SKRVIBS "Will you kindly inform me what; constitutes the Equinox? In what! degree and minute of the Zodiac j was the Equinox on January 1, j 1919? -What is its motion per an num I have seen the statement that it is in the twenty-eighth! degree of Aquarius, while others! contend that it is in the second de-| gree of Pisces. We have had a! discussion about it lit our club and , decided to leave it to you."—F. is. j San Francisco. There are two Equinoxes, or equi noctial points, the Vernal equinox, and the Autumnal equinox, and they) are defined as the points where the) sun crosses the equator, going north ; in the Spring and south in (he Fall, j Tn speaking simply of "4lie M|iil-j nox" the reference 13 usually to the Vernnl equinox, otherwise known as; the first of the Aries, because-its j place is at the beginning of the zodiacal sign Aries, its place in the| circle of the zodiacal signs not! change: it remains always at the! first point of Aries. Its place among; the stars would also remain fixed; but for the phenomenon, called the; procession of the equinoxes, which is due to the attraction of the sun and ; the moon, causing the oblately spher-i oidal earth to swing its axis of rola-| tion slowly around like a gyro-j scope. This motion makes the poles of the earth revolve around the poles | of the ecliptic once in about 25,800 ( years, or at an annual rate of about 50 1-5 seconds of arc, the direction \ of revolution as related to the earth's motion around the sun. Tn consequence of this Revolu tion of the poles, (lie two opposite! points where the equator intersects! the ecliptic (the plane of the earth's) path around the sun-, or in other 1 words the equinoxes move slowly | westward around the circuit of the: ecliptic at the same angular rale; as ihat of the poles, viz., about j 50 1-5 seconds of arc per annum.! This is called the procession of the! equinoxes, the word "procession"! being used because the equinoxes seem to move as If to meet the sun. | 1 "When the zodiac— of which the j Crown Princess of Rumania Is Reported in Flight jbi j Grown Princess Elizabeth, who, with her mother, Queen Marie of Rumania, is reported to have fled from Bucharest to England. The Queen, who was a loyal supporter of-the Allied cause throughout the war. was Princess Marie of Edinburgh, a granddaughter of Queen Vic toria. Princess Elizabeth has been mentioned as a possible bride for the Prince of Wales. ecliptic and not the equator is the central line—was first divided into its twelve "signs"—Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius,, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces, the series run ning around eastward —each of them fitted a corresponding group of stars called a constellation, and ihe sun seemed to travel through the whole twelve of them once a year. But as the centuries rolled on, observers of the sky found that the constellations were continually drifting away eastward from their proper places in the framework of the signs, or else that the signs were sliding westward over the stars. This, of course, was an un forseen effect of the precesslonal movement described above. But you may ask how it was possible to detect Ihe separation of the signs from the costellations the later only being visible, by virtue DAY LIGHT SA VI NG STATUTE WINS SENATORIAL SUPPORT The Telegraph's campaign for the retention of the daylight saving law is bearing fruit. Daylight saving will not fail if Congressman Kreider and Senator Penrose can prevent. The Chamber of Commerce yester day heard from Congressman Kreid er very decidedly on the subject, saying lie would do Ills utmost to prevent the repeal of 1 lie law. To-day Senator Penrose wrote to John Heatlicote, who wired him when he read iu the iiurriaburg Tel of their stars, while the former were simply imaginary compartments of empty space. It.was possible be cause of the fact, already mentioned, that the First of Aries, or the Ver nal Equinox, has always marked the point where the sun crosses the equator coming north in the Spring, and the location of that point Is a matter of observation. Since, because o fthe procession the point slowly shifts its place among the stars, by following that place through actual observation of the movement of tlie sun, the location of the imaginary First of Aries can lie, and is, ascertained. The time of the equinox being approximately known in advance for any year, it is only necessary io observe tlie declination of the sun shortly before and after that time in order to deduce the in stant when it must be exactly upon the equator. The position of tlie center of the sun in Ihe sky egraph that the act was in danger, telling him that lie would endeavor to have the law retained. In his letter he said: "I am heartily in favor of the retention of the daylight saving law. 1 shall do what I can to _ prevent its repeal.'' It is now important for Harris burgers to address Senator Philan der C. ivnox and llie Pennsylvania Congressmen-at-Large, Thomas S. Crago, Joseph McLaughlin and Malilon M. Garland. Congreasional Oiiice building, Washington, C* C, SPANISH WAR HEROES AREFEW Death Is Taking Toll of Men Who Made Famous Names (New York Times) The death of Lieutenant General John C. Bates, U. S. A., retired, in California reduced the number of distinguished veterans of the war with Spain to a very small band indeed. General Shatter, command er of the expeditionary force in Cuba, succumbed early. During the campaign he contracted malarial fever, calentura perniciosa, as the Cubans call It, and was never a sound man again. General Jacob Ford Kent, who commanded tha First Infantry Division, died at Troy on December 22, 1918, at the ripe age of eighty-three. General Lawton, commander of the Second Infantry Division, paid for his scorn of the Filipino as an enemy. While carelessly exposing himself he was killed by a sharpshooter. General Joseph Wheeler of the dismounted cavalry division, i after proving his loyalty and love of country by in trepid leadership in Cuba and the Philippines, passed away in this city tn 1906. Of the brigade command ers in the Santiago compaign Gen eral Hamilton S. Hawkins, who led the infantry to the capture of San Juan Hill and was shot through the foot before reaching the crest, died in 1910. General Adna R. Chaf fee, who was Lawton's lieutenant in the taking of Caney, lived to see Joffre defeat the Germans in the first battle of the Marne, dying in California on November 1, 1914. General W r illiam Ludlow, one of the most esteemed men in the army— he commanded the First Brigade of the Second Infantry Division at Caney— was a victim of tubercu losis at Convent, New Jersey, In 1901. General John F. Weston, the Chief Commissary of the expedition, died in the Bronx two years ago. He, like General Shafter, never recovered entirely from Cuban ma laria, although he ended his career as commander of the army in the Philippines and lived for several years after reaching the retirement age. At Caney General Bates, who has just passed over to the majority commanded an independent brigade. Lieutenant General S. B. M. Young, who helped Wheeler to win the first fight at Guasimas, is now living in Washington. Although seventy-nine, he is still active and useful. From 1909 to 1917 he served as Governor of the Soldiers' Home, and at the present time he is coni s mander in chief of the Military Or | der of the Loyal Legion. General { Nelson A. Miles, who commanded j the expedition to Porto Rico, on | his way calling at Santiago to give Shafter the benefit of his experience, is also living in Washington. By a year he is the senior of General Young. General Wesley Merritt, who commanded the land forces in the (Philippines in the war with Spain and later was a member of the Peace Conference, died in 1910. His able lieutenant. General Arthur Mac Arthur, who put down the Philippine rebellion, died in 1912. All these soldiers were veterans of the Civil War, and most of them wero still in the prime of life when war was declared upon Spain. Miles commanded an army corps at -twen ty-five in the conflict between tlie states, and before Lee surrendered at Appomattox Joseph Wheeler, al though under thirty, was ranking General in the Confederate cavalry and a famous soldier. Shafter, Wes ton. und Mac Arthur won the Medal iit Honor by extraordinary gallantry in the Civil War. .Young, who rose to be a Lieutenant General in the regular army, enlisted as a private tn 1861. Chaffee also began at the I very bottom and reached the same rank. Both became Chief of Staff. The late General Bates retired up on his own application in 1906, after | forty years of sefVice. He was Chief I of Staff at the time. For two years' he commanded districts in Mind anao. Jolo, and Southern Luzon, showing much executive ability. To • him as to all of his comrades of rank in Cuba, the Santiago cam paign was more of an adventure, with a touch of the romantic in it. than the ordeal of war. They all made comparisons with the stirring and perilous times of the Civil War. At Caney the casualties of Bates's brigade were three killed and ten wounded, but it was in support, not in the thick of the fighting. Twelve hundred covered the entire losses of the Fifth Corps, which had a strength of about 15,000 men. The American force had only four light batteries in the field in addition to four gatling guns and one pneu matic dvnamite gun. The only ob ject in the a'r remotely like an air plane was the buzzard, and there was no lack of that ill-favored and gluttonous bird. Looking back, it is hard to believe that an American army could have been so ill equip ped. even in that day. But the reg ulars themselves were glorious— never was there a finer American arniv physically, the very flower of the ration. If the weapons in the hands of the enem\< were no heifer a"d the casualty list was not heavy, the army was exposed to a nllrin'n that caused a long sick list and would have made fearful havoc in iti? ra"hs had it not been with er,T--< w'thin sixty days of the sur render of Toral. at that Instant marks.the equi nocllal point and can be deduced by comparing the sun's right as cension with that of some chosen ■tar. At noon on January 1. 1919, Greenwich mean time, the right ascension of the sun was eighteen hours and forty minutes, or, trans lating time into degrees, 11 was 2&0 degrees east of the Vernal Equinox, and only had SO degrees farther to go around the circle in order to overtake the equinox. The sun was then in the constellation Sagiltar ' ius. the equinox being In the west | part of the costellntion Pisces. I But the constellation figures have !-uo definite, or fixed, outlines, and ! astronomers do not use them to de | scribe the positions of any of the | fundamental points in the sky. As drawn on some charts. Aqua rius projects so far eastward under Pisces that the meridian line drawn through the equinox might pass within its border. But it Is In the constellation Pisces, with no bright star near, that the actual equinoctial po'nt falls. Tn the year 2290 B. C. the equinox was near the Pleiades, but since ♦hat time tt has conn ert'mlv C'-oss the constellation Aries, and two-thlr~ across Piscs, but It will rot cross into Aquarius until after the lapse of about 1000 >ears.
