HOW FAR IS ME SOT
NEW LIGHT WHICH HAS BEEN THROWN
ON THE PROBLEM.
Results of Observations Made by the Coast
Surrey at the Sandwich Islands The Dis
tance to the Sun Is Something like Ninety-five
Million Miles, More or Lesa.
A littlo new light has recently been
thrown on tho problem of the distance
of tho sun. This is the great yardstick
of astronomy. For more than a century
cvory effort has boon mado to ascertain
tho distance as accurately as possible.
Methods direct and indirect have been
employed. Considering tho fact that the
knowlcdgo thus sedulously pursued can
servo no utilitarian purpose, the gener
ous expenditure in the pursuit does
credit to tho intellectual aspirations of
tho human raco. From tho timo of Cap-
- tain Cook's expedition to the Society is
lands to obscrvo the transit of Venus in
17G9 until tho present day millions of
dollars havo bccigpent in this effort to
drop a sounding hue to the sun.
Copernicus behoved that tho sun was
, not moro than 5,000,000 miles away.
Thcro were- philosophers before the
Christian era who know as much as
that For several years pass we nave
been assured that tho distance could not
bo far from 92,800,000 miles. But al
most a century ago Laplace assumed a
parallax for tho sun whioh gavo almost
exactly that distance, Sinco his time
various astronomors have attackod the
problem, and their results havo varied
from 01,000,000 to 95,250,000 miles,
tho difference between theso oxtremo es
timates being nearly as great as tho en
tire distance was believed to be by tho
founders of astronomy.
Yet these facts carry no challenge to
tho soundness of modern astronomical
inctliixls or tho substantial correctness of
tho-rt-sults attained by them. The dis
t;in. o of tho sun is not yet known with
'absolute accuracy, for tho same reason
that tho height of Mount St Ellas or of
Mi -tint Everest has not yet boon exactly
vt::i !ti (L But tho limits of error aro
known, and in tho future we shall not
estimates of tho sun's distance vary
ing by million of miles. If a series of
wires should 1)0 cut, each agreeing in
length with ono of tho recent measures
of tho solar parallax, and all should then
be stretched from tho earth toward the
sun, every ono of them would end in the
sun, ..though nono might stop precisely
at its center. .
lorn, it is furnished by tho results of ob
servations by tho United States coast sur
vey at the Sandwich Islands' to deter
mine tho constant of aberration of the
stars. By this is meant tho amount of
- displacement that the stars undergo in
consequence of the fact that wo are look
ing at them from a globo which is not
standing still, but is moving in an orbit
around tho sun at the rato of about 18 J
miles in a second. Light travels 180,
330 miles in a second. Tho ratio of the
velocity of tho flying earth to that of
light measures the displacement in the
position of tho stars that is called their
aberration. But, manifestly, if we can
learn precisely how far tho earth travels
in a second, wo shall know just how
long its orbit is. We know that the earth
takes one year, or, more exactly, 31,558, -150
seconds, to go once around, that or
bit If, then, wo can find out with rig
orous accuracy how far it goes in a sec
ond, wo can at once calculate not only
the length of tho orbit but the distance
of tho sun, which depends directly npon
tho sizo of tho orbit Of course allow
ance must bo mado for the fact that the
orbit, instead of being a circle, is an
ellipse, and that consequently the earth's
rato of traveling varies a litWo. But
mathematics take care of that
Now. wo havo seen that the displace
ment, or aberration, of the stars fur
nLshes a means of determining the ratio
of tho earth's velocity in its orbit to the
known velocity of light If that aberra
tion is accurately measured, it must
give, by a simplo calculation, the veloc
ity of - tho earth and the distance of the
sun, Tho aberration as ascertained at
the Sandwich Islands is slightly smaller
than previous measurements had mado
it It amounts to 20. 433 seconds of arc.
This gives for tho averago velocity of
-the earth in its orbit 18.4582 miles in a
second, and for the distance of the sun
02, 709, 000 miles. The distance derived
from the observation of the transit of
Venus in 1874 was about 620,000 miles
: iias man iius, wmio uuu caicmaieu.
from tho transit of 1882 was about 190.
000 miles greater. But Laplace's value
of tho solar parallax, adopted by bim in
- 1799, gives a distance differing by only
80,000 or 00,000 miles from that shown
by tho calculation based on the new
constant of aberration. So Laplace was
probably nearer to the truth than many
of tho later astronomers havo been.
It is evident that tho final solution of
the great problem has not even yet been
obtained Thcro is an uncertainty of
perhaps as much as 100,000 miles still
remaining. Since the distance of the
sun forms a base lino for calculating the
distance of tho stars, an error of 100,000
miles in that base line would make a
difforonco of nearly 80, 000, 000, 000 miles
hi tho calculated distance of tho nearest
fixed star in tho sky. It is for the as
tronomers of tho future, then, to deter
mine' tho real dimensions of the uni
verse, if they can. For our part, - wo
must bo content to know that they are
great almost beyond tho power of math
ematics to oxpress "and certainly bo-
yond tho power of imagination to con

Lei us see if we have the necessary
data for ascertaining what this solar ma
terial must be. We are first confronted
with the fundamental ( question as to
tether it is 1 u&ery to do composed of
Lents found on the earth. There was
a time no donbe wnen it mieht have
been urged that in all probabiJjlty the
solar elements wore so far different from
any bodice known to terrestrial chemists
that the solar clouds musi be constituted
of something altogether .beyond our cog
nizance. . But this view cannot be sus
tained in the present state of science.
Nothing is more remarkable in the re
cent advance of knowledge than the
dear demonstration of the fundamental
unity between the elements present in
the celestial bodies and those elements
of which the earth is composed. It is no
doubt true that we have found grounds
for believing that there may be one or
(wo elements in tho sun which we do not
find here. .
We have indeed assigned to these
dimly discerned elements the hypothet
ical names of ooronium and helium.
But even if such bodies exist at all they
are certainly wanting in the essential
qualities that must be attributed to any
element which purports to be the active
component of the photospherio clouds.
There cannot be a reasonable doubt that
the sun is mainly composed of elements
both well known and abundant on the
earth. It is clearly among these known
bodies that it is our duly to search for
the characteristic photospherio material.
As the terrestrial clouds consist of
Sater they are derived not from, a sim
e element, but from a composite body
formed of the gases-r-ozygen and hydro
gen. The multitude of composite bodies
ia, of course, innumerable, and the task
of searching for the solar constituents
would therefore seem to be an endless
one, unless we were in some way en
abled to restrict the field of inquiry.
This is just what the vast temperature
of the sun permits us' to da It is well
known that at a heat resembling that at
which the photosphere is maintained
chemical compounds cannot in general
exist Ordinary chemical compounds ex
posed to temperatures of such elevation
aro instantly resolved into their elemen
tary components. It is thus manifest
that in the endeavor to find the photo
spherio material we have not to scan the
illimitable field of chemical compounds.
We have only to consider the several
elementary bodies themselves.
Thus at once the research is narrowed
to a choice among some 64 different ma
terials, this being about the number of
the different elementary bodies. Most of
them have already been actually de
tected in the sun, and it is very likely
that (ho others do really exist there also
in some part or other of the sun's mighty
volume. Sir Robert Ball in Fortnight
ly Review.

formality having been accomplished, Mr.
Harris arose and said: "1 deem it my
duty to submit to the Senate a commu
nication from the Secretary of the
Treasury received this morning." The
letter was read from the clerk's desk, as
follows:
i Treasury Department,
Washington, D. C, Aug. 15, 1894.
To Hon. Isham G.Harris, Acting Chair
man Finance Committee:
Dear Sir: Your letter advising me
that the House ot Representatives had
passed and sent to the Senate bills put
ting sugar, coal, iron and barbed wire
on the free list, and requesting an official
statement from you (me) as to the
effect that the passage of these bills, or
either of them, would have upon .the
revenues of the Government, is received,
and in response I have the honor to say
that according to the most carefol esti
mates that can be made, if no change is
made in the proposed revenue legisla
tion which has recently passed through
Congress, the total receipts into
the ; Treasury during the current
fiscal year will , be as follows:
From duties on imports. Senate bill
including $48,000,000 on sugar, $179,000,
000; from internal taxes, whiskey $95,
000.000, tobacco $33,000,000, fermented
liquors $33,000,000. income $15,000,000,
oleomargarine $1,800,000, playing cards
$1,000,000, miscellaneous $200,000;
from sale of lands and other miscellane
ous sources $20,000,000. Grand total
$378,000,000. The estimated receipts for
tbe present fiscal year from the proposed
tax of incomes and playing cards and
the proposed additional tax of 20c per
gallon on distilled spirits, are, it will be
observed, much less than is stated in the
various tabulated statements which have
been heretofore used in the discussion
of these subjects, but I am satisfied the
amounts here given are approximately
correct.
Tbe proposed income tax will not be
come payable by the terms of ! the bill
recently passed until "On or belore uiy
1. 1895" which is the close of the fiscal
year; and it is estimated by the Commis
sioner o Internal Revenue that, b ra-j
son of the large stock on hand, the re
ceipts from the tax on playing cards will
not amount to more than one million
dollars during tbe year. Tbe estimated
increase of receipts on account of tbe
additional tax on distilled spirits during
tbe present year bas already been pre
vented, to a certain extent, by the with
drawal of large quantities of goods from
the bonded warehouses and ; the pay
ment of the tax thereon at 90 cents and
this process is still going on. j .
The total expenditures during the cur
rent fiscal year will be as follows:
Civil and miscellaneous, including de
ficiencies in postal revenues, $90,000,000;
war, including rivers and harbors, $56,-
000.000; navy, including new vessels and
armament, $33,000,000; Indians, $10,000,-
000; pensions, $143,500,000;! interests,
$30,500,000; total $363,000,000; estimated
surplus, S15,000,0UM
l he duty on sugar proposea tu tne re
cent bill will, according to importations
of that article during the fiscal year 1893,
yield an annual revenue of $43,473,953,
and the duties on the other articles men
tioned in your communication would
yield, under that bill about $1,-
000,000. that is to say. iron
ore. $270,000; coal, $436,149 and
barbed wire fencing and wire rods of
iron or steel, when imported for the
manufacture of barbed wire fencing,
about $300,000. It will be seen, there
fore, that if sugar alone is placed upon
tbe free list, the expenditures during the
present fiscal year will exceed the re-
ceiots to tne amount oi &2o, o,vos, ana
if the duties are removed irom an me
articles specified in your letter the de
ficit will be. $29,478,058, not including
any expenditures on account oi the sink
ing fund, or tne payment oi i2,so3,uw oi
Pacific Railroad bonds which will mature
during the fiscal year. In view of the
existing proposition and requirements
of the public service, I am of the opinion
that it would not be sale to place an tne
artieles enumerated in your letter, or
even sugar alone, upon the free list, with
out imposing taxation upon otuer articles
sufficient to raise an annual revenue of
about $30,000,000.
I have the honor to be,
1 Very respectfully, yours.
4- - J. G. Carlisle.
Note The bonds of the Pacific rail
road guaranteed by the Government to
the amount of S2.363,uuu mature during
the present fiscal year: and the amount
is not included in tne above estimate oi
expenditures.
Mr. tseerv moved, as soon as tne reaa
lng was completed that the Senate pro
ceed at once to the consideration ot tne
free sugar bill.
Mr. Harris 1 feel it my duty to say a
word and to make a motion to refer
these bills to the Finance Committee.
While l am heartily In favor of free
suear.raw and refined, and have cer
tainly no objection to putting the other
articles dealt with by the other bills, on
the free list; still, in yiew of the commu
nication just read from the Secretary of
the Treasury and the strong probability
(if not the absolute certainty) that if
these bills shall not become law. we will
have during the current year a de
ficiency In the Treasury of $29,000,000 or
$30,000,000. 1 feel it my duty to move to
refer each of those bills to the Finance
Committee, in order that that commit
tee may, in dealing with those bills, so
deal with them as to provide against
that inevitable deficiency. 1 do not
think that Congress can afford to ad'
journ without such provision as will
effectually guard against such deficiency;
and for that reason, and that reason
only, I move that these bills be referred
to the Committee On finance.
Sneeches acainst a reference and in
favor of the House bills were made by
Messrs. Berry. Vest and Mills.
) Notice of an amendment to the sugar
free bill was given by Mr. Jones, of Ar
kansas, imposing a duty of 30 per cent.
ad valorem on all sugars. -
Without any action whatever on the
bill, the Senate at 5.05 p. m. adjourned.
