but the abundance of fresh facts and
features necessary to keeping up with a
world that moves.
The great war in Europe receives at
tention in a summary of events and a

the motion picture business is considered.
There are two pages about woman suf-

that the crown prince will be intrusted

Roosevelt's assertion was made indi-

his name on the primary presidential
ballot there, though sufficient names had
been filed to warrant it on both Pro-

How Our Solar System May End and
New One Be Born.

New One Be Born.
The whole q the present solar sys-
tenn is ultimately to fall into the sun,
causing an explosion that mag result
In new solar system. Such is the
theory put forward by Professor Philip
Fauth, a well known astronomer.
whose reputation has rested principally
upon his researches into the conditions
on the moon.
The novel feature OF DIR. Fauth's the
DRY is that it is based upon the suppo-
sition that great part of the known
solar system, including especially the
planets Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn. are
not composed of mineral matter at all.
but are tremendous masses of ice or
balls of ice surrounding a mineral kerr
mel. Furthermore, he declares, a part
OF what is now known as the Milky
way is not mineral or gaseous, but "a
ring of ice dust" masses Of particles
of ice suspended in space, the other
planets receiving a constant addition
to their ice mass from this source.
Professor Fauth declares that the
world already at some remote periods
has had similar experience, resulting
in the death of nearly all animate ma
ture and that all species of life as we
know 1t have arisen since then. Even
tually the planets swinging through
their narrow orbits will fall into the
sun, causing a new explosion and per-
haps the birth of a new solar system.
but for thousands OF years before that
time, all life. either on earth or else
where, will have disappeared.

ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
Influence of the "Great Circle" on the
Journey to Manila.

Influence of the "Great Circle" on the
Journey to Manila.
If you wanted to go from the Pana-
ma canal to Yokohama which of these
two would be the shorter route? First,
across the ocean to Hawaii and from
there to Yokohama, or. second, up
along the coast to San Francisco and
then directly across the Pacific to Asia?
Nearly everybody would answer in
favor OF the Hawaiian route. But the
navigators tell us the journey is 266
miles shorter by way of San Francisco.
The great circle" does it. Its influ-
ence on distance sends ships from San
Francisco to Manila by way Of the
Aleutian' islands. Actually our vessels
would go much farther north than they
do but for the encouragement of the
United States photographic bureau at
Washington, which advises central
route, more than 200 miles longer than
the great circle, In order to escape the
rogs and ice of the far north.
The Hawaiian Islands are frequently
described as "the crossroads of the Pa
cihc." Their people are naturally look

This Is View Held by Former
President and the Bull
Moose Leaders
IF REPUBLICANS
ARE TO WIN
Senator Gore Says Hughes
Will Be the Fa-
vored Man

Washington, Jan. 6.-The possibilitie;
Of the nomination of Col. Roosevelt by
the Republican party at Chicago Were
more widely discussed than ever here
yesterday by reason of the action OF
the colonel in refusing to allow his name
to 60 on the ballot in Michigan as a
candidate of any party.
/ Far from eliminating Col Roosevelt
as a possible nominee of the Republican
party, his action is exactly in line with
what he has told his friends for weeks.
/ Moreover, his action is fully in line
with his plans which the Progressive
party leaders have for some time had
in mind, plans which they hope will re-
suit in the nomination of Roosevelt by
both the Republicans and the Bull Moose.
Further illumination will be afforded
when the Progressive conference is held
| in Chicago Jan. l. But information oh.
tanned thus far through prominent Pro-
gressiyes along with the fact that the
Bull Moose leaders have decided to hold
their convention at Chicago, June 7, at
the same time as the Republicans, leaves
little doubt as to the strategy the Pro-
gressiyes have mapped out.
Though Col. Roosevelt is not an active
candidate for the Republican nomination,
he has made up his mind, and so have
the Bull Moose leaders, that If the Re-
publicans are. to win in the coming cam
paign they must either take man of
his choosing or himself. This viii be
more fully made clear at the Chicago
conference this month,
Meanwhile, there can be no doubt
that some elements in the Republican
party formerly hostile to Roosevelt have
gone over to him. The Gary dinner evil
deneed this.
Another element is still bitter against |
him. The recent Taft declaration against |
Roosevelt demonstrated this. What will |
be the ultimate effect is doubtful. Right |
now it is serving more than ever to put |
Justice Hughes in the spotlight as
man whom all Republican factions could |
endorse and the Bull Moose could sup
port.
Furthermore, one effect of it is to CEN
ter more attention on the progressive
whom Roosevelt would sup
port ii named, men like Cummins, Boz
rah, and Hadley. Moreover, the prepar
edness issue, which Roosevelt is eager
to espouse, is looming up as an increas
ingly important factor in the political
situation.

Washington, March 4.--Immediate
construction of eight or nine battle
cruisers to provide an element OF
strength now lacking in the American
fleet, was urged before the house ma

commanding the battloship Nevada.
Tho captain also advised the build
ing Of many additional destroycrs. He
said that while much had been accom-
plished toward making armored ships
less vulnerable to torpedoeS. there had
been no solution of the problem oil
protecting a fleet against torpedo at
tack in open seas. Therefore, he said
the navy should have plenty of fast
craft to chase off destroyers and sub
marine enemies.
Much information was gwen tnt
committee by the witness concerning
the nayies of the world and their OPP
erations. He said 1t was improbable
that any great expedition against the
United States ever would start from
the other side Of the Atlantic. but that
some point in the West Indies proba
bly, would be used as naval base. III
