Theory Shows Heat Will
Melt Earth in About a
Billion Years

Now, following line of rea-
soning which would be too long
to enter upon here, Professor
Jolly shows that if, at the pres
ent time, the nucleus of the
earth contains as much as one
fve-hundred- thousand-millionth
of a gram of radium for every
gram of ordinary matter, then
its temperature must be rising
at such rate that in about
100000 years the earth will
be entirely melted inside.
We do not know whether
there is so much radium as that
inside the earth, but from what
we observe on its surface we
conclude that there very we'll
may be. If there is more, then
the melting will be accomplished
sooner. If there is less, it will
take longer But the quantity
would have to be very much less
than it probably is in order that
the heat produced could con-
tinue to be radiated away with
out a disastrous rise in the tenn
perature of the globe.
The same reasoning carried
further leads to the conclusion
that the earth may have been
alternately melted and cooled off
several times in the past. When
it is in a molten state the free
radiation from the surface pro-
duces a crust, which thickens to
a certain point, and then the
inner accumulation OF heat
brings about another melting
from the interior outward.
The phenomenon of new stars
is appealed to as lending sup
port to this view. Again and
again astronomers have seen
new star burst forth at some
point in the sky. Generally It
has been assumed that they are
due to collisions in the heavens,
but it is, perhaps, equally prob
able that they arise from the
accumulation of heat in some
dark celestial body, causing 1t to
fame out into incandescence.
Other stars are known to have
disappeared, and their disap-
pearance may have been caused
by the cooling off of their sur
faces.
Just Learning Meaning OF
Life and Death in the

Evidently we are only just be-
ginning to understand the mean
ing of life and death in the uni

uranium, which is an incompar-
ably more abundant substance.
So we conclude that the earth
may have been heated internally
by renewed supplies of radium
for untold millions of years, and
will continue to be thus heated
for millions of years to come.

KYO man expects to see the
N end of the world arrive in
his day, any more than he
expects, if he is in good health,
to die tomorrow. Yet there IS
a widespread, and perhaps uni
versal, belief that the earth is no
more immortal than man; only
its term of existence is almost
infinitely long compared with his.

Mrs. DOrrance kissed her loval,
thoughtful daughter, and left Eva
alone. She looked out upon the
deserted city street. The snow
drifted midnight was burning
like day, and the trees seemed to
have stripped themselves like
athletes to battle the wintry
storm forces. Eva shivered
slightly as she thought of the
long uncertain frost-bound

clothing were hard to provide,
with her small wage earnings.

Eva had been compelled to give
up a steady position so she could
nurse her mother. This had made
it necessary for her to obtain
copying to do at home. She had
found a public stenographer who
did considerable occasional work
for writers and lawyers. Eva's
pleasantest copying was that of
some stories written by one Den
I'll Worthington. One day, while
Eva was waiting for work at the
office, she had been introduced to
him by the manager. They had
quite chat. She was pleased to
thus really know a story writer,
her ideal of human intelligence,
and he was interested in the
brave, struggling working girl.

Mr.. Lloyd-George had remarked that he
was not Speculator, and had never
bought to sell again. when suffragette
cried out:

Hear!' resounded through the room,
Both the interrupter and her sympathiz-
ers were thrown out.
Some members of the committee ap-
peared to differ from Chancellor Lloyd
Georges view as to what constituted an
investment and what was gamble
The examination of the cabinet minis
ters closed with a brief statement from
Postmaster General Herbert Samuel that
he had no dealings in any Marconi con-
cern. He thought it would be highly i'm
proper for any postmaster general to have
an investment in any telegraph, telephone
or similar concern.
