was manned by Walter Ring, great
aviator, in September, 1880, after the
earth had gone back in its original
orbit. This Is great accomplish
ment, since the time consumed is
only six months, and Edison's plan
of taking the earth through the uni
verse has to be perfected a lot, as
yet.
In November, 1880, the earth re-
ceived wireless messages from the
planet Mercury-the first on record,
but everyone knows that story.
On December Z of this same year,
Rutherford Thatcher died peacefully
in his bed at the age of ninety-three
years. The world certainly lost a
great genius with his death
The invention of the time ball was
completed by Edison In the early
winter This will be explained on the
next page.
In March, 1881, the breaking up Of
the Moon occurred. This gwas caused
by extreme old age and the dryness
and hardness of that body. The
earth suffered very little from the
effects of this, as most of the pieces
were burned TO a crisp by their ter
rifle friction being attracted to the
earth. The earth also lost light,
which was supplied later on by the
invention of the concrete amalgama-
ton, which will be explained in Pro-
lessor Chapin's book in this series,
