THE NEBULAR THEORY.


Planets Were Formed.
Tho finite mind can hardly conceive
Of time when there was neither sun
nor planets, yet both the Bible and sci
ence teach us that such state Of affairs
once actually existed. We have all read
the Biblical account Of creation, and not
q few Of us have spent valuable time
reading learned essays ON the condition
Of things in the time Of 1.-THE begin
hing" It is not the object Of this
mote" to discuss the origin Of the sun
md the planets from Biblical stand
point, nor do we mean to give resume
Of scientific opinions on the subject. On
the contrary, we shall confine our re-
marks to what is known as the "nebu-
lar hypothesis" or nebular theory Of
tho origin Of worlds and suns.
According to the opinion Of the most
learned astronomers, the beginning" ia
ushered in with the existence through
out all space Of an undef1nable matter
of substance called "nebula. This neb-
ula was of such wonderful thinness that
1t is believed that millions Of miles Of
1t could have easily been compressed in
to q common thimble. The heavier
portions gradually gathered around
common centers after the lapse Of ages
and formed planets, suns and stars,
the light and heat Of the two latter be-
ing due to the clashing Of their compo-
nent atoms as they gravitate continually
toward the center Of the mass.
The nebula origin Of the sun and in
cidentally Of the planets also is thus
finely set forth in a recent article by q
we'll known British writer: The matter,
or rather the gas which composes our
sun, was once spread out to the farthest
orbit Of the outermost planets Of our
system-that is, to the planet Neptune
From the orbit Of Neptune this incon-
ceivably thin mass began to converge,
growing denser and denser and smaller
and smaller as it gradually approached
its existing dimensions. As 1t con-
densed, revolving upon its axis, the 90
lar mist left behind it at intervals por-
tions Of cloudlike matter cast off from
its equator.
These masses Of gas, undergoing q
similar evolution to that Of the sun, OF
central mass, have, with great slowness,
hardened into what is now Jupiter, Sat-
urn, the earth and the other planets.
Meanwhile the main central mass, al
ways retreating, eventually formed the
sun itself, the present chief luminary Of
our system Of worlds.-St. Louis Re-

Another printer devised scheme for
procuring good butter at his boarding
house table. The landlady had two ia
bles for her guests ranged one each side
Of a large room. At one the women
boarders and married couples sat, while
at the other table the bachelors were
placed. At the women's table there was
always good butter, but at the other the
butter was emphatically inferior. A
printer boarder suffered long and pa
tiently, but at last he rebelled. He went
to the dining room just before dinner
one evening and changed the butter
from one table to the other. A howl
from the women's table shortly after
had the desired effect.
The butter was Of equally good quail

sang solemnly on while the waves
were beating at the ship as if to tear
it to pieces. Then it was that John
Wesley cried out in an agony of doubt
Am ready to meet my God?" And
Sophia Canston, standing near, look
ed up at this noble, soul-stirring evan
gelist and thought, eff not he, then
who of all on board this fated craft?"
In these seasons of doubt, while Yves
ley was experiencing what his Diog-
raphers term his new birth, the touch
ing bravery of the young girl who had
made the long journey seem so short
was not without it's soothing infu-
ence.
Needless to say that by the time
Georgia was reached the boat had
shipped an extra passenger with
wings and bow and arrow. When
the settlers landed the usual occupa-
ton Of newly arrived colonists seem
ed to have put an end to Wesley's
love-making. Oglethrope went on to
the site Of Fredrica, accompanied by
Charles Wesley and Delamo, his in
separable companion. The rest of the
English set about raising tents or
bark-covered huts along the square
and streets Of Savannah. John Yves
ley went with some of the Germans
because he had begun the study of
their language on board the ship and
desired to pursue that study. Amid
the noise of the rice birds, the fort at
Savannah was raised, and Wesley
built his parsonage and school house.
Mr.. Canston, Sophias uncle was
made chief magistrate and storekeep-
er, and his niece made herself quite
charming as Wesley's pupil in French
and an earnest seeker after the exqui-
Site pleasures Of experimental ho1i-
ness.
At this time John Wesley wrote to
a friend: II find myself as neither de-
sired nor Observation-Disclosures in hon

one business to exercise himself unto

SOPHIA was the official belle of the
place. She and John Wesley were

A COLORADO RANCHWOMAN,
fhe Story of an Eastern Girl Who Took

fhe Story of Eastern Girl Who Took
Up q Western Claim.
Young women who find that existence
pals and that there is nothing under
the sun which can give them a thrill
should follow the example of Miss Nell
lie Beebe, who went to Colorado three
years ago and took up a claim. Miss
Beebe's original purpose in going to
Colorado was to regain her health.
When that was accomplished she found
herself with such surplus of energy
that she began ranching. inspired by
the example of a Miss Mallon, who had
already won fame as a ranchero. Miss
Beebe took up a claim in the San Luis
Valley, and hired a practical farmer
and his wife to live with her and help in
the work. She herself looked after the
cattle and sheep, and in haying time
drove the team and cut the grass. This
year she sold PIP head of cattle and
tWenty-three car loads of potatoes, be-
sides sending to town nineteen loads Of
hay. She says, with pardonable pride,
that her ranch has been as profitable as
any of its size in the San Luis Valley.
She has had more or less exciting adj
ventures since she became ranch
woman. One night she was awakened
by some one who was try ing to cut his
way into the house through the wire
window screens. Miss Beebe politely
requested him to desist, and when he,
refused she shot at him. He was not
killed, but was disabled and forced to.
give up the profession of a midnight
maurauder. Another time one of Miss
Beebe's horses was stolen. AS soon as
she discovered her loss she mounted her
sWiftest steed, seized her trusty rifle
and galloped off for her trusty neighbor,
Miss Mallon. Soon the two girls were
IN hot pursuit of the horsethief, and
finally they overlook him. He made no
attempt to guard himself against two
young women riding along the road, not
realizing, Of course, the connection be-
tween one of them and his borrowed
steed. Consequently it came upon him
with the shock Of a surprise when he
found himself covered with their rifles
and ordered to dismount. He did so,
protesting with western chivalry that
ne would never have taken it had he
known that a woman owned it. Then
he told such a tale Of woe and want
that the two women, who had started
out with vengeance in their hearts, gave
him some money and sent him on his
way rejoicing. For women will be
women even when they run ranches in
the San Luis Valley.

Their stronghold has always been in
the south. At first it was in the Vir-

Then it was transferred to Kentucky
and Tennessee, where they had their
strongest development. The men Of
this strain are apt to be radical If
they are religious at all they are al
most sure to be Puritans. If f1iDpancy

Poor Sophia was heartbroken. Her
relatives were incensed, and coInpell-
ed her to marry Mr. Williamson,
though she begged Wesley to inter-
cede In her behalf. Even after she
was married she wrote to Wesley, and
cast pltlful chances at him until in
his desperation one day he forbade
her to attend holy communion. He ex-
planned this aftcl wards on technical
grounds, but the tide had turned and
the people Of Georgia were against
him. A charge Of Islander was insti-
tuted, but the assailants knowing
that they had small chance Of success,

able. He made arrangements to leave

lie never went out that Sophia did
not pass and repass him several times
and often she was known to look in
upon him when he was at PRAYER in
his own house..
During all these trials he continued
to conduct his parish as usual, al
though he was a sort of prisoner at
large. At o'clock one evening the
little flock gathered in the church for
prayers. Wesley led as usual. Della
motto was there with the friends who
still remained loyal. After the SER
vice Wesley was seen to return to lis
ola home. But the faithful Delamotte
had planned an escape from this slow
torture. Three faithful friends led
the young clerical through the dark

skill bore him down the river. A
sailing vessel was in waiting, and
soon John Wesley was leaving tho

THEY CLINE STEEPLES.
Score of Men in New York Who Fol1o,u

Score of Men in New York Who Follow
Lofty Occupation
There are score of men in New York
Who follow the trade of climbing steen-
les, great chimneys, monuments and
other lofty structures, to make repairs
put up lightning rods, apply paint, and
40 other things which are needed. The
men who follow this perilous occupation
are frequently called "steeple-jacks."
and they are, as a rule, proud of their
occupation, and not insensibIe to the
TACT that they are, at certain moments,
the most conspicuous and closely OBJ
served men in the city. When it is
necessary to lengthen or repaira steeple
or chimney, the "steeple-jack" is called
upon to build a scaffold or staging at
the summit at great height from the
earth. In this case the scaffold is b,1ilt
from the top downward, and the con-
structlon requires a constant exercise
OF courage and presence of mind. The
steeple-Jack's' worst danger is from
nlSh winds or suddenly rising SQUALLS
1t is said that the bravest steGple-climb-
er declines to face a strong wind. A
high wind will cause the solidest CHM
ney to vibrate at the top. In the case
OF extremely tall chimneys, the summit
actually swings in gale over a space
OF six or eight inches. Although this
does not make the chimney any the less
secure, 1T invariably causes the "steeple-
jack" If he happens to be up there. to

Standing Gowns.

Some toilets are so arranged that
French modistes call them ''standing
gowns" and certainly some of the ex-
cessively wide, deliberately finished
skirts would not be improved by a sit
ting posture of it's wearer. There are
not few women who never wear
their walking costumes in the house
any more than they would don their
full dress toilets for the promenade-a
wise rule; but a gown in which one
cannot sit comfortably is rather q
trial, and the Knowledge that the ap-
pearance Of ones dress is ruined by
this decidedly restful and comfortable
position is disagreeable even to think
of, let alone endure.
