would answer the question of why these
particular sun spots made our weather so
much hotter.
AS to why we could not detect the pres
ence Of these gases in the atmosphere. the
answer is that they may have collected in
the upper reaches scores Of miles above us.
And II is entirely possible that a certain
amount OF the gas did penetrate our at.
mosphere and prevent the formation of
moisture, which Is one OF the functions Of
our atmosphere. In this way both heat and
drought and be accidentally accounted
for.
Before may days have gone by we may
know exactly what the nebula has done
70 US and what we may expect Of its effects
IN the future.
The possibility of encountering a cloud
of this kind has long been accepted by
astronomical science. Some of these OBJ
jects are OF enormous-indeed, unthink.
able-vastness. The most picturesque of
them Is the gigantic nebula In the con-
stellation Andromeda. This is brilliant
one Of spiral shape and Is supposed to be
many millions OF light years away from us.
This distance can be conceived when II Is
realized that light travels $4,000 miles a
second, and that light year Is he dis
lance II would take light travelling al his
rate to reach us within year.
But the most extraordinary nebula Is one
whose rhotographing has only recp:. tly
been made possible BY the 10o.inch lens at
Mount Wilson. A picture OF II is shown

trast with that in Andromeda Seen in

What Il Is made OF no one knows Il
may be made OF dust or II may be com.
posed Of elements unknown to us. Il has
been calculated that II would take our
solar system hundred thousand years to
travel through the thinnest part.
But the black nebula whose picture is
shown is territyingly inert II lies like a
great misshapen monster crowded off in
space. Science hopes that we will never
encounter such a thing--at least rs long
az human life remains upon our planet
But II cannot predict that we will not.
II must be remember that our vision is
limited. We see objects only because we
are sensitive TO certain vibrations which
produce what we call sight. We know
that the eyes OF the birds and the animals
are equipped 70 receive vibrations above
and below our own range. and that the
camera can record vibrations OF Hight to
which our own eyes are blind

By DR.. w. H.. Ballou.

ANNOUNCEMENT has been
~ made from the Koenigstuhl
Observatory near Heidelberg,
Germany, that there is every reason N
to believe our sun and earth and our N
sister planets have been passing "
through a vast nebulous cloud. and
that to this has been due the extraor.
binary worldwide upset weather
which we have experienced all this
year.
This astonishing theory 10 supported by
certain evidence which win be considered
later. As to the upset weather, with its
worldwide heat and drought. we have evi-
dence enough. The excessively small rain.
fall in various parts OF North America We
know caused millions OF dollars worth OF
damage in the destruction of crops. The
periods of intense heat caused many deaths.
In Canada great areas OF forest, we're de-
stroyed by fires which found easy prey in
the. sun.dried foliage and underbrush.

tically no rainfall from January until Au-

Biography The light was singularly bril-.
liant and the same exposures which were
necessary for semi-tropical countries were
found also necessary during this period in
the British Isles and vicinity.
In Switzerland melting glaciers and snow
caused floods and avalanches which spread
havoc. The sides OF mountains which had
been covered for centuries with snow and
ice were exposed to the suns rays and
cracked and fen. burying whole hamiets
and sweeping away forests.

posed the very foundations OF the pre-
historic villages of lake jewellers. These
lake dwellers existed thousands Of years
ago and dwelt for safety IN the centre Ut
the lakes In buildings raised up on tree
trunks driven down into the bottom.
nj Russia drought produced famine and
were so shriveled for lack OF water that
even weeds would not grow.
For all these things science knew there
must be some reason. and scientific bodies
throughout the country have been seek
ing an explanation. M
Science knows that our sun IL what IL
called variable star-that is, II is some
times hotter and sometimes cooler. And
science knows, too, that the amount Of heat
which is received from II by our world is
powerfully affected by sun spots. These
sun spots are gigantic eruptions compsr.
able in measure to volcanic outbursts on
earth, but millions upon millions Of times
greater. The craters Of the spots are so
large. as q rule, that our world could be

miles long.
But besides they actin some fash
ion not yet clear-as gigantic dynamos
which discharge infinite swarms OF
highly electrified PARTICLES for millions
Of miles through space. II is these
particles in times of srn-spot activity
which are believed to cause the bril-
liam. auroras and the magnetic storms
which affect us. And this magnetism
has not only decided effect upon our
weather. but also upon vegetation.

LOOKS
ON CITY RACE
Hays Representative Said to
Be Taking Notes.

Jack Henley. member of the national
organization of the Republican party,
and known as the personal representative
of Postmaster General win Hays, Re
publican national chairman, has been in
Indianapolis for several days taking
stock Of the race for the Republican
nomination for mayor, presumably for
the purpose of reporting to his chief, ac-
cording to politicians today.
Mr. Henley called in leaders from the
camps of Mr.. Thomas c. Howe, former
president of Butler College; Samuel
Lewis Shank and Edward j. Robson,
discussing the situation with them with
out revealing the real intent of his visit,
it is said.
In view of the fact that the appoint
ment of a postmaster to succeed Robert
f. Springsteen has been tied up with
the mayorality race, it was generally
thought that Mr.. Henley was commits
stoned by Mr.. Hays to get a compre-
hensive view of the Indianapolis situa
tion in order that the postmastership
might be passed out with the least pos
sible harm and greatest benefit to the
political intentions of Mr. Hays

HARDING STAND
THREATENS RIFT
Insistence on Tax Action
Ahead of Tariff Peeves
Westerners.

WASHINGTON, March 1S-President
Harding's view that tax legislation should
precede revenue revision has been com
municated In a semi official way to lead
ers I'm Congress. There is every indica
ton that Harding intends to stand firm
for this course.
His stand theatens a serious break in
the Republican ranks. Western Repub-
licans are determined that revision of the
tariff should come first because OF the
serious condition confronting the farmers.
Both Senator Penrose, Pennsylvania,
chairman Of the Senate Finance Commit
tee, and Representative Fordney, head Of
the House Ways and Means Committee,
have Informed Harding that most of the
Republicans Of both committees do not
approve his view.
Efforts win be made by the President
within the next few days to win over the
leaders Of the Western Republicans in
White House conferences. These will be
held with Representatives Green. Iowa ;
Young. North Dakota; Frear. Wisconsin; !;
Hawley, Oregon; Hadley, Washington; :;

In accordance with a custom that

receipt Of the commitments Sheriff
George Snider today stated that Merle
Horton. Is, and Nicholas Lavelle, "a, each
sentenced from one to fourteen years at

reformatory.
Horton was sentenced by Judge James
A. Collins Of Criminal Court March 9
and was held here until March Il, when
he testified against Layelle. Lavelle was
sentenced March II, the records in Crimi-
nal Court show.
"Lavelle asked me last night when he
was going to be taken south and / told
him he would start the minute that I re
ceived the commitment" said Sheriff
Snider. This morning l told Lavelle and
Horton to prepare to 90 to the reforma-
tory This was at breakfast time. LaveIle
protested against being taken without

The sheriff said that he personally
could not make the trip because he had
a number of prisoners to take to the
Indiana State Farm today.
1t Is understood numerous efforts have
been made to obtain a suspended SEN
tence for Horton because he changed his
plea of not guilty to that of guilty.
Judge Collins rebuked Attorney NJ.
Alvin Ruggles, counsel for Horton, for
making an alleged statement that he had
social and political" influence with
Judge Collins to enable him to save
Horton from going TO the reformatory.
According to Judge Collins, the mo.her
of young Horton reported to the court
that Ruggles had made such a statement
to her. Ruggles denied her story.
Ruggles was compelled a few days ago
by Judge Albert Anderson of the Fed
eral Court to return fees amounting to

LESH RULES ON
BOND HEARINGS
Interprets State Tax Board
Powers Over Local
Issues.

Hearing on local bond issues. b ,ore
county councils, under provisions OF the
Johnson home rule act passed In the
special session Of the Legislature in 1920.
may be certified to the State board Of
tax commissioners for hearing under the
provisions Of the act Of the last Legis-
lature, according 10 an opinion Of Q. S.
Lesh attorney general today.
The act Of the 1921 General Assem-
bly,, which was recommended by former
Governor James P. Goodrich and Gov
ernor Warren T. McCray. gives the State
tax board appellate jurisdiction in the
matter of local bond issues
The opinion states that when proceed
ings had been begun under the provisions
of the johnson act, and where prelimi-
nary steps had been taken under that act
to issue bonds and where objections had
been filed and notice issued for a hear
ing before the county council, it would
not be necessary to start the proceed
ings all over again or to go back and
enact a new bond ordinance, but the
case may be certified directly to the
State tax board.
Mr.. Lesh's opinion expresses a doubt
whether the county council would have
authority to take any further action on
these pending proceedings, and states
that after the State board was satisfied
that the proper notice had been given.
then their hearing would provide to the
taxpayers all the protection afforded them
under the old law.
other opinions given by the attorney
general today state that cities may not
expend more than 81 200 for band music
in one year, and informs the State high
way commission that it has authority to
make a charge for examination and ap-
proval of plans, specifications and other
matters submitted TO them by the boards
of county commissioners Of the State.

NeW TGngLe Is Hinted in
StiLLm0ns' Divorce Suit
Who's Who ParentGge Charges Threaten to
InUOLUe Name of Another Woman.

NEW YORK, March 1S-Further sen
satiOnal revelations were promised today
in the divorce tGngle of James A still
man, the multi millionaire banker and
his wife, the former Eff" Potter, which
threaten to involve another beautiful
young woman in this meiodramatic mix
ture Of love, jealousy and high finance.
So far Mrs. Stillman has used only the
name Of Mrs. Florence Leeds, former
chorus girl. but there are persistent re-
ports that she may name another young
women whose beauty Is said to rival that
Of the handsome and dashing Mrs
Leeds.
Mrs StIllman's charges parallel those
Of her husband and have involved the
good name and birthright Of a second
little child. She alleges that Mr.. Stillman
Is the father Of an illegitimate child 30
months old. whose mother is Mrs. Leeds.
This accusation was in reply to Mr.. Still
mans charge that he is not the father
Of Mrs Stillmans little son Guy.
Mr.. Stlllman has not entered formal
denial of his wife's charges that he lived
with Mrs Leeds In New York City and
elsewhere. So far as known. no testi-
mOny has been taken on this point by
the referee. 1t is possible that no testi-
mony may be taken until after Justice
MOrschauSer rules on Mrs. StllImdn s mo-
ton for allmony.
The case took a new turn when it was
rumored in Wall street that Mr.. Still
man might retire from the presidency of
the National City Bank, one of the big
gest and most powerful financial insti-
tutiOns in the world. Mr.. Stillman re-
fused to see reporters. but John II. Full
ton, general executive manager of the
hank said fhnra mos M Fnnpdqf fian for
the reports Charles E. Mitchell. presi-
de:t of the National City Company, a
81 sidiary Of the bank. said there was
no truth in the rumor so far as he knew.
In the meantime Mrs. Stillman is liv-
ing IN seclusion with her little SONS. Guy
and Alexander. at Lautel-in-Pines Lake
