and successful educator of youth, argued
with considerable ability that it vas ha''
or rather that it apprOximated the snaps
of a biscuit; a lawyer, now known anu
bonored all over the State, demonstrated
that it was shaped very much like spool
or bobbin: another speaker, now the
editor Of one of the leading papers OF Inc
interior. proved that it was exactly IN the
shane of a clod of dirt; while PHYSICIAN
who has since been eminently successlui'
convinced many of the auditors that the
shane of the earth Appropriated that OIL
a cube. The theory of Symmes, the hen-
tucky scientist and discOverer, that tne
earth is similar in shape to ball OF cora,
is familiar to every one of metaphysical
turn of mind, and his account OF MS FOy-
age to the inhabited countries in the cen
ire of our planet awakened the interest OF
thousands of the curious and credulous.
Millions of men, wise in their day ana
generation, have gravely discussed ques-
tions such as 'sThe Theory of Tittlebats"
and ssThe Sources of the Hemstead Ponds"
One of the greatest religious contests in
Russia was caused by a dispute as TO
how the fingers Should be manipulated IN
making the sign of the cross. 1t should
not be thought strange, therefore, that
Arndt should find supporters and that
while the great body of scientists
will sheer at his alleged nscoV-
cry of plant in the shape
of a cube, many will point their tele-
scopes in the direction Of the celestial
stranger and evolve arguments concern
ing the formation of all the heavenly
bodies by the chipping of gigantic cubes
which gradually become spheres, from
some UNNECESSARILY great material centre
of the universe. 1t will be well for the
friends of the nebular theory to be on
their guard to keep a close watch on
Arndt and his pupils, and see that they
are square in all their observations and
arguments.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1884-12-29

The nebular hypothesis is likely to be
disputed by a new school of scientists
which will probably be called into exist
ence by the alleged discovery by the
Munich astronomer, Arndt, of a planet
which is said to differ from the supposed
shape of all other celestial bodies in that
it is cubical. What if all other astrono-
mers laugh at the announcement Of this
remarkable discovery Doctors will dis
agree, lawyers will dispute, and ministers
of the gospel even will take different
views Of what appear to be the most I'M
equivocal texts. Suppose it is asserted
that the orbit of the cubical planet is
$500, OOO, 900 miles from the earth, and
that it is impossible to determine the
shape Of body at that distance, even if
it should be thousand times larger than
the sun? All great discoveries have been
disputed and all great discoverers have
had eavious rivals to scorn their honors.
The shape Of the earth has never yet
been determined to the satisfaction of all
it's inhabitants. The school boy is taught
that it is ssroInd, like ball or an orange"
Nearly all scientists, however, deny that
it is similar in 7shape to either of these
objects. One of the most interesting dis
cussions that ever tool&place in a debat-
ino soofofv In Gp0ruia WAS on the subject

No doubt the percentage OF increase mas
been maintained in some of the Terrific
ries since 1880, though it is not probable
that such has been the case with Arizona,
Dakota and Washington. 1t is very prob
able that Dakota will be admitted as a
State before 1890, and, perhaps, Wash
ingtOn and New Mexico, also. Utah
may come in by 1900, provided the Mormon
question shall be settled, which doesn't
seem likely to be the case just now. Ari-
IONA will also probably be admitted by
1900, and nearly all the others will doubt
less become States by 1920 or 1880 at far
thest. By that time no doubt the Indian
Territory will be opened to the whites,
the Indians enfranchised, and State
formed ard admitted to the Union.
1t may be pretty safely assumed, if no
great disaster should befall the country,
that in a half century from to-day from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
Mexico to the Britt sh dependencies, there
will be a solid sisterhOod of States-some
fifty in number and comprising pOpula-
ton of more than 100, 1000, 600 people. If
Providence should smile upon the United
States in the future as it has in the past,
hundreds now living will see this the
greatest and grandest country ever known.
