cusses Climate Changes.
MYSTERY PUZZLE TO SCIENCE
Earth Cooled on During Long Periodic
When Sun, Earth and 'other

New York.-A new theory relating
to one Of the greatest mysteries about
the past Of the earth has been offered
by DIR. Harlow Shapley, the measurer
of the universe, whose appointment as
director of the Harvard observatory
was announced recently.
This mystery concerns the changes
of climate over millions Of years,
which at one time caused the polar Ice
cap to extend as far south as New
York and at other times warmed the
arctic region so thoroughly that the
animals and vegetation of the temper
ate zone could live there, as shown by
fossil remains In that region.
The earth has been cooled Off during
long periods, according to this theory,
when the sun, the earth and the other
planets were passing through regions
OF space filled with clouds Of dust or
dark, nebulous material. which cut of
enough of the suns heat to freeze
most Of the globe. At other times,
apparently, the solar system moved

Among the hundreds Of applicants for

patrol leaders and enthusiastic scouts,

and N. f. Mooney Of Kirkwall In the
Orkneys. Both boys are up on sea

Mooney came 600 miles to present him

New YOrk.-A series of delicate ex-
periments will soon be started by three
eminent American scientists to dis
cover whether bees and other insects
are color-blind or not The scientists
who are now busy inventing devices
for testing the vision of bees are DIR.

They form the committee on the bio
logical relations between flowers and
Insects OF the National Research coun-
ell.
Their tests Of the sight Of insects
are expected to last for years and to
establish just what q bee or a moth
can see and what 1t cannot see. These
years Of elaborate experimentation
have not been planned by the National
Research Council and undertaken by
three eminent scientists solely for the
purpose of ascertaining bees optical
equipment. A greater question lies
behind. The controversy about the
bees sight, 1t Is said, involves the
validity of the whole theory of natural
selection.
The evolution Of man from the
lower animals and the evolution Of all
plant and animal life from primitive
form Of life originating on earth bill
lions or hundreds Of millions Of years
ago are almost universally believed by
scientists, but the hypothesis that the
evolution was brought about almost
solely by the process Of natural selec-
ton has come under attack recently

Of the bees result In carrying pollen
from one flower to another, which
fertilizes the seeds. Unless they re-
caive the pollen the seeds do not grow.

Dog Receives Snakes
Fangs to Protect Lad

an Airedale dog owned by Frank
Belval of Hayward.

son, Robert, and the dog set out
on hiking trip from the BOlinas
valley ranch one Sunday after
noon. At a sharp turn In the
trail Belvel heard the warning
signal Of a coiled rattlesnake.
He jumped aside barely In time.
Before he could seize his son the
snake struck. But the faithful
dog, seemingly sensing the dan
ger, met the snake In midair, re-
ceiving its poisonous fangs upon
the lips. One shake and the dog
had killed the RATHER.
According to Belvel, the snake
possessed nine rattles and was
almost a yard long. First aid
applied to the wounded dog
saved its life.

Dust Cause Of
Ages of Cold

through a region of space almost en-
tirely free from such material, so that
the suns rays beat with full force on
the earth, probably making the polar
regions pleasant and the rest of the
earth unlivably hot. At present the
sun is apparently moving through a
part Of space thinly scattered with In
terplanetary materials.
An Age Of Murk.
A few million years ago, according
to Doctor Shapley, the earth. the sun
and the other planets were moving
through a murk which is observed by
astronomers in the constellation Of
Orion. This is one of many vast black
pockets, or 'coal Sacks" in the sky.
some Of which may be detected by the
naked eye. Behind this veil In Orion
are 20 faint stars which vary In in
tenslty. They average about 800 light
years (about 10000. OOO. OOO, 900 miles)
from the earth. which is moderate
distance automatically. and many of
them would probably be very bright,
except for the curtain Of dark mate
rial hung between them and the earth.
The density Of the curtain apparently
varies, from the manner In which the
stars behind 1t are Pickering. At the
densest, the black nebulae are believed
to be very rare. large stretches of
vacuum separating the particles of
matter. Still they are sufficient, be-
cause of the great space they occupy.
to blot out stars, and some astron-
omers believe the sky would be blind
ingly brilliant except for the smoky
patches. The black spot In Orion Is
calculated to be vastly greater than
our solar system.
In brief account Of his theory in
the Journal of Geology, Doctor Shap-
ley said that It Is calculated that "a
few million years ago our sun was in
the vicinity Of the Orion nebulae; at
its present speed the sun would re-
Quire nearly million years to pass
through that particular nebulous re-
gion." After showing how starlight Is
cut OF Mt present by billions of miles
Of dust-clouds in Orion. Doctor Shap-
ley proceeded to suggest how the
earth would fare when our solar sys-
tenn moved through the same region.
Effect Of Dust Clouds.
"A change OF 20 per cent in the
solar radiation" said Doctor Shapley,
III maintained for considerable
period Of years, would sufficiently al
ter terrestrial temperature to bring
about or remove an ice-sheet; an 80
per cent change. unless counteracted
by concurrent changes In the terri
torial atmosphere, would completely
desiccate or CONCEAL the surface OF the
earth.
Doctor Shapley- offered this theory
as an addition to many other causes
Of climatic change discussed by Dr.
w. J. Humphreys Of the United States
weather bureau.
There are apparent flaws in nearly
all the theories which have been put
forward. None Of them account for
the many far-reaching changes in
climate indicated by the geological
record. 4.

cause an age OF cold. according to Doc
tor Humphreys. He calls attention to
the fact that the great volcano Of
