The establishment of chairs of geography in +some of our greatest universities, the giving of college +courses in physiography, meteor\-ology, and commerce, +and the general extension of geography courses in normal +schools, academies, and high schools, may be cited as +evidence of this growing appreciation of the importance of +the subject. + +While physiographic processes and resulting land forms +occupy a large place in geographical control, the earth in +its simple mathematical aspects should be better understood +than it generally is, and mathematical geography +deserves a larger place in the literature of the subject than +the few pages generally given to it in our physical geographies +and elementary astronomies. It is generally +conceded that the mathematical portion of geography +is the most difficult, the most poorly taught and least +understood, and that students require the most help in +understanding it. The subject-matter of mathematical +geography is scattered about in many works, and no one +book treats the subject with any degree of thoroughness, +or even makes a pretense at doing so. It is with the +view of meeting the need for such a volume that this +work has been undertaken. + +Although designed for use in secondary schools and for +teachers' preparation, much material herein organized +%% -----File: 004.png---Folio 4------- +may be used in the upper grades of the elementary school. +The subject has not been presented from the point of +view of a little child, but an attempt has been made to +keep its scope within the attainments of a student in a +normal school, academy, or high school. If a very short +course in mathematical geography is given, or if students +are relatively advanced, much of the subject-matter may +be omitted or given as special reports. + +To the student or teacher who finds some portions too +difficult, it is suggested that the discussions which seem +obscure at first reading are often made clear by additional +explanation given farther on in the book. Usually the +second study of a topic which seems too difficult should be +deferred until the entire chapter has been read over carefully. + +The experimental work which is suggested is given for +the purpose of making the principles studied concrete and +vivid. The measure of the educational value of a laboratory +exercise in a school of secondary grade is not found +in the academic results obtained, but in the attainment of +a conception of a process. The student's determination +of latitude, for example, may not be of much value if its +worth is estimated in terms of facts obtained, but the +forming of the conception of the process is a result of +inestimable educational value. Much time may be wasted, +however, if the student is required to rediscover the facts +and laws of nature which are often so simple that to see +is to accept and understand. + +Acknowledgments are due to many eminent scholars +for suggestions, verification of data, and other valuable +assistance in the preparation of this book. + +To President George W.~Nash of the Northern Normal +\index{Nash, George W.}% +and Industrial School, who carefully read the entire manuscript +%% -----File: 005.png---Folio 5------- +and proof, and to whose thorough training, clear +insight, and kindly interest the author is under deep +obligations, especial credit is gratefully accorded.

To +distinguish between centrifugal force and centripetal +force, the student should realize that forces never occur +singly but only in pairs and that in any force action there +are always \emph{two bodies} concerned. Name them $A$~and~$B$. +Suppose~$A$ pushes or pulls~$B$ with a certain strength. +This cannot occur except~$B$ pushes or pulls~$A$ by the same +amount and in the opposite direction.

In the +case of a stone whirled at the end of a string, the necessary +force which the string exerts on the stone to keep it in a +curved path is centripetal force, and the reaction of the +stone upon the string is centrifugal force. + +The formulas for centripetal force are exactly the same +as those for centrifugal force. Owing to the rotation of +the earth, a body at the equator describes a circle with +uniform speed. The attraction of the earth supplies the +centripetal force required to hold it in the circle.

Thus the same pound-weight +taken from the earth to the sun's surface would weigh $27$~pounds there, only one sixth of a pound at the surface of +\index{Sun}% +\index{Gravity@Gravity\phantomsection\label{idx:g}!on sun}% +the moon, over $2\tfrac{1}{2}$~pounds on Jupiter, etc. If the earth +\index{Jupiter}% +\index{Gravity@Gravity\phantomsection\label{idx:g}!on Jupiter}% +were more dense, objects would weigh more on the surface. +Thus if the earth retained its present size but contained as +much matter as the sun has, the strongest man in the world +could not lift a silver half dollar, for it would then weigh +over five tons.

The Naval Observatories at +\index{United States Naval Observatory|(}% +Washington, D.~C., and Mare Island, California, send out +the signals during the five minutes preceding noon each +day. + +It is a common custom for astronomical observatories to +correct their own clocks by careful observations of the stars. +The Washington Observatory sends telegraphic signals to +all the cities east of the Rocky Mountains and the Mare +Island Observatory to Pacific cities and Alaska.

Other instruments used are the chronograph and +the sidereal clock. The chronograph is an instrument +\index{Clock, sidereal}% +\index{Sidereal, clock}% +\index{Chronograph@Chronograph (kr\u{o}n$'$\={o}\;graph)}% +which may be electrically connected with the clock and +which automatically makes a mark for each second on a +sheet of paper fastened to a cylinder. The sidereal clock +%% -----File: 069.png---Folio 70------- +is regulated to keep time with the stars---not with the +sun, as are other clocks. The reason for this is because +the stars make an apparent circuit with each rotation of +the earth and this, we have observed, is unerring while +the sun's apparent motion is quite irregular. + +To correct the clock, an equatorial or high zenith star +is selected. A well known one is chosen since the exact +time it will cross the meridian of the observer (that is, be +at its highest point in its apparent daily rotation) must be +calculated. The chronograph is then started, its pen and +ink adjusted, and its electrical wires connected with the +clock. The observer now sights the telescope to the point +where the expected star will cross his meridian and, with +his hand on the key, he awaits the appearance of the star. +As the star crosses each of the eleven hair lines in the field +of the telescope, the observer presses the key which automatically +marks upon the chronographic cylinder. Then +by examining the sheet he can tell at what time, \emph{by the +clock}, the star crossed the center line. He then calculates +just what time the clock \emph{should} indicate and the difference +is the error of the clock. By this means an error of one +tenth of a second can be discovered. + +\Paragraph{The Sidereal Clock.} The following facts concerning the +\index{Clock, sidereal}% +\index{Sidereal, clock}% +sidereal clock may be of interest. It is marked with +twenty-four hour spaces instead of twelve. Only one +moment in the year does it indicate the same time as +ordinary timepieces, which are adjusted to the average sun. +When the error of the clock is discovered the clock is +not at once reset because any tampering with the clock +would involve a slight error. The correction is simply +noted and the rate of the clock's gaining or losing time is +calculated so that the true time can be ascertained very +precisely at any time by referring to the data showing the +%% -----File: 070.png---Folio 71------- +clock error when last corrected and the rate at which it +varies. + +A while before noon each day the exact sidereal time is +calculated; this is converted into local mean solar time and +this into standard time.

After he has traveled~$15°$ +farther, he will set his watch back two hours and thus +record a loss of two hours. And so it continues throughout +the twenty-four belts of~$15°$ each, losing one hour in +each belt; by the time he arrives at his starting point +again, he has set his hour hand back twenty-four hours +and has lost a day. + +\includegraphicsmid{i092}{Fig.~30} + +{% adjust margin round wrapfig to squeeze image onto page +\setlength\intextsep{0pt} +\Paragraph{Westward Travel---Days are Lengthened.} To make this +\index{London, England|(}% +clearer, let us suppose a traveler starts from London Monday +noon, January~1st, traveling westward~$15°$ each day. +On Tuesday, when he finds he is~$15°$ west of London, he +sets his watch back an hour. It is then noon by the sun +where he is. +\includegraphicsright{i094}{Fig. 31} %[**TN: inserted mid-paragraph - may need fixing if pagination changed] +He says, ``I left Monday noon, it is now +%% -----File: 093.png---Folio 94------- +Tuesday noon; therefore I have been out one day.'' The +tower clock at London and his chronometer set with it, +however, indicate a different view. They say it is Tuesday, +1~o'clock, \PM, and he has been out a day and an hour. +The next day the process is repeated. The traveler having +covered another space of $15°$ westward, sets his watch +back a second hour and says, ``It is Wednesday noon and +I have been out just two days.'' The London clock, however, +says Wednesday,~2 o'clock, \PM---two days and +two hours since he left. The third day this occurs again, +the traveler losing a third hour; and what to him seems +three days, Monday noon to Thursday noon, is in reality +by London time three days and three hours. +Each of his days is really a little more than twenty-four hours long, +for he is going with the sun. By the time he arrives at +London again he finds what to him was twenty-four days +is, in reality, twenty-five days, for he has set his watch +back an hour each day for twenty-four days, or an entire +day. To have his calendar correct, he must omit a day, +that is, move the date ahead one day to make up the date +lost from his reckoning. It is obvious that this will be +true whatever the rate of travel, and the day can be omitted +from his calendar anywhere in the journey and the error +corrected. + +\Paragraph{Eastward Travel---Days are Shortened.} Had our traveler +gone eastward, when he had covered $15°$ of longitude +he would set his watch ahead one hour and then say, +``It is now Tuesday noon. I have been out one day.'' +The London clock would indicate~11 o'clock, \AM, of +Tuesday, and thus say his day had but twenty-three +hours in it, the traveler having moved the hour hand +ahead one space. He has gained one hour. The second +day he would gain another hour, and by the time he arrived +%% -----File: 094.png---Folio 95------- +at London again, he would +have set his hour hand ahead +twenty-four hours or one +full day. To correct his calendar, +somewhere on his voyage +he would have to repeat +a day. + +\Paragraph{The International Date +Line.} It is obvious from +\index{International date line@International date line\phantomsection\label{idx:idl}}% +the foregoing explanation +that somewhere and sometime +in circumnavigation, a +day must be omitted in traveling +westward and a day +repeated in traveling eastward. +Where and when the +change is made is a mere +matter of convenience. The +theoretical location of the +date line commonly used is +the~180th meridian. This +\index{Meridian|(}% +line where a traveler's calendar +needs changing varies +as do the boundaries of the +standard time belts and for +the same reason. While +the change could be made +at any particular point on +a parallel, it would make a +serious inconvenience were +the change made in some +places.

The day adopted in any +region depended upon the direction from which the +people came who settled the country. For example, +people who went to Australia, Hongkong, and other English +\index{Australia}% +\index{Hongkong}% +possessions in the Orient traveled around Africa or +\index{Africa}% +across the Mediterranean. They thus set their watches +\index{Mediterranean}% +ahead an hour for every~$15°$. ``For two centuries after +the Spanish settlement the trade of Manila with the +western world was carried on \emph{via} Acapulco and Mexico'' +\index{Acapulco, Mexico}% +\index{Mexico}% +(Ency.\ Brit.). Thus the time which obtained in the +\index{Encyclopaedia Britannica}% +Philippines was found by setting watches backwards an +\index{Philippine Is.}% +hour for every $15°$, and so it came about that the calendar +of the Philippines was a day earlier than that of Australia, +Hongkong, etc. The date line at that time was very indefinite +and irregular. In~1845 by a decree of the Bishop of +Manila, who was also Governor-General, Tuesday, December~31, +was stricken from the calendar; the day after +Monday, December~30, was Wednesday, January~1, 1846. +This cutting the year to~364 days and the week to~6 days +gave the Philippines the same day as other Asiatic places, +and shifted the date line to the east of that archipelago. +Had this change never been made, all of the possessions +of the United States would have the same day. + +For some time after the acquisition of Alaska the people +\index{Alaska}% +living there, formerly citizens of Russia, used the day later +\index{Russia}% +than ours, and also used the Russian or Julian calendar, +twelve days later than ours.

If this is not readily seen from the +foregoing statements and the diagram, think again of the +rotation of the earth making an apparent rotation of +the celestial sphere in the opposite direction, the reasons +why the sun and moon seem to rise in the east and set in +the west; then think of the motion of the earth around the +sun by which the sun is projected among certain stars +and then among other stars, seeming to creep among +them from west to east. + +After seeing this clearly, think of yourself as facing the +rising sun and a star which is also rising. Now imagine +the earth to have rotated once, a day to have elapsed, +and the earth to have gone a day's journey in its orbit in +the direction corresponding to upward. The sun would +%% -----File: 113.png---Folio 114------- +not then be on the horizon, but, the earth having moved +``upward,'' it would be somewhat below the horizon. +The same star, however, would be on the horizon, for the +earth does not change its position in relation to the stars. +After another rotation the earth would be, relative to the +stars viewed in that direction, higher up in its orbit and +the sun farther below the horizon when the star was just +rising. In three months when the star rose the sun would +be nearly beneath one's feet, or it would be midnight; in +six months we should be on the other side of the sun, +and it would be setting when the star was rising; in nine +months the earth would have covered the ``downward'' +quadrant of its journey around the sun, and the star +would rise at noon; twelve months later the sun and +star would rise together again. If the sun and a star +set together one evening, on the next evening the star +would set a little before the sun, the next night earlier +still. + +Since the sun passes around its orbit, $360°$, in a year, +\index{Orbit, of earth}% +$365$ days, it passes over a space of nearly one degree each +day. The diameter of the sun as seen from the earth +covers about half a degree of the celestial sphere. During +one rotation of the earth, then, the sun creeps eastward +among the stars about twice its own width.

As just shown, the apparent eastward motion of +the sun in the ecliptic is faster than the average twice a +year, and slower than the average twice a year. A fictitious +sun is imagined to move at a uniform rate eastward +in the celestial equator, starting with the apparent sun at +the vernal equinox (see \glossref{Equinox} in Glossary) +and completing +its annual course around the celestial sphere in +the same time in which the sun apparently makes its circuit +of the ecliptic. While, excepting four times a year, +the apparent sun is fast or slow as compared with this +fictitious sun which indicates mean solar time, their difference +at any moment, or the equation of time, may be +accurately calculated. + +The equation of time is indicated in various ways. The +usual method is to indicate the time by which the apparent +sun is faster than the average by a minus sign, and the +time by which it is slower than the average by a plus sign. +The apparent time and the equation of time thus indicated, +when combined, will give the mean time.

The sidereal year is the time elapsing +between the passage of the earth's center over a given +point in its orbit until it crosses it again. For reasons +\index{Orbit, of earth}% +not properly discussed here (see Precession of the Equinoxes, +p.~\pageref{page:286}), the point in the orbit where the earth is +when the vertical ray is on the equator shifts slightly +westward so that we reach the point of the vernal equinox +a second time a few minutes before a sidereal year has +elapsed. The time elapsing from the sun's crossing of the +celestial equator in the spring until the crossing the next +spring is a \emph{tropical}, year and is what we mean when we +say ``a year.''\footnote + {A third kind of year is considered in astronomy, the anomalistic + year, the time occupied by the earth in traveling from perihelion to + perihelion again.

The adjustment +of the days, weeks, and months into a calendar +\index{Month@Month \indexglossref{Month}}% +that does not change from year to year but brings +the annual holidays around in the proper seasons, has +been a difficult task for the human race to accomplish. +If the length of the year were an even number of days +and that number was exactly divisible by twelve, +seven, and four, we could easily have seven days in a week, +four weeks in a month, and twelve months in a year and +have no time to carry over into another year or month. + +\Paragraph{The Moon the Measurer.} Among the ancients the +moon was the great measurer of time, our word month +comes from the word moon, and in connection with its +changing phases religious feasts and celebrations were +observed. Even to-day we reckon Easter and some other +holy days by reference to the moon. Now the natural +units of time are the solar day, the lunar month (about +$29\frac{1}{2}$~days), and the tropical year. But their lengths are +prime to each other. For some reasons not clearly known, +but believed to be in accordance with the four phases of +the moon, the ancient Egyptians and Chaldeans divided +\index{Egypt}% +\index{Chaldeans}% +the month into four weeks of seven days each. The +addition of the week as a unit of time which is naturally +related only to the day, made confusion worse confounded. +Various devices have been used at different times to make +the same date come around regularly in the same season +year after year, but changes made by priests who were +ignorant as to the astronomical data and by more ignorant +kings often resulted in great confusion. The very +%% -----File: 133.png---Folio 134------- +exact length of the solar year in the possession of the +ancient Egyptians seems to have been little regarded. + +\Paragraph{Early Roman Calendar.} Since our calendar is the same +\index{Calendar!early Roman}% +\index{Roman calendar}% +as that worked out by the Romans, a brief sketch of their +system may be helpful. The ancient Romans seem to +have had ten months, the first being March. We can see +\index{Month@Month \indexglossref{Month}}% +that this was the case from the fact that September means +seventh; October, eighth; November, ninth; and December, +tenth. It was possibly during the reign of Numa +\index{Numa}% +that two months were added, January and February. +There are about $29\frac{1}{2}$~days in a lunar month, or from one +new moon to the next, so to have their months conform +to the moons they were given $29$~and~$30$ days alternately, +beginning with January. This gave them twelve +lunar months in a year of $354$~days. It was thought +unlucky to have the number even, so a day was added for +luck. + +This year, having but $355$~days, was over ten days too +short, so festivals that came in the summer season would +appear ten days earlier each year, until those dedicated +to Bacchus, the god of wine, came when the grapes were +\index{Bacchus}% +still green, and those of Ceres, the goddess of the harvest, +\index{Ceres}% +before the heads of the wheat had appeared. To correct +this an extra month was added, called Mercedonius, every +\index{Mercedonius}% +second year. Since the length of this month was not fixed +by law but was determined by the pontiffs, it gave rise +to serious corruption and fraud, interfering with the collection +of debts by the dropping out of certain expected +dates, lengthening the terms of office of favorites,~etc. + +\Paragraph{The Julian and the Augustan Calendars.} In the year +\index{Caesar, Augustus!Julius}% +\index{Julian calendar}% +46~\BC, Julius Caesar, aided by the Egyptian astronomer, +Sosigenes, reformed the calendar. He decreed that beginning +\index{Sosigenes@Sosigenes (so\;s\u{\i}g$'$e\;n\={e}z)}% +with January the months should have alternately $31$~and +%% -----File: 134.png---Folio 135------- +$30$~days, save February, to which was assigned $29$~days, +and every fourth year an additional day. This +made a year of exactly $365\tfrac{1}{4}$~days. Since the true year has +$365$~days, $5$~hours, $48$~min., $45.51$~sec., and the Julian year +had $365$~days, $6$~hours, it was $11$~min., +$14.49$~sec.\ too long. + +\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0pt} +\smallsize +\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}r@{}r} +\multicolumn{2}{@{}c@{}}{\textsc{Julian}} &\textsc{Augustan} \\ +Jan. & 31 & 31 \\ +Feb. & 29--30 & 28--29 \\ +Mar. & 31 & 31 \\ +Apr. & 30 & 30 \\ +May & 31 & 31 \\ +June & 30 & 30 \\ +July & 31 & 31 \\ +Aug. & 30 & 31 \\ +Sept. & 31 & 30 \\ +Oct. & 30 & 31 \\ +Nov. & 31 & 30 \\ +Dec. & 30 & 31 +\end{tabular} +\end{wrapfigure} + +During the reign of Augustus +\index{Augustan calendar}% +\index{Caesar, Augustus}% +another day was taken from February +and added to August in order +that that month, the name of which +had been changed from Sextilis to +August in his honor, might have as +many days in it as the month +Quintilis, whose name had been +changed to July in honor of Julius Caesar. To prevent the +three months, July, August, and September, from having $31$ +days each, such an arrangement being considered unlucky, +Augustus ordered that one day be taken from September +and added to October, one from November and added to +December.

Its length was $365.25$~days, +whereas the true length of the year is $365.2422$~days. +While the error was only $.0078$~of a day, in the +course of centuries this addition to the true year began +to amount to days. By 1582 the difference had amounted +to about $13$~days, so that the time +%% -----File: 135.png---Folio 136------- +when the sun crosses the celestial equator, occurred the +11th~of March. In that year Pope Gregory~XIII reformed +the calendar so that the March equinox might occur on +\index{Calendar!Gregorian}% +March~21st, the same date as it did in the year 325~\AD, +when the great Council of Nicæa was held which finally +\index{Nicaea, Council of}% +decided the method of reckoning Easter. One thousand +two hundred and fifty-seven years had elapsed, each being +$11$~min.\ $14$~sec.\ too long. The error of $10$~days was +corrected by having the date following October~4th of that +year recorded as October~15. To prevent a recurrence of +the error, the Pope further decreed that thereafter the +centurial years not divisible by~400 should not be counted +as leap years. Thus the years 1600, 2000, 2400,~etc., are +leap years, but the years 1700, 1900, 2100,~etc., are not +leap years. This calculation reduces the error to a very +low point, as according to the Gregorian calendar nearly +$4000$ years must elapse before the error amounts to a +single day. + +\sloppy +The Gregorian calendar was soon adopted in all Roman +Catholic countries, France recording the date after December 9th +\index{France}% +as December~20th. It was adopted by Poland in~1786, +\index{Poland}% +and by Hungary in~1787. Protestant Germany, +\index{Hungary}% +\index{Germany}% +Denmark, and Holland adopted it in~1700 and Protestant +\index{Denmark}% +\index{Holland}% +Switzerland in~1701. The Greek Catholic countries have +\index{Switzerland}% +not yet adopted this calendar and are now thirteen days +behind our dates. Non-Christian countries have calendars +of their own. + +\fussy +In England and her colonies the change to the Gregorian +\index{England}% +system was effected in~1752 by having the date +following September~2d read September~14.

In~1500, leap +year was counted by +the old style but +should not have +been counted by the +new style. Hence, +in the century ending +1500, only~9 days +difference had been made. So the discovery of America +occurred October~12,~\OS{} or October~21,~\NS. English +%% -----File: 137.png---Folio 138------- +historians often write such dates October~$\dfrac{12}{21}$, the upper date +referring to old style and the lower to new style. + +A historian usually follows the dates in the calendar used +\index{Calendar!early Roman}% +by his country at the time of the event. If, however, the +event refers to two nations having different calendars, both +dates are given. Thus, throughout Macaulay's ``History +\index{Macaulay's History of England}% +of England'' one sees such dates as the following: Avaux, +$\dfrac{\text{July}\ 27}{\text{Aug.}\ 6}$, 1689. (Vol.~III\@.) A few dates in American history +prior to September, 1752, have been changed to agree +with the new style. Thus Washington was born Feb.~11, +\index{Washington, George}% +1731,~\OS, but we always write it Feb.~22, 1732. The %[**TN: original text omitted period after O.S] +reason why all such dates are not translated into new +style is because great confusion would result, and, besides, +some incongruities would obtain. Thus the principal ship +of Columbus was wrecked Dec.~25, 1492, and Sir Isaac +\index{Columbus, Christopher}% +Newton was born Dec.~25, 1642, and since in each case +\index{Newton, Isaac}% +this was Christmas, it would hardly do to record them as +Christmas, Jan.~3, 1493, in the former instance, or as +Christmas, Jan.~4, 1643, in the latter case, as we should +have to do to write them in new style. + +\Paragraph{The Beginning of the Year.} With the ancient Romans +\index{Roman calendar}% +\index{Caesar, Augustus!Julius}% +the year had commenced with the March equinox, as +we notice in the names of the last months, September, +October, November, December, meaning 7th, 8th, 9th, +10th, which could only have those names by counting +back to March as the first month. By the time of Julius +Caesar the December solstice was commonly regarded as +the beginning of the year, and he confirmed the change, +making his new year begin January first. The later +Teutonic nations for a long time continued counting the +beginning of the year from March~25th. In~1563, by an +\index{Gregorian calendar|)}% +%% -----File: 138.png---Folio 139------- +edict of Charles~IX, France changed the time of the beginning +\index{Charles IX., King of France}% +\index{France}% +of the year to January first. In~1600 Scotland made +\index{Scotland}% +the same change and England did the same in~1752 when +\index{England}% +the Gregorian system was adopted there. Dates between +the first of January and the twenty-fifth of March from +1600 to~1752 are in one year in Scotland and another year +in England. In Macaulay's ``History of England'' (Vol.~III, +\index{Macaulay's History of England}% +p.~258), he gives the following reference: ``Act.\ Parl.\ Scot., +Mar.~19, 1689--90.'' The date being between January~1st +and March~25th in the interval between 1600 and +1752, it was recorded as the year~1689 in England, and a +year later, or~1690, in Scotland---Scotland dating the new +year from January~1st, England from March~25th. This +explains also why Washington's birthday was in 1731,~\OS, +\index{Washington, George}% +and 1732,~\NS, since English colonies used the same +system of dating as the mother country. + +\Paragraph{Old Style is still used in England's Treasury Department.} +``The old style is still retained in the accounts +of Her Majesty's Treasury.

Long +\index{Chaldeans}% +before Abraham left Ur of the Chaldees (see Genesis~xi,~31; +\index{Ur, ancient Chaldean city}% +\index{Abraham}% +\index{Genesis}% +Nehemiah~ix,~7, etc.)\ that city had a royal observatory, +\index{Nehemiah}% +and Chaldeans had made subdivisions of the celestial sphere +and worked out the calendar upon which ours is based. + +Few of us can fail to recall how hard fractions were +when we first studied them, and how we avoided them in +our calculations as much as possible. For exactly the +same reason these ancient Chaldeans used the number~$60$ +as their unit wherever possible, because that number +being divisible by more numbers than any other less than~$100$, +its use and the use of any six or a multiple of six +avoided fractions. Thus they divided circles into $360$~degrees +($6 × 60$), each degree into $60$~minutes, and each +minute into $60$~seconds.

The +amount of refraction at +the horizon is ordinarily +$36'\ 29''$; that is to say, +a star seen on the horizon +is in reality over +one half a degree below +the horizon.

This accounts for the statement in almanacs +as to the exact length of the day at the equinoxes. +Theoretically the day is twelve hours long then, but practically +%% -----File: 160.png---Folio 161------- +\index{Barometer}% +\index{Moon or satellite@Moon or satellite\phantomsection\label{idx:m}}% +it is a few minutes longer.

The earth is exactly between the sun and the +moon, but because of refraction, both sun and moon are +seen above the horizon. + +The sun and moon often appear flattened when near +the horizon, especially when seen through a haze. This +apparent flattening is due to the fact that rays from the +lower portion are more oblique than those from the upper +portion, and hence it is apparently lifted up more than +the upper portion. + +\Section{Twilight} +\index{Twilight|(}% + +The atmosphere has the peculiar property of reflecting +\index{Atmosphere|(}% +and scattering the rays of light in every direction. Were +not this the case, no object would be visible out of the +direct sunshine, shadows would be perfectly black, our +houses, excepting where the sun shone, would be perfectly +dark, the blue sky would disappear and we could see the +stars in the day time just as well as at night. Because +of this diffusion of light, darkness does not immediately +set in after sunset, for the rays shining in the upper air +%% -----File: 161.png---Folio 162------- +are broken up and reflected to the lower air. This, in +brief, is the explanation of twilight. There being practically +no atmosphere on the moon there is no twilight +there. These and other consequences resulting from the +lack of an atmospheric envelope on the moon are described +on p.~\pageref{page:263}. %[**TN: 'pp. 263, 264' in original text] + +\Paragraph{Length of Twilight.} Twilight is considered to last while +the sun is less than about $18°$ below the horizon, though +the exact distance varies somewhat with the condition of +the atmosphere, the latitude, and the season of the year. +There is thus a +twilight zone immediately +beyond +the circle of illumination, +and outside +of this zone is the +true night. Figure~\figureref{i161}{50} +represents these +three portions: (1)~the +hemisphere receiving +direct rays (slightly more than a hemisphere owing +to refraction), (2)~the belt $18°$ from the circle of illumination, +and (3)~the segment in darkness---total save for +starlight or moonlight.

In latitudes of +the United States, the twilight averages one and one-half +hours long, being greater in midsummer. At the poles, +twilight lasts about two and one-half months. + +\Paragraph{Twilight Long in High Latitudes.} The reason why the +twilight lasts so long in high latitudes in the summer will +be apparent if we remember that the sun, rising north of +east, swinging slantingly around and setting to the north +of west, passes through the twilight zone at the same +oblique angle. At latitude $48°~33'$ the sun passes around +so obliquely at the summer solstice that it does not sink $18°$ +below the horizon at midnight, and stays within the twilight +zone from sunset to sunrise. At higher latitudes on +that date the sun sinks even less distance below the +horizon. For example, at St.~Petersburg, latitude $59°~56'~30''$, +the sun is only $6°~36'~25''$ below the horizon at midnight +June~21 and it is light enough to read without +artificial light.

We all know that glass permits heat rays +from the sun to pass readily through it, and that the dark +rays of heat from the stove or radiator do not readily pass +through the glass. Were it not for this fact it would be +no warmer in a room in the sunshine than in the shade, +and if glass permitted heat to escape from a room as +readily as it lets the sunshine in we should have to dispense +with windows in cold weather. Stating this in +more technical language, transparent glass is diathermanous +to luminous heat rays but athermanous to dark rays. +Dry air possesses this same peculiar property and permits +the luminous rays from the sun to pass readily through to +the earth, only about one fourth being absorbed as they +pass through. About three fourths of the heat the atmosphere +receives is that which is radiated back as dark rays +from the earth. Being athermanous to these rays the heat +is retained a considerable length of time before it at length +escapes into space. It is for this reason that high altitudes +are cold, the atmosphere being heated from the +\index{Atmosphere|)}% +bottom upwards. + +\Paragraph{Maximum Heat Follows Summer Solstice.} Because of +these conditions and of the convecting currents of air, and, +%% -----File: 167.png---Folio 168------- +\index{Equinox@Equinox \phantomsection\label{idx:e}\indexglossref{Equinox}}% +to a very limited extent, of water, the heat is so distributed +and accumulated that the hottest weather is in the +month following the summer solstice (July in the northern +hemisphere, and January in the southern); conversely, the +coldest month is the one following the winter solstice. +This seasonal variation is precisely parallel to the diurnal +change. At noon the sun is highest in the sky and pours +in heat most rapidly, but the point of maximum heat is +not usually reached until the middle of the afternoon, when +the accumulated heat in the atmosphere begins gradually +to disappear. + +\Paragraph{Astronomical and Climatic Seasons.} Astronomically +\index{Seasons}% +there are four seasons each year: spring, from the vernal +equinox to the summer solstice; summer, from the summer +solstice to the autumnal equinox; autumn, from the +autumnal equinox to the winter solstice; winter, from the +winter solstice to the spring equinox.

If the moon is observed near a +given star on one night, twenty-four hours later it will be +found, on the average, about $13.2°$~to the eastward. To +reach the same star a second time it will require as many +days as that distance is contained times in~$360°$ or about +$27.3$~days. This is the sidereal month, the time required +for one complete revolution of the moon. + +\Paragraph{Synodic Month.} Suppose the moon is near the sun at a +given time, that is, in the same part of the celestial sphere. +During the twenty-fours hours following, the moon will +creep eastward~$13.2°$ and the sun~$1°$. The moon thus +gains on the sun each day about~$12.2°$, and to get in conjunction +with it a second time it will take as many days +as $12.2°$~is contained in~$360°$ or about $29.5$~days. This is +called a synodic (from a Greek word meaning ``meeting'') +month, the time from conjunction with the sun---new +moon---until the next conjunction or new moon. The +term is also applied to the time from opposition or full +\index{Opposition}% +moon until the next opposition or full moon. If the +phases of the moon are not clearly understood it would +be well to follow the \hyperref[page:9]{suggestions} on this subject in the +first chapter. + +\Paragraph{Moon's Orbit.} The moon's orbit is an ellipse, its +%% -----File: 177.png---Folio 178------- +\index{Apogee@Apogee \indexglossref{Apogee}}% +\index{Orbit, of earth!of moon}% +nearest point to the earth is called perigee (from \textit{peri}, +\index{Perigee}% +around or near; and \textit{ge}, the earth) and is about $221,617$ +miles. Its most distant point is called apogee (from \textit{apo}, +from; and \textit{ge}, earth) and is about $252,972$ miles. The +average distance of the moon from the earth is $238,840$ +miles. The moon's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic $5°~8'$ +and thus may be that distance farther north or south than +the sun ever gets. + +The new moon is said to be in \emph{conjunction} with the sun, +\index{Conjunction}% +both being on the same side of the earth. If both are +then in the plane of the ecliptic an eclipse of the sun must +\index{Eclipse}% +take place. The moon being so small, relatively (diameter +$2,163$~miles), its shadow on the earth is small and +thus the eclipse is visible along a relatively narrow path. + +The full moon is said to be in \emph{opposition} to the sun, +\index{Opposition}% +it being on the opposite side of the earth. If, when in +opposition, the moon is in the plane of the ecliptic it will +be eclipsed by the shadow of the earth. When the moon +is in conjunction or in opposition it is said to be in \emph{syzygy}. +\index{Syzygy}% + +\Section{Gravitation} +\index{Gravitation}% + +\Paragraph{Laws Restated.} This force was discussed in the \hyperref[page:16]{first +chapter} where the two laws of gravitation were explained +and illustrated. The term gravity is applied to the force +of gravitation exerted by the earth (see Appendix, p.~\pageref{sec:gravity}). +Since the explanation of tides is simply the application of +the laws of gravitation to the earth, sun, and moon, we +may repeat the two laws: + +First law: The force of gravitation varies directly as +the mass of the object. + +Second law: The force of gravitation varies inversely +as the square of the distance of the object. +%% -----File: 178.png---Folio 179------- + +\Paragraph{\nbstretchyspace Sun's Attraction Greater, but Moon's Tide-Produc\-ing +Influence Greater.} There is a widely current notion that +since the moon causes greater tides than the sun, in the +ratio of $5$~to~$2$, the moon must have greater attractive +influence for the earth than the sun has. Now this cannot +be true, else the earth would swing around the moon as +certainly as it does around the sun. Applying the laws of +gravitation to the problem, we see that the sun's attraction +\index{Gravitation}% +for the earth is approximately $176$~times that of the +moon.\footnote + {For the method of demonstration, see p.~\pageref{page:19}. The following data + are necessary: Earth's mass,~$1$; sun's mass, $330,000$; moon's mass,~$\frac{1}{81}$; + distance of earth to sun, $93,000,000$ miles; distance of earth to moon, + $239,000$ miles.} + +The reasoning which often leads to the erroneous conclusion +just referred to, is probably something like this: + +\SubparagraphNoSpace{Major premise:} Lunar and solar attraction causes tides. + +\SubparagraphNoSpace{Minor premise:} Lunar tides are higher than solar tides. + +\SubparagraphNoSpace{Conclusion:} Lunar attraction is greater than solar +attraction. + +We have just seen that the conclusion is in error.

It would be more nearly correct to say that +wind is caused by the unequal heating of the atmosphere. +Similarly, it is not the attraction of the sun and moon +for the earth that causes tides, it is the unequal attraction +for different portions of the earth that gives rise to unbalanced +forces which produce tides. +%% -----File: 179.png---Folio 180------- + +\includegraphicsmid{i179}{Fig.~58} + +Portions of the earth toward the moon or sun are $8,000$ +miles nearer than portions on the side of the earth opposite +the attracting body, hence the force of gravitation is +slightly different at those points as compared with other +points on the earth's surface. It is obvious, then, that at +$A$~and~$B$ (Fig.~\figureref{i179}{58}) there are two unbalanced forces, that +is, forces not having counterparts elsewhere to balance +them. At these two sides, then, tides are produced, +since the water of the oceans yields to the influence of +these forces. That this may be made clear, let us examine +these tides separately. + +\Paragraph{The Tide on the Side of the Earth Toward the Moon.} If $A$ +is $239,000$ miles from the moon, $B$~is $247,000$ miles away +from it, the diameter of the earth being~$AB$ (Fig.~\figureref{i179}{58}). +Now the attraction of the moon at $A$,~$C$, and~$D$, is away +from the center of the earth and thus lessens the force of +gravity at those points, lessening more at~$A$ since $A$~is +nearer and the moon's attraction is exerted in a line +%% -----File: 180.png---Folio 181------- +\index{Establishment, the, of a port}% +directly opposite to that of gravity. The water, being +fluid and easily moved, yields to this lightening of its +weight and tends to ``pile up under the moon.'' We thus +have a tide on the side of the earth toward the moon. + +\Paragraph{Tidal Wave Sweeps Westward.} As the earth turns +on its axis it brings successive portions of the earth toward +the moon and this wave sweeps around the globe as nearly +as possible under the moon. The tide is retarded somewhat +by shallow water and the configuration of the coast +and is not found at a given place when the moon is at +meridian height but lags somewhat behind. The time +between the passage of the moon and high tide is called +the \emph{establishment of the port}. This time varies greatly at +different places and varies somewhat at different times of +the year for the same place. + +\Paragraph{Solar Tides Compared with Lunar Tides.} Solar tides +are produced on the side of the earth toward the sun for +exactly the same reason, but because the sun is so far +away its attraction is more uniform upon different parts +of the earth. If $A$~is $93,000,000$ miles from the sun, $B$~is +$93,008,000$ miles from the sun. The ratio of the squares of +these two numbers is much nearer unity than the ratio +of the numbers representing the squares of the distances +of $A$~and~$B$ from the moon. If the sun were as near as +the moon, the attraction for~$A$ would be greater by an +enormous amount as compared with its attraction for~$B$. +Imagine a ball made of dough with lines connected to +every particle. If we pull these lines uniformly the ball +will not be pulled out of shape, however hard we pull. If, +however, we pull some lines harder than others, although +we pull gently, will not the ball be pulled out of shape? +Now the pull of the sun, while greater than that of the +moon, is exerted quite evenly throughout the earth and +%% -----File: 181.png---Folio 182------- +\index{Great Britain}% +has but a slight tide-producing power. The attraction of +the moon, while less than that of the sun, is exerted less +evenly than that of the sun and hence produces greater +tides. + +It has been demonstrated that the tide-producing force +of a body varies inversely as the cube of its distance and +directly as its mass. Applying this to the moon and sun +we get: +\begin{flalign*} + &&\text{Let } T &= \text{sun's tide-producing power}, \\ +\text{and}&& t &= \text{moon's tide-producing power}.&\phantom{\text{and}} +\end{flalign*} + +The sun's mass is $26,500,000$ times the moon's mass, +\[ +\therefore T : t \dblcolon 26,500,000 : 1. +\] + +But the sun's distance from the earth is $390$~times the +moon's distance, +\[ +\therefore T : t \dblcolon \frac{1}{390^3} : 1. +\] + +Combining the two proportions, we get, +\[ +T : t \dblcolon 2 : 5. +\] + +It has been shown that, owing to the very nearly equal +attraction of the sun for different parts of the earth, a +body's weight is decreased when the sun is overhead, as +compared with the weight six hours from then, by only +$\dfrac{1}{20,000,000}$; that is, an object weighing a ton varies in +weight $\frac{3}{4}$~of a grain from sunrise to noon.

The planets nearest the sun, +Mercury and Venus, probably keep the same side toward +\index{Mercury}% +\index{Venus}% +the sun for a similar reason. Applying the same reasoning +to the earth, it is believed that the period of rotation must +be gradually shortening, though the rate seems to be +entirely inappreciable. + +\includegraphicsmid{i183}{Fig.~59} + +\nblabel{page:183}\Paragraph{The Tide on the Side of the Earth Opposite the Moon.} A +planet revolving around the sun, or a moon about a planet, +takes a rate which varies in a definite mathematical ratio +to its distance (see p.~\pageref{page:285}).

Mathematical accuracy in maps was not of very +great importance in navigation until long journeys had to +be made with no opportunity for verification of calculations. +Various roughly accurate map projections were +made. The map sent to Columbus about the year 1474 +\index{Columbus, Christopher}% +by the Italian astronomer Toscanelli, with which he suggested +\index{Toscanelli}% +sailing directions across the ``Sea of Darkness,'' is +an interesting illustration of a common type of his day. +%% -----File: 212.png---Folio 213------- + +\index{North America}% +\index{South America}% +\index{Toscanelli}% +\includegraphicssideways{i212}{Fig.~88} +%% -----File: 213.png---Folio 214------- + +The long journeys of the Portuguese along the coast of +Africa and around to Asia and the many voyages across +\index{Africa}% +\index{Asia}% +the Atlantic early in the sixteenth century, made accurate +map projection necessary. About the middle of that century, +Emperor Charles~V of Spain employed a Flemish +\index{Charles V., Emperor of Spain}% +\index{Spain}% +mathematician named Gerhard Kramer to make maps for +\index{Kramer, Gerhard}% +the use of his sailors. The word Kramer means, in German, +``retail merchant,'' and this translated into Latin, +then the universal language of science, becomes Mercator, +and his invention of a very valuable and now widely used +map projection acquired his Latinized name. + +\Subparagraph{Plan of Mercator Chart.} The Mercator projection is +made on the same plan as the other cylindrical projections, +excepting as to the distances between parallels. +The meridians are represented as parallel lines, whereas +on the globe they converge. There is thus a distortion of +longitudes, greater and greater, away from the equator. +Now the Mercator projection makes the parallels farther +apart away from the equator, exactly proportional to the +meridional error. Thus at latitude~$60°$ the meridians on +the earth are almost exactly half as far apart as at the +equator, but being equidistant on the map, they are represented +as twice as far apart as they should be. The +parallels in that portion of the Mercator map are accordingly +made twice as far apart as they are near the equator. +Since the distortion in latitude exactly equals the distortion +in longitude and parallels and meridians are straight +lines, all directions are represented as straight lines. A +navigator has simply to draw upon the map a line from +the point where he is to the point to which he wishes to +sail in a direct course, measure the angle which this line +forms with a parallel or meridian, and steer his ship according +to the bearings thus obtained. +%% -----File: 214.png---Folio 215------- + +\Subparagraph{To Lay off a Mercator Projection.} Figure~\figureref{i214}{89} shows the +simplest method of laying off this projection.

Suppose we wish to +%% -----File: 215.png---Folio 216------- +lay off parallels ten degrees apart. The first parallel to be +drawn north of the equator has, according to the table, +$599.1$ for its meridional distance. This multiplied by +$\dfrac{10}{5944.3}$ equals slightly more than~$1$. Hence the parallel~$10°$ +should be laid off $1$~inch from the equator. The 20th~parallel +has for its meridional distance $1217.3$.

The fact that +the sun rotates faster at its equator than at other parts +also points toward the nebular theory. The contraction +theory of the source of the sun's heat, so generally accepted, +\index{Sun|)}% +is a corollary of the nebular theory. + +\textit{d.} The heated interior of the earth and the characteristics +of the geological periods suggest this theory as +the explanation. + +\Subparagraph{The Theory.} These facts reveal a system intimately +related and pointing to a common physical cause. According +to the theory, at one time, countless ages ago, all +%% -----File: 248.png---Folio 249------- +the matter now making up the solar system was in one +great cloudlike mass extending beyond the orbit of the +most distant planet. This matter was not distributed with +uniform density. The greater attraction of the denser +portions gave rise to the collection of more matter around +them, and just as meteors striking our atmosphere generate +\index{Meteors}% +by friction the flash of light, sometimes called falling +or shooting stars, so the clashing of particles in this nebulous +mass generated intense heat. + +\Subparagraph{Rotary Motion.} Gradually the whole mass balanced +about its center of gravity and a well-defined rotary +motion developed. As the great nebulous mass condensed +and contracted, it rotated faster and faster. The +centrifugal force at the axis of rotation was, of course, +zero and increased rapidly toward the equator. The force +of gravitation thus being partially counteracted by centrifugal +force at the equator, and less and less so at other +points toward the axis, the mass flattened at the poles. +The matter being so extremely thin and tenuous and acted +upon by intense heat, also a centrifugal force, it flattened +out more and more into a disklike form. + +As the heat escaped, the mass contracted and rotated +faster than ever, the centrifugal force in the outer portion +thus increased at a greater rate than did the power of +gravitation due to its lessening diameter. Hence, a time +came when the centrifugal force of the outer portions +exactly balanced the attractive power of gravitation and +the rim or outer fragments ceased to contract toward the +central mass; and the rest, being nearer the center of +gravity, shrank away from these outer portions. The +outer ring or ringlike series of fragments, thus left off, +continued a rotary motion around the central mass, +remaining in essentially the same plane. +%% -----File: 249.png---Folio 250------- + +\Subparagraph{Planets Formed from Outlying Portions.} Since the +matter in the outlying portions, as in the whole mass, was +somewhat unevenly distributed, the parts of it consolidated. +The greater masses in the outer series hastened +by their attraction the lesser particles back of them, +retarded those ahead of them, and thus one mass was +formed which revolved around the parent mass and +rotated on its axis. If this body was not too dense it +might collect into the satellites or moons revolving around +it. This process continued until nine such rings or lumps +had been thrown off, or, rather, \emph{left off}. The many small +planets around the sun between the orbit of Mars and +\index{Sun}% +that of Jupiter were probably formed from one whose parts +\index{Jupiter}% +were so nearly of the same mass that no one by its preponderating +attraction could gather up all into a planet. +The explanation of the rings of Saturn is essentially the +same. + +\Subparagraph{Conclusion as to the Nebular Hypothesis.} This theory, +with modifications in detail, forms the basis for much of +scientific speculation in subjects having to do with the +earth. That it is the ultimate explanation, few will be so +hardy as to affirm. Many questions and doubts have been +thrown on certain phases recently but it is, in a sense, +the point of departure for other theories which may displace +it. Perhaps even the best of recent theories to +receive the thoughtful attention of the scientific world, +the ``planetesimal hypothesis,'' can best be understood +\index{Planetesimal hypothesis}% +in general outline, in terms of the nebular theory. + +\Paragraph{The Planetesimal Hypothesis.} This is a new explanation +of the genesis of our solar system which has been +worked out by Professors Chamberlin and Moulton of +\index{Chamberlin, T. C.}% +\index{Moulton, F. R.}% +the University of Chicago, and is based upon a very +\index{University of Chicago}% +careful study of astronomical facts in the light of mathematics +%% -----File: 250.png---Folio 251------- +and astrophysics. It assumes the systems to have +been evolved from a spiral nebula, similar to the most +\index{Nebulae}% +common form of nebulæ observed in the heavens. It is +supposed that the nebulous condition may have been +caused by our sun passing so near a star that the tremendous +\index{Sun}% +tidal strain caused the eruptive prominences (which +the sun shoots out at frequent intervals) to be much +larger and more vigorous than usual, and that these, when +projected far out, were pulled forward by the passing star +and given a revolutionary course about the sun. The arms +\index{Revolution@Revolution \indexglossref{Revolution}}% +of spiral nebulæ have knots of denser matter at intervals +which are supposed to be due to special explosive impulses +and to become the centers of accretion later. The material +thus shot out was very hot at first, but soon cooled +into discrete bodies or particles which moved independently +about the sun like planets (hence the term \emph{planetesimal}). +\index{Orbit, of earth}% +When their orbits crossed or approached each other, +the smaller particles were gathered into the knots, and +these ultimately grew into planets. Less than one seven-hundredth +of the sun was necessary to form the planets +and satellites. + +This hypothesis differs from the nebular hypothesis in a +number of important particulars. The latter assumes the +earth to have been originally in a highly heated condition, +while under the planetesimal hypothesis the earth may +have been measurably cool at the surface at all times, the +interior heat being due to the compression caused by +gravity. The nebular hypothesis views the atmosphere as +\index{Atmosphere!origin of}% +the thin remnant of voluminous original gases, whereas +the new hypothesis conceives the atmosphere to have been +gathered gradually about as fast as consumed, and to have +come in part from the heated interior, chiefly by volcanic +action, and in part from outer space. The oceans, according +%% -----File: 251.png---Folio 252------- +to the old theory, were condensed from the great +masses of original aqueous vapors surrounding the earth; +according to the new theory the water was derived from +the same sources as the atmosphere.

As we shall see presently, either instrument would +have to be adjusted in order to keep Martian time as the +day there is longer than ours. + +\Paragraph{Rotation.} Because of its well-marked surface it has +been possible to ascertain the period of rotation of Mars +with very great precision. Its sidereal day is $24$~h.\ $37$~m.\ +$22.7$~s.

They are very small, only six or seven miles in +diameter. Phobos is so near to Mars ($3,750$~miles from the +surface) that it looks almost as large to a Martian as our +moon does to us, although not nearly so bright. Phobos, +being so near to Mars, has a very swift motion around the +\index{Mars|)}% +planet, making more than three revolutions around it +during a single Martian day. Now our moon travels +around the earth from west to east but only about $13°$ in +a day, so because of the earth's rotation the moon rises +in the east and sets in the west. In case of Phobos, it +revolves faster than the planet rotates and thus rises in +the west and sets in the east. Thus if Phobos rose in the +west at sunset in less than three hours it would be at +meridian height and show first quarter, in five and one +half hours it would set in the east somewhat past the +full, and before sunrise would rise again in the west almost +at the full again.

A man +weighing $150$~pounds here would weigh $135$~pounds there. + +\Paragraph{Revolution.} Venus revolves around the sun in a period +of $225$ of our days, probably rotating once on the journey, +thus keeping essentially the same face toward the sun. +The day, therefore, is practically the same as the year, and +the zones are two, one of perpetual sunshine and heat and +the other of perpetual darkness and cold. Its atmosphere +\index{Atmosphere!on Venus}% +is of nearly the same density as that of the earth. Being +a little more than seven tenths the distance of the earth +from the sun, that blazing orb seems to have a diameter +nearly one and one half times as great and pours nearly +twice as much light and heat over a similar area. Its +orbit is more nearly circular than that of any other planet. + +\Section{Jupiter} +\index{Jupiter}% + +\Paragraph{Form and Dimensions.} After Venus, this is the brightest +of the heavenly bodies, being immensely large and +having very high reflecting power. Jupiter is decidedly +oblate. Its equatorial diameter is $90,000$~miles and its +polar diameter is $84,200$~miles. Degrees of latitude near +the equator are thus nearly $785$~miles long, increasing to +over $800$~miles near the pole. The area of the surface is +$122$~times that of the earth, its volume~$1,355$, its mass or +weight~$317$, and its density about one fourth. + +\Paragraph{Surface Gravity.} The weight of an object on the surface +\index{Gravity@Gravity\phantomsection\label{idx:g}!on Jupiter}% +of Jupiter is about two and two thirds times its weight +here. A man weighing $150$~pounds here would weigh $400$~pounds +there but would find he weighed nearly $80$~pounds +more near the pole than at the equator, gravity being so +much more powerful there. A pendulum clock taken from +%% -----File: 256.png---Folio 257------- +the earth to Jupiter would gain over nine hours in a day +\index{Jupiter}% +and would gain or lose appreciably in changing a single +degree of latitude because of the oblateness of the planet. + +\Paragraph{Rotation.} The rotation of this planet is very rapid, +occupying a little less than ten hours, and some portions +seem to rotate faster than others. It seems to be in a +molten or liquid state with an extensive envelope of gases, +\index{Atmosphere!on Jupiter}% +eddies and currents of which move with terrific speed. +The day there is very short as compared with ours and a +difference of one hour in time makes a difference of over +$36°$~in longitude, instead of~$15°$ as with us. Their year +being about $10,484$~of their days, their solar day is only a +few seconds longer than their sidereal day. + +\Paragraph{Revolution.} The orbit of Jupiter is elliptical, perihelion +\index{Revolution@Revolution \indexglossref{Revolution}|(}% +being about $42,000,000$ miles nearer the sun than aphelion. +Its mean distance from the sun is $483,000,000$ miles, about +five times that of the earth. The angle its equator forms +with its ecliptic is only~$3°$, so there is little change in +seasons. The vertical ray of the sun never gets more +than $3°$~from the equator, and the torrid zone is $6°$~wide. +The circle of illumination is never more than $3°$~from or +beyond a pole so the frigid zone is only $3°$~wide. The +temperate\footnote + {These terms are purely relative, meaning, simply, the zone on + Jupiter corresponding in position to the temperate zone on the earth. + The inappropriateness of the term may be seen in the fact that Jupiter + is intensely heated, so that its surface beneath the massive hot vapors + surrounding it is probably molten.} +zone is $84°$~wide. + +\index{Moon or satellite@Moon or satellite\phantomsection\label{idx:m}|(}% +Jupiter has seven moons. + +\Section{Saturn}\nblabel{page:257} +\index{Saturn}% + +\Paragraph{Form and Dimensions.} The oblateness of this planet +is even greater than that of Jupiter, being the greatest of +%% -----File: 257.png---Folio 258------- +the planets. Its mean diameter is about $73,000$ miles. It, +therefore, has $768$~times the volume of the earth and $84$~times +the surface. Its density is the lowest of the planets, +only about one eighth as dense as the earth. Its surface +\index{Gravity@Gravity\phantomsection\label{idx:g}!on Saturn}% +gravity is only slightly more than that of the earth, varying, +however, $25$~per~cent from pole to equator. + +\Paragraph{Rotation.} Its sidereal period of rotation is about $10$~h.\ +$14$~m., varying slightly for different portions as in case +of Jupiter. The solar day is only a few seconds longer +than the sidereal day. + +\sloppy +\Paragraph{Revolution.} Its average distance from the sun is +$866,000,000$ miles, varying considerably because of its +ellipticity. It revolves about the sun in $29.46$~of our +years, thus the annual calendar must comprise $322,777$ +of the planet's days. %[**TN: Calculation error: 29.46 years is roughly 25,000 days of 10h 14m] + +\fussy +The inclination of Saturn's axis makes an angle of~$27°$ +\index{Saturn}% +between the planes of its equator and its ecliptic. Thus +the vertical ray sweeps over~$54°$ giving that width to its +torrid zone, $27°$~to the frigid, and $36°$~to the temperate. +Its ecliptic and our ecliptic form an angle of~$2.5°$, so we +always see the planet very near the sun's apparent path. + +Saturn has surrounding its equator immense disks, of +thin, gauzelike rings, extending out nearly $50,000$ miles +from the surface. These are swarms of meteors or tiny +moons, swinging around the planet in very nearly the +same plane, the inner ones moving faster than the outer +ones and being so very minute that they exert no appreciable +attractive influence upon the planet. + +In addition to the rings, Saturn has ten moons. + +\Section{Uranus} +\index{Uranus@Uranus (\={u}$'$ra\;nus)}% + +\Paragraph{Form and Dimensions.} This planet, which is barely +visible to the unaided eye, is also decidedly oblate, nearly +\index{Zones|)}% +%% -----File: 258.png---Folio 259------- +as much so as Saturn. Its mean diameter is given as +from $34,900$ miles to $28,500$ miles. Its volume, on basis +of the latter (and latest) figures, is $47$~times that of the +earth. Its density is very low, about three tenths that of +the earth, and its surface gravity is about the same as +\index{Gravity@Gravity\phantomsection\label{idx:g}!on Uranus}% +ours at the equator, increasing somewhat toward the +pole. + +Nothing certain is known concerning its rotation as it +has no distinct markings upon its surface. Consequently +we know nothing as to the axis, equator, days, calendar, +or seasons. + +Its mean distance from the sun is $19.2$~times that of the +earth and its sidereal year $84.02$~of our years. + +Uranus has four satellites swinging around the planet +\index{Uranus@Uranus (\={u}$'$ra\;nus)}% +in very nearly the same plane at an angle of~$82.2°$ to the +plane of the orbit. They move from west to east around +the planet, not for the same reason Phobos does about +Mars, but probably because the axis of the planet, the +plane of its equator, and the plane of these moons has +been tipped~$97.8°$ from the plane of the orbit and the +north pole has been tipped down below or south of the +ecliptic, becoming the south pole, and giving a backward +rotation to the planet and to its moons. + +\Section{Neptune} +\index{Neptune}% + +Neptune is the most distant planet from the sun, is +probably somewhat larger than Uranus, and has about +the same density and slightly greater surface gravity. +\index{Gravity@Gravity\phantomsection\label{idx:g}!on Neptune}% + +Owing to the absence of definite markings nothing is +known as to its rotation. Its one moon, like those of +Uranus, moves about the planet from west to east in a +plane at an angle of $34°~48'$ to its ecliptic, and its backward +motion suggests a similar explanation, the inclination +\index{Moon or satellite@Moon or satellite\phantomsection\label{idx:m}|)}% +%% -----File: 259.png---Folio 260------- +of its axis is more than~$90°$ from the plane of its +\index{Neptune}% +ecliptic. + +\Section{Mercury} +\index{Mercury}% + +This is the nearest of the planets to the sun, and as it +never gets away from the sun more than about the width +of forty suns (as seen from the earth), it is rarely visible +and then only after sunset in March and April or before +sunrise in September and October. + +\Paragraph{Form and Dimensions.} Mercury has about three +eighths the diameter of the earth, one seventh of the surface, +and one eighteenth of the volume. It probably has +one twentieth of the mass, nine tenths of the density, +and a little less than one third of the surface gravity. +\index{Gravity@Gravity\phantomsection\label{idx:g}!on Mercury}% + +\Paragraph{Rotation and Revolution.} It is believed that Mercury +rotates once on its axis during one revolution. Owing to +its elliptical orbit it moves much more rapidly when near +perihelion than when near aphelion, and thus the sun +loses as compared with the average position, just as it +does in the case of the earth, and sweeps eastward about~$23\frac{1}{2}°$ +from its average position.

These dots representing the moon, if +connected, being never more than about one twentieth +of an inch from the circle, will not vary materially from +the circle representing the orbit of the earth, and the +moon's orbit around the sun will be seen to have in every +part a concave side toward the sun. + +The solar day of the moon being $29.53$~of our days, its +tropical year must contain as many of those days as that +number is contained times in $365.25$~days or about $12.4$~days. +The calendar for the moon does not have anything +\index{Calendar!on moon}% +corresponding to our month, unless each day be +treated as a month, but has a year of $12.4$~long days of +nearly $709$~hours each.

In all +the earliest literature that condition seems to be assumed. +The ancient navigators could hardly have failed to observe +the apparent convex surface of the sea and very ancient +literature as that of Homer alludes to the bended sea. +\index{Homer}% +This, however, does not necessarily indicate a belief in the +spherical form of the earth. + +Although previous to his time the doctrine of the spherical +form of the earth had been advanced, Herodotus +\index{Herodotus@Herodotus (he\;r\u{o}d$'$\;o\;tus)}% +(born about 484~\BC, died about 425~\BC)\ did not believe +in it and scouted whatever evidence was advanced in its +favor. Thus in giving the history of the Ptolemys, kings +\index{Ptolemy Necho, of Egypt}% +of Egypt, he relates the incident of Ptolemy Necho (about +\index{Egypt}% +610--595~\BC)\ sending Ph{\oe}nician sailors on a voyage +\index{Phoenicians}% +around Africa, and after giving the sailors' report that +\index{Africa}% +they saw the \emph{sun to the northward} of them, he says, ``I, +%% -----File: 268.png---Folio 269------- +for my part, do not believe them.'' Now seeing the sun +to the northward is the most logical result if the earth be +a sphere and the sailors went south of the equator or south +of the tropic of Cancer in the northern summer. +\index{Cancer, constellation of!tropic of}% +\index{Tropics}% + +Ancient travelers often remarked the apparent sinking +of southern stars and rising of northern stars as they +traveled northward, and the opposite shifting of the heavens +as they traveled southward again. In traveling eastward +or westward there was no displacement of the heavens +and travel was so slow that the difference in time of +sunrise or star-rise could not be observed. To infer that +the earth is curved, at least in a north-south direction, was +most simple and logical. It is not strange that some began +to teach that the earth is a cylinder. Anaximander (about +\index{Anaximander@Anaximander (\u{a}n\;\u{a}x\;\u{\i}\;m\u{a}n$'$der)}% +611--547~\BC), indeed, did teach that it is a cylinder\footnote + {According to some authorities he taught that the earth is a + sphere and made terrestrial and celestial globes. See Ball's \textit{History of + Mathematics}, p.~18.} +\index{Ball's History of Mathematics}% +and +thus prepared the way for the more nearly correct theory. + +\Paragraph{{\mdseries II.} The Earth a Sphere.} The fact that the Chaldeans +\index{Chaldeans}% +had determined the length of the tropical year within less +than a minute of its actual value, had discovered the precession +of the equinoxes, and could predict eclipses over +two thousand years before the Christian era and that in +China similar facts were known, possibly at an earlier +\index{China}% +period, would indicate that doubtless many of the astronomers +of those very ancient times had correct theories as +to the form and motions of the earth. So far as history +has left any positive record, however, Pythagoras (about +\index{Pythagoras@Pythagoras (p\u{\i}\;th\u{a}g$'$\={o}\;ras)}% +582--507~\BC), a Greek\footnote + {Sometimes called a Ph{\oe}nician.} +philosopher, seems to have been +the first to advance the idea that the earth is a sphere. +His theory being based largely upon philosophy, nothing +%% -----File: 269.png---Folio 270------- +but a perfect sphere would have answered for his conception. +He was also the first to teach that the earth +rotates\footnote + {Strictly speaking, Pythagoras seems to have taught that both + sun and earth revolved about a central fire and an opposite earth + revolved about the earth as a shield from the central fire. This rather + complicated machinery offered so many difficulties that his followers + abandoned the idea of the central fire and ``opposite earth'' and had + the earth rotate on its own axis.} +on its axis and revolves about the sun. + +Before the time of Pythagoras, Thales (about 640--546~\BC), +\index{Pythagoras@Pythagoras (p\u{\i}\;th\u{a}g$'$\={o}\;ras)}% +\index{Thales@Thales (th\={a}$'$l\={e}z)}% +and other Greek philosophers had divided the earth +into five zones, the torrid zone being usually considered +so fiery hot that it could not be crossed, much less inhabited. +Thales is quoted by Plutarch as believing that the +\index{Plutarch}% +earth is a sphere, but it seems to have been proved that +Plutarch was in error. Many of the ancient philosophers +did not dare to teach publicly doctrines not commonly +accepted, for fear of punishment for impiety. It is +possible that his private teaching was different from his +public utterances, and that after all Plutarch was right. + +Heraclitus, Plato, Eudoxus, Aristotle and many others +\index{Aristotle@Aristotle (\u{a}r$'$\u{\i}s\;tot\;l)}% +\index{Eratosthenes@Eratosthenes (\~{e}r\;\.{a}\;t\u{o}s$'$\;th\={e}\;n\={e}z)}% +\index{Heraclitus@Heraclitus (h\u{e}r\;a\;kl\={\i}$'$tus)}% +\index{Eudoxus}% +\index{Plato}% +in the next two centuries taught the spherical form of the +earth, and, perhaps, some of them its rotation. Most of +them, however, thought it not in harmony with a perfect +universe, or that it was impious, to consider the sun as +predominant and so taught the geocentric theory. + +The first really scientific attempt to calculate the size +of the earth was by Eratosthenes (about 275--195~\BC). +He was the keeper of the royal library at Alexandria, and +made many astronomical measurements and calculations +of very great value, not only for his own day but for ours +as well. Syene, the most southerly city of the Egypt of +\index{Syene, Egypt}% +his day, was situated where the sundial cast no shadow +at the summer solstice. Measuring carefully at Alexandria, +\index{Alexandria, Egypt}% +%% -----File: 270.png---Folio 271------- +he found the noon sun to be one fiftieth of the circumference +to the south of overhead. He then multiplied +the distance between Syene and Alexandria, $5,000$~stadia +\index{Stadium@Stadium (st\={a}$'$\;d\u{\i}\;um)}% +\index{Alexandria, Egypt}% +by~$50$ and got the whole circumference of the earth to be +$250,000$ stadia. The distance between the cities was not +known very accurately and his calculation probably contained +a large margin of error, but the exact length of the +Greek stadium of his day is not known\footnote + {The most reliable data seem to indicate the length of the stadium + was $606\frac{3}{4}$~feet.} +and we cannot +tell how near the truth he came. + +Any sketch of ancient geography would be incomplete +without mention of Strabo (about 54~\BC--21~\AD) who is +\index{Strabo@Strabo (str\={a}$'$b\={o})}% +sometimes called the ``father of geography.'' He believed +the earth to be a sphere at the center of the universe. +He continued the idea of the five zones, used such circles +as had commonly been employed by astronomers and +geographers before him, such as the equator, tropics, and +polar circles. His work was a standard authority for +many centuries. + +About a century after the time of Eratosthenes, Posidonius, +\index{Eratosthenes@Eratosthenes (\~{e}r\;\.{a}\;t\u{o}s$'$\;th\={e}\;n\={e}z)}% +\index{Posidonius@Posidonius (p\u{o}s$'$\u{\i}\;d\={o}\;n\u{\i}\;us)}% +a contemporary of Strabo, made another measurement, +basing his calculations upon observations of a star +instead of the sun, and getting a smaller circumference, +though that of Eratosthenes was probably too small. +Strabo, Hipparchus, Ptolemy and many others made estimates +\index{Hipparchus@Hipparchus (h\u{\i}p\;ar$'$kus)}% +\index{Ptolemy, Claudius}% +as to the size of the earth, but we have no record of +any further measurements with a view to exact calculation +until about 814~\AD{} when the Arabian caliph Al-Mamoum +\index{Al-Mamoum}% +sent astronomers and surveyors northward and southward, +carefully measuring the distance until each party found a +star to have shifted to the south or north one degree. +%% -----File: 271.png---Folio 272------- +This distance of two degrees was then multiplied by~$180$ +and the whole circumference obtained. +\index{Equator@Equator \indexglossref{Equator}!terrestrial}% + +The period of the dark ages was marked by a decline in +learning and to some extent a reversion to primitive conceptions +concerning the size, form, or mathematical properties +of the earth. Almost no additional knowledge +was acquired until early in the seventeenth century. +Perhaps this statement may appear strange to some +readers, for this was long after the discovery of America +by Columbus. It should be borne in mind that his voyage +\index{Columbus, Christopher}% +and the resulting discoveries and explorations contributed +nothing directly to the knowledge of the form or size of +the earth. That the earth is a sphere was generally +believed by practically all educated people for centuries +before the days of Columbus. The Greek astronomer +Cleomedes, writing over a thousand years before Columbus +\index{Cleomedes@Cleomedes (kl\={e}\;\u{o}m$'$\={e}\;d\={e}z)}% +was born, said that all competent persons excepting +the Epicureans accepted the doctrine of the spherical +\index{Epicureans}% +form of the earth. + +In 1615 Willebrord Snell, professor of mathematics at +\index{Snell, Willebrord}% +the University of Leyden, made a careful triangular survey +\index{Leyden, Holland}% +\index{Survey}% +of the level surfaces about Leyden and calculated +the length of a degree of latitude to be $66.73$~miles. A +recalculation of his data with corrections which he suggested +gives the much more accurate measurement of $69.07$~miles. +About twenty years later, an Englishman named +Richard Norwood made measurements and calculations +\index{Norwood, Richard}% +in southern England and gave $69.5$ as the length of a +degree of latitude, the most accurate measurement up to +that time. + +It was about 1660 when Isaac Newton (1642--1727) +\index{Newton, Isaac}% +discovered the laws of gravitation, but when he applied +\index{Gravitation}% +the laws to the motions of the moon his calculations did +%% -----File: 272.png---Folio 273------- +not harmonize with what he assumed to be the size +of the earth. About 1671 the French astronomer, Jean +\index{Picard@Picard (p\={e}\;kär$'$), Jean}% +Picard, by the use of the telescope, made very careful +measurements of a little over a degree of longitude and +obtained a close approximation to its length. Newton, +learning of the measurement of Picard, recalculated the +mass of the earth and motions of the moon and found his +law of gravitation as the satisfactory explanation of all the +conditions. Then, in 1682, after having patiently waited +over twenty years for this confirmation, he announced +the laws of gravitation, one of the greatest discoveries +in the history of mankind. We find in this an excellent +instance of the interdependence of the sciences. The +careful measurement of the size of the earth has contributed +immensely to the sciences of astronomy and physics. + +\Paragraph{{\mdseries III.} The Earth an Oblate Spheroid.}\nblabel{page:273} From the many +\index{Oblateness of earth|(}% +calculations which Newton's fertile brain could now make, +he soon was enabled to announce that the earth must be, +not a true sphere, but an oblate spheroid. Christian +Huygens, a celebrated contemporary of Newton, also contended +\index{Huygens@Huygens (h\={\i}$'$gens), Christian}% +for the oblate form of the earth, although not on +the same grounds as those advanced by Newton. + +In about 1672 the trip of the astronomer Richer to +\index{Richer@Richer (re\;sh\={a}y$'$), John}% +French Guiana, South America, and his discovery that +\index{Guiana, French}% +\index{South America}% +pendulums swing more slowly there (see the discussion +under the topic The Earth an Oblate Spheroid, p.~\pageref{page:28}), +and the resulting conclusion that the earth is not a true +sphere, but is flattened toward the poles, gave a new +impetus to the study of the size of the earth and other +mathematical properties of it. + +Over half a century had to pass, however, before the +true significance of Richer's discovery was apparent to +all or generally accepted. An instance of a commonly +%% -----File: 273.png---Folio 274------- +accepted reason assigned for the shorter equatorial pendulum +is the following explanation which was given to +James~II of England when he made a visit to the Paris +\index{Paris, France}% +\index{James II., King of England}% +\index{England}% +Observatory in 1697. ``While Jupiter at times appears +\index{Jupiter}% +to be not perfectly spherical, we may bear in mind the +fact that the theory of the earth being flattened is sufficiently +disproven by the circular shadow which the earth +throws on the moon. The apparent necessary shortening +of the pendulum toward the south is really only a correction +for the expansion of the pendulum in consequence of +the higher temperature.'' It is interesting to note that if +this explanation were the true one, the average temperature +at Cayenne would have to be $43°$~above the boiling +point. + +\index{Proofs, form of earth}% +Early in the eighteenth century Giovanni Cassini, the +astronomer in charge of the Paris Observatory, assisted by +his son, continued the measurement begun by Picard and +\index{Picard@Picard (p\={e}\;kär$'$), Jean}% +came to the conclusion that the earth is a prolate spheroid. +A warm discussion arose and the Paris Academy of +Sciences decided to settle the matter by careful measurements +in polar and equatorial regions. + +In 1735 two expeditions were sent out, one into Lapland +\index{Lapland}% +and the other into Peru. Their measurements, while +\index{Peru}% +not without appreciable errors, showed the decided difference +of over half a mile for one degree and demonstrated +conclusively the oblateness of a meridian and, as Voltaire +\index{Voltaire}% +wittily remarked at the time, ``flattened the poles and +the Cassinis.'' +\index{Cassini@Cassini (käs\;s\={e}$'$n\={e}), G. D., and J.}% + +The calculation of the oblateness of the earth has occupied +the attention of many since the time of Newton.

If centrifugal force were sometimes greater at the +equator and sometimes at the poles, there would be a corresponding +shifting of the accumulated waters and we +should have a tide---and it would be an immense one. +But we know that this unbalanced force does not change +its position, and hence it cannot produce a tide. + +(\textit{b}) Exactly the same course of reasoning applies to the +unbalanced force of gravity at the equator due to its +greater distance from the center of gravity. The position +of this unbalanced force does not shift, and no tide results. + +Since the earth turns on its axis under the sun and +moon, any unbalanced forces they may produce will necessarily +shift as different portions of the earth are successively +turned toward or from them. Our problem, then, +%% -----File: 290.png---Folio 291------- +is to find the cause and direction of the unbalanced forces +produced by the moon or sun. + +\includegraphicsmid{i290}{Fig.~114} + +In Figure~\figureref{i290}{114}, let $CA$~be the acceleration toward the +\index{Acceleration@Acceleration \indexglossref{Acceleration}|(}% +moon at~$C$, due to the moon's attraction. Let $BD$~be +the acceleration at~$B$. Now $B$~is nearer the moon than~$C$, +so $BD$~will be greater than~$CA$, since the attraction +varies inversely as the square of the distance. + +From $B$ construct~$BE$ equal to~$CA$. Comparing forces +$BE$ and~$BD$, the latter is greater. Completing the parallelogram, +we have~$BFDE$. Now it is a simple demonstration +in physics that if two forces act upon~$B$, one to~$F$ and +the other to~$E$, the resultant of the two forces will be the +diagonal~$BD$. Since $BE$ and~$BF$ combined result in~$BD$, +it follows that $BF$~represents the unbalanced force at~$B$. + +At $B$, then, there is an unbalanced force as compared +with~$C$ as represented by~$BF$. At~$B'$ the unbalanced +force is represented by~$B'F'$. Note the \emph{pulling direction} +in which these unbalanced forces are exerted. + +\begin{SmallText} +\textsc{Note.}---For purposes of illustration the distance of the moon +represented in the figures is greatly diminished. The distance~$CA$ is +taken arbitrarily, likewise the distance~$BD$. If~$CA$ were longer, +however, $BD$~would be still longer; and while giving $CA$ a different +length, would modify the form of the diagram, the mathematical relations +would remain unchanged. Because of the short distance given~$CM$ +in the figures, the difference between the $BF$ in Figure~\figureref{i290}{114} and $BF$ +in Figure~\figureref{i291-1}{115} is greatly exaggerated. The difference between the +unbalanced or tide-producing force on the side toward the moon and +that on the opposite side is approximately $.0467\,BF$ (Fig.~\figureref{i290}{114}). +\end{SmallText} +%% -----File: 291.png---Folio 292------- + +\includegraphicsmid{i291-1}{Fig.~115} + +In Figure~\figureref{i291-1}{115}, $B$~is farther from the moon than~$C$, hence +$BE$ (equal to~$CA$) is greater than~$BD$, and the unbalanced +force at~$B$ is~$BF$, directed away from the moon. A study +of Figures \figureref{i290}{114}~and~\figureref{i291-1}{115} will show that the unbalanced force +on the side towards the moon ($BF$~in Fig.~\figureref{i290}{114}) is slightly +greater than the unbalanced force on the side opposite the +moon ($BF$~in Fig.~\figureref{i291-1}{115}).

The ancients, +observing the apparent fixity of all the stars excepting the +seven changing ones of the zodiac---the sun, moon, and +five planets known to them---endowed this belt and its +seven presiding deities with special guardianship of the +earth, giving us seasons, with varying length of day and +change of weather; bringing forth at its will the sprouting +of plants and fruitage and harvest in their season; counting +off inevitably the years that span human life; bringing +days of prosperity to some and of adversity to others; +and marking the wars and struggles, the growth and +decay of nations. With such a background of belief, at +once their science and their religion, it is not strange that +when a child was born the parents hastened to the astrologer +to learn what planet or star was in the ascendancy, +that is, most prominent during the night, and thus learn +in advance what his destiny would be as determined from +the character of the star that would rule his life. + +The moon in its monthly path around the earth must +\index{Moon or satellite@Moon or satellite\phantomsection\label{idx:m}}% +pass through the twelve signs of the zodiac in $29\frac{1}{2}$~days or +spend about $2\frac{1}{2}$~days to each sign. During the blight of +intelligence of the dark ages, some mediæval astrologer +conceived the simple method of subdividing the human +body into twelve parts to correspond to the twelve constellations +of the zodiac. Beginning with the sign Aries, +\index{Aries@Aries (\u{a}$'$r\u{\i}\;\={e}z), constellation!sign of zodiac}% +he dedicated that to the head, the neck he assigned to +%% -----File: 297.png---Folio 298------- +Taurus, the arms were given over to Gemini, the stars of +\index{Gemini}% +\index{Taurus}% +Cancer were to rule the breast, the heart was presided +over by Leo, and so on down to Pisces which was to rule +\index{Leo}% +the feet. Now anyone who was born when the moon was in +Aries would be strong in the head, intellectual; if in Taurus, +\index{Aries@Aries (\u{a}$'$r\u{\i}\;\={e}z), constellation!sign of zodiac}% +he would be strong in the neck and self-willed, etc. Moreover, +since the moon makes a circuit of the signs of the +zodiac in a month, according to his simple scheme when +the moon is in Aries the head is especially affected; then +diseases of the head rage (or is it then that the head +is stronger to resist disease?), and during the next few days +when the moon is in Taurus, beware of affections of the +\index{Moon or satellite@Moon or satellite\phantomsection\label{idx:m}}% +neck, and so on down the list. The very simplicity of this +scheme and ease by which it could be remembered led to +its speedy adoption by the masses who from time immemorial +have sought explanations of various phenomena +by reference to celestial bodies. + +Now there is no astronomical or geographical necessity +\index{Myths and superstitions of the zodiac}% +for considering Aries as the first sign of the zodiac. Our +year begins practically with the advent of the sun into +Capricorn---the beginning of the year was made January~1 +for this very purpose. The moon is not in any peculiar +position in relation to the earth March~21 any more than +it is December~23. If when the calendar was revised the +numbering of the signs of the zodiac had been changed +also, then Capricorn, the divinities of which now rule the +\index{Capricorn, constellation of!sign of zodiac}% +\emph{knees}, would have been made to rule the \emph{head}, and the +whole artificial scheme would have been changed!

Unless you +chance to live upon the meridian which gives standard +time to the belt in which you are, the noon line will be +somewhat to the east or west of north. + +This sundial will record the apparent solar time of the +meridian upon which the clock time is based.

It is usually +indicated by the minus sign when the apparent sun is faster than +the mean sun and with the plus sign when the apparent time is +slow. The apparent sun time combined with the equation of time +gives the mean time; \textit{e.g.}, by the apparent sun it is $10$~h.\ $30$~m., the +equation is $- 2$~m.\ (sun fast $2$~m.), combined we get $10$~h.\ $28$~m., +the mean sun time.

If the eye is above the surface, the curvature of +the earth makes it possible to see beyond the true horizon. The +angle formed, because of the curvature of the earth, between the +true horizon and the visible horizon is called the \emph{dip} of the +horizon. + +\Subgloss{Visible horizon}, the place where the earth and sky seem to meet. +At sea if the eye is near the surface of the water the true horizon +and the visible horizon are the same, since water levels and forms +a right angle to the plumb line. + +\Gloss{Hour-circles}, great circles of the celestial sphere extending from pole +to pole, so called because they are usually drawn every $15°$ or one +for each of the twenty-four hours of the day.

INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. +\end{verbatim} + +% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % +% % +% End of Project Gutenberg's Mathematical Geography, by Willis E.
