Theories as to Origin of Moon

| For the origin of our moon. La
places majestic nebular hypothesis
needs slight modification. Sir George
II. Darwin, in his theory of tidal evo-

system 10 n hot oblate sphere covered
with solid crust some thirty-fivc
miles thick. This as yet moonless
planet may be pictured as whirling
upon itself with terrific speed in a
period of five or four hours. Tides, Gre
ated by the sun and the acceleration
of rotation, caused weakening of the
centrifugal force, and at a critical
point this instability overcamc CRAWL
tation and some 100000 cubic miles
OF molten matter were sundered from
the earth, and hurled outward to re-
VolVe in proximity To the parent planet
Now, when we scan the earth atten-
lively for indications that may con-
firm this origin, we are confronted with
many instructive facts. Prof. w. II.
Pickering has shown that IT the earth

rectly above a point 1000 miles north
east of New Zealand, the land areas
that compass this waste of waters are
disposed in an almost perfect circle. |
This roughly circular chasm. the Pa

That the great oceans which cover |
the earth are permanent in place is
evident from the fact that the average |
height of the land above sea level is !
about $3.50 feet, while the average

most appalling catastrophe that eve
visited Omaha. Through the stricken

obstacles to pedestrians.

territory to be but a beginning.
In fifteen minute these things hap

badly injured. So far as could be
learned last night this was the ex-
tent of the fatalities, but there will
undoubtedly be others.
Calls for physicians came from all d.
rections and all of the ambulances in
the city We're sent to gather up the
wounded who could not be located. At
II o'clock these names were reported
from the various hospitals where they
had been AIKEN:
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Hannah and
daughter.
William Poole and Miss Poole.
Mrs. Baker.
Mr.. Messmore and two daughters.
Mrs. Bishop.
All of these injured were gathered up
in the Immediate vicinity Of the Beno
farm and along the creek in the vi
cinfty of Mcpherson There
a number OF others more or less seri-
ously injured, who were cared for at
neighboring houses.
At Manawa, F. H. Hawkins, an aged
man, n his son, Hosea Hawkins, were
badly hurt and several other members
oil he family were injured when their
home was demolished. The building
stood just south and east Of the Beck

Northeaster]y Course Pursued
By Great Storm Through Omaha

= LIsE
Omaha. Neb., March 25.-From the
best accounts that couid be obtained.
the storm seems to have first struck
the city of Omaha back of the Field
club; from there it moved in a direc-
ton a little east of north till it crossed
Cunning street, two miles north: then
it veered slightly more to the east. Till
LAX street was reached at Twenty
fourth, a mile further on: here it
seemed to separate, the more d~estruc-
tive part moving east along Lake. Ohio,
Maple. Locust and Binney streets. till
it crossed the river, more than q mile
away
Best Residence Section.
This was through the best built resi-
dence section of the city, and hundreds
of homes were smashed to powder or
broken into bits by the terror of the
air. Following the passage Of the wind,
almost as swiftly as thought, fire broke
out, n In the twinkling of an eye al
most, homes of happy, prosperous peo-
pie were turned into piles Of blazing
debris, from which MANNED n Grip
pied victims of the storm gods wrath
were dragged by rescuers.
Others were taken out dead.

its destructive power, but even then
seemed unable to grasp the fact that
awful devastation rode with the wind.
Firemen were first to realize the con-
dition that existed, for calls from
dozens of alarm boxes and from many
surviving telephones came piling in in
q Confusion that was b~ewildering. But
soon the department was set at Its
task, and the work Of rescue was un-
der way.
Damage Beyond Understanding.
AS minutes wore into hours, the ter
ror of the storms work grew. Electric
phones in the stricken section were
not working, streets We're blockaded by
debris, and torrents of rain poured to
obscure the search. Many wild rumors
We're ahoat, and no way to quickly
verify them. Careful search was soon
organized. The city police department
was taxed to it's utmost, and later the
companies of Nebraska national guard
stationed in Omaha were called into
service that liz might be given as
quickly as possible, n that whatever
of order might be restored could be
had.
So extensive and so complete is the
wreck, and so difficult the task of get
ting the exact facts, that only guesses
can be made as to the extent Of the
calamity. The loss Of life will mount
well into the hundreds; the number of
injured will be still greater, while the
property loss will be millions.
