World Development.

The hypothesis of world develop
ment from spiral nebulae, which was
SO widely discussed about 20 years
ago, but which of late years has been
seriously questioned, has been
strengthened somewhat recently by
the explanation that worlds are
formed not by the condensation Of
rings gradually solidified from tenu-
Gus nebulae, but rather by great
masses thrown of or detached from
the parent mass Of a nebula by the
centrifugal force of the rotation.
Photographs of nebulae disclose such
masses in process of detachment, and
most astronomers are now inclined to
the belief that this Is the way in
which all planetary bodies have been
formed The heavens show thousands
of spiral nebulae which are evidently
in a state Of rotation in central nuclei
and which indicate that they will
probably be consolidated into suns
and solar systems similar to our own

that time gave evidence Of their will

David Belasco's drama Of old Japan,

for man to play the short part of

caught the fancy Of Herne to snch a

William T. Reid, Jr., for the last two
years in charge Of football at Harvard
was asked this question: What has
been accomplished toward establishing
a coaching system Of permanency and
what are the future prospects Of foot
bali at Harvard?" Reid's reply was:
When / came east two years ago ]
found the football situation at Har-
ward just about as | expected to find
It; that is to say, matters we're pretty
well tangled up. This was due, Of
course, to the fact that with an annual
change in policy, each head coach usu-
ally having had but one year at the
work, no system had been established
or even started, each coach finding 1t
all he could do to struggle through
his own incumbency without attempt
ing to do anything for the future 1t
took a good part of the first year to
get the needs of the situation in mind
and to act upon few Of the most I'M
portant things. Then came the dark
ages during which it seemed doubtful
whether there would be any more foot
ball Harvard football emerged from
this uprooting on something Of new
basis. Graduates and freshmen were
debarred from the teams, mass play
was abolished, and a new game evolv-
ed. Therefore much that had been
done to start a system was under
mined, and in many ways a new be
ginning had to be made. The start
was made, and it is my feeling thai
football at Harvard is now in condi
ton where if the policy as laid out Ii
carried on for at least another year
better and better teams should bt
turned out with less and less effort
II, on the other hand, the start already
made ID not followed up, we shall sooI
be back where we were prior to 1905
The situation seems to me. to be ;
healthy one, and | hope to see mex
year great progress made along th'
lines which all Harvard men recognize
as the only sound ones-the establish
ment Of consistent system base
upon experience"

ehum's father was the stage manager

way home at luncheon she was told
that the little girl who played the
boys part was i'll and that somebody
was desired to take her place. The
