Hervl.ss "Is It not possible for nature to have such power or force as to throw parts of our earth into space so high that they may never, or hardly ever return to the earth again for instance, volcanic force or other forces of which we know? Who knows but what the meteorites that we see in tho museums of nat ural history may have been thrown from our own earth, returning from their flight to our earth again?— C. H. K. Loppentein." The idea that meteorites are an cient children of earth, gathered again, iike Do Quincey's revolted Tartars, from their wanderings in the wilderness of space "into the fold of their forgiving shepherd" is an old and picturesque one, which has been debated many times with out a tlnal decision. it is not by any means inconeeiv- I able that forces could be developed | in the crust of the earth similar to those that produce volcanic explo sions, that would hurl forlli mutter with a velocity sufficient to free it from the control of gravity, where upon it would fall into a more or less elongated orbit around the sun, crossing the earth's orbit, and through the effects of perturbations might eventuully be brought back to the earth's surface. A simple calculation based on known physical laws tells us that, neglecting the resistance of the at mosphere, any body or particle shot radially away from the earth at a velocity a little less than seven miles or say, 36,000 feet, "per second, would be freed from the control of gravity and would become an inde pendent member of the solar sys tem. It is possible that the volcanic energies of tho earth may in long past time have been sufficient to produce u velocity of that'order. In recent times great volcanic explo sions have thrown dust to height of as much as twenty miles. Now, neglecting the atmospheric ! resistance, the velocity with which | a body would have to start In order ) to ascend twenty miles against the : pull of gravity would be about 2,- l 600 feet per second, which Is not I much more than one-fourteenth of I tho velocity needed to set it free. { With higher velocities it would go t farther, but in order to send it far i enough to prevent it from falling ! back again in a short time it would jbe necessary to approximate the j critical velocity of 36,000 feet. For j instance, although a velocity of 2,- i 600 feel per.second would send the | projectile twenty miles high, it | would require over 35,000 feet per i second to send it 240,000 miles (as ! far away as the moon), and in that j case it would return in about ten ! days ufter its departure. One of tho strongest reasons for j supposing meteorites to have orig -1 inated in volcanoes is the fact that i they bear much resemblance, in | composition and physical state, to I minerals known to have been eject led from volcanoes. Another signiil : cant fact is that, while they consist |of many substances and chemical | elements familiar to tis as constitu j ents of the earth's crust (at least j thirty have been identified), they ; contain nothing not already known | on the earth; that is, no strange sub | stance or elements, j Some of them do, however, show i peculiarities of structure and crys j tallization not found in \ substances |of known terrestial origin. Many of i tliem also contain remarkably large {quantities of occluded (shut in or {absorbed) gases. About 3 or 4 per | cent ol' the meteorites titbit fall on I the earth consist of pure iron, usu | ally alloyed with a little nickel; the others are composed of stony mat ! ter, usually containing a little iron or some compounds of iron. { Mr. Farrington, the greatest liv | ing authority on meteorites, finds evidence that, some of the bodies {have been broken up and rccement | ed, while others show effects appar ently due to what geologists call I faulting, where a rock stratum lias ! been fractured and one surface has {slid over another, and still others {contain veins in which foreign ma ! terial has been deposited. | It is unnecessary to point out how {strikingly all these things accord : with the hypothesis that the meteor | ites originated in some great body : closely resembling tho earth in its j constitution and structure. It is evi- I dent from many considerations that meteorites are of fragmentary form ! when they enter tlie earth's atmos j phere. If they are large they are | often broken again, and yet again {during their plunge through tlie ul : mosphere the violent disruptions re sembling explosions, but it is ustial | ly clear that they were of irregular ; sliapo to begin with. 1 This his suggested the theory tliut ; they may be fragments of an ex- { ploded world. i Although carbon occurs In the meteorites, both crystallized in the form of exceedingly minute dia ! monds, and as uncrystallized graph ite, no trace of organic remains has ' | ever been found in them. But there | are traces of many metals, such as | gold, lead, plaitnum, silver, etc., in i' very minute quantities. In contradistinction to the theory : of the eartli origin of meteorites. { it has been argued that they may 1 i have been shot out of the giant vol canoes of the moon in long past ! ugest, but there are somo very seri ous difficulties in the way of this h.v ijpothesis. Mr. Chamberlain, the in ■ j ventor of the plunetesimal theory ; | of the origin of tho solar systems, {{lias the interesting suggestion that ' meteorites may be the fragments of j bodies (planets) broken up by the passage of some Immense mass near I enough to produce disruptive tidal • strains. To sum up. the real, origin i of meteorites remains to he discov : ered.

MITCHELL PALMER in 1891, and. two years later was ad mitted to the bar. ln1908 he was elected to Congress and served three terms from the 26th Pennsylvania district, becoming a member of the Committee on Ways and Means and framing the metal schedule in the Underwood bill. Since 1912 he has been a member of the National Democratic committee. In 1914, running on tho Demo cratic ticket for the Senate he was defeated by Senator Penrose. The following year lie was appointed by President Wilson a judge of the United States Court of Claims, but declined to accept. It was generally reported that he was offered the war portfolio in President Wilson's first cabinet, but asked to be excused be cause he was a Quaker.
