HEAT FROM FAR-0FF STARS
A Question that Has Puzzled Astronomers Is
Finally Solved,
IL Exists Credit of Discovery Belongs
10 Prof. q. Y. Nichols Of Dart.
mouth College,

Chicago, May ia special to the
| Record Herald from Williams Bay,
Wis, says:
Whether the stars, millions of miles
away, send to the earth's surface any
heat along with their rays of light, a
question which has long puzzled as
tronomers, has been finally solved. The
heat from these far-off bodies has not
only been detected but measured. It
has been measured by one of the most
delicate and sensitive astronomical in
struments ever made-an instrument
capable Of measuring the heat OF a
candle a mile away
The credit for solving the problem
and Tor constructing this delicate In
strument belongs To Prof. II. r. Nichols
of Dartmouth college. The experiments
were, however, performed at the Yerkes
observatory of the University of Chi
cago, where Prof Nichols spent two of
his summer vacations The results OBJ
talned from these experiments have Just
been carefully reviewed and computed
and sent to Prof. George Il. Hale, dl-
rector Of the observatory.
Prof. Nichols experiments at the
Yerkes observatory have for the first
time proved beyond doubt that the
planets and some of the fixed stars
send an appreciable quantity OF heat
to the earth. The quantity however. Is
so minute that the wonder is that an
instrument could be made sensitive
enough to detect IT,
The instrument which can record such
an iniinitesmal amount of heat is called
a radiometer Though based to some
extent upon the same principle as the
bolometer and radiomcrometer, which
nave been so successfully used In meas
urlng heat rays. in construction IL is
essentially different and for this pur-
pose has proved far more effective.
The bearing OF these first measure
ments OF stellar heat, says Prof. Hale.
upon the life history Of stars is very i'm
pOrtant. but general conclusions cannot
be drawn until further results can be
obtained, Prof Nichols remarks that
the great rejecting telescope, with sill.
Nered glass mirror five feet in diameter
which is being constructed at the

adapted than any other instrument for
this delicate work, The glass lenses
Of a refractlng telescope are quite
Opaque to some of the heat waves
which reach us from the stars and for
this reason Il rejecting telescope of the
largest size must be used in future ex-
periments.
Prof Nichols was assisted IN this val
liable work by Prof, Charles Il. ST
John Of Oberlin college, and a. L. Cot

HERESY IN CANADA.
Archbishop Bond Opposes Prof
Steen aud His Views.

Montreal May 1l.--Archbshop Bond,
Of the Anglican diocese Of Montreal,
has made public his reasons for ac-
ceptihg the resignation of Prof. steen
as lecturer in the diocesan college, and
also for opposing the professors noml-
nation as special minister at Christ
Church cathedral His grace states
that several complaints Of un-Anglacon
and unorthodox utterances made by
Prof. sleen reached him, and upon in.
vestigation. he was forced to act. Some
Of these statements are alleged to have
been made from the pulpit and are:
What authority is there for the or
thodox view of Holy Scripture at this
day? 1t was not revealed by miracle
or by sign from heaven that IL is the
correct view Consequently, the author
ity is only human. We say the Bible is
the inspired word Of God because men
think So and have for centuries thought
so. The books OF the Bible were evident
ly written by human hands; that God
had a share, let alone the principal
share, was merely the opinion Of the
writers or of their contemporaries.
These many have been right or wrong.
IL may believe St. Pauls epistles to
be inspired, but ! have only human
authority for It, Only because ] think
so and still more, because those In ey-
cry age who knew most about the
question thought so is the reason that
| regard them as the work OF God.
"On the subject Of inspiration Of Holy
Scripture, | cannot get back of human
knowledge or authority; II is not pos
sible to get any authority that is divine
/ believe with all my soul that Jesus
Christ is the lncarnate Son Of God,
perfect God and perfect man; but
must admit my authority IS human, |
think So and the great majority in ev-
cry age, especially the good and wise
and learned, think go. Views Of Holy
Scripture are merely the results of hu-
man Judgment How monstrous at the
present day to deny the human mind
the right of passing judgment
"The Bible is a narrative OF facts |
and a repository Of spiritual and moral |
truths before II Is an inspired book. |
Every true student must first study the |
Bible as any other book. It will then
be inspired on account Of what he finds |
in IT,"
To these alleged extracts from his |
lectures and sermons Prof. Steen makes |
a sweeping denial and charges the |
with a dlsinclination to |
grant him a hearing. The controversy |
will finally be settled by an eclesiasti-
cal tribunal. |

Yokohama, April 4,--(Correspond-
ence Of the Associated Press -Since
the backdown of Russia by which she
has lost immensely In her prestige in
the orient, matters have resumed their
normal course. though Japan's distrust
Of the northern power still remains in
as full force as ever and the nation
does not in the least relax its vigilance
in watching every movement Of the
MuscOvite. None save those who have
long resided in Japan can form any
conception OF the strength Of the ma
tional sentiment regarding Korea. This
people have been t,alght for centuries
that the destinies Of the two countries
are indissolubly united and the conyic-
ton OF this Is not only ineradicable, but
has become part and parcel Of the pa
triOtic enthusiasm which Is the nations
life. Moreover, the tide Of emigration
has flowed IN large volume to this PEN
insula, which Is recognized as the only
field in view of the growing restrictions
upon the influx Of Asiatics In the west
Japan now has a population Of $4,000
900 upon surface less than that Of
the Atlantic states OF America and, II
being Il mass of mountains only one
twelfth of the soil Is arabic. Korea,
therefore, becomes an absolute neces-
sity in the near future as a field for
emigration apart from the fact that
its possession by Russia would be recog
nized as a mortal menace to the island
empire Ii may therefore be readily
imagined that this nations patience is
liable at any moment to be exhausted
by Russia's diplomatic policy.
The official census Of foreigners In
this department made last month shows
a very large increase in the American
POPULATION as also In the German con
tingent, plainly indicating that the
British preponderance In the foreign
business Of the country Will soon be-
come thing OF the past.
