NYSTERIES l
The Nervous System' the Seat
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries.
No mystery has ever compared with that of
human life. It has been the leading subJect
. of professional research and study in all ages.
But. notwithstanding this fact it is not gener-
., _ ally known
' that the seat
of life is loca-
ted in the u -
per part of t ie
spinal c O r (1,
near the base
of the b r a i n .
and so sensi-
tive is t h i 3
portion of the
nervous sys-
tem that even
the rick of a.
nee is w i ll
to.
{S
cause instant
death.
Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the Organs (if-the body-are under the con-
trol of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that. when these are
deranged the organs which thev supply With
nerve fluid are also deranged. \ hen it is. re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
.;he injured point. because the nerve force is '
prevented by the injury from reaching the
aral zed portion, it wil be understood how
.he (orangement of the nerve centers Will
cause the derangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
‘uhe base of the brain, not from a. derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it-
self. The great mistake of physimans ‘in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
Di}. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialist-has profoundly studied this subJect for
over 20 years, and has made many 1m ortant
discoveries in connect-ion with it. chie among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement. and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wron . All headache, dizzi-
ness. dullness. con usion. pressure. blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, egilepsy. St.
Vitus dance, etc. are nervous iseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact that it is based on the foregoing princgile.

HOW FAR 1S_Tfi9E"1iSiw
ON THE PROBLEM.
Results of Observations Made by the Coast.
Survey at the Sandwich Islands—The Dis-
tance to the Sun In Something Like Nine-
ty-flve Million Miles, More or Less.
A little new light has recently been
thrown on the problem of the distance
of the sun. This is the great yardstick
of astronomy. For more than a. century
every effort has been made to ascertain
the distance as accurately as possible.
Methods direct and indirect have been
employed. Considering the fact that the
knowledge thus sedulously pursued can
serve no utilitarian purpose, the gener-
ous expenditure in the pursuit does
credit to the intellectual aspirations of
the human race. From the time of Cap-
tain Cook’s expedition to the Society is-
lands to observe the transit of Venus in
1769 until the present day millions of
dollars have been spent in this effort to
‘drOp a. sounding line to the sun.
Copernicus believed that the Sim was
not more than 5, 000,000 miles away.
There were philosophers before the
Christian era. who knew as much as
that. For several years past we have
been assured that the distance could not
be far from 92, 800, 000 miles. But :11-
most a century ago Laplace assumed a
parallax for the sun which gave almost
exactly that distance. Since his time
various astronomers have attacked the
problem, and their results have varied
from 91,000,000 to 95, 250,000 miles,
the difference between these extreme es-
timates being nearly as great as the en-
tire distance was believed to be by the
formders of astronomy.
Yet- these facts carry no challenge to
the soundness of modern astronomical
methods or the substantial correctness of
the results attained by them. The dis-
tance Of the sun is not yet knOwn with
absolute accuracy, for the same reason
that the height of Mount St. Elias or of
Mount Everest has not yet been exactly
ascertained. But the limits of error are
.knowu, and in the future we shall not-
see estimates of the smi's distance vary
ing by millions Of miles. It a series of
wires should be cut, each agreeing in
length with one of the rodent measures
of the solar parallax, and all should then
be stretched from the earth toward the
sun, every one of them Would end in the
Sim, though none might stop precisely
at its cent-er.
As to the recent light upon this prob-
lem, it is furnished by the results of ob-
servations by the United States coast sur-
vey at the Sandwich Islands to deter-
mine the constant of aberration of the
stars. By this is meant the amomit of
displacement that the stars undergo in
consequence of the fact that we are look
ing at them from a globe which is not
standing still, but is moving in an orbit
around the sun at the rate of about 181.
miles in a second. Light travels 188,~
330 miles in a second. The ratio of the
velocity of the. flying earth to that of
light measures the displacement in the
position of the stars that is called their
aberration. But, manifestly, if we can
learn precisely hm ’ far the earth travels
in a. second, we shall know just how
long its orbit is. \Ve know that the earth
takes one year, or, more exactly, 31, 558, -
150 seconds, to go 011cc around that'or-
bit. If, then, we can find out with rig-
orous accuracy how far it- gocs in a sec.-
ond, we can at once calculate not only
the length of the orbit, but the distance
of the sun, which depends directly upon
the size of the orbit. Of course allow-
ance must be made for the fact that the
orbit, instead of being a circle, is an
ellipse, and that consequently the earth’s
rate of traveling varies a little. But
mathematics take care .of that.
Now, we have seen that the displace-
ment, or aberration, of the stars fur-
nishes a means of determining the ratio
pf the earth’s velocity in its orbit to the
known velocity of light. If that aberra-
tion is acourately measured, it must
give, by a. simple calculation, the veloc-
ity of the earth and the distance of the
sun. The aberration as ascertained at
the Sandwich Islands is slightly smaller
than previous measurement-s had made
it. It amounts to 20.433 seconds of are.
This gives for the average velocity of
the earth in its orbit 18. 4582 miles in a
second, and for the distance of the Sun
92, 709, 000 miles. The distance derived
from the observation of the transit of
Venus in 1874 was about 620,000 miles
lem than this, while that calculated
from the transit of 1882 was about 190, -
000 miles greater. But Laplace’s value
of the solar parallax, adopted by him in
1799, gives a. distance differing by only
80,000 or 90,000 miles from that shown
by the calculation based on the new
constant of aberration. So Laplace was
probably nearer to the truth than many
of the later astronomers have been.
It is evident that the final solution of
the great problem has not even yet been
obtained. There is an uncertainty of
perhaps as much as 100,000 miles still
remaining. Since the distance of the
sun forms abase line for calculating the
distance of the stars, an error of 100,000
miles in that base line would make a
difi‘erencc of nearly 30, 000, 000, 000 miles
in the calculated distance of the nearest
fixed star in the sky. It is for the as-
tronomers of the future, then, to deter-
mine the real dimensions of the uni-
verse, if they can. For our part, We
must be content to know that they are
great almost beyond the power of math-
ematics to express and certainly be-
yond the power of imagination to con-
ceive—New York Sun.
