It's not the lens, it is inside Abbyy. I OCR'd the

The difference depends on whether FR rotates the image by
2 degrees before the recognition starts.

For
comparison, here's my undeskewed cut-and-paste abbyy
read of the self-same
page. Perhaps their lens was dirty ...
EUREKA
115
come the eight Asteroids (Ceres,
Juno, Vesta,
Pallas, Astræa, Flora, Iris, and
Hebe) at an
average distance of about 250
millions. Then we
have Jupiter, distant 490
millions; then Saturn,
900 millions; then Uranus, 19
hundred millions;
finally Neptune, lately
discovered, and revolving
at a distance, say of 28 hundred
millions. Leav-
ing Neptune out of the
account—of which as yet
we know little accurately and
which is, possibly,
one of a system of Asteroids—it
will be seen that,
within certain limits, there
exists an order of
interval among the planets.
Speaking loosely,
we may say that each outer
planet is twice as
far from the Sun as is the next
inner one. May
not the order here mentioned—may
not the law
of Bode—he deduced from
consideration of the
analogy suggested by me as
having place between
the solar discharge of rings and
the mode of the
atomic irradiation?
The numbers hurriedly mentioned
in this sum-
mary of distance, it is folly to
attempt compre-
hending, unless in the light of
abstract arithmet-
ical facts. They are not
practically tangible
ones. They convey no precise
ideas. I have
stated that Neptune, the planet
farthest from
the Sun, revolves about him at a
distance of 2S
hundred millions of miles. So
far good:—I
have stated a mathematical fact;
and, without
comprehending it in the least,
we may put it to
use—mathematically. But in
mentioning, even,
that the Moon revolves about the
Earth at the
comparatively trifling distance
of 237,000 miles,
I entertained no expectation of
giving any one
