they devote to their new offspring's
welfare. Penguin chicks, like human
infants. are helpless for at least that
long. Some species have even de-
veloped communal care of the young.
They are highly gregarious and
regimented in their native haunts.
Hence the photographs of antarctic
landscapes commonly showing long,
regular files of penguins standing at
attention like Nazi storm troops. The
penguins are peculiarly lonely when
brought north in mere pairs, as they
have no racial cousins among other
birds. They're alone in their class.

sun might burst into abnormal heat ;
the moon might break up by coming
too close to the earth and having
gravity tear both apart; another star
might come too close to us, thus
dragging the earth away from the sun

In THE Planetarium at the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History,
we recently demonstrated four
ways in which the world might
possibly come to an end. One of them
showed how collision with big
enough comet might annihilate the
earth. Such an occurrence is pure
theory. of course, but nevertheless it
is an astronomical possibility, al
though not probability.
While that demonstration was going
on - actually on October 3O-a
small planet or asteroid named the
Object Reinmuth passed unusually
close to the earth - that is. it was
only 1862, 300 miles away. That didn't
bother me but it seems to have been
too close for some people.
The Object Reinmuth is about
mile in diameter and may weigh a
billion tons. No observations have
been made lately and it seems to have
been lost in space.
If it had hit the earth - New York,
for instance - it would have been

The biggest meteorite that is known
to have hit the earth landed in Ari-
zona in prehistoric times. That made
a crater a mile in diameter and six
hundred feet deep. 1t must have come
in at sharp angle. The hole is prob
ably due to an explosion caused by
steam, which bounced out the meteor
ite and destroyed it, since only pieces
have been found.
On June 80. 1908, one fell in Siberia.

The K. of L. quintet will stack up against Its sternest opposition of the season at St. Joseph's hall to- night when 1t attempts to notch its fifth straight victory and eighth straight on its home surface. The Clavor All-Stars, Negro Catholic champions from New York, will be the party of the second part and, if the exhibition they gave in their first appearance against the Liths two months ago is 8 criterion, the fans will be treated to a contest they will long remember.
 Showing skilled array of hoop sters who can perform amazing bits of court magic with the leather, the All-Stars overcame first half lead to trounce the Liths handily in their first meeting in seemingly effort less fashion.
 The Knights, on the other hand, believe that with Matty Sheehan now in their lineup, they will be able to counter with some fancy business of their own and figure they stand an even chance of up- setting the formidable visitors.
