The Birthplace
of the Stars
Which Was Also the Birthplace of
I life and Mind—A Newly Diseov
! ered Ty|x- of Nebular Spectrum
Which Adds u Link to Creation's
Chain.
By GARRETT I*. SERVISK
The clue to the mystery of crea
tion no doubt lies in those glowing
clouds oalldd gaseous nebulae, which
seems to float like phosphorescent
thistledowns among the stars. They
are the seed-grounds out of which
spring suns and worlds. Or they
may he culled the protoplasm of the
i universe. Undeveloped in llicni lie
all tlie possibilities of organic life.
As an amorphous mass of jelly
| like "living substance" crawls
| slowly over a flat surface and with
jan uncanny suggestion of dim eun
| ning envelopes .and absorbs some,
] for it. nutritious morsel, behaving
i all the while like a living animal
'that has neither head or body nqr
limbs nor organs, nor fixed shape,
| but yet can move and devour and,
iin a low sense, mediate and plan,
] and as such masses split up and by
fission multiply, so'many of the
nebulae, like the marvelous one
in Orion, appear to be convulsed
with forces which are directed to
ward a definite, organic aim, tlie
transformation of nebulous sub
stance into stars.
it is only when we comprehend
in its fullness the evolutionary
doctrine that absolutely every
thing that now exists on the earth,
including our precious selves and
our very intelligence, was once a
mere sleeping force in tlie womb
of a nebula, that we begin to ap
preciate to what daring heights
scientific theory can go. But in
our generation we have witnessed
an enormous change in public sen
timent concerning these things.
It is forty-eight years ago, just
when Bismarck was setting up an
imperial throne for the Hohenzol
lerns. that John Tyndall startled
many good people by declaring in
n lecture, which was published all
over the world: "Not alone the
more ignoble forms of animalcular
or animal life, not alone the nobler
forms of tlie horse and the lion,
not alone the exquisite and won
derful mechanism of the human
body, hut the human mind itself,
emotion, intellect, will and all
their phenomena were once latent
in a fiery cloud!"
It may he that there are still
people who are startled and of
fended by that statement, hut
scientific progress since Tyndall's
day lias been steadily making tlie
statement good. Even at this very
moment something conies to
strengthen it. A bulletin of the
Lowell Observatory, which I have
i just received contains the an
j nounoenient from Dr. V. M. Sliplier
i of a new type of nebular spectrum,
I the discovery of which serves to
'link up yet .more firmly the con
( nectjon between stars and nebulae,
j This new type of spectrum is
j shown by a curious comet-shaped
| object, known as iluhbte's variable
j nebula, which is attached to the
■ variable star R Monoeerotis.
Photographs of the cpectrum of
I this object, made at the Lowell
] Observatory, lead Dr. Slipher to
! think that the luminosity of this
I nebula, and of another similar one
in the southern hemisphere (X. O.
C. 6729), may he of the nature of
reflected light, tlie source of the
light being the-star embedded in,
or at least connected with, the ne
bula. Taking Bubble's nebula as a
whole, both star and gaseous mass,
its spectrum bears a close resem
blance to that of a temporary star,
as, for instance, the new star that
shone out in uAriga in 1892. The
star In Hubble's nubia is placed
at one end, like the nucleus of a
comet (a similar arrangement ap
pears to prevail with the other
nebula mentioned), and the light
of the star is of tlie same char
acter as that of tlie nebula. If the
latter shines by reflection from the
former tlie spectral similarity is
accounted for. ' ,

WILSON'S VIEWS
TOO IDEALISTIC
TO SUIT EPOCA

Country Should Support
Neighbors Instead
By Associated Press•
Madrid. March 19.—The conserva- 1
tive newspaper Epoca in comment- j
ing on the naming of Manuel Zon- |
zales llontoria, a Liberty deputy, as j
a delegate to the League of Nations
conference of neutral nations, says
that the selection of a person so .
closely' allied to Premier Romahones
shows tHut the premier intends to i
continue following a policy tend
ing to closer relations with the i
United States.
The Epoca thinks this is a mis- j
take. President Wilson's views, it j
declares, are too idealistic, and it |
urges that Spain ought rather to j
support France and England, her j
neighbors, instead of distant Amer- ,
ica.
Premier Romanones has taken j
note of Ihe statements made by the (
Epoca and has replied to them. The j
foreign policy of Spain was well :
known, he said, and the government ]
had clearly revealed its intentions, 1
for the information of the Cortes, on
various occasions. Consequently ;
everybody, he added, knew that
Spain had in no way turned away i
from Great Britain and France, hut i
was proceeding in full agreement
with those two powers and with the j
United States.

lie received. Pies, hot dogs and eggs
in all shapes were in great demand
and Davenport is a feature of the
show.
Clear, cold air dried up tlie bad
spots on tlie parking space and
hundreds of cars swept in today
without getting stuck. Last night a
generous crowd came and found no
trouble in maneuvering because of
the excellent lighting system.
"Evening clothes may tie the tiling
by the end of the week," predicted
Mr. Myton today. "Last night more
than a dosen men came out in span
gles and they looked so good and
prosperous that I expect by Satur
day night it will be a universal full
dress event."
Interest centered largely today in
the tidy array of accessory exhib

come in for their sharp of praise and
patronage. Archie Black, who has
his fine garage service at Seven

getting a professional decorator to
adorn his booth. "Arcli" is the
dynamo of this firm.

asked one anxious countryman. "I

in jigtime with a policy containing

Market street dealers are sure on
the Job, every one of them, and
Edward Singer ha* the distinction of
having been prominent at the very

lubricating juice. He is backed by the
big fo%iws, hut tlie tiig fellows do
not botner the Independent Oil Com
pany which flaunts its chief product,
"Texocco" down at the end of the
room. Another Market street well
known is Edward Cowden, Keystone
Sales Company, member of the deal
er's association and a hustler for
trade, especially when it conies to
selling an Apperson car.*
Near by him one perceives a slen
der, shrinking figure, harly visible to
the naked eye, in the perslin of Paul
Furntan, whose cheerful cliirp of
"Miller Tires" puts dents in the wel
kin. Frank Bosch, silent partner, is
not even this much in evidence, but
he is there with the old cheek book.
The dealers think so, much of the
classical, delicate artistic machinery
that many decorate it as though it
were a sweetheart. The Federick
Garage, 1807 Seventh street, handling
Kayhead carburetors, lias its tires

"Money back if not satisfactory" is
the legend. His most Interesting ex
hibit is a "pull-you-out," a cute little
mechanism which can easily be car
ried along with the machine and
which will lift a ton to get the ear
out of a hole. This is spectacular
but the electric valve grinder is far
more important, says "Ted." "Big
gest time saver in the automobile
industry." Fred Sieber, born and
reared in old Harrisburg. another
Market street dealer, was twitted to
day with the fact that his family
used to make soap. "Always doing
something to make people clean"
was his ready response. "When
bath tubs become popular in motor
cars we will have "em for sale."
The only well-known car missing
at the show is the Cadillac, for which
many ask on entering. The Harris

explanation except to say that after
