Beginning and Enq Of the Uni0erse

ming down hill, known as the second law OF
thermodynamics or the conservation OF energy
which is law in the ordinary physical world, Is
90 changed in the relativStic thermodynamlcs
that a model universe could expand and con-
tract over and over without arriving at the
point where there is no more energy to use
Painting in mathematical equations pictures
that light heat and other radiationS would now
out in space and matter would be annihilated,
lust as is the case in the actual universe; yet
these events which are usually considered quite
final and rreversible, are capable of being re-
peated again and again when viewed from the
standpoint of the relatively theory.
Able Lematre recently put forth the novel
hypothesis that the universe had its beginning
in unique atom with a mass equal to all
the mass of the universe and radius very close
to zero The whole universe would be pro-
duced by the disintegration Of this primeval
atom much as radium now disintegrates from
its radoactivity. This process would cause an
expansion of the universe.
Another possibility suggested by Sir James
Jeans Is that the universe retains its size, while
mankind and all material bodies shrink uni
formly This would account for the red SHIFT
in the Spectra of the nebuae by the fact that
the atoms that emitted the light millions OF
years ago were larger than the present day
atoms with which light is measured The end
OF the universe in this case would come when
all matter has shrunk TO nothing.

l.,
at the Old Sailors Home, high
above the great harbor. His gaze
alternated from the distant sea
. horizon to the battered dog-eared
notebook in his lap. From time to
time with affectionate care he joued down
the thoughts which his lonely communion with
the sea seemed to inspire-thoughts which later
were to be rewritten in the form OF letters
to some unknown recipient and curiously
enough to those who watched this daily routine
of the old sailor-never sent.
Alice Arno, at her typewriter in front of
the window in the executive office of the Home,
looked up now and then from her work to
observe the old captain crouched over his note
book or staring out to sea. Affection shone
in her face as she regarded him. This old
sailor in their daily chats, had become more
like a beloved parent than any one she mad
ever know in her solitary working life.
The puzzle that always presented itself when
she watched him, either on the bench or In
the writing room, occupied Ace's mind this
morning. Soon he would come in, stop for
few words and some notepaper at her desk,
90 to his table and continue his writing. Inen
he would seal the envelope and slip it in his
inside pocket. Never once had he stopped at
the hall mailbox and posted one He never
went down into town and no one called on
him. The thing had intrigued Alices fancy.
To whom were the letters written and why
were they never mailed?
Hello Capt. Daddy" she said as he came
in I'm just back this morning. Have you
missed me?" Capt Daddy was Alces special
name for him.
Deed have, Alice honey. 'Taint day Tor
me at all without that smile O. yours that's
sweet an smooth as seagulls wing. How
was the vacation, girlie?"
"Oh swell, Capt. Daddy"
did you find you a sweetheart layln TO IN
the offin' somewhere" rare smile lent charm
to the rugged features.
"You would ask me that, wouldn't you? I've
a notion to tell you to mind your own business
she mischievously replied But If you must
know-wen, I may have sample one TO snow
YOU soon-if some other aspirant doesn't beat
me to him"
