THE HOWLAND DRY GOODS CO.
The NsbuIar Hypothesis.

The nebular hypothesis assumes that
the matter composing our sun and plan
cts once existed as vast gaseous neb-
ula, spiral in form, having an incon-
cetvably high temperature and slowly
revolving on an axis passing through
It's center OF gravity. AS the mass
cooled by radiating heat into space a
contraction OF volume with accelerated
axial rotation would ensue, in accord
ance with well known dynamic princi-
pies. The centrifugal force thus rap
idly increased would cause the separa-
ton of large Ilasses which would, by
mutual attraction of their own parti-
cles, gradually assume spherical form
and become planets. BY a repetition
of this process planet after planet
would be thrown OF and the central
glowing sun would remain.
