1t Never Came Back.

Ten years ago farmer put his
initials on a silver dollar and went
to town and spent it with a mer-
chant. Before the year was out he
got the dollar back again for poultry
and spent it again. Four times in
six years that dollar came home to
him for products, and three other
times he heard of it in the pockets
of his neighbors. The last time he
got it in exchange tour years ago,
he sent it to Chicago mail order
house that has amassed $1,000 600
selling third rate goods at first rate
prices. He has not seen that dollar
since and never will. That dollar
will never pay any more school tax
or road taA for him; never help
build up town or community, never
bless or brighten the home of his
neigbbor. He sent it entirely out
of the circle of usefulness to him.

Four Ecl1pses In 1908.

There are to be four eclipses dur
ing the year 1905. Two of these
are to be eclipses of the sun and
two Of the moon, but only one of
them will be visible in this portion
of the country. This will be a
partial eclipse of the moon, which
will occur on the night of August
14-15 and which will be visible in
all parts of North and South
America. There will be total
eclipse of the sun August 30, which
will be visible in the eastern part of
North America, the north Atlantic
ocean and in Europe. The other
eclipse OF the year is an eclipse of
the moon February 1870, which
will be invisible in America, but
which will be noticeable in Europe,
Asia, Africa and Australia. An
annular eclipse Of the sun will
occur March 6, visible only in

HANDSOME CALENDARS.
Herald Job Rooms Turn Out a Fine
Lot for Customers.

AS nice lot of calendars as was
ever furnished patrons in Lancaster
and vicinity left the Herald job
rooms the past week for several
firms from whom they may be OBJ
tanned for the asking.
Among the establishments to re-
ceive them were L. Alt e Sons,
John Schreiner e Sons, Nathan
Grocery Co., Thomas & Orrick of
Potosi, Brittin CHAM & Hixon Lum-
Der Co., Grant County Agricultural
Assn, and w. B Dyer.
The Herald will make a speciality
of the calendar business next
year and we earnestly desire all
merchants and others who annually
purchase calendars for 1906 to see
the elegant line of samples we in
tend to obtain from three different
houses as well as get our prices
before ordering from travelling
statesmen from abroad whose lines
will hardly equal our own.
"A Lancaster dealer showed us a
calendar the other day that cost
him So per 100 which we could have
furnished him at 81 and he was
surprised to hear it.
There is but little work in the job
printing line that Herald printers
cannot handle with our extensive
equipment-al we ask is that we
be given an opportunity of placing
an estimate on the same.

then the crater has shown little activity, though

However, before proceeding to consider the
evidence offered by Kilauea and its attendant vol
canoes-ev1dence new to me at east-let us briefly
review existing knowledge concerning the moons
origin In order to understand it, we must first
consider the mutual influences that the earth and
moon exert upon each other at the present time.
We all know that the moon creates double tide
upon the earth. If there no continents to
interfere, and if the ocean deep enough, one of
these tides would be always the side of the earth
toward the moon, and the other tide the oppo-
site side. There are two tides, because in one case
the water nearest the is pulled away from
the center of the earth and in the other case the
center of the earth is pulled away from the water
that is still farther from the moon. This pulling
force of the moon acts on the continents that
opposite sides of the earth well the oceans,
but the continents being solid cannot yield and so
move all in piece and only the oceans show the
effect of the pull.
As the result of the tides and the earths rotation
large bodies of water being constantly moved
about over the earths surface. We may indeed
consider the earth a wheel steadily revolving
between two friction brakes much as grlndstone
might do The result of this action is that the speed
of the earth's rotation is constantly diminishing,
every day being little longer than its predecessor.
That this may not occasion alarm among those who
work by the hour, | hasten to add that the total
lengthenng of the day that has taken place since
the beginning of the Christian amounts to only
small fraction of second. But this was not al
ways In the early days, before the oceans
appeared, and when large part of the solid earth
was molten matter, tremendous tides occurred in
this of liquid rock, tides which were much
efficient in this respect than those in existence.
But if the earths rotation is being constantly
held back by this action of the moon, since action
and reaction are equal and opposite, the moon must
constantly be pulled forward in it's orbit by the
earth If the moons velocity is accelerated, its
centrifugal force will be increased, and result it

year before, and since the action is obviously
continuous in early times it is certain not only
that the earth revolved faster its axis but also
that the revolved nearer to the earths surface
In those early days, since the moon was nearer
the tides must have been higher, and therefore
effective SO that these actions must have been still
more pronounced than they are at present. Carry
ing the process back therefore to it's beginning we
to time when the moon must have laid close
to the earths surface, and when the earth must
have revolved exceedingly fast
1t has been shown by Professor George H OAR
win son of the eminent naturalist that at the time
when the moon nearly touched the earth's surface
the earth must have revoved on its axis once in
about three hours instead of once in twenty-four.
Now it can readily be shown that if the earth was
to revove its axis in little less than three hours
portions of its surface near the equator would be
likely to fly away by centrifugal force.
As the original c1oudlets from which the earth
was formed coalesced and revolved about the sun,
they rotated upon their common axis and as they
condensed they must necessarily have rotated
more and more rapidly. This rotation was doubt
less somewhat diminished by the action of the tides
produced in them by the sun, but as we have seen
at a much later time, when the moon the
earth they were revolving in about three hours.
The presence of the moon must have already pro-
duced a retardng action, SO that little earlier,
before the moon appeared, they must have been
revolving still faster.
But this high speed could have been attained
in only comparatively small body, body, that
is to say, little larger than the earth is at present
As its speed of rotation increased its centrifugal
force must have increased also consequently objects
its equator must have become lighter and
lighter, and the solar tides must have risen higher
and higher. Thus action went on, gradually becom-
ing more and more critical, until one day a catas-
trophe occurred. catastrophe of such magnitude
as has never been seen upon the earth before or
snce-fve thousand million cubic miles of material
left the earths surface again to return to it.
Whether it all left at or the action was pro-
1onged we do not know but we may try in vain to
imagine the awful uproar and fearful volcanic
phenomena exhibited when a planet was cleft in
twain and planet born into the solar
system. This the moons origin
AS to how long ago this separation occurred
entirely in the dark but know that as astro-
