a powder. 1t is easier to make
calculations about electricity
than about electrons.
And although it gradually be-
came clear that liquids and gases
consist of molecules in rapid mo-
ton, these particles are so small
that we can often forget their
existence.
In fact the mathematics of con
tinuous change was so fully de-
veloped that when it ceased TO
work some mathematicians
thought that nature was no
longer behaving naturally. and
took refuge in idealism.
Lyell was substantially correct.
All geological events can be ex-
planned by processes of the sort
which we see at work today.
But the present time is not
typical.
THE surface features of the
earth are now known TO be due
to a series of revolutions in
which mountain ranges were
raised up, separated by long,
quiet periods.
We are somewhere near the
end of a revolution which pro-
duced the Himalayas, the Alps.
the Rockies, and the Andes.
Mountain building is still going
on to some extent, especially in
Japan, the Philippines, and Java.
The last revolution before our
own was the Hercynian revolu-
ton, soon after coal was formed,
which produced, among other
things, the mountains of Czecho-
slovakia, the Scottish midland
volcanoes, such as Arthur's Seat,
and part of the Appalachians.
BETWEEN revolutions h e
earth is quiet, and mountain
ranges are worn down to form
beds of rock which are folded
into new mountains in the next
revolution.
Our own time is also much
colder than the average We are
just recovering from one ice age,
and may have another.
Ice caps and Antartics are
quite unusual in geological his
tory. England has generally been
warm enough to harbour such
animals as the hippopotamus
and Greenland has usually been
green.

THE HEADLINES

newspapers are filled each day
with details of the much herald
ed partition or fedora t n
schemes proposed by the Anglo
American Cabinet Committee.
Plans for partition are of
course nothing new. Much was
heard of this scheme back In
1887, when the Royal Commits
ssion proposed that Palestine be
divided into three separate parts
"a Jewish State, an Arab State
and British sector between the
two.
The Commission indicated what
the real meaning of partition
would mean, when it stated in it's
summary:
1.-THE problem cannot be solved
by giving either the Arabs or the
Jews all they want. The answer
to the question which of them

quickly, and some, but not all, OF
its important steps did happen
quickly Some even happened in
simultaneously.
For example, almost every ami
NAL species has a fixed number
OF chromosomes, which can be
seen with a miscroscope when
ever cell divides. Thus men,
along with all the apes and mon.
keys of the old world, have 48.
while some South American mon
keys have 81.
A chromosome is not lost or
gained in small steps. like a fin
ger. Such changes have always
been rapid, though in very few
species the number is variable,
so that apparently they have
been caught in the process of
changing.
FINALLY, in plants it is GER
tain that new species can arise
by hybridization, though this IS
doubtful in animals. In tact Oar.
win underestimated the maxi
mum speed of evolution. though
he was quite right about its av
erage speed.
Just the same is true in aslro
nomy. Most stellar systems
evolve very slowly. Our best
measurements are only inst good
enough to show that the lengths
of the day and month, and of the
periods of some variable stars
are changing.
BUT occasionally a catastrophe
event occurs. In particular a star
may explode with a flash lasting
for some months, and possibly
giving rise to a new system of
planets.
Such events are very rare, but
they happen.
We are at present living in
period of human history when
great and sudden changes occur.
