MONGOL GIRL
NO BOASTER
AS BRIDE

TN THE old days when a Mon
gol girl was idly wandering
somewhere near her home she
might suddenly have found herself
swept up by a stalwart arm, de-
posted on a saddle in front Of
man she had never seen before
and carried away to become his
wife.
Today, while the vast Mongo-
liam country, with it's more than
one and one-third million square
miles Of land, is much the same
as it was in centuries past, mar
riage by capture is not the rule,
but many of its customs survive.
For instance, q Mongol girl OF
good family now knows that she
is to be wed long before the day
Of her marriage to the man Of her
choice has been set by her father,
but she must not let anyone know
that she knows. Though she Is
sewing on her own wedding gown
she must pretend she doesn't know
for what 1t is to be used. Even
when the provisions for the ban
quet to be served at her wedding
are being brought into the tent
yes. even while the guests are ar
riving-she must act as though
she did not see them.
It Is only when the bridegroom
rides up to her fathers tent, ac-
companied by his men friends,
every one OF whom is armed, that
she Is permitted by custom to
give the faintest sign that she un-
derstands what 1t Is all about. At
the br1degroom's call the girls
rather hurries to the door and
demands to be told what Is
wanted. A fight starts as the
bridegroom and his friends try to
force their way in. Great care is
taken that no one Is hurt, but
thus are old customs preserved.
The arrival Of the bridegroom
Is timed by the stars. For days
the star -gaZers have been search
Ing the heavens and their books
to determine the lucky minute he
shall arrive, At the appointed
second the bridegroom and the
bride are married by the simple
process Of the signing OF a brief
contract between the two fami-
lies. Then comes the lucky SEQ
ond when the bride is carried to
her new home by her bridegroom.
OFF she rides with her hands
hiding her face-though smiles
may wreathe ito the tent OF
her bridegroom, Hereafter, this
will be her home. though 1t is
moved all over the great Mon
golian plain following the flocks
and herds of her husband.

GARRETT P. SERVISS ON
ASTEROIDS
BY Garrett P. Seryiss.
Celebrated Scientist Discusses Most Interesting
Subject


/: mind of the reader. First, he may
ask how the attraction Of Jupiter
could prevent the union of the
parts, or particles. Of the original
ring into a single planet. Look at
the diagram, which shows Jupiter
and the parts nearest to him Of the
original ring Of matter from which
the asteroids are supposed to have
been found. Observe that the par
ticles constituting the ring are all
together revolving around the sun
in the direction indicated. Jupiter,
too, is revolving around the sun,
but much more slowly, owing to
his greater distance.
AS the particles pass Jupiter
the erect OF his attraction upon
them indicated by arrows, in.
creases as they get nearer. The
velocity OF the particles around
Is increased by Jupiter's pull,
and consequently they move far
ther away from the sun, taking
up q larger orbit.
On the contrary, the particles
around &C" have their velocity
slowed Up by the backward null
or Jupiter, and accordingly they
drop nearer to the sun, and take
up a smaller orbit. Jupiter's at.
traction upon the particles is
greatest at 3D." but there n
tends neither to increase or de.
crease their velocity.
The distance between Jubiter
and the ring is always too great
to permit Jupiter to do more than
vary the velocity of the particles:
he cannot take them away from
the suns control, but by his vary.
ing action upon their movements
he prevents them from regularly
condenstng under the effects Of
their mutual gravitation and thus
arranging themselves into q single
great planet.
Instead, many centers OF con.
densatlon are created over a CON
siderable range of distance rron,
the sun, and these centera becoma
the asteroids.
The other theory Is inconsist.

ing that after the first explosion

for the existence of a complicated

Famous Astronomer and Writer
on Scientific Topics Of
Popular Interest.
"It will be, I'm sure, Of in
terest to all readers, as 1t will
be to the writer, to know the
theories concerning the exist
ence Of SO many asteroids be-
tween the orbits Of Mars and
Jupiter. Are they believed to
have been created in the same
manner as the planets, or are
they the result of some cata-
clysm which destroyed q large
planet at some early period Of
it's existence? Their alleged ir-
regular shapes might indicate
that.-A. ]. M, Chicago"
DO not think that the theo-
rtes about the asteroids can
be more succinctly and clear
ly summed up than in the fol-
lowing words of Prof. c. A.
Young, who, while always exact
in his knowledge, and scientific
In his statements, was never un-
mindful Of the layman's point Of
view. He wrote in his Manual
OF Astronomy" as revised some
ten years ago. and no ESSENTIAL
change is required now:
Originals to this we can
only speculate. It is hardly pos
sible to doubt that this swarm Of
little rocks in some way repre-
sents a single planet of the ter
restrial group.
"A generally accepted view is
that the material, which, ao-
cord1ng to the nebular hypothe.

tinuous or Of separate pieces

whose powerful attraction is sup
posed to have disintegrated the
ring. or at least prevented the

thus stopped the development Of

must have been not one but many
