hypothesis -into -which all the facts, as yet known, seem to fit. That is to say. astronomers proceed upon the theory that the planets revolve around the sun and that the law'of gravitation 4s the cause. But every astronomer admits that this theory has never been absolutely proved. It is believed in.

however, because all. astronomical calculations are based upon it, and such calculations are always accurate. When we read in the almanac that there will be an eclipse next autumn, we believe there will be an eclipse. When read that in summer the earth is further from the sun than it is in winter, we believe that, too, because important meteorological observations are based upon such a belief, and those observations are Invariably accurate. But beyond facts of this nature we have proof.

The whole Copemican system rests upon what the lawyers call clrcunstantial evidence. So far. the astronomers and the Koreshans are agreed. The next fact staring us in the face is the recent failure of the law of gravitation to meet the demands made upon it a basis for further exploration into ccsmical phenomena. That is, recent observations by scientists swin to denote a condition In which gravitation has no place.

Xow the whole theory of gravitation rests upon its invariability. If a boy throws a stone up into the air and it falls back to the earth it should fall back again if thrown under the same conditions, and so on indefinitely. But if a loy threw a stone and it went up. up. up.

until it reached the sun. that would be proof positive that there never was such a thing the law of gravitation. It is either invariable or it does not exist. Xow something of this sort has been observed to happen with reference to the solar system. The movements of celestial Device- for Holding? It in Way to Watch Development.

The developing of a photographic plate is probably that operation in photography which -is most interesting to an amateur, but also the most difficult, for it is necessary to look through the plate frequently to see whether it is thoroughly developed or not. jThls is achieved with difficulty only because the lifting of the plate must be done with care, so that the film will not suffer. To avoid handling the plate while it is being developed, trays with glass bottoms have been shown before, but even with this it was always necessary to hold the tray in a horizontal position in order not to spill the contents. M. Lambert, of Boulogne-Sur-Mer, France, obviates this shortcoming by providing a developing tray with a hard rubber frame, curved over In the manner shown in our illustration, which is sufficiently deep to hold the entire contents of the devoloplng tray, no matter in what position the tray Is held.

The use of this tray will permit the examination of the plate In. any position desired, and if not sufficiently developed the return of the tray to the horizontal position will be sufficient to sweep It again with the developing solution.

The natives of Natal, South Africa, have an Implicit faith In the existence of the lamp snake, which they call "umningi." this reptile is supposed to frequent swamps or lakes, and is of a size so vast that on an occasion where one of the species was attacked and tilled by a Boer hunting rarty. Its carcass filled a couple of wagons. In fact, the rmnlngi's proportions are almost unlimited.

For these reasons I quote Pror. Blgelow as follows on the weather map: The proportion or readers who perceive the significance of the lines showdng temperature and pressure of the air, as they change map to map In their location. Is already great, and it is thought that with a little care and effort nearly every one who can read may also comprehend the dally map at least approximately. "It is well known that the forecasters of the weather bureau often make mis takes in their efforts to Interpret tne probable changes In these lines for a day or two ahead, and that In consequence they are 3ubject to criticism by the pub lic tor tneir i allures. "On comparing these criticisms front different portions of the country, it Is seen that the people who best understand the difficulties of the art of fora.

casting are most just in their criticisms, and that generally the press has been fair in its statements.

"Near the center of an area of high pressure above 30 Inches is placed the word and near the center of a. region of low pressure less than 30 inches is placed the word A low-pressure system Is called a storm or cyclone, and the winds blow around the center in the opposite direction to the hands of a watch as one looks on the watch lying upon the map face up.

"The high-pressure system is called an anticyclone, and the winds blow around its center in the general direction of -the hands of the watch, though in a less distinct manner than in the cs'olone. The winds always blow down the gradient from the high to the low, from the anticyclone to the cyclone. "These are the chief features on anv weather map, so far as its construction goes. Those who wish to learn to under- sianu me meaning ot tne same in regard fco the resulting weather conditions should construct them for themselves, until familiar with the details. Then thev should carefully compare the maps from day to day and observe the differences that have taken place in 24 hours, In 48 hours and In 72 hours.

"A short practice in this manner will enable one to follow the storms as they pass from west to east, and will also soon give the ability to judge from the maps what the weather conditions are likely to be during the following 24 hours. "The rain areas are formed along the edges of the high, at a certain average distance from its center, the Irregular patches occurring on the map being generally parts of such a formation. This is, about the only rule in forecasting rain that is of real value and capable of serving on all occasions. "Precipitation is apparently formed by the discharge of the cool upper air into the adjacent low stratum, the lowering of temperature by direct contact of masses of cool air with masses of warm, moist air being evidently most efficient in producing the scattered rainfalls. "Intimate mixture has some effect, radiation some, adiabatic cooling by expansion much, but in our judgment such direct cooling by the intermixture of large masses of air at different temperatures is the leading process, as evidenced by the data of the weather maps."

For instance, it will not feeU at all as other fish do; its food must be placed in the water on the end of a little straw or stick, in such a way that it caa see it plainly, and then the food must be held in position for a long time before it can be induced to eat.

A cettain New York dealer in fancy finnv creatures, i.et and singing birds and "such like things is just now exhibiting a Chinese four eyed fish, the like of which he solemnly declares was never seen in America before. Certainly it is a curicus creature, and, to all appearances, it has the four eyes its owner claims. They are set in pairs high on the sides of the head, one "eye" of each pair looking straight up and the other sideways, each pair being fixed in a sort of fleshy protuberance that gives the finny monster a most extraordinary appearance.

The thing was imported from China, says the "Herald." It is a species of goldfish and is confessedly a sort of SIDES OF THIS BALL THE IX A GOBLE. HI MAX manufactured freak. The story told by the dealer to account for the extra pair eves is sufficiently marvelous to strain powers of the most credulous. He savs the orientals who breed these fish place them in a tank which is kept abs.dut? darkness, save that from a lens or a mirror placed above the tank one single tiny ray of light is shot down into the water. The fish naturally seeks Ihis ray of light and spends most of his time where it falls vertically upon his head.

In time, the dealer continues, the extra pair of eyes develop. Now, this is a fish story, indeed, and po reader need bell -ve It unless he wishes to. It is given here to explain the curious freik which th New York dealer has for sale, and which he says would be cheap at of any man's money. "In fact." he continued, "three New Yorkers have already paid $1'0 apiece for three other fishes of this same type." The Chinese have a curious name for this fish. The nearest approach to an translation of this n.itne is "celostial telescope." the word "tele-scopo" being used because of the protuberant structure of the eyes.

Why the adjective "celestial" is added the dealer does not know; he plenty of telescope fish with only vo protuberant eyes.

POWER EVOLVED BY PLANETS. frame one Strain Created by the Yearly Revolution of the Earth.

FORCE THAT MAKES ELECTRICITY. Is it possible that the solar system Is In effect, an electric machine on the grandeet scale-an immense cosmic dynamo, driven by that all-pervading and mysterious force called gravitation? Can it be that our sun is but a mighty electric lamp. Its light and heat generated by the tremendous stress exerted by the planets in their unceasing revolution around the central orb? It is an astounding proposition, and no one, in the present etate of scientific knowledge, can assume to demonstrate it conclusively; yet it Is no more incredible than many other theories now almost universally accented, and there i not a little reason for suspecting that It is the true solution of a great cosmic riddle. That the course and maintenance of the sun's heat is an unsolved cosmic problem is not to be denied, according to the Philadelphia "Times." Here are the words of Prof. Charles A.

Youner. one of the highest authorities upon this point After detcribing the terrific heat that prevails in our more than molten luminary, and the almost Inconceivable amount each instant radiated into space, ue Mis. "And now we come to questions like these: How is such a heat maintained? How long has it lasted already? How long Will It continue? Are there arv signs of either increase or diminution? questions to which, ir the present state of science, only somewhat vague and unsatisfactory replies are Sun." qage 269.) The current theories are. Indeed, unsatisfactory, some of them are even absurd. One and one that has been strenuously advocated is that the heat of the sun Is sustained by the concussion of a ceaseless rain of meteoric stones upon its surface: but this is Improbable, Inadequate, and generally repudiated by scientists to-day.

On the whole, the most approved explanation Is the shrinkage theory that the sun's heat is kept up by the collapse of its own substance as It cools and contracts. This, however, is little else than an Ingenious restatement of the ancient Idea that the sun is an Incandescent mass which is gradually cooling off and will ultimately be extinguished the fundamental assumption being obscured by diverting' the attention to a variety of purely Incidental phenomena. Moreover, there Is no actual evidence that the sun is shrinking, nor that it ever has. or ever will, shrink or go out. It is easy to say that the period of human observation Is insufficient; the fact remains that there is absolutely no proof, and the assumption Is gratuitous.

All the indications of modern investigations are to the effect that force Is indestructible and reciprocalan ebb and flow of action and reaction. The proposition that the greater part of the sun's output of force or. Indeed, any part of Its force is lost in voids of space, has a strong antecedent improbability to overcome. To some It may appear that geologic history proves that the earth, at least, has cooled very perceptibly; and If the earth, why not the sun? But all that Is really proved by such evidence is that there have been secular alterations of heat ami cold the latter as remarkable as the former with periods of extensive volcanic and seismic activity. What.

then. Is the force? for In science there Is no such conception as something arising out ot notning. any more than of something becoming nothing what is the rorce adequate to account for the prodigious heat-cnergy manifested by the sun? Let me quote again from Prof. Young. Speaking of the attraction between the sun and the earth he says: "If It were attempted to replace, by bonds of steel, the Invisible gravitation which holds the earth to the sun.

we should find the surprising result that It would be necessary to cover the whole surface of the earth with wires as large xs telegraph wires, and only half an inch apart from each other, in order to e-et a miallic connection that would stand the strain. This ligament of wires would be stretched almost to the break ing point. The attraction of the sun for the earth expressed in tons of force (not tons of mass, of course), is 3.fiO),X millions of millions of tons 3j with 17 ciphers): and similar stresses act through the apparently empty space in all directions between all the different pairs of bodies in the universe." Astronomy," p. 267.) Here is force enough, surely. And as the earth and all the planetary system are constantly revolving around their common center, it Is a continually shifting strain just such a stress as is calcu-later to give rise to molecular tension in short, to electrical action.

That the sun is actually the scene of tremendous electrical disturbance does not admit of doubt. The familiar sun spots are conceded to be electrical storms of Incredible violence, and of such magnitude that the earth might be swallowed up In one of them, like a drop of rain. That Is not all. It Is also conceded that these solar tornadoes react unon the earth, occasioning extensive elect-leal disturbances here. For let It be remembered and the fact Is extremely suggestive that the earth Itself is an electro-magnet of great power, with currents of electricity continually circulating around It much like those which pass through a coil of wire.

The directing Twer of the compass all over the world Is due to this. No reference is Intended to mere local phenomena, such as thund Tstorms. Hut the brilliant an I be.mti 'iil dlsnl.iyi cf the aurora borealls (more correctly, aurora polaris), which are almost continuous in certain latitudes, exhibit simultaneous fluctuations of Intensity in the northern and southern hemispheres, again showing that the earth has all the eharcteristics of a vast eleclro-riagnet. The earth, then, unquestionably. Is an Immense magnet traveling about the sun, and both bodies are highly electrified very suggestive facts, to say the least.

And. of course, what is true of the earth in this matter may safely be assumed as true of all the other plamts In their degree. That the force of gravity can in various ways be converted into electrical energy is a fact as familiar that electricity can be converted into heat and light. It is, perhaps, not unite so well kr.own that the law cf electrical and gravitational energy is the same; that both vary Inversely as the square of the distance. Yet such is the fact.

(See Ool-bear's "Matter, Kther and Motion." page 85.) Moreover, the velocity of electrical vibrations transmitted through ether is the same as that of light. Says Prof. Dolbear: "Hy periodically electrifying and delec-trifying a body a series of stresses will be produced about it which will travel outward as a succession of waves, the velocity of which is the same that of light, miles per second, j.nd ihe wave length of which will depend lift the number of electrifications per second." Kther and Motion," 1HS). All thes forces, therefore and we may add magnetism though they vary somewhat in their manifestations, are interchangeable and obey the same fundamental law. Any one of them can give rise to any other.

Here. then. In the enormous and ever-shifting stress of gravitation, converted through the agency of electricity into heat and light in the sun and returned to earth and other planets in the form of vibrations of ether, we have a force sufficient to account for all the phenomena, continuous in its action and as eternal as the heavens. It is just as applicable to the remotest stars, only the effect is inversely as the square of the. distance, according to the well-known law that applies to all these forms of energy alike.

Why seek further? Why devise an arbitrary, unproved and unprovable scheme which involves as its necessary outcome the ultimate destruction of the universe of God? Is this probable in itselt? Is It in harmony with the teaching of science that no atom of matter and no smallest portion of the energy manifested in matter are ever lest? An Improved (inn Wad. A Mlssourlan has patented an Improved wad for shotguns, designed to scatter the shot more widely and to prevent game being too badly torn by the number oi shot entering the body together.

It is not that many readers of "The Post" take any more stock in the theory that they are living on the concave Inner surface of the earth than does "The Post" Uself. but that they are curious to know how such a theory can be supported by facts.
