1000 NEW SUNS IN
MAKING, DISCOVERED

London. Nov. 1.-Two thousand
new suns. in the process of making,
have just been discovered and pho
tographed.
Some day they will probably de-
velop into full-grown suns, like ours,
with their own sets of planets re-
volving round them, so that there
will be two thousand new solar sys-
tens.
The discovery has been made by
Harvard University astronomers who
are carrying out obssrvations at
Arequipa, Peru. They have also
taken the photographs.
These budding suns are reported
as "nebulae," which is the astrono-
mers' name for family glowing
patches of light which are found at
enormous distances in space by
means of powerful telescopes. Sew
eral thousands have already been
mapped. Only two are visible to the
naked eye-one in the sword-handle
of Orion and the other in Androm-
eda.
The nebulae are in the form of
whirling spirals of what looks like
luminous vapour. II is supposed
that they condense. in the course of
ages. into suns, and in the process.
throw off pieces that condense more
rapidly, being smaller, and so be-
come planets. Our own solar sys-
TEN is believed to have been formed
thus.
Another discovery made at Arequi-
pa is that what is called the "Magel-
lanic cloud" is $4,000 billion miles
away from the earth. instead of only
$4,000 billion, as hitherto estimat-
ed, and that its diameter is 10000
billion miles. The distance of the
earth from the sun is a mere inch
compared to this go, 900, 900 miles.
These new discoveries and calcu
lations." said DR.. Crommelin, of
Greenwich Observatory, ''are ex-
tremely useful to us, and they help
in our great work of mapping out
the heavens.
Nearly twenty-five years ago,
Professor Holden, of the Lick OBJ
servatory. in California, estimated
that there were at least half a mill
lion uncharted nebulae to be discov-
cred. 1t will therefore be seen that
these two thousand are but frac-
ton of the number still to be locat-
ed"

WORK ON FARMS
MUCH DELAYED
Rock Island Lines First Crop Re.
port Says Continuous Rain
Hats Progress.

According to the first crop report
of the Rock Island Lines for this
season, just issued, very little pro-
gress has been made in farming
operations in northern Illinois.
Rain has been continuous the past
10 days, and additional moisture
will not be necessary until the seed
has been planted.
Winter wheat crop is about nor
NAL compared with last year. Re-
ports indicate a large crop Of grain
will be sowed, due to recent adj
vance in prices.
In central Illinois, reports show
a little increase in the acreage OF
small grains Winter wheat is do
ing nicely.
In southern and northern Iowa,
winter wheat and rye are in good
excellent color. Reports indicate
there will be a smaller acreage of
corn and an increased acreage
seeded to clover and timothy. Pre-
parations are under way for large
acreage of cabbage in the Musca-
ine-Nichols territory, and planting
started about April 1, soil condi-
tions permitting.
In eastern, northeastern and
southeastern Iowa, the soil is in
excellent condition, recent SHOWS
and rains having benefited pastures
rs well as winter wheat. Present
prospects for fruit are excellent as
well as grain crops. Farm work
should progress rapidly as soon as
the soil becomes dry enough to
work and weather conditions favor
able Tor seeding.

Wilbur r. Libby, the husband, a

the babies to be his own until the

Mrs. Libby is intelligent, has a
ready command of language and
appears well above the average in
culture and manners. She says she
has some Spanish blood in her
veins. When taken into CUSTODY

country near here where she had

II Mrs. Libby's story that she
took the children simply through a
passionate longing for the joys of
motherhood is not true, she is a
ronsummate actress. The authori-
ties claim many discrepancies in
her stories as to where the various
children she has had in her posses
sion came from and what disposi-
ton she has made of them.
