Till within a few years past the accuracy of this determination was not called io Question. So lately a 1854, Dr. Lardner, in hi Hand book of Astronomy, affirmed that Encke's value tof the distance Could not vary from the truth by more than its three hundredth part. Quite recently, however, astronomers have been led, by various considerations, to regard the distance as somewhat too great, and hence the result of the observations io December, 1874, with the, improved instruments of modern construction, have been looked for with a lively interest. The discuesicn of these observations has, not yet been completed. It is known, how-Ivethat the resulting value of the un's horiiontal parallax .cannot differ materially from eight seconds hundredths of a and eighty-seve- n eCond This corresponds to a mean We distance of 01,765,000 miles. sun the to by are, therefore, nearer ,423,000 miles than was believed but a few years since.
