Show ASTRONOMY STILL AT FAULT Men of Science Forced in r.umit E'xact Results From Their Calculations Are Not Possible. The rrlchrntt'd observatory at Orern Ich. the place from which we reckon longitude, wns founded by Charles 11 In 1117.1, nial uly for thu purpose of In vestlgutlng the mineinenlu of the moon In the Interests of navigation, Although In the Intem-iilni: two anil u half ceil is i. ;.i.iiii.....,; I.. no .o.:...l at t.i problem, the moon has not jet become entirely iiiiieiinhlu to their mathematics, mathemat-ics, in a recent report of the obser-Mitory obser-Mitory nt (reeii"lcli attention Is In-lled In-lled to the Increasing devliitln between be-tween the calculated position of the moon In the sky and Its real position shown by the (Ireenwlch observations. The deviation hum lately been growing In n serious manner. The error last year was more than twelve times in large n-t the eirnr twenty years ago, nnd the nverngo annual Increase dur. lug the two decadoH has amounted to half n second of arc lu longitude, The reason that ustronomers have fulled In getting exact results from calculations calcula-tions linsvd on the dynamical laws ot gravitation Is. possibly the existence of some attractive force Hint they have, not jet dlse-ivered, although the result limy nlso bf nlTected by the Into sluipe of the earth, which still awaits accurate ac-curate (lotcivilmitlou.
