The Gjertsen Bill informally Discussed IN
the Senate Con1nittee

the Senate Committee.
An informal meeting: Of the senate com
mittee on the soldiers home to-day dis
cussed Senator Gjertsen's bill regarding
the withholding Of pensions from the in
mates Of the home. Under the present
law the management is allowed to retain
for general maintenance all pension money
IN excess OF 81 per month BY Mr.. Gjert-
sens bill the management is expressly
prohibited from interfering in any man
ner with the pension money of any in
mate.
The measure has created much inter-
est among the Grand Army men and will
probably be one Of the principal sub
jects for discussion at the G. A. R. en-
campment to be held this month in ST.
Paul. There are several veterans on the
soldiers home committee, and they sug-
gested that action be deferred until after
the encampment, to secure the general

RADIUM AND THE SUMS AGE.
Prot Darwin's solar Theories Are
the Outcome of Recent scien-
tinc Discoveries.


A new phase OF the discussion aroused
by the wonderful properties of radium
has been opened by Prof George II. Dar-
win, best known as the son OF the father
Of Darwinism, Darwin. and as a math-
ematician Of great ability, who invented
the tidal wave theory of the birth of
the moon from the earth, writes Prof.
Garrett p Servlss In an exchange
Pros. Darwin appeals to the newly
discovered soeres OF energy contained
in atoms. and illustrated by the contin-
ual radiation given forth from radium
and other substances, for a means of
vastly prolonglng the age and the fu-
ture existence OF the sun Lord Kelvin
many years ago calculated upon the
basis OF the then known laws Of matter
and energy. that the sun could hardly
have existed as light-giving body
more than one hundred million years
and upon similar grounds the fu-
ture duration of the sun has beer es-
timated at not more than ten and pos
sibly Dot more than Ave million years,
This, TO be sure. would be ample time
for the ripening of all present human
schemes. but Il is brief period in
astronomical reckoning, and one hardly
likes to think Of the sun as going out so
soon.
But now comes Prof, Darwin with the
very comforting assurance that the sun
must be very much longer lived than we
have hitherto supposed. Knowing as
we do. he says, that an atom OF matteris
capapeble OF containing an enormous
store OF energy In itself we have no right
TO assume that the sun cannot liberate

According to this view, we may re-
