But when, after long ages, collision ever occurs, and heat, light, are reduced, it' is not at all orthodox to say, as lr.

There is no orthodox justification for saying that it exhibits itself once more as gravitational separation.

If it did, no law of Dissipation Energy would have beon formulated. Yours faithfully, Olives Lodq. Edgbaston, March. 15, 1916. Sir, Sir Oliver knowing I have, devoted some decades to the study of cosmic collisions, has sent'bn to me Mr.

The arrival of the Aurora at Hobart may now.

be expected at any moment. Sir Ernest expected to reach the South Pole about Christmas. What route he would adopt after that depended on circumstances. It is possible that he has followed in the tracks of Captain Scott and has visited the memorial which was erected over -the remains of that heroic leader and his two companions by the relief party in, November, 1912. and there was every indication of a revival of public interest.

After some years, Kapteyn, by studying all the facts available, came to the same conclusion from deduction, as does Mr.

Stacpoole by induction, that the Universe was evolved by the interpehetration of two previously existing cosmic systems. Kapteyn considers one of these to have been mainly gaseous, and the other almost entirely stellar. Barnard, in a Teoent article in Popular Science," tells us that, although Kapteyn does not absolutely insist on this view, as evidence accumulates, he more and more believes it to be true. The idea is absolutely consonant with every detail of the configuration of the galaxy. In 1874; and the following years, I was in Mew Zealand, studying thermodynamics.

I found that' the cosmic collision of suns, meteoric swarms, nebulas and sidereal systems were great constructive agents in cosmic evolution. I saw that when a new star appears we are actually witnessing a solar impact. The impact is not a direct collision, such as Mr. Stacpoole suggests, 1 1 1, a bigger star, but a grazing impact is 1 1 3 stars.

The latter, one would think, would be banned by the Censor." I beg to point out that in my articles in Land and Water," to "which you make reference, there is not a word said as to my position as a member of the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, and there is nothing whatever which would justify any intelligent reader in believing that the views given are other than my own personal views, and the result of my own personal investigations.

It is, in fact, clear from many of my remarks that I am giving expression to my own views. I expressly requested the editor of Land and Water to make no mention of my position on the Advisory Committee or of my membership of various institutions, in order that it should be made as clear as possible that I was writing as an individual. I could, do no more than I have done in that direction. F. W.
