Our Lies Work,

We are not sent into this world to
do anything into which we cannot
put our hearts. We have certain work
to do for our bread and that is to be
done strenuously; other work to do
for our delight and that is to be done
heartily; neither is to be done by
halves or shifts, but with will; and
what is not worth this effort is not to
be done at all.-John Ruskin.

NEW ROAD TO DISTINCTION
C. w. Perkins Gays Men Who Could
Be Enormously Rich but Won't
VIII Have Best Regulations.

George W. Perkins, who has sew
cred his connection with the firm Of
j. p. Morgan & Co., in order to de-
vote his time to public work, said the
other day at a Union League club
dinner that he had made up his
mind that a man could no longer OBJ
tain distinction in America by the
mere making Of money-that was
too common.
Mr.. Perkins implied that for the
future the highest and most distin-
guished regulations in this country
will be achieved by men who could
be enormously rich but won't-men
who devote exceptional financial tall
ents to the solution of economic
problems-in the interest of the
people. Speaking still more recent
ly before the Quill club, Mr.. Perkins
unfolded his meaning at some
length. He undertook to speak of
corporations, capital, labor and prof
Its as if he we're a financial expert

licl Nobody will deny that the pub
lie is in sore need Of skillful econom-
ic counsel. And if Mr.. Perkins sue

distinction-a path fresh with the

STARS MADE IN MILKY wwt@TdRE m Love WITH You
New Theory Concerning the Birth Of
Worlds Is Expounded by Pro
lessor From New Zealand.

A theory, with bearing on the
birth of new worlds, was explained
the other day at the Colonial insti-
tute by Professor Bickerton, who has
been sent to England by the govern
ment of New Zealand and Australia
in order to expound his views.
Mr.. Bickerton is professor Of
chemistry and physics in the univer-
sity of New Zealand. His theory,
briefly explained, is this: The
countless suns of the Milky Way are
known to travel in two great streams
of opposite directions. As they pass
each other at tremendous speed they
attract each other, and in the col
lisions that occur particles are torn
from each star. The two wounded
suns pass on their several ways, but
the particles coalesce and form a
third body-a thing of terrific heat
ana energy.
These are the bodies known to
astronomers as temporary stars"
Owing to the heat involved in its
birth such body explodes and is
finally dissipated into atomic dust.
Professor Bickerton asserts that
his theory, while successfully ac-
counting for the appearance of tenn
porary stars, proves also-that the con-
tinual rejuvenescence of the cosmic
system is in progress, thus giving
evidence of tae eternal character Of
the universe.-Lopdon Correspond
