THEORIES ABOUT THE SUN.
No Immediate Danger that II win
Burn Itself Out.

No Immediate Danger that II VIII
Burn Itself Out.
The current theories concerning the
sun and the planets are that the sun
was once vastly hotter than It is now,
and that for long period 1t has been
slowly but steadily cooling. This doc
trine is built ON the notion that the
sun Is mass of fire In progress Of in.
tense and fierce combustion, and that,
like any other fire, unless its fuel Is
replenished, 1t must burn out and be-
come extinguished. Some astronomers
teach that the sun is supplied with
fuel by vast quantities of comets and
lueteors that are shoveled into 1t by
some process of nature but other as
tronomers like Sir Robert Ball reject
the possibility OF any such systematic
supply of fuel, and they believe that
the sun as 1t burns out shrinks in size
at the rate of 220 feet OF its diameter
IN year, AS the mass Of the sun IA
something like $4,000 miles to diam
eter, 1t is calculated still to last for a
good long time, but there is something
extremely melancholy and saddening
In the idea that our grand lumlnary
VIII one day burn out with a spas
modlc CLEAN and a Whit OF ill-small.
Ing smoke like the SNUFF Of a candle.
1t Is with great satisfaction that we
are allowed to believe In the POSSIBLE
ity that the sun Is made Of radlum,
and that 1t can continue to give off
heat and light for an inconcelvablo
lapse OF ages without being In the
least diminished either In size or ca
pacity to warm and illuminate us. The
Idea that 1t is not losing go feet of Its
diameter yearly Is particularly consol-
ing.
There is another suggestion which
would enable our solar system to con-
tlnue Its operations without either
suffering an instantaneous conflagra-
ton or being consumed by slow com
bustlon, and this is that the sun and
the various bodies which revolye
around 1t constitute an electric dyna-
mo and an incandescent lamp on such
o scale as could be designed and Gre
ated by combined omnlscience ind
omnlpotence, to go on its benefcent
course forever. Such a notion meets
only the contempt Of science, which in
sists upon the existence of actual fire
In the sun, that must sooner or later
burn itself out to complete exfin-
guishment. Until, however, astrono-
mers like Prof, Langley shall make
a flying machine without balloon at
tachment that will enable human be-
ings to fly, their vasarles concerning
the playlng-out Of the sun may well
be neglected by all except full-hedged
scientists, Orleans PIcayune.

the United States army of the future

ing the story of his "needle and thread

Seyenty-six years ago, when Parme-
lee was u years old and living with
his parents at Byron, N. Y, he decided
to leave home. The family was poor
and the boy considered himself old
enough to make his own livelihood
His parents granted their consent re-
luctantly, and the son arranged for a
Job" in a stage coach office at Erie
Pa. He was not concerned as to the
manner in which he was to reach that
point because his future employers
were willing to transport him most Of
the way and he could walk if he had
to. The day Of his departure his moth
er bade him good-by in this fashion,
Franklin, wish your father was
able to give you little money to start
on, but you know he hasn't got it. Now
then, Franklin, your mother, who
thinks a good deal more Of you than
you ever imagined, is going to give
you bit of advice and something else
with it, and she wants you to treasure
both of them.
above all things | want you to
take great deal of pride in yourself
and just make up your mind that you
are going to be successful. And you
must always keep neat and clean and
keep your clothes in good repair and
don't let the buttons come off or else
you won't respect yourself. Now then,
I'm going to give you a reminder"
The mother held out her hand and
young Parmelee reached for the ire

thread with needle stuck through 1t
crosswise.
The boy kissed his mother and put
the thread and needle in his carpet
bag. Then he started out for Erie. q
He afterward went to work on the
lakes, saved money. started a street
car line in Chicago and later engaged
in the express business.

MANNERS OF CHILDREN.

Neglected Youngsters Are "A Menace

Every child should be taught at

Each nation has Its own peculiar
customs for its children, and the small
folk must abide by the teachings of
the elders. / think the young Ameri-
cans can hold their own with the
young people Of any nation, remember
ing, of course, that one country may
have a prettier way Of displaying the
same courtesy than another. The

NAVAL CADET VEGETARIAN.
Midshipman from Ohio Is Carrying Ont
This Idea.

Midshipman from Ohio Is Carrying Out
This Idea.
For the first time in the history of
the naval academy at Annapolis a
vegetarian has been admitted as a
midshipman. His name Is Charles w.
Adair, and he halls from Xenia, Ohio,
says the Philadelphia North American.
The question that now confronts the
young man, and one that will be close
ly considered by the authorities. is
whether or not he will be able to 60
through the course of four years and
remain steadfast to his principles.
Right at the start 1t may be said that
1t is a thousand to one he cannot.
While Uncle Sam is willing to pay
young men to aid in an investigation
of pure, or rather impure, foods, to
feed them on borax and to watch them
fade away upon diet Of cold storage
food, he is not inclined to take any
chances with the young fellows who
are to be his military and naval off,
GERS.
Medical men who have studied the
question Of diet for the cadets have
fixed upon certain classes of foods as
being good for them, from both phys
ical and mental point Of view. The
diet contains items Of flesh and fowl
and fish. OF course, there are vegeta.
bles in plenty, but the question of
whether the variety is sufficient for the
new MILDLY TO make the needful ration
without eating meat is one not difficult
to answer In the negative.
The physical examination passed by
Mldshipman Adair was most excellent.
81 found him." said Director Bogart,
"to be a normally built youth. He is
within a few months Of 20 years of
age. He Is five feet ten and three
quarter inches tall and 1888 pounds in
weight. His strength is normal, a lit
tie better than the average.
Like all midshipmen, Adair has GER
tain minor defects, and for these spe-
cial exercises are prescribed, the doc
tor went on. "He asplres to play on
the football team and he seems to pos
sess the physique to make a valuable
member But the work is hard here.
II the vegetable diet is not sufficient
to keep him in absolutely normal
health, we shall insist upon his chang
"a
ing 1t. We must have sound young
men, and no fads shall be permitted
to stand In the way.
For the present, however, see no
reason for interference. l think It a
wen-established fact that Americans
