moon which deserves to be noticed. The ellipticity of the earth's orbit is slowly diminishing ; so that it is becoming Fig. 6. more and more nearly circular and its area is becoming great er every year. As a consequence the earth tends to draw the moon nearer and nearer to itself and causes it to describe a constantly diminishing orbit. The end of this might be t pull the moon down upon the earth. The change is how ever so exceedingly small that we need not entertain any, scientific american, 1876-05-13
