AGE OF THE SUN.

The age of the sun has been for many
years n matter of controversy between
biologists and physicists. The investiga-
tors of tidal friction claim that son or
LOCO million years have ola psed since the
birth of the MOON. and other scientists
from purely geological reasons,
claim the age of the sun to be between
SO and ZOO million years. On tho other
hand. 1t Is asserted by physicists that. at
the rate at which the sun is emitting
energy. it canno nave been active for
more than 20 million years.
A solution of this discrepancy has been
recently suggested by Prof. G. Fl. Darwin,
president Of the association for the adj
vancement of science. in his presidential
address at the recent meeting Of that
body in johannesburg. South Africa. He
claims that the discovery of radium ex-
plains the difference in these estimates.
because it has been shown that con-
centration of matter is not tho only
from which the sun may draw ito
heat. There is every possibility that
radium exists in the sun. and its energy
will he more readily appreciated when it
is considered that. while it requires from
1900 to 5000 tons of coal to propel a 1000
ton ship 6.NO miles at the rate Of Is miles
hour. the same amount of energy is
in % ounces of radium.-Tech-

Ohe west side of the lot will be moved
back to the northwest corner Of the lot

ngc purposes. The other house will re-
main for the present where it now stands.
As soon as the house is moved the

SLANG SHOCKED PROFESSOR.
(From the New York Press.)

There is Il college professor from The

which the University of Chicago is FAM

n lawyer who pro ctices in Jefferson Mar

II fell from the lips of the clients who
were talking over their troubles In che
anteroom While awaiting their legal ad-
visor:
II dug down in my kick for six bits
an told the barkcep' 4 cat it up"
"A harness cop famed mo ard told me

"The goose tried to play dorey Isaac.
but he wanted his bit for ever, thing

;" they talked until they noticed tho
chicago professor taking notes. Then
they ceased.
Il am an admirer Of slang said the
professor in telling of his experience.
'hceause it Is the poetry Of the cor,mon

such as is found among the pcosnrtrv
of every nation. But the poetic in,acerv

COOPERATION AMONG
FARMERS.
Some Difficulties Opposing the AppIlca-
tion Of n Pet Theory.


Among other recommendations made at
the recent session of the National Farm
ers' Congress was that Of n campaign of
education among a~ericulturists in behalf
Of cooperative selling. to the end that
profitable prices may I've obtained on all
farm products. The logic employed in
reaching this conclusion was a bit diff
cult to accept. 1t was asserted that to
prevent the surplus in American farm
products from going on the European
market at such low prices as to prevent
the European farmers from selling their
products in competition with ours, thus
starving them and resulting the estab-
fishing abroad Of tariff walls against
American farm products. which would cut
off foreign markets, it was necessary that
better prices be obtained at home. To
the urbanite the desirability of an adj
vance in the price OF farm products fails
to appeal. He is already paving literally
for what ne gets, hut that is not ncces-
sarily the fault of the producer. The
middlemen all come in for their share of
the profits. and by the time an article has
found it's way into the home it's cost has
increased at Il startling rate.
Cooperative marketing has long been a

BEST SPEED EVER.
Better Than Mile TO Minute by Winner
Of Automobile Race.

Of Automobile Race.
Garden City. Long Island, Oct. Is
No international motor event has ever
been so productive of interesting and
exciting periods or greater bursts OF
speed as has the second Vanderbilt
cup contest hold on the Long Island
course yesterday.
The work Of the leading men was
astonishing. They seemed to throw
care and caution to the winds and
take every chance possible in order
that they might secure the temporary
ownership of the greatest trophy tina
has ever been offered for a motor con-
test in this country.
1t was a race from start to finish.
the first half Of which was ridden at n
speed averaging better thar 10 miles
an hour. while the speed averaged
throughout the entire contest by
Hemery. the French winner, was 61is
miles per hour, an average never at
tanned in either the Gordon Bennett,
the Circuit des A~rdenness. the Paris
Madrid or other events which have
made Europe famous and given her
drivers an opportunity to gain the ex-
%perisnce which means so much to
every man who enters a race.
Heath, last years winner, was sec
ond. Tracy. in an American car, was
third. and Lancia was fourth.
Hemery's automobile was badly dam
aged to-day by fire and one workman
was burned about the head as he at
temped to save the car. 1t is believed
the accident was due to the careless
ness Of a spectator while the machine
was being prepared for shipment to
France at the French headquarters at
Mineola, L. I.
