That men and children divide

That they have more than one

Planets Are SmOthered By
Wild Gas
By Garrett P. Serviss.

way that certain planets, of rela-
lively weak gravitational force,
like the moon, Mercury, and pos
sibly Mars, have been asphyxiated
and dessicated. The earth occupies
a critical position in this respect.
1t can readily retain all of the
other atmospheric gases, but no
hydrogen. 1t can hold permanently
only when it is locked up in combi-
nation with other elements, such
as oxygen, with which it forms
water.
Although hydrogen must be con-
tinually escaping at the top of the
earth's atmosphere, yet the supply
there may not at present vary
much because it is believed that
the space surrounding the sun con-
tains so many revolving particles
of gaseous substances that
planet travelling through them in
its orbit around the sun may
pick up about as many as It
loses. If it has lost all, how
ever, it cannot grasp a new sup
ply, but if it is as avaricious as
Jupiter, it may swell its atmos-
phere to enormous dimensions. The
great gaseous focus, however, is
the sun, which can control any
molecule moving with less veloc-
ity than 3S2 miles per second.
Hydrogen near the sun can glow
with intense heat and yet not burn.
Burning is simply the process Of
uniting with oxygen. When hydro
gen burns, it produces water; when
wood burns, it produces smoke,
ashes and gases; and in both cases
the product is an oxygen COM

The Commissioners did as they were told and reported

TO appropriate money for just such plant.
Their plans would have cost $8000OO financed in such
