The nebular hypothesis Of La Place
has been abandoned in favor Of the me-
teoric hypothesis Of LOckyer and, plan
itesmal hypothesis Of Chamberlain. An
suns, planets and moons, by these two
nearly identical theories, were made BY
the falling in from space Of small cos
mical bodies, such as the meteors now
falling on the earth.
TriIlions OF years ago there was q
meteor moving in space. 1t is now In
the center Of the earth. Another me-
teor Joined this by collision, then an
other, and this falling In is now going
on at a vastly diminished rate, so that
comparatively few are now coming In,
as may be seen or almost any clear
night-Edgar Lucien Larkin in New
York American.

Why Men Ea. Nor. Food Than Woman.

Why Men Eat More Food Than Women.
That men eat or per cent more
than Women-not because they are
gfuttons, but because they actually re-
quire that much more nourishment-
appears as q result OF an investigation
made In the nutrition laboratory Of
the Carnegie institute at Washington
by Francis G. Benedict and L E.
Eames, says the Literary Digest. The
reason for the discrepancy seems to be
that women have a smaller proportion
Of active tissue than men OF the same
weight and more inactive material,
such as fat The investigation dis
closed that the average woman gen.
crates only 1855 heat units In the
twenty-four hours as against 1,6SS pro-
duced by the man, or about . per cent
more for the latter per pound Of body
weight When groups were compared
after careful selection Of individuals
Of nearly the same height and weight
the men were found to produce about
II per cent more heat than women

Good Roads Idea Gripping People.

State, county and township government in the United States spent nearly S25O,OOO, ,OOO for good roads in 1914 alone. In the past two years the single state of California has apprO Driated SIS, ,OOO,OOO for the im- provement of her highways. All over the country the good roads movement has gripped the pee ple-gripped them in most un- selfish and patriotic way.
 The unprecedented growth of this movement within the past few months is not only encOur- aging git is indicative of the foresightedness of the American public. For the money spent in betterment of roads will be re- turned a hundred fold. Farm CTS will be able to market their prod uce, cities will be brought into closer touch, the country will be united, land will increase in value, and over every road will pour d stream of trucks and pleasure cars that will surpasS the dreams of the founders of the good roads movement. The coming of good roads means prosperity-enduring prosperity to all Americans.
 So impued with the good roads spirit are the people becoming that individuals and private con- cerns are appropriating time and money to the cause. And pos sibly one of the greatest con tributions in point of actual be- netit to those using the high ways is that of the B. F. Good rich company of Akron. o.
 During the past four years the B. F. Goodrich Company has maintained a National Touring Bureau which has marked near ly 70, ,OOO miles of the best roads in America with permanent and attractive blue and white enamel guide posts.

GrUalva San1piing.

The work of sampling the Grijalva mine is progressing finely. This sampling is perhaps a new method to local mining circles. The samples are taken at intervals through the ore body developed by the workings, as evenly spaced as the condi- tions permit, and each sample consists of about four and one half tons. The samples are taken so as to represent. rough ly, g. cube of the ore. This me- thod is rendered necessary by the variable character of the ore and the loosely attached condi- tion of the metal, samples taken by the usual method of chan neling often losing all their values in manipulation.-W Wick enburg Miner.

 He might have gone further and added that such a man is a man without a country. He has surrendered his allegiance to the country of his birth. He has not yet given his allegiance to the country of his adoption.
 By taking citizenship in the new country he has cut himself off from the life and obligations of the land of his nativity. His countrymen at home would dis own him.

Richest Copper in Arizona is Being
 Mined.

A Parker dispatch says:- Some of the richest copper ore ever found in Arizona is being developed at the Horn & KeIton mine, nine miles north of Grom- met sta tion, In the Turtle noun tains. Some of the ore runs as high as 10 per cent copper. while recent assays show values of S8 a ton in gold and SIP in silver.
 A tunnel is in 47O feet and the breast is 500 feet below the sur face. It is expected that the main vein will be encountered soon. The ledge is irregular and shows croppings in places for width of 200 feet. There are no claims in the group.
