ring theory OF the nebular hypothesis
for the creation OF the universe which has
stood service for more than a century in

terday by Prof. f. r. Moulton OF the Uni
versity Of Chicago, who believes that he
has made the real solution OF the evolu-
tion OF our solar system.
Assisted by Prof. Thomas C. Chamber
lain, head OF the geology department.
Professor Moulton has been working for
more than four years 10 disprove the
ring theory and to set up what he
terms the spiral theory. The results OF
their researches were made known yester-
day in a lecture on "The evolution OF the
solar system" delivered by Professor
Moulton.
The ring theory was brought out by
la Place In 1890 and has been accepted AL
most universally US 10 the present time" ;"
declared Prof. Moulton. THE theory
which Professor Chamberlain and myself
hold is the spiral theory. We believe 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 to-
wards the disturbing sun Ordinarily II
would have been straight up. but the dis
turibng sun moved around in an elliptical

thrown of were I'm a spiral direction, one
