REVOLVER INVENTED BY BOY
Idea Of Deadly Small Arm Was Born
In the Brain Of fourteen-
Year-Oid Runaway.

The revolver, that until the invention
of the automatic pistol, was the most
deadly small arm known to man, was
born of the brain of fourteen-year-
old boy, Samuel Colt. Colt ran away
from school and shipped on board a
merchant vessel bound for the East
Indies. He had good deal of idle
time on his hands once the ship was
well at sea, and a long period of calm
weather followed its movements. He
began to seek an outlet for his active
Imagination and mechanical urge. He
attempted various things to aid sailing.
but without any great success. He
then took to planning a pistol that
would shoot several times with a
single load. He had only bits of wood
and jack knife to work with. but be-
fore the voyage was over he had cut
out model for a revolver very SINH
lar to the pattern still In use.
Once at home again, he went to
work in his fathers factory, but the
revolver idea was still In his head, and
til he was twenty-one. At this point
his experiments had so far advanced
that he asked for and obtained patents
in America and European countries.
A stock company was organized. and
from this humble start the great Colt
arms factory was begun, and the re-
vOlver put on a market that soon car
ried 1t around the world.

SCIENTISTS HOLD TWO VIEWS
Are Not in Accord in Their Expiana.
ton OF Origin Of the Planetary
System.

Scientists explain the origin Of our
planetary system In two ways. One
of these is the familiar nebular n.y.
pothesis Of Lapace. The other is the
planetesmal theory of Professor Moul-
ton. which Is probably the most cor
rect one. According to this theory
our planetary system was originally
vast spiral nebulae. The planets
were formed by accretions of matter
In the spirals of the nebulae. Our
earth and its satellite, the moon, were
formed in this way. The moon being
smaller accretion of matter, was
naturally attracted by the earth, which
was possessed Of enough gravitatiOn
to hold the moon. The moon there
fore Is not a child of the earth, but
speaking in everyday parlance, we
might call it an adopted child. This
theory explains great deal that the
nebular hypothesis does not. There
are vast numbers of such spiral neb-
ulae in the heavens, indicating that
this is natures accepted way Of Gre
ating new worlds, and it is for these
reasons that accept this view Of the
formation Of the earth and the moon.
