the eastern states about the 10th. The
cool wave Will cross the western noun
tains about October 9th. the great

The right answer TO these questions

traction OF graduation and the force
that lies behind electricity and mag
netism.
In dealing with such questions the
practice OF scientists rs to adopt what
ts called working hypothesis. They
adopt what III later ON called u theory

She known facts. II, In every case, the
Known facts agree with the hypothesis
II is then called n theory, II this the
CRY stands the test of the most severe
criticisms and continues to agree with
The facts It Is advanced to the dignity
OF nm established scientific fact
10 know the nature and properties OF
that which Ills outer space and ~ call
cd the ether would be Of immense value
to the human race. Not only would
this reveal TO US all the secrets uuder-
lying our weather changes, but we
would gain knowledge OF that which
controls the health Of the whole human
race,
Epidemics ana contagious diseases
nre surely spontaneous For instance:
IL can not be said that measles or
smallpox hag boon transmitted from
enc person TO another continuously
since the days OF Adam. Therefore II
must be admitted that these and other
diseases OF the humnn race and the
lower animals originate from changed
conditions Of the atmosphere,
The cause OF these atmospheric
changes 10 not always found In our
atmosphere nor on our earth. We
know that many diseases are confined
20 the summer months, many othera
TO the winter months and therefore
II is absolutely certain that they are
controlled by the position OF the sun
relative to our northern hemisphere.
Again there are discnHos that pre-
vail In summer periodically. Not
every year bat about every six or
swclve years II would not do to
say that the sun Is the cause OF these
periodic epldcmics, such ms cholera
aud hog-chuleru, II these occur and
recur at intervals agreelng with the
periodic return of some OF the planets
we should Investigate and ascertain
whether there ~ a connection between
certain POSITIONS of the planets and
these cpidemics.
The critic. however. objects 10 the
Idea Of the far away planets having
anything TO do with the health OF the
carthA Inhabitants. Such an idea ap-
pears 20 be far fetched; IL Is an innova-
TIM our fathers did not 80 teach and
therefore Il must be rejected.
The fathers also secuted the idea
that little star could In amy manner
have amy possible Influence on the
movements OF our earth or moon
1sut now every astronomer wetl knows
that our moon and earth are dragged
out OF their paths every time they
approach or pass any OF the planets
md these facts are always included
in their calculations OF the moons
changes and the places OF the planets.
They can easily understand how. by
the force OF gravltation. the whole
solid body OF the earth and Its atmcs-
phcre can be knocked thousands OF
s"iles out OF Its path by another plan
ct. but many ndicule the idea that
the force which dlsrlaces our earth

IL our atmosphere Is periodically
rearrangcd or disturbed by those outor
aniluences Il can not be difficult Ia
understand that the uncommon condl.
lions thus brought about win seriously
affect tae health OF all animal life on
our earth.
Then II we can know the cauaef
