MERCILESS ATTACKS ON DEAD EMPEROR

PARIS, Dec, "A dispatch just re ceived from Madrid reports that the Austrian embassy has annouced of ficially the death of Emperor Francis Joseph Following the official an nouncement the Newspapers of the city have been merciless in their ar raingment of the dead Emperor. The Matin says in part;

a title suggested by Professor Soddy. After another tens of million years the ineandescent earth will have expended all of it's heat into space by radiation and it gradually will cool A new crust then begins to form anew.
 Thus we find that worlds do not die It is more than probable from the above that the earth must have passed many times through this cycle.
 This is the new and greater gospel of radium, the element which will em- aneipate man and which will destroy him and his all later.

WILL THE EARTH
 GO UP IN FIRE?


 Nearly nineteen hundred years ago ! St Peter wrote in the third chapter of his second epistle:
 But the day of the lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with Geryent heat. the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
 And today, writing in the Electrical Experimenter, H. Gernsback in an edi- torial says:
 If we place a thermometer into a phial containing a minute quantity of radium bromide, the purest conner cial radium. the mercury will indicate temperature 2.7 degrees hotter than the temperature outside of the phial. The heat radiated from our speek of radium bromide does not grow less IS the days and months, nay, years and centuries roll by.
 In order to better comprehend what this means. let us compare it with coal. This is what we find. According to Professor Soddy, a gram of pure radium evolves 133 cal ories of heat per hour. In one year lS.760 hours the same gram of radium evolves 1,6o0,OO0 calories. In 2,50O years-the length of time radium will evolve energy 900,0O0,OO calories will be developed, while a gram of coal evolves 2,200 calories of heat.
 And radium is by no means as scarce as most people believe Radium en- anations have been found in springs in the air, in rocks, etc, and this has given rise to an extraordinary theory regarding the evolution of the worlds
 When the famous Swiss-Italian Sim pion tunnel was constructed some years ago totally unforeseen circum- stances arose which made the work most difficult. Although this tunnel is far above the sea level. the heat be- came uncomfortable as the work pro- gressed. Artificial cooling had to be resorted to in order to allow the men to proceed with their work. Proffes sor Joly then made the astounding discovery that the rocks of the Simp- lon contained radium. which accounted for the unexpected high temperature within the mountain.
 From this Joly has built up a new theory of evolution, and while revolu- tionary in the extreme it is most plaus- able and gains more adherents each year.
 Lord Kelvin already deducted that if the earth contained only two parts of radium per million-and a great deal more is actually found in the rocks and crust of our globe-this min ute quantity would raise the tempera- ture of the earth's core 1900 degrees C. in 100,000,000 years There being no escape for the imprisoned heat the earth's crust being an exceedingly bad heat conductor-Professor Joly convinces us that as the ages roll by he interior of the earth must become hotter and hotter Finally after the end of millions of years the crust must give way tc this tremendous heat from within and the bursting earth must go up in flames, becoming a burning gas ball, just as we see our sun today.
 This will be the "incandescent age"

ACTUS club Just about has the City
Basketball league pennant cinched.
~ Unless captain Bowmans team
takes an awful slump in the sec
ond half Of the season it will land
the city honors. BY taking satur-
day nights game from the Walz five
the Cactus prevented a tie for the
league leadership and it now appears as
though the real excitement in the
league will be for second place honors
with Walz and High school as the con-
tenders and Feldmans in the guise Of a
black horse"
The big game on Saturday night was
started on time. The captains had
taken the tip and held their conference
before the scheduled time of starting.
Besides agreeing to let L. Rutledge, OF
the School OF Mines, rose as the referee,
they also agreed that the rules were not
TO be very strictly enforced. The new
rules which makes II personal foul
for the third man who mixes with two
others for the ball was changed to
make it only a technical foul.
From the standpoint Of real basket
ball. the game was a poor one. There
was far too much charging. holding and
running with the ball. However, as
Rutledge was put on the floor merely
TO blow the whistle he can hardly be
charged with lack Of attention to his
duties. The blame for the infractiOns
Of the rules rests with the two cap
taius. The fans are asked to pay their
money TO see a basketball match, not a

An Interesting Melee.

Once more the strong Cactus guards
proved their worth. though Bob Done
was, for the first time this season,
serious offender in holding. The Cactus
guards broke up all the Walz cOmbina-
tion and when Fats" Ross turned his
ankle in the second half, the musicians
were further handicapped. Curly Bow

luck seemed to favor every shot he
made on the basket He scored seem
ingly impossible shots.

Verne Lyman was the star performer
for the Wall team. He played a re-
markedly good game, while Henry
schumacher continued TO show i'm
provement in his work and was another
brilliant performer. Fats" Ross
worked hard and his good work did not
shine as brilliantly as usual because Of
the fact that he was opposed to Bob
