of such magnitude. Our investigators undertook more thorough calculation than had hitherto been attempted, and Undoubtedly they came very near the mark.
 Encouraged by their success they con. tinued their labors. and at the second plunge they went through the solid crust of the earth, and probed chaos. Here lucy fingered, and, like all scientists, reveled in delightful mystery. They eagerly thrust about into the profound, and finding no bottom they came to the conclusion that it never had any-like ToEsy It was never born, but grew. Without any originator matter had ex-
 sted from eternity, on it's own hook, and all things had been evolved. rom orig. nal elements that never had an origin Suns and systems, and finally the stu pendous universe were thrown up from the unoriginated bot-bed of chaos. But they obtained certain satisfactory data upon which they based new calcula. ti0n and arrived at startling results They demonstrated that the matter of which our solar system is made existed in gaseous state, like vast cloud stretched ou. in space, but gradually condensing and centralizing for untold millions of years. Another huge mass of gus hung in space, it's nearest neigh Dor, though, millions of miles distant They were attracted towards each other. They moved at first slowly but their speed increased until they rushed thro' space al the rate of millions of miles seconG, When they came in collision they struck with such force they set each other to whirlipg in a rotary mo ton at a fearful rate, and glanced off in. to space, throwing off huge sparks at every revolution as they rolled awny, and every spark formed into world and rolled around the center, grand pyro- technic display in mid-space. The mass es gradually formed into systems, the central mass condensing into sun, the center Of the system -a magnificent sire of splendid family of worlds. Enough heat was generated when they collded to last the central mass two hundred millions of years (omitting fracIions), and gas enough for unnumbere ages. Here is where gas comes in. The solar system was evolved out of gas. Our world received superabundant share, and scientists fear TO immediate failure of the supply. To this day gas is the pril ciple developing agent, and we ex- pect it to continue until everything is brought up 10 perfection. The origina. ting power never forsakes it's offspring If man is the creature of gas his great original will see him safe through
 As a result of these soundings our in vestigators came to the conclusion that the universe is huge bubble, and when it has fulfilled it's mission and everything been developed up 10 perfect ripencss il

 This will occur to our system when tn,

 philosophical corkscrew they hope sool
 to worm it out. .-....
