Two Theories--Take Your Choice,

New scientific discoveries con.
stantly are knocking out old theories
that have come to be regarded nj.
most as established facts. Ever
the we'll known theory that the
earth Is losing Its heat and In the
course of time will become too cold
for habtatioh now Is disputed.
Nine. Curie, of Paris, famous for the
part she played In helping to dis
cover radium, explains the newei
scientific theory, which holds tht
earth actually is growing warmer
instead OF colder. 1T is known,
she says, that radioactive sub
stances such as radium are dissent
mated throughout the carth's crust
In Mute quantities. These quanti-
ties can be measured by electro
meters. These measures have estab-
lished that given quantity OF ra-
dunn throws out heat sufficient to
melt in an hour Its own, weight Of
ice. This heat Is numerical values
is equal to 1876 cal0ries per gram
of radium per hour. Thus one can
calculate the hea: given out by ra-
dirm in the earth's crust. On the
other hand, the heat reelected into
space by the earth Is known heat
originating in the increased temper
ature of the earth towards its CEN
ter and In the thermic conductibili-
ty of superficial rocks. II is found
on comparing the two numbers that
the radio active elements in the
earth's crust are more than sufiici-
ent to compensate for the loss Of
heat by radiation"
This is very interesting, OF course,
and is also reassuring to persons
who may have found cause for worry
in the mere ancient theory that the
earth is growing colder and some
time will be as lifeless as Is the
moon. Perhaps, however, there Is
equal cause for worry In the other
theory that anticipates steadily In
creasing heat, for either extreme
would be uncomfortable after II
passed the ratve Of happy medium.
Still, 1t is more pleasant to cotem-
plate world of perpetual summer
than one Of perpetual winter, and
rs matter of choice most persons
probably would refer Palm Beach
climate to one of artic Brightness.
Anyhow you now can take your
choice, for with one set of scien-
lists insisting earth is losing its
heat, and another set no less con-
fident ii is growing warmer all the
time, you pick side that suits your
fancy and back up your contention
with arguments that have the
weight CT scientific authority. And
even If you are bothered by fieeting
doubts concerning your own pet
theory, you win have bhe satisfac-
tion of knowing the other side Is no
better off, for they also have no way
of absolutely proving their claims.

Mrs. LeProhon Kidnapped.

tempted in Mountain Home was
perpetrated by two masked men
Monday night.
At Sis the door bell rang at the
home of w. n. Montgomery and
Celia, who was there at the time,
tripped blithely to open II in bliss
full ignorance of the fate that was
awaiting her. Hardly had the door
been opened when she found herself
enveloped in a sheet, carried into a
car and being madly driven into an
unknown future, all being done with
skill and rapidity that only des-
peradoes of long experience, could
accomplish.
The CHEEKY lights of the village
being dimly visible through the
sheet. all was comparatively peac-
able, but when, after many turns
and ramblings there was unbroken
silence and darkness and the road
became rough, visions OF imprison-
ment within the bandits haunts
came to- the tortured mind of the
helpless girl and all the latent
fighting propensities burst forth in
all their fury.
Suddenly there was halt and
the victim was borne swiftly into a
house and deposited on the hoor In
the center OF a room. When the
sheet was removed from about her,
those present beheld spectacle
which convinced them that this
creature with dishevelIed hair, dis
/ ranged clothing and fiery eyes be-
longed to the tribe of wild, wild
women." That she was the widest
Of the wild was quite evident upon
q glance at the bandits who were
painting vigorously and perspiring
freely.
In another moment Celia was on
her feet and found herself in the
midst of a party of friends at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs Casper Helm.
In place of dingy cave, she was in
the rosy glow of home adorned for
bride. An arcflway Of rose gar
lands in the center Of which hung
horseshoe for good luck, rose
colOred lamp shades, long table toI
whose corners pink satin ribbons
we're fegtooned from the chande
lier, and an orante three story
wedding cake in the center, were
some of the features giving the
bridal atmosphere.
The hours OF the evening were
pleasantly whiled away with various
games, singing and music by the
Webb orchestra. The most unique
feature of the evenings entertain
ment, however, was that furnished
by Miss Louisa Uriona. She sang
La Paloma" and various other
Spanish songs in that delightful
language which is music in itself
She also danced two Spanish dan
ces, la Jota" and "La Prusalda,
meanwhile swapping her fingers in
imitation OF castanets.
or course the "eats' were very
interesting feature in the events of
the evening. While the bridal
march was played, an elaborate
bridal veil OF mosquito netting and
artificial orange blossoms was
placed on the brides head and she
and her brother led the march to
the tables. After the wedding cake
had been cut and the participants
made happy or otherwise with the
ring, dimeand thimble found there
in, covered article was placed be-
fore the bride. She was asked to
lift the cloth, which she did, and
disclosed a beautiful electric per-
eolator set, the gift OF the Mont
gomery Bunk girls"
Then Mrs. LeProhon decided that
all had been forgiven for the rough
treatment received in the first part
of the evening.

Customs Aids Say Prisoner
Wore Belt Containing l28
Bottles of Illicit Drugs

What customs authorities say was an
attempt to smuggle approximately
100000 worth of outlawed plumage. i'll
licit drugs and, jcwelry into this port
was frustrated yesterday when Domi-
nico Cont, a contractor, who gave the
address Of 1875 Madison Street, Manhat-
tan, was arrested on charge of snug
CLING. The plumber, according to the
officials, was found on Cont and in his
baggage, following the docking of the
steamship Presidente Wilson at the
Bush Terminal, Brooklyn.
Suspicion was aroused Tuesday night
when Customs Inspector Charles A.
Safarick says he found false bot
toned valisc among Conti's effects.
Cont then was taken into custody
while the rest of his luggage was
searched. Eight bundles of aigrettes,
five packages of bird of-paradise feath-
ers, six bottles of liquor and more than
two dozen uncut diamonds are said to
have been found concealed between the
sides of a trunk which had false bot
toms and sides. Further search, it is
said, revealed sixty-eight bottles of
morphine and heroin hidden between
the false sides of a valise. A money
belt which authorities declare Cont
was wearing around his waist contained
1913 bottles of heroin and morphine,
customs men say.
The authorities also discovered that
a trunk and two valises had been left
aboard the ship by Cont. These will
be brought ashore and examined to-
day.
After his arrest Cont was taken to
the custom house and examined. 1t is
declared that he admitted possession of
the seized goods, and offered no ex-
planation. He is also said to have
admitted that he told customs inspec-
tors at the pier that he had nothing
to declare when the formal question
was being asked alb second class pas
sengers who were permitted to land.
The Presidente Wilson sailed from Ma
Piles and Trieste, and on account of
disease in the latter port, arrived here
under quarantine. Only first and sec
ondclass passengers were permitted to
land.
Cont, who retained as counsel JOS
eph Nicholi, of $50 Broadway, will be
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Leroy Ross in Brooklyn this
morning.
