Santa Fe Routes Through Freight to

and From Gulf Over New Line.
Through traffic to and from the
state of Texas on the Santa Fe rail-
road will hereafter be routed over the
Eastern Oklahoma line of the
Santa Fe.
The Eastern Oklahoma line is a
parallel line with the main line of the
Santa F'e to the Gulf It branches off
at Newkirk just south of Arkansas
City, Kan, and against connects with
the main line at PauTs Valley. The
branch line was built to escape some
exceptionally heavy grades and sharp
curves which exist on the main line.
The branch which hereafter will be
known as the main line for through
traffic is thirty-five miles longer than
the old line, but on account of the
fact that it is built with sharp curves
and heavy grades eliminated, the same
running can be made over the line as
on the short line. At the same time
each engine can haul about one-third
more tonnage over the new line than
over the old
The superintendents are in Topeka
at the present time stringing the time
cards for the through freight trains
via this line. The passenger service
and the local freight service Will not
be disturbed.

NEW THEORY OF WORLD CREATION.
Old Nebular Hypothesis Is Torn to
Pieces

Chicago (SpeciaD D.--I.a Places ring
theory of the ncbular hypothesis for the
creation of the universe which has stood
service for more than a century in the
scientific world, was torn to pieces by
Prof +. r. Moulton. OF the University
Of Chicago who believes that he has
made the real solution Of the evolution
OF our solar system. Assisted by Prof
Thomas c. Chamberlain. head OF the
geology department, Professor Moulton
has been working Tor more than four
years to disprovc the ring theory and
TO set up what he terms the spiral
theory. The results OF their researches
were made known III lecture on The
Evolution of the Solar System" delivered
by Professor Moulton.
"The ring theory was brought ont
by La Place in 1906, and has been ac-
cepted almost universally TIP to present
time" said Professor Moulton, The
theory which Professor Chamberlain and
myself hold is the spiral theory. We be
leve a second sun--a disturbing sun
moved down near our sun and caused
on Our sun enormous tides, thousands
of miles high. The tides were similar
to the tides OF the sea. One tide was
at the point nearest the disturbing sun
and the other tide was on the opposite
side
"The matter shot towards the disturb
ing sun. Ordinarily it would have been
straight up, but the disturbing sun moved
around in an elliptical sort OF orbit;
Consequently, all the masses thrown off
were in a spiral direction one after an
other. which accounts for the orbits
of the planets. The swollen masses were
attracted to the large nuclei, which made
them into planets"
