The Dawn of Humanity
Selected by EDWIN MARKHAM

~ G. WELLS sends out
through Huebsch a book
of curious speculation
called THE Discovery Of the Flu
ture." Mr.. Wells predicts that it
will be possible for our descend
ants by means of scientific in
duction to forecast coming
events. In the course of his
clever argument he says:
THE conditions under which
men live are changing with an
ever increasing rapidity, and, so
far as our knowledge goes, no
sort of creatures have ever lived
under changing conditions with
out undergoing the profoundest
changes themselves. In the past
century there was more change
in the conditions of human life
than there had been in the pre-
vious thousand years. A hun
bred years ago inventors and in
vestigators were rare and scat
tered men, and now invention
and inquiry are the work of an
unorganized army.
This century will see changes
that will dwarf those Of the nine
teenth century, as those of the
nineteenth dwarf those Of the
eighteenth. Human So
ciety never has been quite static,
and it viii presently cease to at
tempt to be static. Everything
seems pointing to the belief that
we are entering upon a progress
that will go on with an ever
widening and ever more conf
dent stride, forever. We
are getting into marching order.

money; she took no interest in
his work other than feeling an
abstract pride that he was
successful man.
She lived a life utterly devoid
Of any sense of obligation.
She read the newspapers, but
never a book of any literary
value. She did not study or
think; she just drifted through
life.
She wore such garments as her
dressmaker told her to wear;
and sent the bills to her husband
to pay. She was not extrava-
CANT in dress, but her clothes
carried no distinction, and as they
were not well selected, or well
cared for, they soon seemed
shabby.
The husband prospered so
we'll during his middle life that
he did not worry over the finan-
cial situation, believing that he
would be able to weather all
sales which might blow over
LIES sea.
He wished his wife were diff
ferent; but being a kind-hearted
American husband, he did not
rise up in righteous indignation
and insist upon her doing her

Heat Will Cease Some Day.

about $4,000 miles, so that it's
diminution in a thousand years
would not be more than about
fifty miles, OF less than one-sev-
enteenth- thousandth part OF the
whole, an amount that would not
be perceptible from the earth.
Yet, Helmholtz shows, by the me-
chanicaI laws of heat, that this
relatively slight contraction OF the
sun is sufficient to account for all
the heat that It continually gives
out.
Now physics teaches us that
this process cannot continue for
ever. The time will come (and we

cannot tell just when), when the
sun will cease to contract. and
will begin to solidify. In the
meantime the partially condens-
ed vapors forming its atmos-
phere will become thicker, until
they absorb so much of the radia-
ton from within that the amount
of heat that is sent to the earth
and other planets will decrease
enormously, and at length be cut
off entirely
Millions of years win elapse be-
fore that state of affairs Is
reached, but meanwhile many
temporary variations are to be
expected, and the observations
that we have referred to indicate
that such variations have already
begun to manifest themselves.
Here is where the studies OF
astronomers concerning other
variable stars than the sun Cand
the heavens are full Of thernO
become Of interest for everybody,
since they show Us suns IN every
stage of partial extinction. Some
vary so little that very careful
observations are required 10 show
any change at all. but many 9TH
ers loom and sink like a dying
conflagration, and seem to be-
quite near their end.
The Sun Must Die.
For millions Of years, perhaps
the worlds that circle around such
perishing suns have been expert
encing conditions that one can
not present to the imagination
without a shudder Gradually the
heat and light Of their sun have
been Withdrawn: their inhabf-
tants have seen the orb on whose
radiation they depended become
fainter and fainter, with many
sudden but only temporary recov-
cries, until at last it faded from
sight. and with its disappearance
the frightful cold of interstenar
space extinguished the last spark
of life.
To think that our sun is ex-
empt from such an end would be
as foolish as for a man in the
heydey Of youth and strength to
flatter himself that he can esca ne
the fate that, one by one, over
takes his older companions. The
variable stars are symbolic Of the
mortality Of suns just as the pas
sing of our friends INTO the shad-
ows of age is symbolic of the
evanescence of our own lives.
Hence the intense interest which
the detection of even the slight
est failure Of the energies Of the
sun must have for all thoughtful
minds. The sun is the father of
life for the earth, and to see him
stumble ever so little. is to ex-
perience a feeling akin to that Of
the child who first notices the
trembling Of its aged parents pro-
tecting hand.

The cause Of these variations is
not fully understood, but It evil

In effect It is somewhat like the
fluctuations Of a fire-alternately
dying down and then blazing
more f1ercely But the sun is
not a fire, although It is hotter
than any fire we can produce.
1t is a globe of intensely heated
gases, in which substances like
iron, which are solid upon the
earth, exist in the state Of glow

the heat. As the heat radiates
away from the SUMS surface the

mass. The sun becomes gradual
ly smaller through this process,

ing to Helmholtz, about ESQ feet

THE curious conduct of the
weather recently serves to
call attention to the very
important researches which the
Smithsonian Institution has been
conducting for some years con-
corning the variability of the sun.
Whether the recent sudden drop
Of temperature which carried the
Thermometer in many places on
June 9Th lower than It has ever
been known TO fall at this time
of the year since the Weather
Bureau was established was due
to a failure Of radiation from the
sun cannot be definitely stated,
but there is no longer doubt that
the sun is a variable star, and
that its variations are often suf-
ficient to produce a general fall,
or rise, of temperature amount
ing, in brief periods of time, to
several degrees.
