DID LIFE HAVE A 3EGINNINGp
Theiry That It Has Been Coexist-
ent With Time and Space.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
The latest developments of astro-physics
and philosophy have taken rather sur
prising turn. 1t is now held that life is
and ever has been coeXistent with time
and space; that as we cannot admit that
there ever was a beginning of time or OF
space, and that both of these are OF m
finite extension, so life never began. bu'
always has been. The only effort at dem
onstrating the physical possibility Of this
has been made by Dr. Arrhenius Of Swe-
den who thinks that his theory Of rad1a-
ton pressure is sufficient to account for
the distribution of life throughout the
whole of the universe as We now con-
ceive it. That is to say, he finds that
radiation pressure from our sun, and
from all of the suns which shine at night
in the sky, has been sufficient to prOpel
minute bits of cosmic dust to the confines
of the material world. and that these car
easily have been land are) sufficiently
large to carry the spores of iife to in
f1nfty and, wherever they light. to start a
new creation of life which by evolution
may reach the highest development-man,
for instance.
There is something singularly attractive
about this theory. but it must always re-
main a theory, since absolute demonstra-
ton is impossible. Yet the learned profess
sor thinks that it is fully in accordance
with known laws and that We may accept
J.. 40 WI hNh6 HSpotHcSiS Will 6oOu
deal of confidence. He would probably
admit that life in other worlds nigh,
have a differentiation unlike our own. but
II the evolutiOnists are correct In saying
that all life can be developed from the
slightest germs of prOtoplaSm, he has a
good deal on his side.
The interest in this theory lies in it's ap-
peal to the imagination. 1t makes a
grander conception of the universe than
the oldfashioned notion that this little
earth is alone the abode of life and that
the rest of the universe was created for
our delectation. 1t SENS likely that there
are in the universe, as we understand it,
some hundreds of millions Of burning
dead" suns are many times Us great, SO
that the total number of present or ex-
tinct suns exceeds a billion, not taking
into consideration all of the many satel
lites which may surround each one. The
point made is that If life ever had be-
ginning it can easily be conceived as hav
ing been spread to the confines of the uni
verse. which extend certainly billion Of
billions of miles from u.s. with the proba
bility that there are billions of other uni
verses" SO distant that we have no pos
sible perception of their existence and
never can hope to have any.
The crux Of the theory is that there was
no "beginning' of life any more than OF
time and space and never can be any end
since the universe reproduces by constant
clashes of dead suns resulting in nebulae.
live suns, solar systems and populated
satellites. This is most interesting be-
cause it digniies life to a degree never
before suggested. 1t has no bearing on
that great problem of life beyond except
theoretically to demonstrate it,

Ice Cream Follows the Flag.
From the New York World.


American ice cream also has followed
the flag. 1t is eaten in China India ia
pan. Australia and the Samoan Islands.
And if the original brick is marked Mad =
in New York" the marking is a high trib-
ute to the perfection of the refrigeratins
outfit of the modern liner. Cream in as
sorted favors goes out from this port in
a North German Lloyd steamship. is kept
snug and cold till 1t gets to Europe and
is then transferred to a boat of the COM
pany's far east service.
AS missionary OF good will may one
not almost back ice cream against feet
of battleships? Certainly If all the world
always kept cool there would be no hot
rush into battle. War is a fever and re-
quires a temperature. The manufacture
of American ice cream is no infant indus
try. 1t has so grown up that 1t levies a
daily toll of $4,000 on New York city
alone. at retail rates. No competition is
feared from the pauper freezers of effete
Europe. In bringing 1t to pass that the
sun never sets on American ice cream We
have builded better than the most san
guine Of the fathers anticipated.
