RADIO SENDS BURIAL SERVICE
Falls to Save Life Of Skipper
Stricken With Pneumonia.

New York.-Capt. A. Matthews of
the steamship Hatteras, bound for Bel
fast and Cardiff. was dead. -Four days
of constant exposure ON the bridge In
the gales Of the Atlantic had caused
him to succumb to pneumonia.
There was no physician aboard.
Treatment prescribed by radio from
the Red Star liner Finland had been
administered.
Later came word by radio to James
Ferrick, wireless operator Of the Presi-
dent Adams from Chief Officer George
Bandell Of the Hatteras:
captain Matthews died this morn
ing. No Bible aboard no copy Of bur
ial service. Please wireless us burial
service and prayer for the dead"
Purser w. G. Hughes Of the Presi-
dent Adams hurriedly brought copy
Of the Episcopal prayer book to Opera
tor Herrick.
Chief officer Bandell wirelessed back
at II 80 that the prayers had been re-
ceived.
Body buried at noon with usual
rites" he added.

PECULIAR ACTION OF TIDES
Scientists at q Loss to Explain Rise
and Fall of Sea Around tho
Society Islands.

The peculiarities Of the tides In the
Society group Of islands, In the South
seas, were remarked as long ago as the
days Of Captain Cook. In reality, the
rise and fall of the sea-which seldom
exceeds Is inches-can scarcely be
called tidal, for 1t is not Influenced by
the moon; high water comes invariably
at midnight and noon, and at sunset
and sunrise the water is always low,
says a writer In Harper's.
The local belief is that these So
called tides are due to wind; 1t is
true that the mornings are usually
calm and that the breeze springs up
toward midday, to die away In the
late afternoon. At IL or IL o'clock,
then, an increasing surf breaches over
the low barrier Of coral and causes
the sheltered waters Of the lagoon to
rise--a neat theory until one stops to
think that the hours about midnight
(when the tide is precisely as high as
at noon) are among the calmest of the
"a, and that the noon tide does not
fall on days of CLASSY stiffness.

JAPANESE NUPTIALS COSTLY
Even In Poorest Families Bride, Be-
sides Her rousseau, Must Provide
Household Utilities.

Osaka.--Even in the poorest families
In Japan, weddings are heavy item,
as the bride, besides her own trousseau,
is expected to supply certain house
hold utilities, such as laundry and
medical apparatus.
The League Of Women's Societies
says that 400 yen (S20O) will cover the
marriage costs, and suggests that pa
rents put aside 1 yen monthly from the
birth of girl baby, which, by the time
she reaches twenty, the manageable
age, would, with interest, amount to
AL yen.
The league estimates her trousseau,
including 10 wedding kimonos and obs
(girdles), housekeeper books, laundry
apparatus and medical apparatus, at
$40 yen. With 80 yen, plus an equal
amount from her fianee, the wedding
ceremony may be held.

Swedish Scientist Advances The

Radi0actiMty.
TELLS or SOLAR CONDITIONS
Dead Celestial Bodies May Flame UP
Again II They Wander Into Re-
oions Where Production Of
Heat Takes Place.

Stockholm.-'The sun can keep on
shining at the present rate for another
$4,000, 900 years, and If human cul-
ture Is to perish 1t will not be for
lack of sunshine" This startling and
whimsical statement was made In the
course Of recent lecture by DR..
Svante Arrhenius, the Swedish author
ity on astrophysics, in which he ex-
planned certain theories and discov-
cries regarding solar conditions.
Suppose the sun were mass Of
coal" said Doctor Arrhehius, in order
TO illus rate his problem. Giving forth
heat energy at the present rate, 1t
would then have lasted only 1000
years, or about half as long as the
period of known human history. But
since there were living things Of some
kind on earth at least 1,000,000,000
years ago, and since there has evil
IDENTIFY been very little deterioration of
the sun during that period Of time, any
theory of the expenditure Of solar en-
ergy must provide for upward of 100,-
0O00OO,0O0 years."
His Theory of Light.
Though it Is difficult to interpret Doc
tor Arrhenius in popular language, 1t
may be Of interest to state his gen
eral theory. Heavenly bodies begin as
cold nebulous masses of hydrogen,
helium and the so-called nebulium.
Light then arises through radioactivity.
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 abundant of which is iron.
After this. stage has been passed,
the radioactive elements again resolve
themselves into unstable elements and
produce helium. This chemical process,
going on in cycles, accounts for the
lavish production Of light and heat by
the sun.
What becomes of dead suns and
stars? Doctor Arrhenius replied to
this question that celestial bodies which
have burned out 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 discover
les of new stars.
Doctor Arrhenius paid a tribute t
the successful work of American as
tronomers, remarking wistfully that, II
addition to bright skies, they are also
favored by ample funds for research
and experiment.

SAVED FROM JUNK PILE
Famous Old Square Bigger, Clio.
ria, Gets Stay of Execution.
Once Queen of the American Merchant
Marine and Holder of Scores Of
Sailing Records in Every
Ocean.

Seattle, Wash.-Memories of the
golden days of the clipper ship era stir
ring the hearts of Boston men have
the famous old square-rigger Gloria of
the seas, once queen Of the American
merchant marine and holder of scores
of sailing records in every ocean.
Condemned to the funeral grounds
for the copper and iron In her hull,
the Glory, as she is affectionately
known by many sailor throughout the
ports Of the seven seas, was being
towed down from Puget sound to be
beached when telegram was received
from Boston asking a reprieve. The
Boston men plan to tow the old ship to
Boston to rig her as she was in her
heyday and moor her in Boston harbor
as q monument to the American sail
ing ship. now fast vanishing before the
encroachment Of the faster bur less
romantic steamers and motor cargo
carriers.
The Glory, built In East Boston in
1869, was the last masterpiece of Don
aid Mckay, premier American builder
Of the clipper ship age. In the early
part of her career she made remark
able passages between New York and
San Francisco and between East coast
ports and Europe. Later, with the
rapid development of ship construction,
she fell upon evil days and became a
coal and cargo barge. A few years ago
the gallant old square rigger was con-
verted into floating fish refrigeration
plant and warehouse, and early last
year was sold as junk.
Shipping men who inspected the old
vessel said her hull today was as sound
as when she slid down the ways 59
years ago.
