is also certain that ready markeis

that this must stimulate industrial

", and the rings oil Saturn have
had "a similar origin by the cap.
ture ot waste nebulosity once cir
culating around the sun. When
this matter is once brought in near
the planet, it cannot again escape,
but must stay there permanently
because IN the space near the
planet the planets attraction is
supreme
In the case of the terrestrial
moon, however, more than usual
uncertainty existed MS TO how this
large satellite originated and a
special investigation OF the prob.
lem had to he made. The moons
mass is relatively very large,
aboat one-eighticth oil the earth's
mass; and then Darwin's argument
that the moon had once been a part
OF the earth had to be overcome.
This Prot. See says, he had prov
ed automatically that our moot
too had been captured and had
come to US from the heavenly
spaces.
IL was, he saws, originally a
planet like Mercury, hut not quite
so large, and moved about the sun
at nearly the same distance rs the
earth. Then it came between the
sun and the earth in such a way as
to enter the neck oil the space re.
sembling a bottle neck projecting
from the suns sphere OF control
and enclosing the earth This neck
was quite small and narrow, hat
the bulb OF space enclosing the
earth and constituting its sphere
OF attraction was OF considerable
size. When the moon had once
lett the suns control and gone in.
to the bulb about the earth, it met
with some resistance, and the neck
became closed, so that the moon
was bottled up" under the earth's
control and could not escape.
Hence it has remained with the
earth yer since, and will always
abide with us.
BY revolving about the earth in
the space controlled 10y our planet,
the moon has met with considerable
resistance, and its orbit has he.
com" smaller and smaller and also
rounder and rounder. Thus il has
come nearer and nearer the earth,
hut has been closer than AT
present. Thus" he concludes,
Darwin's theory OF the moon $
detachment from the earth is over
thrown, and an entirely new theory
developed which has the support
oi all thu highest mathematical SCI
ence 10Y known"
In a second paper communicated
to the Astronomical Society Of the
Pacific tonight, Prof. See explain
ed the famous outstanding Unequal
ity OF six seconds in the secular
acc~rleration OF the moons mean
motion. lie said this perturbation
in the moons motion had been
discovered by HALEY in the time
OF Newton. Ii was partially ex-
planned by Laplace in 1887, but
gravity alone would mol account
Tor the observed acceleratinn since
the time OF the Chaldeans, 72o Is.
C., and the outntanding difference
had perplexed the greatest mathe-
maiicians Tor than a century
Having discovered that the moon
was originally captured, aud was
still slowly nearing the earth.
Prot. See said he had removed the
last difficulty, and the result would
be- n decided Improvement in as.

Kills Self by Accident.

Hillsboro, Texas, Nov 30.--Jesse
Beatty, aged 10 years, son of NJ. p.
Beatty of Irene, was killed near his
home about noon Saturday by the
accidental discharge of a shotgun in
his own hands. In company with his
father and a younger brother he haI
gone to Richland creek to get some
wood, the party taking the gun with
them for the purpose of shooting
game should any be found. The
youth in picking the gun up took
hold of it near the muzzle, and when
drawing 1t toward him the hammer
of one barrel struck some object,
causing a discharge, the load of shot
taking effect in his right breast i'm
mediately under the nipple and pro-
ducing death instantly.

Kitchen Pans Are Hurt

Chester, Pa, Nov. 30.--While
Mrs. Jacob Foster was sitting in her
kitchen pairing potatoes a bullet
whiZZed over her head and crashing
into an array Of pots, pans and ket-
ties, buried itself in the wall
The racket and the fact that she
had been so close to death unnerved
her and caused her to fall into a
swoon. Members of the family rush.
ed in, and, finding Mrs. Jacobs on
the floor, thought she had been
shot.
An investigation showed that the
bullet, which had evidently been
fired by boys shooting at target on
a lot opposite the house, had only
carried away lock OF hair from the
woman's head.

anese mating annually amounting to something like twenty million yards. The most of this is cheap and coarse, put other varieties are as fine as a Pauama nat. They are now making new pailerps with raised figures. l have just ordered a roll sent home which looks like biocad- ed silk woven of straw.
 This mating is made out of a reed which grows about here It has no knots and is much like rice, although its seed has no value. It is planted and cultivated in the same way and is well dried and bleached before it is sold The mating is dyed with analine eolors. It is woven like cloth but all the pieces have to be put in by hand. The work is tedious, and of the finer varieties two men and an assistant can make not more than three rolls per month.
 The Japanese are now weaving beauti- ful straw rugs in flowers and other pat terms and these are exceedingly cheap. l have bought some about six by ten feet in size at 50 or 60 cents each and the highest price I have paid for any mating Is less than 20 cents gold per yard.
 The Native cottons.
 The most beautiful cottons made here are intended for native consumption They are not much more than foot wide and are artistically printed in designs far different from the loud figures used on the goods intended for the United States markets. The cotton crepe for home use is beautiful and it would have a big sale in the United States for cur tains if it were sent there. The Jap anese use it for their every day summer kimonos.
 Another interesting manufacture of cot ton is that which the native people employ here for toweling. These have gay fig ure printed in white and blue. Every firm has its own design and not a few of the native hotels give away towels of this kind to their guests. Within the past few years quite craze has sprung up among the foreign ladies visiting

ally decreasing, and more and more Of the work is being done in the factories. 1t Is this houseweaving industry which consumes great part of the cotton yarn manufactured here. and it is on hand looms that the most of that which is exported to China and Korea is woven. Many small mills are springing up, some worked by steam and others by water power and electricity The center of the weaving industry is about Osaka, which Is also the center of the spinning industry That city has more than twenty thousand houses tn which weaving Is done. It has scores of large factories and the smoke from their stacks makes the town seem more like Plttsburg than any in Japan. Osaka Is now as big as Philadelphia and it has grown greatly within the past few years.
 Japanese Mating.
 This region is the center of the mating industry There are many factories about Osaka bay and here in Kobe which make millions of yards of mating for exeport and millions of mats for home consump- tion. The Japanese do not use mating like that exported to the United States. The most common carpet here is made up of white straw woven into mats inch thick a yard wide and two yards long. These mats are the unit of surface measurement for almost everything. The rooms of the houses are rectangular and their sizes are estimated at the number of mats 1t takes to cover them. When a man orders a house built he directs that it be one of so many mats and tie cost of construction is based upon that estimate These mats are bound with black cloth and as they fit close the floor is covered with a number of these white rectangles surrounded by black. Japan uses over fourteen million such mats every year and also three or four million pieces of ordinary mating of the same shape. The value of the whole is several million dollars.
 As to mating for export, the manu- facture of that began less than twenty years ago, and 1t now brings in some thing like five million dollars a year. Almost the whole of this export is to the United States, our purchases of Jap

1 cotton; and there are steamship lines which connect Kobe with the big cities on almost all the Chinese rivers. The demand for cotton goods at home is steadily in- creasing and there a great effort will be made to push the trade in Corea and Manchuria.
 At present there are 11S mills in the country devoted to spinning alone; and ! these have more than 1.5O0 600 spindles. They make almost a million bales of cot ton yarn annually; and have a profit therefrom of nine or ten million dollars. I have before me figures showing some of the dividends paid In 1905 every cot ton mill in Japan paid from 10 to 70 per cent, and in 1906 there were 10 companies which paid all the way from Is to 45 per cent. In 1907 there were two which paid 50 per cent; and the Tokio Grand Yarn company has paid as high as 70 per cent Nearly all these companies are adding to their surprises and are charging off good amounts to the depreciation of their build ings and machinery
 Cotton Weaving.
 So far the Japanese have not done q great deal in weaving cotton, but they are now making enough sheeting every year to carpet a road wide as Penn sylvania avenue, in Washington for a distance of sixty thousand miles. Such carpet would reach twice around the world at the equator and leave more than enough over to cover a similar path , way through it's center. There are now a number of large mills with something like ten thousand looms They grew rapidly during the war with Russia, for the army then needed quantities of goods and the prices rose. The cost of blankets went up 100 per cent and some of the mills were kept busy making kahki. Of what the war required it Is estimated that Japan supplied TO per cent and only imported 30 per cent.
 In addition to the work of the weaving factories. an enormous amount was done in the houses on hand looms. There are now almost million homes in which weaving is carried on and there are hundreds of thousands of people who work these. The number was more than a million ten years ago, but 1t is gradu-
