sionally reappears is presentln latent form
in each generation. In every living
creature we may feel assured that host of
lost characters lie ready to be evolved under
proper conditions. We cannot fathom the
marvellous complexity of an organic being
but on the hypothesis here advanced the
complexity is much Increased. Each living
creature must be looked at as a microcosm-a
little universe-formed by n host OF self pI opa.
eating organisms, incOncelvably minute, and
as numerous as the stars OF heaven
"But the old Pine will readily see that this
would not be the simplest or best manner of
creation, but instead, IL carried out to any
large extent, AVERY complex and most unde.
sirable manner. And therefore 1t does not
hold to any large extent, but instead the diff
ferent species are made by separate creation.
For then not the elementary principles of
everything would have to be included in each
seed or germ, but only such elementary prin.
ciple as belongs to the species or thing Of
which 1t is the seed or. germ.

GRAvITATlON ANo REVOLUTION OF THE
PLANETS EXPLAINED.


In the Preface of ELLEN" appears this
statement:
"But now as the undulatory theories disap.
pear and the correct conditions of matter as
1t recedeS from our view are understood, il is
to be hoped and expected that the great
secrets of electricity, magnetism ana gravita.
ton will be discovered by this book has
been the great secret of southland even
beyond these the material conditions of
thought ana the emotions"
Through the experiments of Professor
j. j. Thomson of Oxford University,
England, made .on these lines, and re-
ferred to in our article last week, the
explanation of gravitatiOn would APP
pear to be practically complete. For,
as we know, the interstellar space is
vast region into which the air does
not extend, and therefore similar to what
we call vacuum. But it is demon
strated by the experiments of Professor
Thomson that, in vacuum, cathode
rays or light, heat, and electricity per-
form their phenomena; and it is shown
that these particles or corpuscles Of light
not only move with great rapidity in
straight lines, but will cause to move rap
idly, as is also illustrated by the Crooks
radiometers, all bodies sufficiently
light, or properly adjusted which they
meet in their path. 1t follows as a mat
ter of absolute certainty that the light
emitted from the sun into the space sur
rounding it must cause to move what
ever bodies are in its path, which means
especially the earth and planets or what
we call the solar system. Light moving
IN straight lines will push these bodies
away from the sun. This is the So
called force of repulslon. 1t only re-
mains to account for that of attraction.
commonly called gravitation, ITO explain
fully the cause of the revolution of the
planets around the sun, or generally, the
revolution of heavenly bodies. Fortu-
nately, Mr.. Thomson's experiments are
equal to this inquiry; for he has shown
that magnetic currents, which unques-
tionably are particles of matter emanat-
ing from certain substances, so affect the
course of the cathode rays as to cause
them to defect or bend from their straight
course into a curved course. Let these
two forces be properly adjusted and
the revolution of planets about their cen.
trail sun is accounted for.

time after he was reliably informed that
his legal wife was living.
The case took up the time of the court
until the noon recess Wednesday,. The
attorneys made brief but vigorous pleas
and the charge of the court was brief,
but luminous. The Jury were out only
short time and upon their return rem
dered a verdict of guilty. After brief
consultation the court gave Palmer the
unwelcome New Years present of SEN
tence to hard labor IN the state prison at
Windsor for not less than four and not
more than five years. This gives the
legal wife right to a divorce on the
ground of the length of the senteuce
alone, and leaves the unhappy supposed
wife in peculiar and certainly I'M
pleasant position.
Work was continued all Of New Years
dav and in the afternoon two more re-
spondents were called in to plead. They
were John A. Edwards and Mrs. Ida
Cady, both of Granville, and they were
each charged with adultery on the states
attorneys information. 1t appearing
that the parties were paupers and so
without means, G. l.. Hasseltine was as
signed by the court for their defense.
After consultation with their counsel
each prisoner came into court and
pleaded not guilty. The trial of Ed
wards was thereupon begun and Mrs.
Cady was taken back to Jail. The case
occupied the rest Of the afternoon and
was taken up again Thursday morning.

"Uncle Toms Cabin"
The public never seems to tire Of the
old plays that have merit. With hun
dreds of new pieces put upon the boards
each year, it is certainly a remarkable
fact that the standard attractions, which
have been witnessed for years and years,
by the old and young of every gener-
alton, maintain and even Increase their
hold on the public OF this kind is "Uncle
Toms Cabin" a play that will be pre-
scented with big, strong, acting COM
pany at the opera house, Middlebury, on
Monday, Jan. 6, by Ketchum's Company.
The production will be in every way
worthy of the piece, and special scenery,
mechanical effects, incidental music and
all properties used by the best companies
will positively be shown with this
company. "Uncle Toms Cabin" is the
greatest purely American play eyer
written.

The Burlington Free Press In the
course of an editorial on the undulatory
theory OF light, against which Editor
Battell of the Middlebury REGISTER has
declared war, takes occasion to remark I:
"We, with our limited intelligence, fail
to understand how physicist can admit
a connection even accidental, of one
thing in the physical world with some
thing that has no existence" There is
no evidence of limited intelligence here.
1t seems to us that the Free Press is
standing upon pretty firm ground. A
connection between zone thing" with
"something'' that has no existence
ought not to be admitted. But, Brer F.
p, how can something" have no
existence? Editor Battell is the man
who has made all this trouble. Without
any particular warning he has taken his
stand with Sir Issac Newton in favor of
the corpuscular theory of light and
against the undulatory theory of the
evolutionists. He looks upon the latter
with "absolute horror and disgust"
Well, we confess to some doubt as to
the sOundness of the undulatory PROPOSE
ton, although we would not offend
the physicists by declaring with any
degree of emotion that there is MOTH
ing in it. The undulatory theory
does not fill US with "hOrror and dis
gust" but rather with curiosity. If the
shadow of Fletcher Proctor's form
which is seen from time to time fitting
about our political centers cannot be
called undulatory, then what in the
name of common sense would you call
it? This is pretty deep question and
we do not expect to see it solved, at
least until after the next state Repub-
lican convention.
The Middlebuy Record civilly says /:
The Middlebury REGISTER, in column
article dealing with the theories prOmul-
gated IN Col. Battell's book "Ellen," an
nOunces that Prof. j. j. Thomson of
Oxford University, England, has aband-
oned the undulatory theories which are
the special object of "Ellen's" attack.
Col. Jas. Nj. ingalls, of the L. S. army is
also inclined to coincide in the refutation
and quotes +. A. Murray of Ottumwa,
Ia, along the same lines, concluding his
letter thus: "Your book may be better
known hundred years from now than
by the present generation" 1t Is quite
possible that those who gave Col. Battell
the laugh may have new light on the
subject later.
