Just Emerging

OOhlNG to the future, Or.
II Stetson writes, "geologists tell
us that the earth at present an
pears to be emerging from the last
glacial epoch and that balmier
climates are in store.
I'VE might interpret this astro-
nomically by supposing that we are
now emerging from the last en-
counter with any cosnic cloud of
appreciable density and perhaps
just are clearing the outer reaches
of an attenuated region.
What lies ahead and how soon
the sun again may engulf us in
an introSpacial fog only magma
ton can venture to speculate"
DR.. StetSon assemblies evidence to
prove his contention that the solar
system now is probably on the out
skirts Of a cosmic cloud or diffuse
nebula.
IF the solar system were in the
edge of such cloud, however
tenuous, we should expect to see
some Of it Illuminated in the I'M
mediate vicinity of the sun when
ever the direct sunlight was OBJ
scured, as in the case Of a solar
eclipse" he writes.
1T seems reasonable to suppose
that this may account for a large
part of the coronal illumination.
especially as regards the outer
corona.
I'm place of the structural de-
tails of the corona being produced
by the particular way in which
matter is thrown out of the sun.
we should have on this hypothesis
the material particles already exist
ing about the sun and their visi-
bility brought about by the stream
ing Of electrons along paths more
or less definitely defined by the
suns electric and magnetic fields"

Glacial Age of Past May
Hare Been Caused by Great
Film IN Space.
A COSMIC cloud, a great film OF
L n nebulous material in space.
may have caused the glacial ages
Of the past.
This theory is set forward by DR..
Harlan True Stetson, director of
Perkins observatory, Ohio Wesleyan
university. DR.. StetSon discusses
the subject in one chapter of mis-
new book, Man and the Stars.
(Whittlesey House publishes it at
$3.50. This writer recommends it
as an excellent summary of modern
astronomical views, written so that
the layman can understand it,
StetSon tells how when Herschel
first examined certain parts of the
Milky Way and noticed blank spots,
he thought they were holes in the
galaxy, tunnels, as it we're. extend
ing through the Milky Way INTO
the depths of space.
Barnard, however, about a decade
ago, proved by his work at the
Yerkes observatory. that these dark
spots really were clouds of obscur-
ing material.
To-day the existence of large OBJ
scuring masses in the Milky Way,
and the existence of dark matter
bordering many diffuse luminous
nebulae scarcely is doubted" he
writes. "Other galaxieS. such as
the great nebula in Andromeda, re-
veal vast stretches of dark matter
entangled in th1ir spiral whirls, en-
quilting stars and obscuring them"

THRONIC Inflammation of the
~ joints has been found in the
skeletons of reptiles that lived long
before the days of man.
The tissue of the cave bear and
saber- toothed tiger show the marks
of this infection. 1t was as preva-
lent in the prehistoric jewellers of
upper Egypt as among the first in
habitantS of Great Britain.
1t represents today one of the
most serious of the complaints that
attack human beings and which sci
ence is as yet resisting with but in
different success. The number of
deaths attributed to rheumatic dis
eases and their complications rises
steadily.

during floods; droughts, and the
like, when the government and the
people needed help?
The railroads build their own
tracks to operate on and buv THAR
rights of way and pay big taxes
to states and counties while the
people ride the buses with one man
operating them. The cost of re-
pairing an engine every five years
would buy feet of buses, and
pays living wages to the men re-
pairing them, who have spent years
learning the business.
The railroad freight rates are
based on the living salaries of the
men who support the merchants of
the town in which they work.
Let the people Of the country
wake up and support the industries
that support them, and quit paying
for a roadbed for the buses to
operate on and get rich and throw
thousands Of men out of work.
The railroads pay good wages. Do
the bus lines? In all fairness, sup
port the thing that supports you.

and not backward.
We build and maintain our
streets. We turn them over to all
who may want to use them, street
cars, buses, trucks, etc. Why not
put them to use TO some extent for
ourselves?
The trend of the times surely is
pointing in the direction of less
utility operation and more public.
