To the astronomer as well as the layman there is much in the me- chamics of the heavens which is cal- ed to awaken conceptions as to tupendous scale on which the heavens are constructed, and all pm- braced in what astronomers regard “the noblest problem in astronomy"'— the solar parallax. For the past cen- turies, taking the semi-dlameter of the earth’s orbit as the standard of meastre for the universe. astronomers, from Tycho Brahe and Gallileo to the present time, have been studying the question of the sun's distance from the consideration of its tempera. ;ure. seemingly “so near and yet a For hundreds of years astronomers hoped to ascertain the sun's distance, having the occurrence of the transit of Venus and the repeated opposition of Mars and eclipse phenomena as the basis to solve the problem, and to come to some permanent settiement of the statisticd of our solar system, but they failed, so many were the conflicting conclusions of all the va- rious quantities upon which the sun’s parallax depends.
