[ RESULTS OF MANY OBSERVATIONS Stmple Methods hy Which Explorers Coula Their the Determine Pos tlon et or Near Pole In these daye of keen public interest in the brilliant achlevements of our fellow countrymen in reaching the North pole, It may be of Interest to know that the precision of modern secience has demon strated that the position of the pole not constant with respect to the surface of the earth. In other words, the axis of the earth Is shifting Irregularly by a very small amount. A small amount, Indeed, and the marvel Is that it ean be detected at all, for the extreme range of variation of of the pole does not exceed sixty feet. It thus one time be thirty feet trom the “pole of fig ure. geometrical pole of the flattensd earth-sphere or spberoid; at any other date it may be found to be thirty feet from its central position in the opposite direction or sixty feet from where it was at first And these minute changes are measuted from stations three thousand miles away or distant one-eighth of the circumfer- ence of the earth! While the wandering of the pole, or vari- ation of latitude 1s now a universally ac- cepted fact of geodesy and astronomy, the story is worth telling of how M o to be more than a hazy hypothesis occa sionally suggested it for discrep- other observations. It must first that all astronomical observa- position may at me to accou | ancles ir be state | tion, giving | objects in a north and south direction, | depend upon & prior knowledge of the lati- |tude of the observatory. If the latitude |18 In error or varles then all star declina- [tions are i error by that full amount | Thus we see the fundamental Importance [of the problem for ail such astronomical | | work. Serfous and unexplained errors of this sort had for two centurles been noted in the work of the most skiliful astronomers —of Bradley, the astronomer royal, at the early part of the eighteenth century, and his successors; and at other well equipped Institutions. Extent of Variation. The question was raised whether it possible that the position axis within the earth varied by an appreci- able amount. The problem had, indeed been treated theoretically by the cele- brated mathematician, Leonard Euler, who, in the middle of the elghteenth century, cluded that there might be a motion of the geographical pole with reference to ‘the earth's surface In a period of 306 days The great German astronomer, Bessel, some eighty years ago, expressed the UDIH» lon that such shiftings of the pole were probable, but the instruments of his day were not accurate enough to show it. At the imperial observatory of Pulkowa, near St. Petersburg, the astronomer Nyren made a most careful determination of the lati- [tude with the vertical circle and reached the conclusion that the variation of lati- tude did not have the theoretical period of Buler. Thereupon Sir Willlam Thom- #on (later known as Lord Kelvin) pointed out that that period could not be existent, because its amplitude and phase must be irregularly variable. He also showed that, instead of being very minute, the varla- tions of latitude might have a range of |one-half second (about fifty feet). An adequate for at least a part of the variations might be found in the shifting of ice, water and air from the pole toward the ‘equator, and its return. In a publication of the Berlin Obser- | vatory In the year 188 Dr. . Kuestner, | then the observer there, now director the observatory at Bonn, added to the title “with investigations on the variation of the latitude.” He concludes that his ob- servations and discussion show that | changes in the latitude up to several tenths of a second occur lrregularly in short in- tervals and he proposes that, in the inter- est of astronomy and geodesy, the question be more thoroughly investigated by simul- taneous observations al appropriately lected stations on the earth. This suk- gestion (which had been made as early as 1588 by an Itallan astronomer, Prof. Fer- gola) was soon In effect, and concurrent observations of the latitude, using the leame stars, by the Talcott method, were in progress at Berlin, Pottsdam and Pregue from January 1, 1889, onward. At the end of 18%0 Prof. Albrecht, to whom the reductions were intrusted, could say that Ithe fact of the change in latitude was beyond question. The next step was to es- tublish n station of .the opposite side of the earth from the European observator- fes; and in April, 1881, two was cause ok one from the United States coast and geodetic survey, to Honolulu to make con- tinuous observations there. The expected happened, and it was found that the lutitude of Honolulu decreased as that at Berlin increased, and vice versa The cause could, therefore, be only a shifting of the axis within the earth | atitude Observatio) Or the last ten years latitude observa tions have been conducted by the Interna tional geodetic survey of Burope in co- operation with the United States Coast and Jeodetic at four stations on the parallel of latitude 30 degrecs, 8 minutes at Carloforte (Sardinia), Galihers Md, Uklah, Cal, and Mizusawa, besides two supplementary st chardjul (Aslatic Recently two established the the southern Australla and survey same burg Japan ons at Russla) and Cinein- nati. also, stations have on same parallel latitude in hemisphere Bayswater Oneativo, gentina The meanderings of the earth's axis ure thus kept under mortal seru- tiny the sharpest ern science.

The sextant is the oniy instrument which | can be used at sea, for principle | is that it allows the observer to see two different things at once, the sun, or star, and the horizon. If he ponted an instru- | ment first at the star and then at his horl- | zon, the lutervening pitch or roll of his ship would so alter the angle between the | two points that his observations would be vitally yitlated. But if he is skilful enough, despite roll and pitch, to hold his sextant in hand and get the two objects into ap- | parent contact in his field of view, then on the graduated circle (nominally of degrees) he can read the altitude in de- | grees, minutes and seconds, of siar or sun | above the horizon, at the moment of that | contact. From his noon altitude he can | deduce his position within a mile or two. | On land the definite sea horizon is lack- | ing, and recourse is made to an ariificial | horizon, consisting usually of a shallow lrn)’ of mercury, protected from ripples due to wind by a glass cover. The observer points the littie telescope of his sex ant down obliquely at the mercury, and moves | the arm of the mextant over the gradua- tions until the Image of the actual sun Is seen in apparent contact with the fmage reflected from the mercury. The reading of the instrument is then exactly double the altitude of the sun above the horizon- tal plane; his pointing at the mercury is as much below the horizon as the real sun is above it. Stmple Method At temperatures where mercury freezes, @ plece of plane plete-glass, black, or per- haps gllvered, after being carefu.ly leveled With & spirit level, would take the place ot the mercury surface. The altitude of the sun or bright star should be measurable within a fiftie'h of a degree, glve his latitude within & mile or so, despite cold and wind. When near the pole a conside | able error in the chronometer would but slightly affect the measure of latitude.
