A TRIP TO THE MOON.
TO THK EDITOR. Sib, — I bob on reading over " A Trip to the Moon," that) there is an error m it, which I expect must be mine. I therefore proceed to correct it, In speaking of the ) Moon as being the beau ideal as the site for an observatory, owinsr to the freedom from at*nospheriq inflmncep, aberration is mentioned as being one of the results of such influences. £ can't think how I managed to class it so, as it is an error m observations, not due to atmospherio influences at all, but to the influence of the earth* movement m her orbit, corn* hinod with the appreciable time taken by light m travelling long distance?. I am, etc., A. Ireland.
