Should Stars Knock Together the Fire
g.. ~ Would BE Indeseribabls.5. s. ~. =.
*: Professor Ledger Of London, whose
series Of Gresham astronomy lectures ON
:. Knocks In Their Relation to Astrono-;
my" has been completed, in his last dis:
course pointed ont that the universe,
instead Of being fixed, is alive with mo-
ton, each star with it's attendant plan
cts hurrying through space. If star were
to knock against star the intense heat
and fierce fire. generated by the enor-.
nous velocity and vast momentum Of
the two masses would be such as to pass
human conception. :
1t may be that the sun was formed by
the collision of two stars. The effect Of
two such bodies attracting each other
and meeting would be to reduce them
to a violently agitated gaseous mass,
which would oscillats, first inward, pro-
ducing Uncomfortable heat, and then out
ward again, ultimately assuming the
condition of the sun. The general re-
suit would be that the two bodies would
revolve around their common center, OF
gravity-that is to say, around each 9th
er-creating double star Lord Kel.
vim has calculated that if $4,000, 900
solid globes, each Of the mass of the
moon, should be scattered over spher-
ical surface 100 times the radius OF the
earth 3 orbit, they would come together
and be raised to q temperature OF
10000 degrees They would oscillate
outward and inward, reaching to less
distance each time, and ultimately set
thing down into a sphere.
The nebul@ we see around US may,
Professor Ledger suggests, have been
produced by the knocking together Of
two great bodies rather than by the ag-
gregation of many smaller ones. The
collision of two huge suns would thus
lead torcjuvenescence and the formation
of new systems. Phenomena indicating
that something very much in the nature
of collision had occurred are the out
bursts of temporary stars such as those
observed by Tycho Brahe in 1879, by
Kepler i'll 1904 and those Of 1848, 1853,
1876, 1885 and 1892, the last being the,
new star -Auriga, which declined through
ten magnltudeS, or became lOO, 900
times less bright in two months. The.
great increase in the light Of comet az
it approaches the sun may be due to
tidal disturbance in the bodies forming
it, causing them to knock against each
other, and thus generate heat and light.
In the same way the twinkling of the
stars may be caused by the knocks of
the molecules of the atmosphere ON the
ether, whose undulations carry their
light to us. The excessively great and
the exceedingly small are all interde-
pendent, and the past, present and prob.
able future Of nebulous bodies all hinge
on the relations they bear to the knocks
Of the molecules of their gases, while
the knocks Of immense bodies depend
ultimately on the knocks Of their constit.
uent atoms. >.

GOOD SIDEWALKS DESIRABLE. :

Essential Points: 70 He Considered Arc
.smoethness and Durability.
Good sidewalks add much to that ap-
pearance Of neatness W hioh every we'll
regulated town strives to attain. and a
little care in their CONSTRUCTION: is only
necessary to achieve this desirable aim.
Sidewalks should he as carefully regu-
lated in their construction. as street
pavements. The idea of pertaitting abut-
ters to- decide upon the A1en1antsf Tor
the rbadways III front .of their prelnisea
should not be entertained for an instant.
But they appear to he given entire free
dom Of choice in relation to sidewalks.
II there is any regulation in this respect
it is regulation that does not regulate
very effectively. While it might be we'll
to permit an abutter to lay the very best
sidewalk that could be had il he so de-
sired, some approach to uniformity Of
standard should be insisted upon, with
in the extent of block at least, and the
character Of the work should never be
allowed to fall below certain mini
num- .
The elements essential to the con-;
struction of a good sidewalk are suf-
Rciently known to~make any falling be-
low the standard inexcusable. Eyenness
and comparative smoothness. combined
with sufficient durability, are the great
considerations. :,
It is important that the people of a
community should be saved as much ia
tigne in walking as possible. They have
60 much more strength left for their
work, and their productive capacity is
correspondingly- enhanced. !. The chief
factor in this matter is the quality of
the footway. A person can probably
walk twice as far over an even sidewalk
as over rough one with: the same ex-
penditure of muscular and nervous en-
ergy. Whoever has given thought t0>the
matter has perceived that, while on a
surface of varying level, considerable
degree Of attention has to be given to
the process of walking in order to ad-
just the action of the muscles to the
spot where the feet are to fall, thus
causing continuously uneven gait. ON
an even surface this attention is not
necessary. In the latter instance walk
!. ing becomes automatic I'M character,
with corresponding economy in phys
ioal energy. &C. = .z*I e.: ;, ::

The mountain is so steep that no

and have it practically lift the car to
