Dear Prof. Merchant Without
further explanation l cannot &C.
cept your answer ia the query
"Why do planets revolve on theiI
axis?" The Nebula theory, which
is held by a great many astrono-
mers, supposes the earth to have
once formed part of the sun, and
was thrown of by that same cen
trifugal force which throws drop
of water from a rapidly turning
grind stone. The earth was
thrown with a velocity sufficient
to describe an orbit aroun the
sun, and it has continued to move
in that orbit from then till now.
The earth being thus hurled into
space was given both revolution
airy and rotary motion. You say
Since the science of astronomy
has been applied to the revolution
OF rotation Of the planets lot one
has varied in time single mo-
ment."
Now this being so, and since
they were givG both these NO
tons, when hurled into space, and
have ever moved with the same
velocity, 1 cannot Imagine why it
should take extra force, electricity,
to keep one motion going and not
the other. The cases of the top
and base ball are not parallel with
that of the earth. In the first [ |
cannot easily see how gravity, re-
sistance of the air, etc, soon stop
the top, but it had only one motion |
to begin with. In the second If it |
were possible for the pitcher to |
throw the bail on line or give 1t the |
same speed for mile would not
the whirl or rotation of the ball be
the same the whole distance?
Many say the suns rays resting
successfully on different parts of
the earth's surface as it rotates,
produces thermo-electric currents.
Are electric currents produced by
heat? From this it appears to me
that the earth must haye rotated
before these electric currents
could have been generated, and
the earth itself converted into a
big magnet. Understand me, 1
write for information. These are
questions which presents them
selves to me aud | am unable to
answer. Respectfully,
W. A. Smith.

We learn that the San Saba
County Teachers Institute is very
near failure, which we are sorry |
to hear. Such should not be the
case. Every county should have
and support a Teachers Institute,
and there are none better able
than this county to have a good
institute. There is as good mate
rial in this county as anywhere in
the State to have as profitable and
institute as anywhere
The teachers should take hold of
the matter, and not only tie teach
ers, but the trustees and patrons
Of the school should taken an in
terest in the institute and make it
Just what it should be.
