How Planets Came Into Being.

From the striking relation of plan
etary motions, British scientist has
made the deductions that the planets
grew out of scattered material each
bringing the next into being by per-
turbation, with Jupiter as the starting
point, and the only planet with an
original nucleus. From the law Of
evolution worked out, it is concluded
that the nearest planet beyond Nep-
tune should be AIS as far from the
sun as the earth, and comparable
with Neptune in size.

They declare further that the Ger

GERMANS lombard
OSSOWETz FORTRESS
Report From Budapest Admits
MusCOUteS Have Entered
Hungary.

Londen, Sept. Sebastian troops
are driving fast on the offensive in
the forests Of Augustowo, In the prov
ince OF suwald, Russian Poland, says
IN official statement In Petrograd,
which adds the Germans still bonn
bard the fortress Of Ossowetx, using
heavy siege artillery, but the attempt
by infantry TO close In has been
checked. On the front of Silesia the
Germans, greatly reinforced, show
much activity.
That Przemysl still Is In the hands
OF the Austrians is indicated by off,
cial advioes saying Austrian sorties
from the fortresses have not been
successful, and that many prisoners, a
number OF cannon and some stores
of ammunition have fallen into Rus
sian hands. The advices do not con.
firm the report that two Of the Pre-
mysl forts have been captured by the
Russians. The Austrian retreat In
Galicia continues In great confusion,
according TO the official report.
A Rome dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company says an official
communication issued in Budapest
admits that the Russians have sue
ceeded in crossing the Hungarian
frontier at several points in the ing
district, despite the fact that rein
forcements have been sent against
them. Ung Is a country In the north
eastern part of Hungary.
Colonel Shumsky. military critic Of
the Petrograd Bourse Gazette, says the
success of the Russians In operating
through the Carpathian mountains is
one of the most notable In military
history.
Russians Proved Successful.
Despite the generally accepted idea
that Russian troops are unable to OPP
crate In the mountains, as shown In
the Manchurian campaign, the Rus
SLAMS on this occasion proved that I'M
der able leadership they are able to
conquer alike on the plains or In the
mountains"
Referring to the events on the River
Nismen Colonel Shumsky says:
1T Is essential to determine wheth-
er the Germans will be able to CON-
pei the Russians to refrain from the
operations In the Carpathians in order
to rush to the Niemen."
He believes the operations on the
Niemen, even In the event of German
success, will not have decisive sig
nifcance and he argues that the Rus
sian operations In Galicia and the
Carpathians will influence the whole
course OF the campaign.
An official statement issued at Nish,
Servia, and sent to the Reuter- Tele-
gram company here, says the Servisns
