THAT CHAPTER.

A Chapter on SCOTS Emulsion
often holds a prominent position in
the histories of weak children.
The gist OF that chapter usually
reads like this:
Child weak and thin-began with
small doses of SCOTS Emulsion three
times a day-after a week appetite
improved--soon a little stronger
child more hvely-weighs more"
And SO it goes till the child is re-
ported well and strong.

SCIENTIFIC THEORIST DECLARES
MONT PELEE AN ELECTRIC VOLCANO,
Cope Whitehouse Believes That

tated by Vibration.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Many theories are held by scientists as
to the exact causes of the eruptiOns of Mont
Pelee and Soufriere. devastating the beau
tiful islands of the West Indian group.
Mr.. Cope Whitehouse says that recent OBJ
servationS in Berlin support his theory re-
garding these appalling phenomena.
AS MIR. Whitehouse has achieved fame by
his discovering that the depression in the
Egyptian desert could be utilized for irriSa-
ton, and the fact that the great enterprise
is now in the hands of the British Govern
ment, his views may command attention.
Mr.. Whitehouse is something OF a Phiiis-
tine in science, and apparently takes pam

ing established lneorleS IN natural phen0m-

the passage of this small tail, composed of
a gas lighter than anything known.
NO advance is made for the attraction
of gravitation in wireless biography. and
the most superficial observation in geology,
or the science of small, show that there is
a force in doors which ignores gravltation.
I'VE have no reason for Suppostng that
gravitatlon is not a purely local anair or
that heat and light do not emarate from the
sun. Heat comes from the earth and the
light from the atmosphere. precisely as the
film in an incandescent lamb Is heated by
the resistance it offers to the electric cur
rent and light is produced by the vibration
OF the hotes in the air.
1.-The only fact established beyond doubt
regarding sun and planets is their revOlu-
ton on their axes, and this is all that is
needed to generate light and heat. They are
what it receives to its neighbors on the cir
cult. We do not see the stars nor even
the sun.
