PLANET COLLISIONS.
Should stars knock Together the FIr-
Would BE Indescribabie.

Would BE Understandable.
Professor Ledger Of London, whose
series Of Gresham astronomy lectures ON
Knocks Ia Their Relation to Astrono-
my has been completed, Ill his last dis
course pointed onr that the universe,
instead Of being fixed. is alive with mo-
ton, each star with its attendant plan
cts hur1ying through space. If star were
to knock against star the intense heat
and fierce fire generated by the enor-
nous velocity and vast momentum Of
the two masses would be such as to pass
human conception.
1t may be that the sun was formed by
the collision Of two stars. The effect Of
two such bodies attracting each other
and meeting would be 70 reduce them
TO a violently agitated gaseous mass,
which would oscillate. first inward, pro-
duciug inconceivable heat, and then out
ward again, ultimately assuming the
condition of the sun. The general re-
suit would be that the two bodies would
revolve around their common center Of
gravity-that is TO say, around each 9TH
er-creating a double star. Lord KEEL
win has calculated that if $4,000, 900
solid globes, each Of the mass Of the
moon, should be scattered over aspher
ical surface 100 times the radius Of the
earth's orbit, they would come together
and be raised to a temperature OF
100, 600 degrees. They would oscillate
outward and inward, reaching to a less
distance each time, and ultimately set
thing down into sphere.
The nebulg we see around MS may,
Professor Ledger suggests, have been
produced by the knocking together OF
two great bodies rather than by the ag
gregation of many smaller ones. The
collision Of two huge suns would thus
lead to rejuvenescence and the formation
of new systems. Phenomena indicating
that something very much in the nature
of a collision had occurred are the out
bursts of temporary stars such as those
observed by Tycho Brahe i'll 1879, by
Kepler in 1904 and those of lS48, 1866,
1876. 1885 and 1892, the last being the
new star Auriga, which declined through
ten magnitudes. or became 100, 900
times less bright in two months. The
great increase in the light of comet as
it approaches the sun may be due to
tidal disturbance in the bodies forming
it, causing them to knock against each
other, and thus generate heat and light.
In the same way the twinkling of the
stars may be caused by the knocks of
the molecules Of the atmosphere on the
ether, whose umdulations carry their
light to us. The excessively great and
the exceedingly small are all interde-
pendent, and the past, present and prob
able future of nebalous bodies all hinge
on the relations they bear to tho knocks
of the melecElos Of their gases while
the knocks OF ininenso bodies depend
ultimately on the knocks of their constit-
uent atoms.

HENRY N. STANLEY.

Yior, - he said recently. "There is great
trade waiting for the iron horse, and the
road, if built, will vastly increase COM
merce and open up new fields for enter
prise. All the back countries ON the Gold
Coast are rich in the yellow metal, and
with the railroad in operation the min
ers will be enabled to go direct to the
fields. The gold may be brought out
and capital will flow in.
''From the coast to the fertile inland
the land is low and in many places al
most impossible. To transport the prod
nets Of the field and other industries to
the coast many primitive ways have
been tried, and all of them have failed.
Elephants were made beasts of burden
only to be abandoned Then Spanish
donkeys were imported, but the animals
died. A railroad is the only thing that
will solve the difficulty. Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, the colonial minister, has
recommended the construction Of a rail-
road 657 miles long, from Mombasa to
Victoria Nyanza, the second largest
lake in the world This road is to cost

DON'T RUN AFTER IT.

When Your Hat Blows ON Some Other
Fellow WIN Han 1t Down.
The man who is up-to-date knows
full well what to do when a sudden
gust Of wind blows his straw hat from
his head and takes it on a mad career
down the street He does not make a
wild scurry for it, creating intense
amusement by his sudden dashes
through the crowd or among the We
hieles in the streets, only to corral the
hat in a mud puddle or some other
place just as bad. He has a better
trick. He simply stands still and in
some other person who has witnessed
the incident viii do the chasing and
will return the hat to its owner. who,
calm and unruffied, viii graciously
thank him and walk triumphantly
away with at having turned hair.
A striking example of this fact was
witnessed in Broadway cable car the
whose head was straw hat, the last Of
the summer vintage, was an open WIN
dow. As the car passed Forty
street the sudden gust made itself felt,
and. lifting the hat from the old mans
head, carried it out of the window and
far :down the block. Before the old
man had jumped TO his feet and had
succeeded in stopping the car it looked
to the other passengers as though his
chances of ever regaining the hat were
very slim indeed. So they would have
been had it not been for the accom-
modating Individual who is ever ready
to pursue q straw hat which is en-
deavoring TO escape from its owner.
AS the old man reached the rear
platform, ready to plunge into the
chase, a red-faced. breathless man,
holding the nud-begrimed hat in his
hand, ran up, and. with smile which
seemed TO say. I'm the fellow that
can catch any straw hat that was ever
made, handed it TO the owner. There
was a hasty Thank vou,- the con-
ductor, who had scowled at the DELAY,
rang the bell vigorously. and the old
man settled himself to clean the hat,
well pleased that the incident had not
even entailed the expenditure of an
extra Ave cents for car fare.-N Y.
