PROVES THEORY OF LAPLACE
Observations by Telescope and Spec
troscope Give Confirmation of
NebuIar Hypothesis.

Percival Lowell reports that at his
observatory in Flagstaff. Ariz.. refined
observations by telescope and spec
troscope give for the first time con-
firmation of the nebular hypothesis as
set forth by Laplace century and
more ago. The subject is too deeply
scientific for popular discussion, but
in general 1t is known that the sup
position rests upon the evolution Of
solar systems out of nebulae which
by some means have been set to ro-
tating, the resultant friction and the
centripetal forces producing a central
burning sun with (at least in the case
of our own system) attendant planets
evolved out of the same nebulae.
In recent years there have been
many very important notifications Of
the theory Of Laplace, Kant and
Herschel, although they all rest on
essentially the same basis. But 1t is
quite evident that any theory Of the
sort is incapable of proof. All that
can be claimed for any Of the theories
Is that they conform to certain laws
Of nature and the phenomena which
are observed, while there is no other
known hypothesis whatever which can
in the least explain the present condi-
ton of the universe.
Such observations as have been
made at Flagstaff on the condition of
the nebula surrounding the Pleiades
are of great interest, but are not con-
elusive and are not pretended to be
so. All that can be said is that here
is an added testimony to the accumu-
lations of more than a century. In
these days most astronomers are
prone to believe that matter (and
what matter consists Of is not we'll
understood) has existed eternally in
more or less its present universal con-
dition, that nebulae and resulting
solar systems are the result Of acci-
dental collisions, which simply repeat
an endless condition of affairs.
II, as estimated, there are more than
one hundred millions Of burning suns
and more than a billion of those
whose light has died out, the universe
includes an incredible amount Of ma
terial and is unthinkably vast, though
the matter in it is certainly limited.
The human mind cannot appreciate
these figures, but 1t is now, as ever,
striving for a reasonable explanation
of observed phenomena, and the nebu-
lar hypothesis, as modified, comes
nearer fitting the laws of nature and
the things we see about us than any
other which has been offered

As to the Unsigned Review.

Professor Mahaffy, who has written
criticism for more than so years, is
an advocate of the unsigned
review. "If you have the article sign
ed" he says, you relieve the editor of
his responsibility and he will admit
bad article signed by a widely
known person, whereas better work by
young and starving writer is apt to
be thrown aside" He recalls the old
days Of the Quarterly and the Edin-
burgh with the remark that what was
good enough to appear in the Quar-
terly was good enough for anybody
to read" The drift at present is to-
ward the signed review. The Edin-
burgh, under it's new editor, publishes
signed articles, and within a month
the Manchester Guardian has gone
to the extreme of publishing the ini-
tials of the writer's of their reviews
Of the variety theaters, though the re-
views are so short that four Of them
make only half a column.

is The WIFE'S RIGHT
SPENDING Is HER PARTICULAR
BUSINESS IN LIFE.
The Whole Of Mans Personal Activity
Is a Mere Preliminary to the
Wlfe's Actlvlty-Money
Is Made to Spend.

Your imagination, once set In mo-
ton, will show you that your conJugal
existence is divided into two great de-
partments-the getting and the spend.
ing departments. Wordsworth chant
ed that in getting and spending we
lay waste our years. We could not
lay waste our years in more salts
flying manner. The two departments,
mutually indispensable, balance each
other. You organized them. You
made yourself the head Of one and
your wife the head Of the other. You
might, Of course, have organized them
otherwise. 1t was open to you, In the
Hottentot style, tc decree that your
wife should do the earning while you
did the spending. But for some mys-
terious reason this arrangement did
not appeal to you and you accordingly
go forth daily to the office and return
therefrom with money. The theory
Of your daily excursion is firmly based
In the inherent nature of things. The
theory is made in order that money
may be spent-either at once or later.
The whole of your own personal ac-
tivity Is mere preliminary to your
wife's activity. Without hers, yours
would be absurd, ridiculous, futile. su-
premely silly.
By spending she completes and JUS
titles your labor; she crowns your life
by spending. You married her that
she might spend. You wanted some
one to spend, and it was understood
that she should fill the situation. She
was brought up to spend, and you
knew that she was brought up to
spend. Spending is her vocation. And
yet you turn round on her and COM
plain: "She only thinks of spending!"
Exercise your imagination to put
yourself in your wife's place, and you
will perceive that she is constantly in
the highly delicate difficulty of having
to ask for money, or at any rate, of
having to suggest or insinuate that
m ey should be given to her. 1t is
her right and even her duty to ask
fer money, but the foolish, illogical
creature-like most women, even
those with generous and polite hus-
bands-regards the process as little
humiliating for herself You have per-
haps never asked for money. But your
Imagination will probably be able to
make you feel how it feels to ask for
money. A woman whose business in
life is to spend money which she does
not and cannot earn, may sometimes
have to face a refusal when she asks
for money. But there is one thing
from which she ought to be absolutely
and eternally safe-and that is snub.

Magazine.

Fewer Flies, Fewer Graves.

There is not the slightest doubt but
that the less number Of flies alive in
summer time, or any time Of the year,
the less sickness there is about, and
the fewer new graves there will be in
the cemetery. To think that the fly is
a valuable scavenger, as some would
lead us to believe, is great mistake.
1t is not scavenger In the sense of
purifying things, but on the other
hand always the distributor of filth
and germs. and with the germs dis.
ease.-A. B. Olsen. in Good Health.

Cures for Snorinu.

One Of the most respected citizens
Of Winsted, Mass. offers 500 as a re-
ward to any one who will break him
Of the habit of snoring, which has
made him goat in his own home, so
to speak. This is golden opportuni-
ty. Somebody will tell him to sleep
on his face, to hang himself on the
hatrack o nights. to bandage his face
shut before going to sleep, to put wire
screens in his nose, to wear clothes
pin or safety pin in his nose, to cork
his nose tightly each night. to stay
awake. to sleep in the cellar, to tent
In the open air, or-oh, any of a dozen
or two more cures, and If he pays for
them all he'll be so worried over his
financial condition that he won't sleep
at all, and hence won't snore-and so
his desire will become fact accom-.
plished, you see.

Our Rude lanuuaue,

There are great differences between
the richness and poorness Of words
in the different countries. Japan is
certainly richer in its words than Eng
land. Just for example, we have more
than nine words for the word a." The
emperor alone calls himself Chin,
and all his subjects call themselves
"Watakushi," "Washi," "Ore," "Boku,"
"Sessha." "Soregashi," Ware" "Yo,"
etcetera, according to the, circum.
stances. The second or third person
changes as much as the first person.

Feathers In Mems Hats.

Men may soon try to outdo women
In the matter of head adornment. II
is rumored that aigrettes are worn
at present by great number Of Lon
don's male population. A fashionable
London halter is predicting a great
future for mems aigrettes. For some
time past one brand of mems hats has
been bedecked with small feather
but this has gradually developed into
tuft. as large as that worn on WON
ems headgear. fPheasant's claws are
mixed with the feathers, and a metal
ornament finishes off the stag brush
at its base. They cost from 81 to 81
apiece.

Man and Woman,

Some day, when all the nonsense
and sentimentality have died out of
the world, it will be universally ad-
mitted that men and women are made
up Of the same ingredients and that
the preponderance Of good or bad,
weakness or strength, Is in the indi-
vidual, not the sex. When women
have achieved full liberty-in other
words, fully found themselves, and, in
creasingly confident in their swelling
ranks stand squarely on their own two
feet-they will be just as rapacious,
Just as dishonest, just as sharp and
overreaching as conditions and the law
permit. The weaker or less resource
full will drop to the underworld as they
do today (where they will continue to
divide the honors with mem, but those
women Of brains and character that
deliberately select the open for their
talents instead Of the home will fight
man at his own game, and, 1t may be,
rout him, dispossess him, eat him up.

Rather an Abuse.

Claude Grahame- White, the English
aviator, is tory, and, like all tories,
he hates the Democratic legislation
of the chancellor Of the exchequer,
David Lloyd-George.
Mr.. Grahame-White, in a recent let
ter to an American friend-married
to an American wife, he has many
American friends-said bitterly:
"The Lloyd-George policies are all
open to abuse. Take his latest pol.
Icy, the maternity benefit, 80 shillings
a week to every insured woman who
has child born to her.
"A mechanician Of mine was in a
pub, getting glass Of sour ale the
other day, when woman entered.
Say, old dear, she began, could
you let me have half a dozen O. gin
on tick? Tom and me are hayin' a
party tonight
You're customer Of mine, said
the landlord doubtfully, but II LET
you have this gin. whenIl I get nv
money!
"The woman smiled an embarrassed
smile. Then she said:
"'Old Lloyd-George'n owe me thirty
bob next month. I'll pay you then. old
dear!'"

HEREDITY SEEN IN THE HAIR
Some Views on the Inheritance of the
Color Of the Covering of
the Dome.

when examined under the micro
scope human hair discloses two
kinds of pigment, and only two, a re,l
dish yellow and sepia brown. The ,e
TWO colors are Independent factors il
heredity and may occur separately or
In combination" writes Gertrude c.
Davenport In the Independent. "The
yellow seems to be diffuse pigment,
but the brown occurs in granules or
specks. The size and number of the
granules, as well as the intensity of
the pigment. vary In differently col
ored hair The intensity of the vel.
low pigment also varies so as to form
different shades Of red, while a COM
bination Of red with brown gives some
OF the more sober shades Of red hair
When the brown pigment is intense
1t forms black, and If red be present
In such cases 1t is completely covered.
Red hair is best seen when brown
Is absent. and when two bright, red.
haired people marry all their children
Will have red hair, for there will be
no brown pigment to cover 1t over
On the other hand, when a black or
very dark brown haired person of un.
mixed origin marries another with
red hair, none of the children will
have red hair, but If the dark haired
parent In such union has red half
In his ancestry then half of the chill.
dren will have red hair When there
Is red hair in the immediate ancestry
OF both parents, although both may
have dark hair, then a few of the
children-three-sixteenths, in the long
run-will have red hair"
In the blond-to- black series we
find that the intensity of the hair
color in the offspring does not exceed
that of the darker parent. Thus two
blond-haired parents have only blond
haired children. The parents cannot
transmit what they themselves lack
When one parent has flaxen hair and
the other light brown. then so per
cent Of the children will have hair OF
light brown shade When one par
ent has dark brown or black hair and
the other. light brown, then about hall
OF the children will have dark and
half light brown hair-that is to say
half In population of some size. In a
FAMILY OF only two children it would
be possible to have one dark and one
light haired child. but this would be a
very rare chance indeed. The collec
tion and Interpretation, Of statistics ot
hair color are complicated by the fac.
th.t the hair of the young is frequent
ly much lighter than in adult life
while the hair Of the adult, when
mixed with gray, is not infrequently
reported as Of lighter shade than 1,
really possesses"

EARLY MEN IN AFRICA
TRACES OF RACE THAT HUNTED
ANIMALS LONG EXTINCT.
Interesting Discovery Of Mammalian
Bones and Human Implements
Made by Scientist Near
oemfonteln-Proves
Old Theory.

A most interesting discovery has
lately been made showing the exist
ence of a primitive race Of men In
South Africa. Doctor Broom, OF Ger
miston, whose archaeological and geo.
logical researches have made his
name familiar to scientists In Europe
and America, told Of specially inter-
erting discovery recently made Of a
hot spring 80 miles north Of Bloem.
fontein, in the course of operations
designed to open up the eye Of the
spring. To do this 1t was necessary
to tunnel into a sand hill, and In the
course of the operations the workmen
came upon large quantity OF NAM
malian bones associated with human
implements and a quantity Of charred
wood.
The significance of the discovery
was realized by the first finders. but,
fortunately. a Dutch woman In the
district s.spected they had scientific
value, and prevented the finds from
being dispersed. Doctor Broom went
down and examined them. He found
that the bones were chiefly those OF
hippopotami eland, the huge extint
buffalo Of South Africa, whose horns
used to attain a span Of twelve feet;
the gigantic Cape horse long since ex-
tinct, which far exceeded the Clydes-
dale in size; an extinct variety OF
Ui rf hn0 m.
Der Of small buck. not yet identified.
Previous discoveries had caused SCI
entists to believe that man had lived
in South Africa contemporaneously
with the extinct giant buffalo, but the
proofs available were inconclusive.
DR.. Bloom regards this discovery as
proving their co-existence beyond
doubt. The find further proves that
extinct animals were killed and their
bones broken, and indicates that their
flesh was cooked by some primitive
race OF human beings. The imple.
ments found included stone knive-
and large spear heads, but no evi.
dences were found of the presence Of
what are regarded as typical Bush
man stones.
At present there is some doubt as
to the race to which the human be-
ings who hunted these giant buffalo
belonged. In this connection 1t has
been noted that the bones of an ex.
tinct buffalo and horse possibly iden-
tical with those discovered in South
Africa have been found in Algeria. It
is thought possible, therefore, that
the tribe which hunted them migrat.
ed south along with these extinct ami
mails during the last Ice age. 1t Is
further thought that those ancient peo.
pie were probably white and of Euro.
pean stock. Doctor Broom has sent
a representative collection of the
bones to Cape Town.

there are such entries as "Hodgkin-
