YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE

It was fitting indeed that Presi- dent Coolidge should visit and en- joy Yellowstone National park, one of the worlds wonderlands. It was no new thing for presidents to do 50, he being the fifth to have enter ed the portals of this great portray al of nature in many moods. No other president, however, ever gave the park more thorough visit. Considering that the park proper is two-thirds the size of Connecticut, 1t requires time and energy to cover the ground thoroughly, and most tourists do little better than scratch the surface. Adding the forest re- serve lying on the southern and eastern boundaries of the park the governments playground is more than the size of Connecticut; but the forest reserves are not generally visited by tourists, although four fifths of the park is covered with forests of lodge-pole pine. balsam spruce and the noble Douglas fir

Of late this ad- vice has been more generally fol- lowed than at an earlier day, due to the convenience Of automobling 10 the park from long distances at ht- tie expense, and the availability of splendid motor roads through the park. The geyser region, the innum- erable hot springs, the wonder re- zion or lakes, mountains and can yons, have become imbedded in the memories of thousands of citizens.

THE UNIVERSAL TOPIC

What h the universal topic, 1t might be asked. It qualities as one of the ''ask me another" things. or one of the posers in a fool intelli- gence test. You've guessed it-may- be. It is the weather.
 "Coldest August in 24 years that is the report from the weather headquarters Of New England; from the meteorological sharks who, though they do not make" the weather, are instrumental in tabu- lating 1t.
 The record and statistics being 1 what they are. one naturally is justified in talking and writing about the subject. Its been a fine winter all summer.
 August has been a month in which wooden sweaters, light overcoats, rain coats. rubbers, fall hats and umbrellas have been at least as common as straw hats and palm beach raiment. How the girls, garb- ed in four ounces of fluffery, have been able to survive without con- tracting double pneumonia, is one of the mysteries of the year.
 This is free country and hope still springs eternal. Consequently, to hope that September will show a better or more normal record, is as natural as feeling chilly in August. And there is that famed New England Indian summer in the offing. Is that going to turn into an Eskimo summer?

AN EXPLODING SUN

Tt is true" remarks a scientist, that stars explode, and there is no reason why the sun should be an exception. There is no proof that it will happen tomorrow or a million years from now"
 This is a free country and anyone can get nervous about the prospect An explosion of the sun would find us all dead within 13s hours, by which time the burning gases would reach the earth, we are told. As the sound of such an explosion, if it could possibly travel the 93,000,- 900 miles of space between the earth and the sun, would take IA years to travel the distance, it can be sur missed that the burning gases would travel quite "restrictively," as a pair of colored comedians had it.
 The suns surface, however, being 12,000 times that of the earth, and it's volume mere 1,30o,Oo0 times that of this planet, an explosion of cur stellar luminary would be quite {, flash. One such star, it is related, exploded in space few weeks ago; and when we read the statement of the wise watchers of the heavens we could not help wondering whether some satellite worlds trailing with it, developed perhaps like our own, suffered extinction. It may be good for us that We do not know too much of such happenings: there Is at least less to worry about.
 At first the scientific view was that suns sometimes collide. There is enormous space in the neither regions, but once in long while two suns contest the same lane and a celestial blowout occurs. Another belief, developed later, was that stars sometimes ran head on into a nebula. Some fthese nebulae have been resolved into star clusters by the most powerful telescopes. and 1t requires no super developed imag- ination to realize what would hap pen if the solar system of which we are distinguished parts were to plunge into one of the things. Those nebulae which are not star clusters are cloudy masses of luminous gas, and there are about 10000 of them known. Imagine the solar system pumping into fields of luminous gas!
 This sun exploding theory is the worst jolt from science that has been experienced since man became wise enough to realize the world
 
 a sun-star which exploded some time ago. It increased it's intensity 10000 times at explosive speed. If such a sorry spectacle should hap pen on our sun it's diameter of S66. 800 miles would be increased to 34,66o, 900 miles, half of which would be projected toward the earth: the other half in the other direction, of course. The surface of this hot mass-compared with which out hottest furnaces would be like polar ice caps-would he practically that much nearer the earth-not to mention the gases. which as previ- ously alluded to. would envelop up.
 More figures could be mentioned, but these are enough to create all the uneasiness We care to create. The best plan is not 10 worry. If the sun does happen 10 explode some dismal day nobody will have opportunity to regret the occurrence for long. The newspaper will have time to get out few extra editions but readers may not have time to read them,
