ASTRONOMER SEES
 USE FOR PLANETS
Says NeWton's Law Used by All Engineers Was Result Of Study

Cleveland, O., March 15.-UP)- world hail the discovery of the ninth planet by the Lowell observatory astronomers as the greatest scientific discovery of the century, practical men will ask, What practical re- suits will come from it?"
 A nasty but unfair answer would be 'nonc,' though it is perfectly true that no one wiIl-for the present at least-earn more money or live ar easier life by virtue of it's discovery
 The importance of the discovery is that it confirms our astronomical theories, and as a result, all of our scientific theories.
 Physically we are pinned down to this little earth. We study the dis tant planets and stars through tele- scopes. AS result of those studies, we have formulated certain theories about the motions of the solar sys- tenn.
 Proves Theories
 When an astronomer by calcula- tions can predict the existence Of another planet and subsequent ob- scrvations verify that existence, we have a marvellous proof of the cor rCctneSs Of our astronomical theories
 That perhaps is the chief value of the new discovery aside from the fact that it satisfies our curiosity by giving us more exact information Of the solar system in which We live.
 But let no one be too nasty in thinking no practical results may come from this discovery.
 Early in the 17th century, Ger man astronomer, Kepler. formulated q series of laws to explain the mo- tions of the planets then known. Later, the study of these laws led Calico to formulate his general laws of motion which were later re. stated by Newton and are now known as Ncwtons laws of motion.
 Every machine in existence, every engine, every locomotive, every auto, every electric motor is possible only because engineers have been able to apply Newton's laws of mo- ton to their design.
 Without an understanding Of these laws. the whole modern science of engineering would be inn possible.
 These ,aws. as just explained, had their beginnings in the study of the 1 heavens. Only time will tell what new un- derstanding of the fundamental laws of the universe and what practical application of that new understand ing will result from a study of the new planet.
