History Of tho Earth.

New York Sun: Professor Chamberlain
of the University of Chicago concludes
that the nebuar hypothesis of Laplace
reeds to be replaced or greatly modified
The parent body out of which the earth
was evolved had only q limited amount
of matter: only Il very small proportion
of this matter, near the exterior was pos
sessed of high energy of motion; the CEN
trail portion had necessarily only low en-
ergy. The earth In its early history NAV
be conceived to have been a small body
growing gradually by the infall of ma
tcrial from without, and lacking In its
carly stages an atmosphere. Gradually
the accretion of atmosphere permitted the
gathering Of water vapor and the oceans
We're in time formed. From this time
forward the oceans protected the infall-
ing matter, for decomposition takes place
more slowly under water than under free
exposure to air. This process continued
gave rise to areas of higher specific gray
lty, and thus the superior specific gray
lily OF regions lying under oceans is ex-
planned From a very early stage vol
canic action arose from the excessive
generation of heat in the interior through
self compression. Volcanic action affects
certain substances more than others and
the present distribution of volcanic prod
ucts is to be explained on these lines. If
the temperature of the earth's interior is
sufficiently accounted for by compression.
then the temperature developed by the
infall of matter may have been available
for the sustenance Of life from a very re-
mote epoch. and the opposing time esti-
mates of biologists and of biologists NAV
be reconciled in this way
