Bellefonte, Pa., February 11, 1910. NEBULA HYPOTHESIS. Everybody has heard the phrase, the nebula hypothesis, but what is it? In a few words this is the meaning of “nebula hypothesis: That the sun, the planets and all that is in them that science has dared to make, ever, takes us one step further {Without mentioning the origin of ter itself science conceives tha beginning all matter was uniformly there were no stars, no planets, no satellites, but that all space was filled with the matter we now have divided up into very fine particles some dis- tance spart. The consistency of such material was perforce very thin in- deed, much more rarefied than the highest vacuum we can obtain now by air pumps. From this state to the nebulous state the theory has a miss- ing link, one that can only be satisfied by supposing divine command, for it assumes, in the words of Professor Todd, that “gradually centers of at- traction formed and these centers pull ed in toward themselves other parti- cles. As a result of the inward fall- ing of matter toward these centers, the collision of its particles and their fric- tion upon each other the material masses grew hotter and hotter. Nebu- lae seeming to fill the entire heavens were formed—luminous fire mist, like the filmy objects still seen in the sky, though vaster and exceedingly numer- ous.” This process Is supposed to have gone on for countiess ages, faster in some regions than in others, Many million nebulae were formed and set in rotation around their own axes. This happily can be explained by science. Whenever particles are attracted to- ward a center and are kept from fall- fng directly to this center a whirlpool is formed. rotating in one direction. An exaniple of this, though humble and not exactly analogous, is the rota- tion of water in a basin when the stop- per is pulied out of the bottom. Gravi- ty attracts the water immediately above the hole, which starts flowing out, thus leaving a space to be filled. The rest of the water rushes in from all sides to do this, and the whirlpool is the result. Now each of these whirling nebulae became exceedingly hot, and each formed what is known as a star or sun, our sun being one. The earth and other planets had not then come into separate existence, of course, as it is supposed that they were thrown off later from the sun. Our sun in its nebulous form and ro- tating swiftly on its axis gradually flattened ut its poles on account of centrifugal motion. This phenomenon is entirely fumiliar to those who have seen a hall of clay on a potter's wheel gradually fiatten. The motion was so swift and the mass =o nebulous that the sun to he took the xhape of a disk. As time went on the outer part be- came coo! aud somewhat rigid, while the inner part continued its cooling and contracting, Thus the inner part drew away from the outer, leaving a ring of matter whirling around on the outside. This breaking off of the ring is supposed to he hastened by the In- ability of the outside to keep up the swift motion of the central mass, both on account of the slight cohesion and of the centrifugal force. But this par- ticular part of the argument has noth- ing to stand on if the first law of mo- tion is true, In the successive stages of the sun's contraction this process was repented over and over again, until several rings were whirling around the central orb. They would necessarily be in the same piane. Now, these rings, not being uniform in mass or thickness, would each gradually accumulate to- ward the densest portion until they. too. would form a ball which would subsequently fatten. and if the sub- stance continued nebulous and the ball was large enough they would also slough rings. Of course the rings the sun discard- ed have become the planets, which, as required by the theory, are all very nearly in the same plane. The rings that the planets formed have become moons or satellites. So we are driven to conclude that our sun at one time filled all the space from his present position to the farthest planet in the solar system. . From this theory there is another thing that we have to believe, and that fx that every xtar in the heavens has gone through this same process and has a family of planets sailing around it. just as our sun has. It would be impossible to see these planets, of course, for it is impossible to see a star, even with the greatest telescope, except as a mere point of light. As regards the proving of thix neb- ula hypothesis. of course it cannot be done. But everything points to ita ac- curacy. Many nebulae are seen even pow among the stars that seem to be ‘going through the delayed process of world forming. Around one of the planets of our own solar system, Sat- urn. are three rings, which are proba. ‘bly destined in time to become moons, in the opinion of some scholars.—A. T, Hodge in New York Tribune.

A Ciocmy African Pool. There is a large, deep and mysteri- ous pool in the valley of the upper Kafue river, northwestern Rhodesia. This wonderful pocl lies in flat coun- try, aud one comes to it quite sudden- Iy, its banks being concealed by dense forest. There is a small native village near the pool, and the inhabitants have a superstitious dread of it. They refuse to drink the water or use it for any purpose whatever. To sit beside this still, pellucid pool of unknown depth, surrounded by precipitous walls in the heert of the tropical forest, would induce a feeling of awe in the breast of even the most civilized man, —Londou Mail. A Word For the Tightwad. In France they have an expressive phrase, “liquid money.” It means that part of the family income which is used for the necessities and luxuries of life. It is quite apart from and kept apart from the more serious, su'- stantial part of the income, which is the saved pert. In America the entire fncome is “liquid. and the man who at. tempts to make part of it solid is called a “tightwad” A “tightwad~ is the living example of what every private business must be and of how the country’s resources should be han- dled.— Argonaut.
