space it now occupies. 1t is hardly possibIa for II
after that to continue to furnish as mich heat as
it does now, but it must then cool off with great
a%apidity.
This reasoning is based on the supposition that
the sun is not yet a solid body, but is so hot that
Its mass is still in a gaseous state. But the force
OF gravity upon the sun is so great that the gas is
compressed into a much smaller proportionate COM
pass than 1t is on the earth. The force of gravity
on the surface of the sun is q times that on the
earth, so that a man weighing $50 pounds on the
earth would weigh nearly two tons on the sun. So
great is this pressure of gravity on the gases of
the sun that are they reduced to one-quarter the
density of the solid nucleus of the earth. But so
Kong as the nucleus Of the sun continues to be
gaseous 1t viii continue to grow hotter as it dimin-
Ishes in size. So soon, however, as it loses suf-
f1cient heat TO allow the material to take on the
solid form, a crust will be formed and the radiat-
ing heat will rapidly diminish. Probably, also,
the heat radiated will diminish long before that
time, even though the sun is growing hotter, be-
cause Of the diminishing size of the globe.
The only way that the astronomers can see to
avoid this slow paralysis of the sun, and so of the
whole solar system, is that lately proposed by Prof.
langley in a sensational article depicting what
would happen if a dark world moving at an incred-
fble speed in space should come so near our sun
that the two would collide. In this case the origi-
nal heat of the sun might be restored, but the ca
fastrophe would practically produce such an ex-
mansion of it's volume and such an increase of its
radiating power that everything on the earth would
he burned up, producing about such phenomena as
are described by the Apostle Peter. Indeed, the re-
semblance between the words of the apostle and
sbe theory of the Washington astronomer was as
striking as it was unexpected, so much so that some
renders may not know from which source the fol-
lowing quotation IL taken:

that relating to injunctions will re-

criticism from Democratic sources

Mr.. Taft it is said, will declare his
