Years, They Declare

Stockholm, Dec. S0.--"Tho sun
can keep on shining at the pres
ent rate for another S6,000,O00.-
600 years, and If human culture
is to perish it will not be for lack
of sunshine" This startling and
whimsical statement was made in
the course of a recent lecture by
DIR. Svante Arrhenius, the Swed-
ish authority on astrophysics, in
which he explained certain the
ories and discoveries regarding
solar conditions.

HOUSE MAINTAINS ITS
RECORD FOR SPEED

Washington, Dec, S0.--Maintain-
ing its record for speed, the house
today took up and completed con-
sideration of the postoffice appro-
priation bill, carrying $5S4,614,-
900. Immediately after the holi-
day recess the house will vote on
supply measures carrying nearly a
billion dollars, all of which have
been sent through the fire of de-
bate and amendment in eight
working days,
The bills awaiting final passage
are the agricultural, carrying
$68, ,000,000; the interior, carrying
1924. GOO, 900 and the postoffice bill,
which went through today virtual
ly as the committee reported it.
Several members today urged
the necessity for added appropria-
tions to develop night flying in the
mail service, but no serious efforts
were made to amend the bill in
that particular. Chairman Steener-
son, of the postoffice committee
tried to increase the allotments
for third class postmasters, but he
was unsuccessful.
During debate, Chairman Mad
den said a prospective surplus OF
a million dollars for the postoffice
department was in prospect within
the next two years, the deficiency
for the past year having been cut
to $31 100000.

expenditure of solar energy must
provide for upwards Of one hun
dred billion years"
Though it is difficult to inter-
pret DR. Arrhenius in popular
language, it may be Of interest
to state his general theory. Heav-
emily bodies begin as cold nebu-
lous masses of hydrogen, helium
and the so-called nebulium. Light
then arises through radioaetiv-
ity. The hydrogen Is condensed
to form the other two elements,
helium and nebulium, and from
these develop a whole series Of
heavier elements. the most ab1n-
dant of which is iron. After this
stage has been passed, the ra-
dioactive elements again resolve
themselves into unstable elements
and produce helium. This chem
ical process. going on in cycles,
accounts for the lavish produc-
ton of light and heat by the
sun.
What becomes of dead suns
and stars? DR.. Arrhenius re-
piled to this question that eel s.
tial bodies which have burned tut
may flame up again in case they
happen to wander into nebulous
regions where condensation and
production of heat again takes
place. Thus he explained the dis
coveries of new stars which are
frequently announced by astron-
omers.
DR.. Arrhenius paid a tribute to
the successful work of American
astronomers, remarkinG wistfully
that, In addition TO bright skies,
they are also favored by ample
funds for research and expert
ment.

Of the public in that en-

From the beginning we
have endeavored to gain
this public confidence by
always giving the public
highest values for their
money.
Uniformly good values
through twenty years Of
service to the public have
inspired complete public
confidence in us, and be-

we have grown from one
