The Swinging Earth.
For Two Centuries Now People Have
Believed NewtOn'S Theory.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: Here
is test for one kind of intel
lectuality. From July to January |
the earth falls about three million miles
toward the sun to perihelion then from
heavy earth moves upward from the sun
tho three million miles to the starting
pcint again. This movement toward and
from the sun takes place every year.
This is the third century that man has
been taught by Sir Isaac Newton's
theory to believe that the sun attracts
the earth so fast In this fall of three
million miles from July to January
as to cause this great weight to rush
past the sun at perihelicn and to rise
UP from the sun the three million miles
from January l TO July l, to the start
ing point again.
Any man who believes this idea has
missed the truth. and as long as he
believes ii he never can be able TO un-
derstand the simple truth that explains
electricity, magnetism and the cause OF
all changes of weather.
The idea of the suns attraction pull
ing the earth fast enough 10 cause 1t
to go past the sun and move upward
from the sun TO the original height from
which 1t sta tod is an ignorant idea
akin to those ideas of misguided peo-
pie who tinker with perpetual motion
machinery. 1t is blight on intellec-
tuality.
The effect OF this erroneous idea
whose authorship was scrambled over
By Hoolte and Newton--which has been
exploited over 200 years. has been to
retard the progress Of all physical
sciences. because the true explanation
or the cause OF the earth's movements
is the fundamental principle upon which
all physical sciences depend.
Here Is a eample OF the public opln-
ion of couple OF centuries:
Nature and Natures laws lay hid in nigh. .
God said. Let Newton be-and all was light.
The world Is SO good natured that 1t
let's It's good nature get away with Its
good sense. d. A. N. GROVER.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: read
with interest your excellent editorial
article entitled ION as Peril OF the
Sea-"
During the last I'VE years important
advances have been made In the appli-
cssion of pulverizcd coal under boilers,
and this art Is to-day on practical
and established basis. There is no rea-
son why pulverized coal cannot be used
on steamships as we'll as under station
ary boilers.
There Is now being developed In this
country upward OF 10000 horsepower
an hour under stationary boilers. CIV

the British thermal units contained In
the coal as fred. In other words, q boiler
and furnace efficiency OF around so per
cent. and frequently more. No more
labor will be required In the boiler room
with pulverized coal than with fuel oil.
as one fireman can operate several boil

remove the ashes from tho boiler fur

cities would be as free from oil nui-
sanco as they were before oil was uni

The material can be handled In small
closed pipes and pumped around to rarl-
Gus parts Of tho ship and to tho fur
naccs, eliminating dust and some other
Objectionable features. which have been
carefully worked out in the present
state OF the art.
In this country at least fifteen million
tons OF coal IN pulverized form Is used
annually. II Is not necessary 70 obtain
specific kind of coal. as the system
will handle any coal which has a BTU

Why Exchange Declines.

German marks have not declined
without good reason to less than one
cent each in New York and to less
than three farthings in London. The
feverish desire of the Germans them
selves 10 transfer their savings from
their home banks to a safe place
abroad has something to do with the
rrecipitancy OF the fall and moved
the Berlin rulers to consider seques-
t.-ation of foreign bills.
But this action BY the German
authorities could only render less
turbid the decline Of German money
values without in the least altering
the trend OF the mark to its ultimate
stable level. IL 1t can flud such a
level under present conditions.
Germany's payment OF the install
ment of reparations on September 1
caused a renewed outpouring of pa
per marks which raised the circula-
ton OF the Reichsbank between Au-
gust 20 and September 3 from 6S,-
423,000,000 marks to 71,960,000, 900
marks, an increase OF 3,500,00e,00
marks in two weeks.
In the same period the Reichsbank
gold reserve was drawn down from
t.091. $4,000 to 1923, ,7os,o00 marks.
The present microscopic gold reserve
Of IA per cent. displaces the former
reserve Of 1.6 per cent. and further
tlasts the hope, IL such a hope has
existed since the armistice, that Ger
many would some day be able TO re-
turn to the gold standard by making
her paper money redeemable at face
value in gold.
Even with this further impairment
or Germany's reserve and the in
cvitable depreciation of her cur.
rency In the exchange market It
might have been expected that the
reparations payments would enable
the Entente nations to support their
currencies in the New York market.
Whatever might have been accom-
plished on this score was circum-
rented by the continued growth OF
cur excess OF exports, amounting in
August to $751;, 100000 and for the
eight months to September l the ex-
cess was s1,536,OoO. 1000. Practically
all Of this goes down directly or by
arbitragc from South America and
elsewhere TO the debit account of
Europe.
To Offset this we received from
about thirty countries up to Septem-
Der | net payments Of s490, 900, 900 In
gold and silver. all of which goes
directly or indirectly to the credit
IT Europe. Another European credit
Of s250,000000 can be marked up,
granting that the whole oS the
i,00o,000,000 gold marks Of German
icparations was turned over to this
country.
Our ships carried only 81 per cent.
Of our imports and exports during
the first seven months OF this year.

Figures, Fodder and Finance.

When the Italian representatives
returned to Rome on August 16 last
from the Paris meeting OF the Su
rreme Council they summoned mem
bers of the press and outlined for
publication what Italy had gained
IN the conference. The Minister OF
Finance, Signor SoLERr, informed the
correspondents that Italy had OBJ
tanned substantisl financial advan
tages and he proceeded TO enumerate
what these were, as follows:
First, gain Of 15o.00o,ooo lire
ON the price OF coal to be delivered
by way OF reparation. and. secondly,
the agreement that her 25 per cent
of the neparations due from Austria
and Hungary should be Immediately
assessed at a sum not less than
5000. 100000 gold marks, which.
pending the ability OF Austria. Hun
gary and Bulgaria to pay, should
be delivered by Germany to the
Reparations Commission in Series c
bonds. interest on which would run
at the rate of 6 per cent. from
November next. Instead of her orig
inal 10 per cent to be paid by Ger
many, Italy would be entitled TO
1000. 100000 marks gold, being 25
per cent. OF 5000, o0o,o marks
gold. plus 10 per cent. of the re-
manning $4,000, 100000 marks gold.
without prejudice TO her claims on
Austria's state lands, and TO the
$3.50. .ooo,0 GOO gold francs due to her
by Bulgaria"
Thus put. the gain to Italy looked
enormous. The Minister of Finance
summed UP the imposing statistics
into the one concrete statement that
instead of receiving 13,200,000,o00 OF
the Series C German reparations
bonds, Italy would get 14,400, ,000, 900
gold marks in these securities.
This in itself might have been a
substantial gain for Italy had there
been no limiting conditions. But
these Series G bonds are to be is.
sued, according to the London agree
ment, in the total sum of S2,000,Oeo.-
600 gold marks. Ahead of them come
10000, 100000 gold marks of Series a
bonds, $4,000, 100000 gold marks OF
Series B bonds, the total Belgian war
debt to the Allies and the 26 per cent
tax on German exports.
After the Finance Minister had
dealt with the long and lanky
shadow of the reparations agree
rsent the Minister OF the Treasury
Slgnor DE NAvA, dealt with the short
and stubby substance. His is the
more urgent immediate task Of find.
ing money to keep the wolf from the
treasury door. Signor DE MAYA said
pensions and reconstruction costs for
the current year woul1 amount to
S139, 100000 in gold, or 3,476,o00. .00C
lire. but the next budget would be
teneiited by reparations payments
to the meagre extent OF only 600,
100000 lire, which, interpreted in
terms of gold, will be something like
s25, 100000.
The quantity of German repara
tions bonds which will shortly gar.
nish the Italian Governments strong
box is stupendous. But the Minister
of the Treasury knows. even IL the
Minister Of Finance does not, that
in these times pound of fodder has
greater appeal than a million tons OF
figures.
