And, as the Rate Is Constantly Accel- erated, We Shall Get Thore Much Sooner, Mowever, Untll More Exact Figures Are Reached, There Is No Occasion for Alarm. New Yonx, Jan. 17.—Tho World publishes a cable dispatch from London, saying 1 “The first tentative computations mado at Groenwieh of data obtained from observations of tho recent transit of Vonua havo yielded re- sulte somewhat different from what was ox- pected, Four caloulations made independently gives the sun's parallax as being respectively 906 seconds, 945 seconds, 025 soconds, and 920 sco- onda, tho mean being 924 seconds, Tho computations woro mado by Prof, 0.

Dunkin and El- lis, assistants ot the Royal Observatory, Greon- wich, No calculations havo yot boen completed at Kew Observatory. ‘Tho computations as given wero made only upon the basia of mo- monte of oxternal and internal contacts a3 re- ported from aifferent points of observation, and may be considerably modified when photographie and micrometic measurements are taken into ac- count.” Based on this dispatch, the World remarks, on the authority of an Amorican astronomer, as follows: ‘To say that the sun's parallax bas been ascortainad to be 924 seconds, is to say that the sun iy distant from ua avout 22,323 semi- diameters of tho oarth, or 88,443,726 milos, This ia 6,026,274 mites Ices than tho distanco made out by Eucke from observations of tho Iaat transit, aud 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 loss than the results obtained by mora recoat measure- meuts. If this ratio wore constant, wo should require 1,440 years to overcome tho ontire dia- tance aud fall into the sun, But, as it is cortaiu that our coutripotal motion would bo vastly ac- colorated continually as we got closar within the ephore of tho sun’a attraction, unloss hls forces should be proportioually decreasod or his voluino reduced, it is also probable that wo should cou- wume very much leas time than is above given in making the tremendous journoy.’ ene THE WEATHER.
