THE SOURCE OF WORLDS HEAT
The Radiant Energy Of the Suns Heat Reduced
to Its Mechanical Equivalent.
BY l.. S.

1t is not at all surprising that to
the ancient man some explanation
of the suns existence and an interpre-
tation of the daily phenomena of it's
passage thru the sky should have
been sought. In the primitive, mind
when imagination is the most active
and fertile of all mental activities,
nothing could be more simple and
natural than to connect it to Diety.
They felt it's benignant warmth
and light. they saw the flowers and
vege tation incline toward it as in
veneration and in awe. Diety was to
them the only simple and natural
explanation. Humanity-savag CIV
ilized or barbarism must exalt and
worship his God, it is an essential
part of his being. And what could
be more simple and natural ex-
planation for the charred and desert
regions of earth, and the darkened
skin of the African, than the one they
advanced. All was consistent with
diety. At the cost of establishing his
God-like lineage, Phaeton, the son
OF Apollo, won from the Sun God
permission to drive the fiery char
lot across the sky. but the young
hands unused to the steeds had ap-
preached too near the earth, occa-
sioning the desert lands and dark
ened skins. It is a peculiar fact
his return to Aurora was never
accounted for; details we're never
considered by primitive minds.
Later when scientific speculation
began to replace primitive imagin-
alton, Pythagoroas anticipated by
1000 years the conception of Cop
ernicus. Anaxagoras 500 B. G..
taught that the sun was not God as
was commonly supposed, but glow
ing rock probably as large as Pelo-
ponnesus.
Today our knowledge of physical
and chemical phenomena permits us
to state that neither was wholly
correct. 1t is neither shining God.

Peloponnesus, but is a tremendous

enveloped in an incandiscent photo
sphere of valorized and dissociated

and of which the earth is but mere
speck; very similar in elemental
com mcosition as that of the earth, yet
lacking in some. This tremendous
body $50, 500 miles in diameter or

like the thousands of other stars in

body may be inferred from the
lengh of time required for an by
pothetical cannon ball to cross it's

the sun light in other words the illu-
mination received per square inch
from 10000 standard candles at one
meters distance is equal to the illu-
mination received per square inch
from the sun, or the illumination
received from the sun is 1575x1O~
as much as would be received from
a standard candle at that distance.
If the heat energy radiated from
the sun could be transformed into it's
mechanical equivalent and made to
be the servant of man, it is impossi-
BILE to conceive the revolution such
conservation would effect.
The solar constant, or the number
OF heat units received by a unit of
space in unit of time by the earth's
surface is found to be abou. thirty

equivalent to one horsepower, it fol-

earth's surface receives 2 8 horse

Football has been lifted from a
game that lacked the spectacular to
a game that is filled with the spec
tacular by the almost universal adop-
ton this year of the open style game.
In other years, when line-smashing
ruled, the game had few real thrills
for the spectators. They would see
the teams line up and then they would
see % men pile one on top of the
other. The same thing would be re-
peated time and again, with a varia-
ton now and then with an end run.
But there was no open playing. All
of the playing was done by a massed
crowd of players. Very often the
players were grouped together so
closely that the spectators could not
see the ball passed.
But this year, with lateral passes,
double passes, triple passes, forward
passes and other trick plays predomi-
mating, the game has been lifted to a
point where the spectators can see
nearly everything that is going on.
There is not prettier play, from the
spectators viewpoint, than a triple
pass, and most of the big college

A BIT OF ADVICE.
First-Don't Delay. Second-Don't
Experiment.

If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest poor
ly and are languid in the morning; IL
the kidney secretions are irregular
and unnatural in appearance, do not
delay. In such cases the kidneys Of
ten need help.
Doan't Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble-they are
recommended by thousands. Can
residents desire more convincing
proof than the statement Of a citizen
of this locality?
Mrs. William Doughty, 700 Mulber-
ry St, Millville, N. j., says 81 had a
severe pain in my back and over my
kidneys. l took Doan's Kidney Pills
and IN a short time was relieved Of
the trouble. l am today free from
kidney disease. Another of my fami-
ly had been troubled by kidney COM
plant. The kidneys were weak and
caused annoyance. Doan's Kidney
Pills were used and made a great i'm
proyement."

also for the most part the running at
tack within striking distance has been
estimated from the viewpoint of it's
final march rather from that of the
type of kicking which made this
march possible.
Open football, passing of all kinds,
does not mean the death of the kick
ing game by any means, and that
fact has been emphasized in recent
games. The punting game insures a
lack of waste effort that is not pres
ent when there is a determined effort
to drive down the field. The game
as it is played today is not as long as
it used to be. Although the minutes
of serious action are few and far be-
tween, there is wear and tear that is
due in most cases to the attitude of
eternal vigilance.
Watching the other fellow success
fully has become increasingly difficult.
More generally than ever before the
opinion has gained ground that the
best thing to do is to hand the other
player the ball on the slightest prov
ocation. Continual passing places the
defensive eleven on the alert at all
times. and it is this mental strain
which tires the players as much as
their physical efforts.

6es bitter experiences in the present

STARyE THE FLY
BY SANITATION.

If the food supply in the locality in
which he is born gives out a fly will
not migrate to some other part of
the city in search of food. Nature
has not endowed the insect with the
power to travel great distances.
Health experts who have studied the
fly problem are of the opinion, there
fore, that if each citizen would MAIN
tain his premises in such a sanitary
condition that flies would find no food
there the pests would Starve by the
millions and, in time, would disappear
altogether.

teams are using this play with con-
siderable regularity.
The open game speeds the game
and it has robbed football of much OF
its former danger to combatants. The
old style game consisted in the main
of line plunging-of drives at center
against the tackles and against the
guards. All these were mass plays,
and no matter how weak the offensive
line or how powerful the opposition
backfield, very few teams we're able
to average better than three yards
on a drive at the line.
Under the new system, with the for.
ward pass and the double and triple
passes permissible, gains of anywhere
from ten to forty yards are possible
in one play. Yale, by the use of the
double and triple pass and by the
occasional use of a forward pass often
made gains of 20 and 25 yards against
Notre Dame. 1t was the use of the
plays that won for Yale in that game,
and it was because Washington and
Jefferson was more expert in those
new plays than Yale that gave the
Washington and Jefferson team its vic
tory over Yale.

won through punting when the vic

styles to play. especially if two teams

As the Lords sheep we shall be pro-
vided with green pastures and cool, re-

have the peace of God, as implied in
the suggestion hat the sheep lie down
In the green pastures. But alas! Some
sheep wander off, goatlike, into the des-
ert, attempting to feed themselves on
the indigestible things of this life, on
which no spiritual nature can thrive.
Yet even such straying sheep the
Shepherd will not leave, but goes after
them. With His rod He beats off the
wolves; and with His staff He care
fully assists the entangled sheep out
from amongst the cares of this life, the
deceitfulness of riches and the beset-
ments of sin and Satan. Many of the
Lords flock thus ear sing, HE restor-
eth my soul"-brings me back to appre-
ciate how much better His provision
than anything l could provide.
The Valley of Deaths Shadow.
Only Adam was ever on the noun
tain-top of life. He lost his footing
there, and gradually descended into
this great Valley of the Shadow of
Death. Here all his children were
born. We are dying daily, surrounded
by dying conditions. But the New Day
is about to dawn. Then the whole
world will begin to emerge from this
Valley of Deaths Shadow. For a thou
sand years they will be rising to the
heights of human perfection from
which Adam fell, and TO which the right
to return is secured by Jesus death.
The Lords people have an especially
prepared table, where they may par
take even in the presence of their en-
emies. How true it is that ever
when misunderstood, misrepresented,
DETAINED and opposed, Gods consecrat-
ed people are still privileged to feast
on the Divine promises, assurances of
favor, etc!
Another evidence that this Psalm be
longs especially to the Church is the
statement, Thou anointest my Head
with OIL The holy amounting oil used
on Israel's priests and kings typifed
the Holy Spirit, which came upon the
