THEORY OF EARTH FORMATION
Its Acceptance Would Explain the
Triangular Shape Of the Worlds
Continents and Seas.

Any theory which attempts to ex-
plain the formation of our world must
take into account certain curious facts.
Among these is great preponderance
of land in the northern hemisphere
and Of water In the southern. Sec
ond: Most oceans and most conti-
nents are more or less triangular in
shape, and they nearly all point south

most unbroken ring In the north and
water In the south. Fourth: II we

but always over water, except in q
few small patches. These curious
facts have given rise to the 80 called
''tetrahedral" theory Of the formation
of our globe. 1t has been found by
experiment that a round tube. under
pressure, tends to collapse into tri-
angular form, writes Hereward Car
rington In Leslie's. This gives the
greatest amount Of surface for the

result Of this Is that certain fat
surfaces are formed and also certain
points or angles which project. Wa

of gravity than the projecting corners.
The result is that the continents"
which correspond on this theory to

we examined a map of the world with

that the general conformation Of the
land and water and their distribution

DETERMINING SEX OF CHICKS
According to French Scientist, the
Weight Of the EGG 10 Ger
tain indication.

That the weight of eggs may indi-
cate the sex Of chickens, under certain
conditions, is suggested by experiments
reported to the French Academy Of
Sciences. Noticing the heaviness OF
the cock, NJ. Leinhart found that in
all breeds of fowl the adult male ID
from one to two pounds or more heavier
than the female, and even in chicks as
young as five days the difference
ranges from a little more than half an
ounce to a little less than an ounce.
This made 1t appear that the difrer-
ence might also exist In the egg. Many
trials showed that the eggs of leg
horns weighed from 10 to 2.5 ounces,
the average being % ounces, and In
the spring of 1918, 60 eggs selected on
account of their size. were placed In
an incubator for Matching. The select
ed eggs weighed between 81 ounces
and 2.5 ounces, seven being slightly
below the average, while the others
exceeded 1t. The chicks hatched num-
bered 4S, of which 81 were males and
II females-convincing the expert
menter that the sex of the fowls can
be determined In the eggs. It is
pointed out, however. that the parent
fowls must be pure bred, and that the
hens must be of the same age and the
eggs gathered at the height of the lay
ing season.

absently as he took his gaze on q

desk in front Of him. why, hello

Brockton shook his visitors hand
warmly as he offered him a seat.

think to say as he dropped into. the
chair like a piece Of lead.
The older man leaned back in his
chair and waited. an expression Of
amused sympathy playing over his
face.
''Mr. Brockton, want to-I want

said Brockton kindly, his blue eyes
twinkling. II had to do the same
thing myself once, and i haven't for

it?"
"Yes," he answered quickly as he
glanced gratefully at his prospective
father-in-law.
II thought so. How are you fixed
about supporting wife?"
"Of course, Mr.. Brockton, couldn't
keep Doris in the luxury to which she
is accustomed-that is, not at present
but believe could make her COM
Portable. I'd certainly do everything
in my power, anyhow"
'"That's right, young man, and be-

''Take her, then, my boy" said
Brockton, gently.
A few minutes later Conover left the
office of L. B. Brockton, attorney, on
winged feet. He stopped at florists

bouquet of American Beauties, then
recklessly hailed passing taxi and
went speeding toward the Brockton

"How absurd, you old dear. Just

A few days later Mrs. Cory felt that
her prejudice had been we'll founded.
Time after time she saw the gardener
stop his work and stand staring across
toward Martha's place.
He il even worse when Martha's
,ut in the yard" she said. "rm sure
he has some designs on Martha, or
else he Is planning to rob her"
The next afternoon Mrs. Cory
watched him as he worked nearer and
nearer the fence dividing the two
farms. Suddenly he ceased his work
entirely and leaned on the fence, look
ing steadily at Martha's home.
Now Tom had been longing to go
over and talk to Martha. but then
would come the thought: mo. she
doesn't love me now. and cannot bear
to hear her tell me so. As things are,
can see her. and that is something"
As he leaned on the fence he was
tempted. There was no one in sight,
and the lilac bush. under which they
sat the night she had promised to be
his wife, was just short distance
from the fence. He wanted. just once
more, to sit underneath that bush.
That lilac bush was full of memories
to him. He wanted to sit under it and
imagine that Martha was with him.
Leaping the fence. he went quickly to
the bush. touching its blossoms as
though they were sacred.
His meditations were cut short by
the sound of voices coming toward
him. AS he peered cautiously around
the bush he saw Martha and little
girl approaching. He glanced quickly
around for some means Of escape, and
seeing none. stopped lower under the
branches.
The next instant Martha and the lit
tie girl seated themselves on the
other side of the bush not three feet
away from him. And then the childish
voice:
Aunt Martha, why do you like to
sit under this bush better than the
others? Did you plant 1t yourself?"
Toms heart gave leap as he
listened breathlessly for Martha's an
swer.
NO, Jeane, GEAR, man planted 1t
for me-"
"Oh, Aunt Martha, do tell mel Is
it the man you have the picture of /;
the picture saw you kiss last night ~
As Martha hesitated two strong
arms folded around her and deep
voice said: "And tell me, too, Martha"
At first Martha gasped with fright.
Then Tom hastily drew off the wig
and glasses, and Martha's look Of
fright turned to one of happiness-then
doubt.
But, Tom, Ben told me that you
were married to city girl"
Tom looked surprised. "And that is
why my letters were not answered? ?
There has never been room in my heart
for any one but you, Martha"
And the little, romantic Jeane was
satisfied.

THE NEW
GARDENER.
By }. X. MARSHALL

@ 1850. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicats.)
It was Sunday afternoon, while
walking in the park. that the idea came
to Thomas Hicks, president and owner
Of the Thomas Hicks company, brok-
ers, to visit his old home town, Lynne
wood, In the southern part Of Florida.
It had been ten years since he left
home. and in all that time he had not
been back. In those years he had been
busy and he had made money-plenty
Of 1t. Now. he could afford to take the
been feeling up to par Of late. and for
the past few weeks memories Of the
old happy. care-free life kept coming
to him.
Uppermost among these thoughts
was the memory Of the last year he
had spent there, when he and pretty
Martha Wells were engaged. He re-
membered, with an amused smile, the
bitter disappointment Of his old rival.
Ben Gwynne. when Martha told him
of their plans. Then came the eve
ming when he told Martha's father of
his plan to sell his old home and use
the money to give him a start in the
city.
Mr.. Wells would not hear Of this
at all. "What" he had exclaimed.
"Sell your home. adjoining mine, and
take my daughter away from me to the
city to liver OF course il Tom want
ed to sell his home, he could not stop
him, but unless he settled down on the
place he could not have Martha. So
Martha had to make her choice.
At first she tried to persuade Tom
to stay; but Tom was ambitious, and
wanted to make money. Then she tried
to change her fathers ideas, but was
without success. And so Martha had
stayed back home with her father,
while Tom went to the city. They had
parted with the hopes that, in very
short time Tom would make good, re-
turn home and buy back the old place |;
then he and Martha could be mar
ried.
After three years of hard work, and
just as he was beginning to realize his
dreams of success, Martha had
stopped answering his letters, and Tom
decided that Martha had ceased to
care for him. Now he was going back
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1920-05-27

to see Martha. Even though she were
married to another man, he wanted to
see her again.
As Tom stood In the depot waiting
for the train that would take him to
Lynnewood. he reviewed the past few
days with satisfaction. They had been
busy days. but he had left everything
in good shape, SO that he would be
free from worry and could take his
time about coming back.
By the time he had arrived at the
again. AS ne alighted at the station
and glanced down the clean, white
streets, with their lovely shade trees,
he wondered how he had ever come
to leave 1t all. He recognized several
people on the platform. and at first
there came a pang Of disappointment
when they did not speak to him. Then
he remembered why. The day before
he left the city he had conceived the
idea of returning home incognito.
The result was the purchase of a
sandy wig to cover his dark hair, large
dark glasses and regular country
clothes. And none knew better than
Tom just what to buy. There were
blue overalls, straw hat and gray
tweed suit, which he had donned that
morning.
He would hire himself as farm
hand somewhere near Martha's home.
And, disguised as he was, he could see
her often, and perhaps talk to her
without being recognized. Then fate
took hand in helping Tom.
The Abe Cory farm was just on the
other side of Martha's home and theiI
gardener bad left them the day before,
80 Tom got the job. He learned that
Martha was still single and was liv
ing alone. her father having died.
Mrs. Gary had not favored hiring the
new gardener, concerning whom. as
she told her husband, they knew moth
