Why Summer Is a Week Longer Than Winter VntUua Bltcli of the Elliptical hj" •( the Ochlt of the Berth S •( the Varlatleas la Its eed as It Travels Around the a-—Bat Leag Winters Are (.'ore lag. By GARRETT P. SERVISS. In a recent article I note you give the dates of the equinoxes as March -1 and September S3. This mages the spring and summer seven days long er than the autumn and winter: Will you please explain why this happens? Is the distance from the equator to Caprleen that much great er than to Cancer? Or Is the north pole enough heavier than the Ao'uth polo to eause the latter to swing the greater distance? Were the distances fhovild not the equnoxes be exaetly half Way . between tlio equator and the solstlees and so di vide the year Into fiour equal parts? . A, N. BABCOCK, The best way to understand the origin of the difference to which you r f* e r is to consider the year as di vided into two parts—a summer half tt "<l ft winter hair, the summer half or the year for tne northern hemis phere, extending from the Vernal, or spring epulnex to the Autumnal equi nox, ftnd the winter hklf from the autumnal equinox to the Vernal equi nox. , V url ? 'he summer half the sun IS north of the equator, and during the winter h&lf it Is south of the equator. Now, the dates of the equl no*? beln ß respectively March 20 °r "I for the Vernal and September -3 or 23 for the Autumnal (the ad °' thß calendar make them slightly Variable!, It follows as you have hotlced, that the Bummer half Is a Week longer than the winter half, How does this difference arise? Not, as you suggest from any dif ference In distance of the two tropi cal circles from the equator, or from any wobllng of the axis of the earth, but from the elliptical form of the earths orbit and from the varying speed of the earth In its motion around the sun, the .variation being a consequence of the elliptical form of the orbit, , Tli length of the orbit Is nearly 138,000,000 miles, and the sun, which occupies the point around which the earth revolves is situated In one of the foci of the ellipse, about 1,500,000 miles from the centre measured along the major axis. If, then, a per pendicular to the major axis of the eclipse be drawn through the sun It will divide the orblb Into two halves, one slightly larger than the other. But because the orbit Is Inclined to the plane of the equator the points where It crosses that plane must lie on the perpendicular just described. Now, these points are the equinoxes, sines the plane of the orbit Is iden tical with that of the ecliptic, or the apparent yearly path of the sun through the constellations. It follows that the line Joining the equinoxes divides the yearly path of the e&cth Into two slightly unequal halves, and I that being so, the earth has q short er distance to travel In describing the half of Its orbit which 1s nearest the sun than In describing the other half. This alone would make a slight difference of length between the win ter and summer portions of the year. But the difference Is greatly Increas ed by the fact that the speed of the earth varies Inversely with- Its dis tance from the sun, so that when It is in the part of Its orbit which lies on that side of the center of the eclipse where the gun is, it must travel fast er than when it Is In the opposite part. Tn fact, when the earth Is nearest the sun it travels about 18.7 miles per second, and when It is farthest from the sun about 18.3 miles per second. The motion of the sarth be ing reflected In an apparent motion of the sun, the latter appear to travel about one minute of arc more than a degree per day when the earth is nearest, and about three minutes of arc less than a degree per day when the earth Is farthest. One thing more is needed to com plete the explanation. It, so happens that at the present time (and not much change will occur for thous ands of years), the earth Is nearest the sun when winter prevails In the northern hemisphere, and farthest from the sun when summer prevails in the same hemisphere. The result of this state of affairs, combined with what has been said above, is that our winters are about seven days shorter, than our summers, counting winter from the Autumnal to the Vernal equinox and summer from the Vernal to the Autumnal equinox. The week of difference represents what Is gained by the relative short ness of the half of the orbit nearest the sun and the increased speed of the earth in traversing that part of the orbit. ' In the southern hemisphere exact ly the opposite state of affairs pre vails, the winter belonging to the longer and the summer to the short er half of the year, as divided by the equinoxes. But, owing to a combi nation of two causes, one the Pre cession of the equinoxes, which makes the poles of the earth's axis revolve around the poles of the ec liptic, In a period of about 26,000 years, and the other a revolution of the major axis of the eftrth'a orbit, which takes place in a period of 108,- 000 years (in a direction oposite to the Precession), the prosent situation will be reversed in about 10,500 years, and then It will be the northern hem isphere that will have winter longer than summer, and the Icy wlndp of February may whistle a sharper tune over our drifted hills than any that historic generations have shrunk from. Liberty Fuel Far From Making Good Washington. —"Liberty fuel," the, new product which It had been promised by Its Inventors and pro moters would ultimately replace gasoline as the principal fuel of com bustion engines, has hardly reached a stage of development which will guarantee any the brilliant an nouncements sent over the country a month ago. The War Department, the Navy Department, the Bureau of , Mines and Bureau of Standards have striv en with the fuel, both In laboratory and practical tests in vehicles and aeroplanes, to ascertain how nearly performances of the fuel meet the promises of the promoters. The re sult is disappointing, although it cannot yet be said that they are con clusive. The following review of findings of the Fuel Administration Investigators was made public: "Tests made in the aeronautic laboratories of the United States Army and places at the disposal of the Fuel Administration resulted In Information that the fuel was made up of "approximately 65 per qent. of bensol, 26 to 80 per cent, of kero sene and the remainder of a small percentage of ardyl acetate and probably n&pthalene and alcohol, together with perhaps small quanti ties of dissolved solids and other volatile liquids as yet undetermined." Ben sol Chief Component "On this analysis It was pointed out that available supply of tne fuel must depend on the available supply of benzol, Its chief constituent. .In vestigation In this direction showed that the total percentage of Liberty fuel would be about 2 per cent, of the present output of gasoline, which Is approximately 90,000,000 barrels a year, Benzol, however, has other uses, notably In grease extraction and as a solvent for rubber. "A gumming and corrosion test, also conducted In the aeronautic laboratories of the army, showed no perceptible corrosion, but 'a tre mendous amount of gumming, 1, e„ .04 per cent.% accompanied by ex tensive fuming and penetrating ndor?
