rHE kERuIAR THEORY.


The finite mind can hardly conceive
Of a time when there was neither sun
nor planets, yet both the Bible and SCI
ance teach US that such state OF AFFAIRS
once actually existed. We have all read
the Biblical account Of creation, and not
. few Of us have spent valuable time
reading learned essays On the condition
Of things in the time Of 1.-The begin
ming" 1t is not the object Of this
mote" to discuss the origin Of the sun
and the planets from a Biblical stand
point, nor do we mean 10 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
the origin Of worlds and suns.
According to the opinion Of the most
learned astronomers, the beginning" is
ushered in with the existence through
out all space Of an undefinable matter
of substance called "nebula " This neb-
ula was Of such wonderful thinness that
it is believed that millions Of miles Of
it could have easily been compressed in
TO & 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 recent article by a
we'll known British writer: The matter,
or rather the gas which composes our
sun, was once spread out to the farthest
orbit Of tie 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 it con-
densed, revolving upon its axis, the So
lar mist left behind it at intervals por-
tons Of cloudlike matter cast of from
its equator.
These masses Of gas, undergoing a
similar evolution to that Of the sun, or
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-

tralian Coast.
One Of the most pleasant as we'll a.
famous tourist resorts in New South
Wales is situated on the coast some 20
miles south Of Sydney. The center Of
this district is Kama, a picturesque
and thriving town surrounded by rich
agricultural country, and which has
Been built upon an old igneous fow Of
basalt that has solidifed and crystal
lied into huge columns Of what is pop.
elarly called "bluestone This forma-
ton is seen to perfection on the west
coast Of Scotland and north Of Ireland
at st. Fingal's cave and other places,
and those who are acquainted with the
rugged appearance Of the coast in these
places can form good idea of the ap-
pearance Of the New South Wales coast
at this point. Kama, unlike other tour.
list resorts, can be thoroughly enjoyed
in either fair or stormy weather, and
those who visit the town when a good
gale Is blowing have an opportunity Of
witnessing a sight the like Of which
does not exist elsewhere on our globe.

drous sight With each successive break
er the ocean spray is sent shooting up
into the air sometimes as high as from,
300 to 400 feet, descending in a drench.
ing shower and accompanied by rum.
bling noise as Of distant thunder, which
can be heard for many miles around.
This "Blowhole" is a singular nat
ural phenomenon, and consists Of per.
pendicular hole, nearly circular, with
diameter Of about ten yards across, and
has the appearance Of being the crater
Of an extinct volcano. This is connected
with the ocean by cave about 100 wards
In length, the seward opening Of which
is IN all respects similar to st. Finpal's
cave on the west coast of Scotland. the
same perpendicular basaltic columns
forming the side walls of each. Into
this cave towering waves rush during
stormy weather, and as the cave extends
some distance farther into the rock than
the "Blowhole," on the entrance Of
each wave this cavity becomes full Of
compressed air, which, when the tension
becomes too great, blows the water with
stupendous force up to the perpendicu-
