The earth's rotation causes the inhabitants of New York to move through about sixteen thousand miles a day; the earth's revolution round the sun takes them on a journey of about three hundred million miles every year; the sun's proper motion causes them to approach the constellation Herucles by several miles in every second. But all this fails to content them. It is not enough to move relatively to the fixed stars; they must move also relatively to Broadway.
