Among Magazines

In recent. years theories OF noun
tain formation have changed like ev-
erything else scientific. The ancient
belief that the mountains were
muscles" or the backbone" Of the
continents never was scientific at any
time. Instead OF being an extra
layer OF rock that binds the contin-
,ents together, they are the ragged
edges OF the cracks In the masonry
Ior folds in the crust, or extrusions of
internal matter through the cracks.
They are points OF tho crusts weak
ness rather than It's strength. The
new theories bark back to the origin
al formation OF the earth. The con-
ception OF hot drop or a world
swinging in space, gradually cooling
and forming shell as smooth as a
billiard ball, has been party aban-
doned. The nebular hypothesis has
been modified, the sO-called meteroit-
,ic hypothesis has been found made
,quate and the more plausible plan
tessimal theory of Professors Cham
berlin and Salisbury has been put
forth
This latest theory argues the for

,cretions from planetary bodies. 1t
assumes the origin of our solar sys-
tenn in a common spiral nebuls--the
nebula being in thin solid or liquid
state, as suggested by the spectrum

tions of the nebula showing the
most concentration, are the nuclei OF

A LaRue dwelling house, the prop
erty OF Mrs. Frank Werley, OF Ma
rion, was totally destroyed by fire
which broke out shortly after 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon. The house
was occupied by r.. b. Cleveland.
The fire originated from a defect
dve flue and had gained considerable
headway before discovered. The
LaRue FIRE department was sum-
moned, but owing to the absence of
fire chief. N. H. Davis, It was prac-
tically helpless. 1t seemed that the
fire chief is the only person who
fully understands the combination OF
starting the gasoline fire engine and
consequently the department had
nothing with which TO fight the
flames.
The loss of the fire will aggregate
about $1,000. 1t was insured to the
extent of 5000.
