Some new ideas relative to gravita-
ton, the heat of the sun, electric cur
rents light and other ether phe-
uornena have been evolved by II. Ed
gar Kinear, of Topeka, after twenty
five years of research work. Kinear
was one of the originators OF the
Evans club. an organization designed
for the study of ether phenomena
kinear has published a small vol
ume entitled important Ether Phe-
nomena." in which his theories are set
forth. They are in considerable vari-
ance with the accepted ones.
Kinear holds that gravity is not
property Of matter but that the eff
fects attributed to it are produced by
the transformation of the stress in the
ether into active forces, which turn
the earth from a rectilinear course
and cause 1t 10 traverse an cllipticaI
path around the sun. Another effect
produced is the importation of force to
terrestrial matter which gives to the
latter a tendency-to move in the di-
rection i'm which the force acts; hence
bodies raised above the earth are
forced rapidly TO it and those on its
surface tend to move into it. In other
words. the property Of weight is i'm
parted by the force. Weight and the
effects attributed to gravity, then, arc
due to the action of repellant forces

render its action instantaneous
Heat is an effect produced by free
rlectrons and the degree OF neat IS
proportional to the number OF free
cIectrons present. The sun is not an
execution to this, its enormously high

,manating from millions and millions
OF other suns. commonly called stars,
many of which are much larger and
Of higher temperature than our SUM-
But while the temperature of the sun
is enormously high, none of the heat
passes thru space to our earth We
arc Supplied with the heat neces-
sary to maintain life by the sun, just
as that uminary is by the stars; that
is. the heat supplied the earth is pro-
tuced by electrons liberated from the
SUMS rays when they come in con-
t9ct with terrestrial matter. The sun,
then, will continue to supply our earth
with heat as long as the rays of mil
lions of stars pour into it.
II our sun. in its ceaseless journey
thru space. should pass into a part OF
the latter in which it received a much
.reater number Of rays from the stars
than a present, the heat would be
come so great that all life on our
earth would he destroyed. ON the
other hand. if it received much
smaller number of rays. the number
of rays reaching cur earth would be
greatly reduced with the result that
the temperht would undergo a cor
responding increase and all life would
become extinct.
Tho End of the World.
As regards the end OF our world
As molecules are formed by atoms ana
atoms are composed of electrons and
all terrestrial matter is made up of
atoms and molecules. we may infer
that our world some time in the far
distant future, when worn out. viii
come to an end by resolution into the
constituent electrons out of which it
was created in the aeons of the past
How will it be done? That is prob
lematical. but if the earth should en-
ter an area Of space in which the stress
in the ether where reduced to such an
extent that pressure eXerted by it
would be insufficient to hold the con-
stiuuept parts of the atoms, disintegra-
ton into clectrons again would take
place.
