in front of them add weight to certain parts of the earth; currents piling water up ahead of them help to keep the weight unequally distributed. Now the carth, being not quite spherical, must try to adjust itseif. It does so, with a wobbling mCtion, thus throwing the telescopic observations for latitude all out of kilter. to the store of knowledge. The apparâ€" ent latitude of any place on the earth‘s surface changesâ€"because of snows, winds and ocean currents! Those are some of the more important reasons now known to be true. The problem is not yet completely solved, but should be within a few years. The knowledge that observed latiâ€" tude was not always the same came about from the use of accurate inâ€" struments. The common manner of finding the latitude cof a point is to observe a knOown astronomical bodyâ€" sun, mCon, planet or star, just as it In the case of latitudes, no single explanation filled the bill. Several inâ€" fluences were foung to be at work and as a result much more has been added By "Shakes" Calculating the exact latitude of any one place on the earth‘s surface used to be considered a comparatively simâ€" ple matter. But as is often the case with scientific "laws," it was later disâ€" covered that there were other influâ€" ences that made the determining of exact latitude a much more difficult task. True scientists are of a typsâ€" they refuse to let discrepancies pass without trying to find an explanation.
