Sugar

TINE situation might be COM
l. pared to dropping lump after
lump of sugar into the same cup
of tea, Professor Jeans continues.
Finally the tea would become satu-
rated with sugar and refuse to
dissolve any more unless some al
some of the energy will crystalline
out.
1t is here that the analogy brings
a ray of hope. Perhaps as matter
continuously diSsolves into energy,
the point will be reached where
some of the energy will Crystalline
back into matter.
But Jeans tells us from his cal
culationS that the comparison of a
teacup and Jumps of sugar will not
do. The situation is more like
dropping grains Of sugar into the
Atlantic ocean.
The Atlantic ocean is space. The
grain of sugar is the visible universe.
And the question, says Jeans, is
how many grains of sugar will turn
the. Atlantic ocean sweet. That will
tell you how many universes will
have to turn to radiation to crowd
space.
Write down the figure 30 and
put forty-seven ciphers after it.
That figure, he says, represents the
number of universes which could
be turned into radiation and con-
tanned in space without overcrowd-
ing.
And so, Jeans gloomily tells us,
the universe is like clock wound
up at some time in the distant past
and now slowly running down.
Some day, perhaps in fifteen
trillion more years, it will stop
ticking.

SQUIRRELS

ONCE the stars and the sun shine
~ at the expense of their own
weight, they must grow smaller and
smaller with the passage of time.
Eventually all the lucid atoms
within them will have been turned
into radiation and dissipated into
space.
The stars and the sun will have
shrunk to l per cent their present
size, consisting of matter like that
here on earth, the by-product Of the
explosion of the lucid atoms.
When that day arrives, the stars
and the sun will have turned them
selves for the most part into waves
of energy which will go wandering
aimlesSly around and around space.
Professor j. H. Jeans, who holds
on the basis of the Einstein theory
that space is limited and curved,
pictures these waves wandering
around and around like squirrels
in cage.
This theory of a universe diSap-
pearing because matter is turned
into energy, naturally brings up the
question of whether the universe
could not reappear as the result of
energy turning back into matter.
Jeans discusses this question, but
answers it in the negative.
1T has been suggested" he writes,
that the radiation poured out from
millions of stars through MILLIONS of
millions of years ultimately may
cause space to become overcrowded
with radiation, just as cage would
become overcrowded with squirrels
if we kept putting them in and
never took any out"

Much Unknown Country
Clark county comprises 5000
square miles, only 308 of which
have been surveyed. That is an
astonishing statement made by
Doctor Thomas Saturday, and it
goes to show how much of the
territory around Las Vegas and the
dam site is virtually unknown, said
poctOr Thomas.
Prospecting around this part OF
the state has just begun, he said,
and will be carried forward in a
more scientific and thorough man
ner. New uses are being found for
non -metallics every day, and Clark
county soils, some Of which are
deficient in humuS, can be made
more fertile by modern methods,
using a compost manufactured by
the introduction of nitrofying bac-
terra into sllrry Of gypsum, which
is found in unlimited quantities
in this vicinity.
The territory hereaboutS abounds
in boraX, refractory clays, magne-
site, lime and paint pigments, al
so, which VIII draw manufacturing
of various kinds to Las Vegas.
Makes Industrial Survey
Doctor Thomas will be in this
city for several weeks making a
survey Of the district for its in
dustrial possibilities as based upon
resources indigenous to the locall-

PASSES new
MOTOR LAWS
Pink Slip Transfer and New
Certificate Bills Adopted;
Outlaw Truck Operators
Are Hit.

The recent session of the
legislature passed several mo-
tor laws which will be put in
force this year. The trucking
bill went over without much
trouble and it will result in
regulating trucking and better
licensing of a uniform nature.
It is aimed mainly at the out
law truckers who come in for
shcrt contract and escape
with the profits and pay little
CT no revenue to the county
where operating.
Ping Slip Law
The pink slip law was passed
and signed This is an adoption
CT the California law which pro-
vides that the pink slip transfer
must be made when automobiles
OF trucks are transferred from
one party to the other. The law
has been found most satisfactory
in California, especially in the
handling of second hand cars, as
it furnishes a description of the
car handled by the dealer and il
will require such a slip on every
transaction between parties taking
over automobiles or trucks.
This law was about all that came
out Of the general highway law
that was introduced at the open
ing of the session. The original
law, as framed in Reno and Of
fered was found to be too COM
phcatd in this state, in fact it was
made to fit such a state as Cali
fornia or New York. The result
was that it was never given seri-
Gus consideration during the en-
tire session and died off before
it was started through the legiS-
lative chambers.
Certificate Law
Toward the close of the session
Senator Getchell introduced anG
passed the certificate law. This
requires the certificate of owner
ship to be placed in a containel
where it is visible to the inspec-
tors.
The container is SO arranged that
to attempt to take out the GER
tificate it is destroyed, thus evil
dencing that it has been tamperec
with. The container is provided
with a heavy glass cover with the
license number blown into the
glass, MAKING what is believed tx
be one of the real safety deviSes
and one that has been adopted il
several of the states.
Objections Raised
Some objection was raised to the
signing OF the law, it being main.
tained that it would mean anothel
cost to the auto owners. 1t ha
been figured out that the cost TO
this safety plan will be about 81
cents. On the other hand the auto

MINERAL HILL
WORK PUSHED

LOS ANGELES. April 9, (By
Will c. Higgins)-Thomas j. Lynch
of San Francisco, president and
general manager Of the Manhat-
tan Gold Mines Company, writes
that work is progressing most sat
isfactCrily in the development OF
the company'S property on Min
eral Hill Manhattan, Nevada, the
home of a number of sensational
gold producers, and that work IS
being steadily advanced on the fis-
sure in which gold ore has been
uncovered ranging in value from
a few hundred to $4,000 to the
ton. The Manhattan Gold, Lynch
says. is a near neighbor of the
White Caps mine and the Nevada
Coalition.
Late reports from the mine state
the company has exposed two feet
of quartz in a Winze being sunk
from the tunnel level, this ore
showing free gold and indicating
an approach to one of the shoots
OF highgrade for which the prop
erty is famous. This gold, it is
said, occurs in white quartz, and
in fine grains so closely allied as
to make a yellow smear in its
matrix The development Of Man
haitian Gold is being watched with
much interest in western mining
circles. The company recently re-
organized its official roster, and is
said to be financed by a strong
IL, -f
Francisco capitalists. It's stock is
listed on the San Francisco Min
