OCTOBER , 1905, Professor Darwin Speculates on Force of New Element, MORE POWERFUL THAN DYNAMITE An Ounce of It Would Raise 10,000 Tons a Mile High-—How the Stars and Systems Are Formed-—A RBillion Years Since Moon Left the Earth, Professor George Howard Darwin of the chair of astronomy and experi mental philosophy at Cambridge, sec ond son of the late Charles Darwin, in an address before the British associa- tion at Johannesburg, South Africa, is thus reported in a dispatch to the New York Tinies, In the course of his address he de clared it not unreasonable to that from 500,000,000 to years had elapsed in the evolutionary history of our earth since the birth of the moon. He also gave some details In regard to which the d of radium and its properties had upset the calculations of the scientists. Discussing the nebular hypothesis and considering the influence of tidal oscillations, he said the system might be traced back to a time when the day and the month were Identical, both be ing only about four or five of ant at that time must have only a few thousand miles from the earth's surface-—a great contrast with the present distance of $40,000 miles, If at every moment since the birth of the moon tidal frie tion had always been at work in such & way a= to produce the greatest pos gible effect, Professor Darwin sald 60,000,000 years would be consumed in this portion of evolutionary history. The true period must be much greater Pure geology potted to some period between 000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 years, the mit being the more doubt ful. Thus the geologists did not find anything which rendered the tidal theo ry of evolution untenable, Physicists from a calculation of the total output of the sun's heat had re garded it necessary that the whole his tory of the solar system be comprised within 20,000,000 years. He always had belleved that the geologists were more nearly correct. Recent marvelous discoveries in physics showed that con centration of matter was not the only source from which the sun might draw its heat Radium was & substance which was perhaps millions of times more powerful than dynamite Tt was estimated that an ounce of ra dium would contain enough power to relee 10000 tome a mile the earth's surface. The energy needed t« tow a ship of 12,000 tons for 6.000 sea tiles at fifteen knots was contained in twenty two ounces of radium.

With the exception of a few states, notably New Jersey and Massachusetts, the subject of bet- ter was the last thought that gave the legislators the least trouble, The Automobile Club of America in its younger days expended a tremen- dous amount of argumentative energy in endeavoring to convince the law- makers of New York that money ex- pended on good roads wasga good busi nt, Thelr aggenls brought out a few thousand dollars, somewhat grudgingly given, Finally the gener- ous sum of $100,000 was appropriated, and at tion stitational amendment will be present. ed to the providing that the state may bond itself for $5,000,000 for ten years for the building of improved wagon Agit The touring, glory lies road roads ness invest the forthcoming ele a con- voters roads, tion has been productive of sim states, Gov Deneen of 1llinols gave a marked growing demand for the west when, in his he made a strong plea money and road bullding ely 2 per cent of 4 in other tion of the roads foi re in » expenditure of more upon suitable f were ir f the year was no of other states " Average, bways Imve been fornia, Idaho, Minne- pl, Missouri, Oregon, lina, Nebraska eastern states in povement has recently appro priated $300.000 for good roads, and it licted that within a iil not be a state in 10t manifest a just | leage of its i the year round.
