A Mistake of; Four Mili.i6ns.- A some what important error in our measurement of the sun from the earth has been discovered. It is now proved that we have been accustomed, to over estimate the distance by i four millions of miles and that instead of ninety-five millions the real figure is ninety-one. This discovery is credi ted to Mr Stone, of the Royal : Observatory, at Greenwich,) England. Is it not probable that the sun ana eartn are graauauy drawing t nearer to each other?
