CHI A PTER XII

In an assemblage of famous scientific
men such as this the discovery of course
Immediately led to questions as to the
origin of this incredible phenomenon.
How did these masses of gold come
together? How did it chance that, with
the exception of the thin crust of the
asteroid, nearly all it's substance was
composed of the precious metal?
One asserted that it was quite impos-
sible that there should be SO much gold
at so great distance from the sun.
ut is general law" he said, "that
the planets increase in density toward
the sun. There is every reason to think
that the inner planets possess the greater
amount of dense elements, while the
outer ones are comparatively light.
But another referred to the old theory
that there was once in this part of the
solar system a planet which had been
burst in pieces by some mysterious ex-
plosion, the fragments forming what
we know as the asteroids. In his opin-
ion this planet might have contained
large quantity of gold, and in the course
of ages the gold, having in consequence
OF its superior atomic weight not beer
go widely scattered by the explosion as
some of the other elements of the planet,
had collected itself together in this body.
But l observed that Lord Kelvin and
the other more distinguished men of
science said almost nothing during this
discussion. The truly learned man is
the truly wise man. They were not 60
ing to set up theories without sufficient
facts to sustain them. The one fact that
the gold. was here was all they had at
present. Until they could learn more
they were not prepared to theorize as to
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1901-12-12

how the gold got there.
And, in truth it must be confessed
the greater number of US really cared
less for the explanation of the wonder
full fact than we did for the fact itself.
Gold is a thing which may make it's
appearance anywhere and at any time
without offering any excuses or expla-
nations.
"Phew Won't we ba rioh?" ex-
claimed voice.
"How are we going to dig it and get
it back to earth?" asked another.

"No need of stalking claims here, ;"

Mr.. Edison suddenly turned che cur
