Will be collected since that date.
sAcrording TO the law. those earning
Over 900 pesos per year viii have 10

scratch he would not have con-
tracted blood poisoning. If he
had used the good old bean and
refused to sign that note, he
would not have been forced to
make 1t good. If he had had
the land in the south pasture
analysed by the land experts he
would have known it was too
damp and heavy for the crop he
sowed and he'd have saved his
time and money. Finally, having
proved to his own satisfaction
that he's a dub at farming, he
would have gone back to the job
that DOES FIT him.
IT'S A WISE BRAIN THAT
KNOWS HOW AND WHEN TO
ACKNOWLEDGE FAILURE.
There were plain ways of avoid
ing all these troubles. If any
thing is God-given, then God
gave him sense and opportunities
to avoid these ills. But Pa Hop
kins didn't protect himself-and
now you want him to pass the
buck. / don't agree with you, lady.
God surely never meant us to
be miserable and discouraged,
sick and sore and desperate. The
great Life Force wants strength
and health and happiness. not
weakness and grief. And we
have the wherewithal to produce
health and happiness. Only we've
muddled everything. We've made
a social discord and domestic
strife in place of universal
harmony. And then, instead Of
putting the blame where we
should and swapping out of it, we
lie down and saw it is the Will
of God.
It's nothing of the sort.
It's our miserable alibi for our
own laziness. cowardice and stu
pidity. Maybe we couldn't help
meeting up with difficulty, but
nine times out Of ten we could
have helped turning that diff
ficulty into misfortune. We
could have been SCRAPPERS
instead of SAPS.

Next the grain in the south

And on top of that Mrs. Hop

note that Pa had signed for and
Pa had to make good.
So Pa wants to sell the farm

he never was cut out for a

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS ABOUT
SATURN'S RINGS

that the rings OF Saturn are not
solid sheets" but rather reSeHn-
BILE swartns of meteors or even
circular clouds composed OF dust
or fine particles.
First, it has been demonstrated
mathematically that neither solid
nor liquid rings could occupy the
place OF Saturn's rings without
being broken UP and spread into
flock Of separate particles.
What mysterious force" you
may ask, would produce that eff
fect?" Tidal force would do it.
1t is a remarkable fact that ceIes-
tia1 bodies cannot approach too
close together without danger OF
tearing one another to pieces.
Their tidal attraction becomes as
perilous as dynamite.
To understand this we must
consider what tidal attraction
means. It is the difference be-
tween the gravitational pull OF
one globe upon the nearer and
farther sides Of another globe,
compared with the pull upon the
center. It's effect is to stretch
the attracted globe out in the
line Of attraction. This effect,
combined with the motion OF the
two bodies around their center
of gravity and around their axes,
one Of them, or Of both in some
circumstances. According to the
planetesimal theory, great suns
have thus been partially disrupted
by the passage near by OF an
other great sun, with the result
ant creation Of a system Of sur
rounding planets from the scat
tered fragments.
A solid ring surrounding
planet would be broken up by
this force no less than a satel-
lite of any considerable size
would be- If we can suppose q
satellite first formed at such
distance that the tidal force was
insufficient to disrupt it, and
then brought nearer, 1t would
reach point, known as "Roche's
limit" where the force would be-
come disruptive, and there the
satellite would be broken and
scattered into a ring Of discrete
particles.
This dead line" for satellites
is alphabetically situated at
distance from the center of the
planet equal to about "a times
it's radius. Applied to the earth
this would indicate that II the
moon were to approach within
$1,000 miles of the earth's center,
it would be disrupted and per-
haps spread out into a ring or
small particles.
Saturn's Rings
Saturn and Jupiter each has a
satellite quite near the limit.
With Saturn it is the small satel-
lite Mimas. which is distant 81
times the planets radius. With
Jupiter it is Barnard's satellite,
much smaller than Mimas, perhaps
less than 100 miles in diameter,
and significantly situated barely
outside the limit.
The second way in which as
tronomers arrive at the conclu'
sion that Saturn's rings are lot
solid is by means of spectroEcopic
observations. The rings are pre-
scented more or less edgewise to-
ward the earth, so that, as they
revolve around Saturn, one side
of them is approaching us while
the opposite side is retreating.
In consequence the spectral lines
in their light are shifted in oppo-
site directions, according as the
light comes from the approach
ing or receding part of the rings.
This, test of the motion of a
luminous body Is so delicate that
by the mount of the shift Of the
lines the rate of speed can be de.
