WHILE scientific astronomy
w may be, said to have
existed for 5000 years, only
one-tenth of that period has
been distinguished by genuinely
fruitful discoveries. We may
truthfully say that the era of
modern astronomy dates from
the famous evening in 1910
when Calico first directed his
telescope at Jupiter.
At least two thousand years
before Galileo'S day, both
Pythagoras and Philolaus had
taught that the earth is not
fixed space but rotateS on its
axis every "a hours, thus caus-
ing the phenomena of night
and day.
Nor was the annual orbital
revolution of the earth around
the sun unSuSpected in ancient
times. One Of the greatest of
Greek rnathematicians, Aristar-
chuS Of SamoS, asserted that
the earth not only turned on
its axis, but travelled in q year
entirely around the sun.
Truth In this instance had
to fight q long battle. Aristotle,
probably basing his opinion on
an exalted conception Of mans
role, placed the earth at the
center of the universe. This
view, in lack Of any proof to
the contrary, proved highly
popular and held sway for
centuries. It was highly flat
terirlg to mans sense of inn
portance in the universe to be
told that every heavenly body
revolyed. slavishly, about his
place of abode as a fixed
center.
If a man on a bicycle were to
ride around the rim Of q huge
wheel on the outside, the head
of a tack stuck in one tire Of
the bicycle would describe what
is known as an epicycle.
You could easily draw one by

Priscilla nodded. They said
their good-bys and the mother
accompanied them to the door.
Dean held her arm tightly as
they descended the uncertain

him in silence for while, then
she said, simply:

Guy lay in a still, glaring quiet.
Not a breath, not a move gave

At 2 o'clock he was in King

Dean.
The boys mother looked in

He told her how Dean had
met him at the art school at
night that was q year ago be-

looked him up and helped him.
Priscilla listened in wonder.
She knew how busy Dean was
and yet he'd had time to do all
this. She felt suddenly ashamed
Of herself.
.'I'd love to see some Of your
work." she said.
Would you-there's some
drawings on the table in the
other room: maybe you'd get

into the living room. Dean was
talking with Mrs. Stolsky. He
nodded and smiled as she told
him what she wanted.

gathered them up and carried
them into the bedroom.

AGE OF THE STARS
By Archibald Henderson, Ph. D., Ill. D.

Of a point on the rim of the
dime. BY elaborate calcula-
tions, Ptolemy showed, as he
thought, that the planets re-
volved in a complicated series
Of cycles and epicycles. The
planets, according to this
theory. in-revolved In circles
about moving prints, which
themselves revolyed in circles
around a fixed earth. These
orbits were believed to be circu-
lar in shape, because the Crea-
tor would only use the most
perfect figure, which is a circle.
This vieW,, advanced by lead
ing scientists, had the support
of the church. as well as that
of popular credulity, which
habituaHy accepts, scientific "au-
thority" in incomprehenSible
matters. The position taken by
the church was natural, il not
inevitable, for. as Jeans. says,
1T seemed almost impiouS to
suppose that the great drama
of mans fall and redemption,
IN which the Son of God had
himself taken part, could have
been enacted on any lesser
stage than the very center Of
the universe"
Yet there were not lacking
thinkers and even high church
dignitaries who entertained the
views entertained by Pytha-
goras and Philolaus centuries
earlier. 1t is indescribably
tragic that GiordanO Bruno,
only ten years before Galileo's
great discovery, should have
been burned at the stake for
entertaining such sound views
as are expressed In his famous
statement.

No knowing what reception he

He would not yield to the
crazed hope that shouted: MY

He came down and down,
swinging far out over the abyss.
AS he drove inward to the pla-
teau, a movement on the cliff
focused his attention. Some
thing moved cautiously up the

Since the first light of day,
the plane had traversed those
rocky cliffs. Their color made
q gorgeous blaze in the pilots
mind. He leaned from the
cockpit and thought with
panic: God, there's no end to
them! A thousand of these
chasms!" And in any one, q
girl and a little boy could be
eternally lost. Two months
ago a plane crashed here: not
q bone or splinter of ship or
human was yet found.
But Guy flew low, He
SKINNED the stones in a fury Of
denial that Pat would ulti-
mately elude him. She was
here. Somewhere in the vast,
1abyrinthian gorges. From here
she had called. He listened
with heart and mind and soul
as though Pats spirit would
now repeat that urgent cry
would draw him down to her.
! Hour upon hour his desperate
Cruise went on. Twice he flew
back to Kingman to refuel.
And twice he saw in the blue
distance other planes. They,
too, were searching for Pat and
the lost child. William Bryce
would make it worth the while
of any pilot who brought his
grandson back to him. Volun-
iteer ships by the score were
,lured by the, huge rewards now
posted. They sped to the can
yons when the report OF Pats
sos was flashed. The whole
bitter abyss would be combed.

Much of the time today price
changes in the wheat market here
were so swift and irregular that the

tumbled and rallied with bcWildering

with speculative operations turning
almost wholly upon assumed varying
