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.
pothesls 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
a vast spiral nebulae. The planets
were formed by accretions OF matter
In the spirals of the nebnlae. Our
earth and its satellite, the moon, we're
formed in this way. The moon being
q 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 1t an adopted child. This
theory explains a 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 1t is for these
reasons that accept this view of the
formation Of the earth and the moon.

Two Cold Inaugurations.

Two presidential inaugurations es-
pecially marked by cold weather were
those of Taft and Grant (his second.
Thousands of people became sick
from exposure during Grants second
Inauguration and many died. 1t is
said the coughing of people who had
colds was so great that the orchestra
at the inaugural ball could hardly be
heard.
The Taft inaugural blizzard began
in Washington the afternoon Of March
S. 1909. 1t continued all night, and
the snow in the capital the next day
was so deep that 1t seemed impossi-
BILE to have a parade. But the pa
rade was held, and on street swept
clean, thanks to the Washington
street department which removed
thousands of wagon loads of snow and
slush from Pennsylvania avenue. Many
people became sick from standing in
the snow or sitting in the cold stands
to watch the parade. There was much
suffering caused by exposure. Presi-
dent Taft's reviewing section was In
closed in glass and heated by cleo
tricity.

NOT ALL VICIOUS
Hunter Revised Opinion of Bad
Tempered Mule.
Strange Desire for Offspring Pressed
the Springs of That zone
Touch of Nature"

When ! was first In Africa used
to ride mule. In some ways these
animals are better suited to the cOun-
try than pOnies-they are tougher and
do not contract horse sickness as easi-
~, writes Llewelyn Powers in the
New York Evening Post.
The particular mule which | rode
was distinguished by having the most
vicious temper Of any animal l have
ever known. 1t was quite impossible
TO saddle il unless | put twitch on
it's nose had to carry one on the
end of my kibOko all the time.
As soon as ever it saw me approach
with the saddle it would give a Sc
ries of the most horrible squealing
screams and begin kicking and kick
Ing like the very devil. Sometimes
1t would be in so vlllainous a mood
that. besides the twitch, l would have
to get hoy to hold up one of its
front legs. However, 1t would give
me no more trouble when | was once
in the saddle, and it seemed quite
Indifferent as to the length of the
journey | took. never appearing to be
in the least tired.
Every time heard it begin scream
ing used to say to myself: "What
devilish son-Of-a-gun you are, with
out a single redeeming point. can
never feel anything but hostility TO
such an ill-natured brute"
Well. do you know, before had
seen the last Of 1t l felt altogether
different. And this is how 1t came
about:
The mule was a mare, and wheE |
was not riding would run out on the
veldt with the other horse mares of
the farm. 1t was the business of an
old Swahili to look after them and
see that they were driven back to the
stockade every night.
This boy came running to me one
evening with a look of absolute
amaZement on his face, to say that
the mule had a foal. Now, by the
laws of nature l knew 1t was imp0s-
sible for mules to breed. SO after
l had listened to his story simply
told him that he was liar. He went
away very chagrined at this, swear
ing that he was speaking the truth.
Presently l heard the clatter Of
boots, indicating the approach Of the
horses driven toward the homestead
by the old Swnhill at the appointed
hour. Invent out to watch them pass,
and while they were still some way
off saw to my utter establishment n
little creature tOttering by the side Of
the mule However, when they came
nearer still It became obvious that 1t
was the fOal OF one of the mares.
Under the urge of the maternal in
stinct the mule had driven the mare
away and was now proposing to moth
er the little thing, although Of course
she had no milk whatever to give 1t.
I drove them all into a large yard
and with difficulty got the mare and
foal together again.
On that occasion l was pretty an
noyed.
Evil brute" l thought; playing
the foo! with the mare like that"

REVOLVER INVENTED BY BOY
Idea Of Deadly Sma Arm Was Born
In the Brain Of Fourteen
Year-oli 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 =
merchant vessel bound for the East
Indies. He had a good deal Of idle
time on his hands once the ship was
well at sea, and 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 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 revolver very simi-
lar to the pattern still in use.

Baseball has long been recognized
as the sport most intimately assOci-
ated with the Stars and Stripes and
while baseball is by long odds the
Betelgeuse of the sport armament in
America, there are numberless stars
and suns of lesser magnitude whose
advocates are counted by hundreds of
thousands.
America has succeeded in introduce
ing many American customs and pas
times into the lands that have come
under her banner. She is responsible
for the popularity of baseball in Cuba I;
our great game has found some favor
with the natives of Manila and one

New Sports for France.

Thrilling. to say the least, If not
very sanguinary. is the latest sport
taken up by the sporting element of
France, when they pit two cocks to-
gethPr, not to see which will kill, but
to 7ce which will outcrow the other in
given time.
A cock according to the figures Of
tie sport, will crow on an average Of
go times per hour, but when trained
for competition will go well over the
hundred mark in an hour, which Is
the time set for the contests.
Competing birds are shut up in a
low dark coop and fed on millet and
chopped beef we'll saturated with wine
and beer. The lowness of the roof Of
the coop will keep the cock from
stretching his neck to crow and when
he is released for the contest he will
he all ready to make up for lost time.
Matches are made for side bets and
huge sums of money are wagered on
the results Of such contest.
