New Invention Shows Movements of Solar System. A wonderful machine has just been perfected by Diego Arzic, a mechanical engineer from Chicago, which will enable scientists and students to determine the position of the Sun moon or the Earth in hundred thousand years from today. This mechanical solar system represents the Sun, at the right, the Moon in the center and the earth and the left of the picture. The complete machine is made of steel and is mounted on a steel platform 9feet in diameter. The machine will record the following movements, all of which are regulated by a clock which shows central standard time. That evolution of the Earth around the Sun, completing a revolution in one sideral year. Earth's axis is 23.0 27' inclined toward the elliptic and traveling around the Sun always keeping the inclination in the same direction (toward the celestial pool); the orbit is of the elliptical form and divided into 24 hours, and in turn each other in 60 minutes, so that the right ascens
