iflns Of all such bodies.
There Is another magnetic movement
from north to south. entirely from one

at the north and going out at the south
magnetic poles. This Is probably move
mcnt of the ether toward the equator OF
our star cluster analogous to the movement
on cur Garth toward its equator.
We must conclude that our star cluster

magnetic systems analogous to that OF
our earth which ia called terrestrial mag

magnetic ties. or ether movements each
constantly affecting the other, in response
to which the magnetic needle never ceases
to give out its perpetual and endless
trcmors
All this endless motion and force is
traced TO the COMBINATIONS OF ether In
forming solids and building stars. suns,
worlds, planets satellites, comets ind

All magnetic systems are connected with
our earth and Its system of terrestrial
magnetism. All magnets on the earth are
connected with and receive their life and

This theory makes the study of ter

The push OF this condensed ther gives
the planets a speed which prevents them
from falling into the sun. II is readily UNI
derstood that II the velocity OF the earth
in Its orbit were doubled 1t would at once
take position very much farther from
the sun. Also that the planets having
greatest density occupy the inner orbits
and the lghtest, or those of least density,
are farthest from the sun.
This ether pushing the earth is caused
by the rotation OF the sun on Its axis In
twenty-six days. The suns rotation. or
rolling. would cause the elements sur
rounding II TO rotate with 1t or reyove
around the sun and thesc sun elements
push the planets around In their orbits
and cause them to rotate on their axis,
causing day and night.
This theory has now accounted for all
motions In our solar system except the
suns rotation on its axis. AS TO this we
must reason from analogy. We cen SEQ
what causes the earth to rcvolve around
the sun IN twelve months and rotate on
It's axis In twenty four hours and the very
same principle must apply throughout the
universe.
Our sun Is a star OF medium size as
compared with other stars. much smaller
than some larger than others. II moves
around its great center. the common cen
ter OF all the stars OF our clustcr--all we
can sao and many more-in about %, 900
years.
Although there is, at this great center,
no central sun, there may be very great
dark body or II may be a great magnetic
ceuter without solid matter. into which
the ether Is pouring and condensng. All
the stars seem to be moving around that
common center. AS all heavenly bodie,
rotate on their axis the great center must
also rotate.
The force that holds the stars in our
cluster must be the ether moving toward
Its center as II moves toward tho center
OF sun and planets. The rotation OF tho
great center on its axis carries with It tho
surrounding elements. Including the stars
and our sun. BY this it Is seen that the
cause OF motion acts informally.
According to this theory the elements
surrounding the center OF our cluster and
revolving With II touches the sun only on
It's dark side. or rather that part Of 1t
opposite the great center, aud thus caus-
ing the sun to rotate on its axis ms has
been shown In reference to the horizontal
force which touches tho earth only on It's
dark side. causing 1t TO rotate on Its axis.
The earth rotating on Its axis causes

The reports of merchants and ship
pers Indicate a great growing trade to
England in manufactured products
where England herself is our competi-
tor. While some of these articles are
designed for reshipment it is amazing
what a variety of American made goods
are absorbed in the English market. In
every town of medium size dealers in
hardware, machinery, fancy goods,
shoes and hats offer large lines Of the
American product. The weekly ship.
ments of such articles, it is said, rarely
amount to less thar 81, 600, 900 per
week. The country is proving it's abili-
ty to meet the world on it's own terms
despite the higher price of labor. The
secret is more effective and ingenious
machinery.

affecting both forms is that the highly
successful societies begin to covet the
profits after awhile and refuse further
membership, though selling to all de-

words, they tend to degenerate from the
cooperative idea and become capital.
istio in their methods. 1t is an interest
ing fact that the English Wholesale So
~cieties, which are both producers and
distributors, Go not pay any bonus on
wages to the workmen employed. In
other words. they are capitalistic in
production and cooperative only in dis.
tribution.
These institutions have been of i'm
mense value to the English workman,
and, while they have not solved the
problem of capital and labor, they have
gone a considerable way in alternating
some of it's difficulties. Mr.. Henry D.
Lloyd, we'll known in the United
States as an able writer on these sub
jects, in a recent book calls attention
to one notable fact. On the continent
democracy has found expression in at.
tempts to topple over thrones and upset
the established order of things. In Eng.
land it has saved it's siXpences, estab-
lished methods Of cooperation growing
from small to large and striven to work
out it's own salvation.

The work of college athletics in fit
ting young meu for life has been a mat
ter of controversy. The excess to which
physical training is carried under the
SUR of competition has occasioned pro-
test from many wise observers. Some
light is thrown on the question by the
lesson of the war. 1t has been found
that the trained athletes of West Point
have died from the effects of wounds or
disease more quickly than those not dis.
tinguished in athletic skill. Medical
opinion asserts hat the severe training
required to prepare men for athletic

ace, London, and the reports made on
that occasion were full of interest and
suggestion. The possibilities of coop,
~erative enterprise as a solution, at least
in part, of the clashing of capital and
labor have been widely discussed and
it's experiments closely scrutinized All
the facts naturally command the atten-
tion of people on both sides of the AT.
lantic. The system has acquired a ''lo-
Gus standi' in political economy. 1t has
failed in many instances. Yet 1t has
been markedly successful in others. In
England the success has been more dis
tinctly in the line Of d~istributive CO.
operation than that of productive. In
the latter form indeed there have been
only a few notable instances in Eng
land, with rather more on the continent
perhaps, and these have not always
lived TO be more than temporary Blu
as an agency of effective and econom.
ical distribution cooperation shows a
striking aggregate of achievement in
Great Britain, demanding a few words
of comment. Including both kinds of
cooperation they have done a business
within less than a generation of $2T2,.
600, 600. The largest part of this was
that of the distributive stores. In the
period from 1885 to 1895 the societies
increased in number from l,44l to
1865 and in membership from $50. $50
to l,43O, $40, the amount Of capital
from sos, 7S5, 465 to $1O6, 656. 995, the
value of sales from 1856, 500, $50 to
1915, sol, 245, the value Of profits from
$l4, 943, $50 to 500, 945, 355. 1t should
be borne in mind that these figures have
reference to d~istributive as we'll as
productive cooperation societies. The
capital Of 81 productive societies in
England, which represented the copart-
nership of labor, vas only about $2.-
$50. 900
The bonus on the total of the wages
paid was Ia per cent. The d~istributive
stores showed an average saving to the
membership Of about 5 per cent. The
reason is not far to seek why distribu-
tive has been more successful than pro.
ductive cooperation in that there is less
temptation to depart from the pure doc
trine. This is that the co-operator must
take losses as well as accept profits. In
toner, if he fails as a shareholder. But
in case of production, should the year 60
wrong, he loses both as capitalist and
as workman. 1t is said that the danger
