By ROBERT H. BAKER | (Professor of Astronomy, Univer- sity of Illinois) URBANA, Ill, Jan. 28.—The out- | standing astronomical event of January is the close approach to the earth of the ting planet Eros. On January 30, when nearest, it will be only 16 million miles away —much nearer than any other planet ever comes. Eros is one of hundreds of small planets, known as asteroids, which revolve around the sun, for the most part between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The asteroids are cold, dark bod- ies llke the earth, shining by ro- flected - sunlight. The largest one, Ceres, is less than 50 miles in dia- meter, while the majority have a diameter of less than 50 miles. | With the exception of Vesta they are invisible without a telescope. During January Eros will move rapidly south through the con- stellation Leo. Its course lles a lit- tle to the east of the bright Sickle of Leo which now appears in the eastern sky rather late in the eve- ning. On January 30 it will have passed soth to Leo. into the small con- stellation Sextans near the ce- lestian equator. The interest of astronomers in the- visit of Eros is not because it allows thém to observe its surface, {tor this tiny planet, probably less than 20 miles in diameter, and even the largest telescope will show 1t| only as a star. ‘The chief importance of the close approach on this occdsion is that it Is possible to measure the dis- tance of Eros with greater pre- cision than that of any other plan- et. On this basis it then may be possible to calculate the sum’s dis- tance more accurately than ever before. The sun’s distance is the astron- omer's yardstick in terms of which all celestian distances are expressed. It fixes the scale for the physical universe for the mathematician. The present value of the sun's distance is 92,870,000 miles. It may easily be in error by as much as 20,000 miles, that is to say, two- hundredths of one per cent. Since the discovery of Eros in 1898, this is the first really good opportunity to observe it at close range. FUNERAL HELD FOR MRS. H. C. HERNER Funera] services for the late Mrs. H. C. Herner, were held this aft- ernoon in the chapel of the C. W. Carter Mortuary, the Rev. C. C. Saunders, pastor of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church, con- ducting the rites. Interment was in Exergreen cemetery. — e — SMALL BLAZE IN KITCHEN AT GASTINEAU HOTEL | | Heat from the big range in the Ioutmuu Cafe this. afternoon ig- nited the wall just above the range but the fire was extlnxulshed by the Fire Departmeént before any material damage wids donme.
