No Title PAGE In Early Books.

The idea Of a title page did not oc-
cur to the early printers The books
started straight off with lucipit' or
Here begfnneth. without authors or
publishers name This causes much
difficulty in attributiug earlier works
to the proper sources. The idea Of
title page with names seems drst to
have occurred to a Cologne printer
named Therhoernen about 1870. but it
was not generally adopted until fifty
years later The early punctuation
was very simple, consisting of an OBJ
ique line and full stop. One of the
first books to introduce the colon and
notes of Interrogation and exclamation
was a "Lactantius printed at mon.

THE CRUSH OF WORLDS.
II Will Come When the Solar System
Falls lnto the Sun.

Falls INTO the Sun.
The whole Of the present solar sys.
tenn is ultimately to fall into the sun
causing an explosion that may result
in new solar system. Such is the
theory put forward in the Journal of
Natural Science by Professor Philip
Fauth. a well known astronomer.
whose reputation has rested principal
iy upon his researches into conditions
on the moon
The novel feature Of DR. Fauth's
position that a great part of the known
solar system, including especially the
planets Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn
are not composed Of mineral matter at
all, but are tremendous masses Of ice,
or balls Of ice surrounding a mineral
kernel. Furthermore. he declares, a
part Of what is now known as the
Milky way IS not mineral or gaseous.
but "a ring of Ice DUST" masses of
particles Of ice suspended in space, the
outer planets receiving a constant ad-
dition to their Ice mass from this
source
Professor Fauth declares that the
world already at some remote period
has had a similar experience. resulting
in the death of nearly all animate ma
ture, and that all species Of life as we
know it have arisen since then Even
tually the planets swinging through
their narrowing orbits will fall into the
sun, causing a new explosion and per
haps the birth of new solar system.
but for thousands OF years before that
time all life, either on earth or else
where, will have disappeared. New

The enemy succeeded in placing thir-

ETHICS OF STRIKES.

The unions strike when their
demands for better conditions
receive no consideration at the
hands of employers. For this we
are often condemned. and vet il
is unquestionably fact that
strikes are effective in increas-
ing wages. and as increased
wages are conducive to human
uplift. strikes certainly are not
lacking in ethical principles. We
do not strike simply for the fun
Of 1t. We strike because we
want to live better than We
have been living. We do not
strike without first having un-
dertaken to secure an adjust
ment, and when the conference
is conceded a settlement gen
orally follows without a strike.
But where we are told there is
nothing to be considered we use
the only weapon we have-that
is, to cease work. and what this
has done for the working people
in the way of real, substantial
benefit can never be computed.

the truth Of this statement when he SAID:
"Thc local newspaper in proportion to It's cir

the country newspaper is based largely upon the
fact that the man who reads it looks upon it as a

ancc than the big city attaches to the statements
and advertisement, in the big city newspapers. As
a friend talking to another about certain kind OF
goods can influence a friend more than a stranger,

friendship with its readers can talk to them about
good, for sale or any other topic and impress upon
them more strongly than the big metropolitan news
