despite full time career in surgery, be-

any medical formula and may survive even

Doctor Nix's book is no pretty paiavar

time in the total life span Of the Earth.
And finally-even If the Earth did not get
closer or farther from the Sun collision
of our galaxy with a great nebula might
merely turn the Earth bit on it's axis.
However small this change of tilt, it would
change all the seasons of the year.
If the earthly tilt were changed enough
10 make the Earth's axis Just al right angles
TO our direction from the sun, then all sea
sons would vanish. Every spot on the Earth
would keep the same season the year round.
The tropics would always be hot and the
poles would always be very cold Places like
New York St. Louis or San Francisco WOULD
always have Spring or Fall weather
II the Earths tilt were changed so that
the axis Of the Earth pointed directly at the
Sun then the north polar regions and that
upper half of the world, would always have
"a hours sunlight each day and the intense
heat of perpetual, direct sunlight.
The other end the south pole would ever
be in perpetual blackness and the cold on
that end of the Earth would become so
great that no one would want TO live in it.
All the peoples of the world would try
10 live at about where the equator now is
for there the sunlight would be less direct
and appear just over the horizon. There
man would look at a perpetual sunset Only
there would be no sunset, unless one ventured
down below the equator and got on the cold
side Of the Earth
All the vegetation Of the world would be
altered by this picture. The north polar
regions would be torrid and arid without hui
man life or vegetation, something like the
Sahara Desert. Then about the latitude of
the St Lawrence River. human and animal
life would begin and tropical heat and tropi-

cal forests would come into existence Next
at the latitude OF New York perhaps would
come cooler climate pretty much as it is
now in the Fall or Summer
As one nearcd the equator on this strange
Earth the chill would grow greater for tho
slanting sunlight would be like those which
Norway and Sweden now have in present
Winters The tropical forests would lone
since have given way TO what call north
ern vegetation. the pine trees and evergrecns
that can withstand the rgors Of the cold
And at what is the equator would come
the frontiers Of human civilization.
Finally-just below the equator would be
perpetual night
But all these dire things which might
happen to the Earth If it coldcd with
nebula are extremely remote, although they
very well may occur.
The new-found nebula is coming at the
Earth with a speed Of 33s 900 miles an hour
according TO calculations at Mt Wilson based
on studies Of Dopper effect the shifting OF
spectral lines toward the ultraviolet end of
the spectrum of light coming from the nebula
And scientists say the nebula is over 10
600 light years away from the Earth All
this means that IT VIII take something like
10000 900 years for the two TO come to-
gether in a direct hit
Periods like hundred millions years seem
long to people like us who live only three
score years and ten, if we are lucky, but ~
the vast history of the Earth 100 900 600 years
is only a few days in the worlds life span.
Very possibly if a collision did occur all
animal life on the Earth would be killed
or at least changed that present day
scientists would not recognize it. But. through
the countless ages that lie ahead would come
new living things as slowly but surely Nature
fumblcd with various experiments in animal
and vegetable life.
Similar fumbling and hating experiments
by Nature have come before our present time
The vanished gigantic dinosaurs are only one
example among many.
Give the Earth another billion years and
she will probably evolve some new race Of liv-
ing things which may may not be like man
But If they have anything approaching what
we now call human intelligence they may be
able TO read our records and then look back
and say:
What an ingenious race Of creatures But
how stupid and primitive They learned how
to do wondrous things-tak through space.

- USHING at the Earth with the speed of
~ 300000000 miles each year more than
~ three times the distance between the
Sun and the Earth-is the closest nebula ever
discovered in the history Of astronomy. This
celestial missile" was reported by Or Paul w
Merrill of Mt. Wilson Observatory to the AS
Economical Society of the Pacific
Three gases common to the Earth-hydro-
gen, oxygen and helium- have already been
discovered in il by the spectroscope Of
science and the presence of these vapors
raises, anew, that ever-baffng question of
what our world would be like If it passed
through one of these astronomical fiery fogs
Of space
Perhaps dis in the world which II c. Wells
pictured in his famous story In the Days of
the Comet the gases of the nebula would
produce strange things on the Earth
Wells had green comet vapors sweeping
over the world which surprisingly turned all
evil instincts into well-being and a love Of
humanity.
A hypothetical war between Germany
and England chow prophetic Wells turned
out TO be-, abandoned after this hypo-
thetical comet swept the Earth in 1906
Even the love leaousics OF little personal
lives were annuIed and people learned to
live with one another in the spirit of the
Golden Rule
Capital and Labor learned 10 settle their
differences Strikes ceased and there was
no exploitation of humble workers. Inter-
national business rivalry and the dump
ing" of commodities vanished and peace
really came to the Earth as forecast in the
Biblical prophecy of the Apocalypse In
Wells story the day Of the Millennium really
arrived with The Green vapors that subtly
changed the chemistry Of human mentality.
Many people feel that if this could be the
effect Of the collision Of the Earth and
comet or with some nebula like the new
found one. il would be the best thing that
could happen 10 the world.
Some years ago Prof Garrett p Servss
distinguished astronomer. described for The
American Weekly how collision between a
spiral nebula and our Sun and its planets
could fulfill the Biblical prophecy Of the
Apocalypse.
The diagram shown on this page shows
how " would work As the sun and the
Earth rushed into tho outer swirls of the nc

Eventually the Sun and the Earth would
be consumed from the terrific heat Such
was the hypothesis of Prof Serviss written
over twenty years ago.
In the light Of recent discovery modern
astronomers are not so willing TO agree that
Wells comet vapors or the nebular gases
would have much OF an effect beneficial or
otherwise upon the Earth. The gas called
nebulium" which was unidentified in Prof.
Serviss day is now known to be only an onized
form Of oxygen, made Of oxygen atoms with
some Of the electrons stripped off the outside
Nebulium is not mystery today as it was
some years ago.
Nevertheless. what would really happen is
anybodys guess.
That the world would, however, be pro-
foundly affected by collision with a nebula,
all scientists agree Only the collision would
most probably not be a direct hit the word
collision ordinarily denotes
Rather as the great mass Of the nebula
approached nearer and nearer TO the Earth
and Sun. like a vast misty orb Of fire hurled
by the Hand Of the Creator its Cravitational
