WALLACE, THE GREAT SCIENTIST


In a recent issue of the INDEPENDENT, ALFRED Russell Wallace,
ONE OF THE GREATEST SCIENTISTS THE WORLD HAS KNOWN,
in al areumentative article apparently proves that this earth IS te enser
of activity of the universe, and that everything else in the unrverse rs fr te
Seized pom as was natural by man. ministers as indirect proof OF TN story OF

the outer edge of the universe of stars am even beyond. He draws thu
conclusion because the larger recent telescopes seemingly do lot disclose many
NJ stars at all are visible; and if there was n 8 limit to star filled space,
these holes, would of course be stopped U with stars somewhe IN sne I'M
measurable distance.
Then he shows that this "edse of he universe is apparently equidistant
in all directions from our solar system, n that our solar system IS IN al
most the exact center. of the plane of the Milky Way, hence eup an
5unqu position in the Universe md is probably the hih ISM Muck I'M.

Next, from the study # conditions which he thinks necessary to sustain
life, ant all of which ne does not believe obtain on any other planet ne eon-
hat our w earth is The only Inhabited planet IN or solar system,
and If course if this soar system, being centrally located md protected
from the cold utter blackness by billions of stars, etc.. is able 70 produce
life n only oe planet, it is not at all KEY has any planet OF any os"er s0~r
system is inhabited.
Hence: The earth is the principle planetary body in existence The whole
universe was created for the sole benefit of man Zane. Woman On this earth,
and The earth is the center physically and spiritually of M MYERS
So far MIR. Wallace goes. Now, the United. States is me sreasest eounty
