A.-Sclentists discovered only
recently to what the sun owes its
heat and light. The sun In shrink
ing all OF the time. Its particles
are drawing closer together. and
as they hit each other, heat and
light are produced, just as when Z
boy strikes two stones together.
Once the matter which makes up
the sun stretched out 10 the edge
OF the solar system. but that pow
or which makes every particle of
matter attract every other particle
produced the contraction which
made the planets. This process ia
still going on in the sun. and while

A.-You have strange ideas OF
wife's duty at a time like this. In
stead OF deserving him. you should
