Recent Discoveries Have Greatly Ex. panded Mankind's Knowledge of Astronomy--Now We Know the "Sun Do Move." The high priests of Babylonia and Egypt, 3000 years and more ago, had a considerable knowledge of astron- omy; but, leaving out of question the few thus learned in science, creation to the ancients was a three-story af- fair, or rather two stories and a cel- lar, the latter being the abode of the | dead, while on the second floor, orna- mentally bespangled with stars, dwelt the gods. : Earth, of course, was flat. The sun passed across the heavens once in ev- ery 24 hours, and, going under, ap- peared again in the east next morn- ing. There was also the moon, which bad a similar habit; and that was about all there was of the cosmos. Since then our ideas on the subject have vastly expanded, and now, in view of recent discoveries, they seem destined to expand enormously beyond anything hitherto imagined. We are er universes outside of our own--at nigh inconceivable. Rev. Jasper declared that "the sun | do move." He was right. Not only | does it revolve on its own axis (as | may be plainly seen by the "spots" which travel across its disc), but it Is | moving in a straight line through | space, like a gigantic projectile, at a speed of at least ten miles a second. As it thus moves, the ear'h and Its sister planets, of course, go with it. Astronomers, in the course of cen- beginning to grasp the netion of oth- | but the many purposes for which wal- distances from our own universe well. | but could be used made it a wood of | great value, and now efférts are being TH NOT ALONE | For war wars | | | Bettiers Have Lived to Regret the Ruthless Dastruction of Their Black Wainut Trees Not many years ago the settlers of | walnut trees In order to kill them, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle ob- serves.

Walnut was then cheap and plenti- ful. The settlers wanted to clear the land, and no one thought that the timber would become exhausted. Then the forests were full of grand old trees, any one of which would today pay the possessor the purchase price of many acres of land. Today walnut is hard to find and the price Is very high, as is illustrated by the fact that a Maryland farmer recently sold four old walnut stumps for $1,000--just such stumps as the | farmers worked hard to pull and burn | to get them out of the way. | with black walnut.

The people have learned 'a lesson; a costly one, it is true, but one that will never be forgotten, The demands for timber are such that all governments are now pro- | tec ts, 8 no and the widening out of constellations | tecting the forests, and the time Is not far distant when the owners of timber and timber lands will be the men to whom 'the people will take off thelr hats, and to whom they will even get | down upon their knees, so to speak, eling at a terrific speed. The so-called | Runaway Star (known to astronomers | {as 1830 Groombridge) Is going at a | {rate of 200 miles a second. What | imaginable power could have set all | these suns in motion? And why are | they all traveling in different direc- | tions, apparently? | Our own seeming | destination is the constellation Lyra. | It is now thought probable that our | universe, which we | Way (we seem to be not far from the | center of it) is In reality a vast spiral {in form, and that this spiral is re- volving, so to speak, In its own plane. Assuming this to be true, the straight | Ine in which our sun appears to trav- | el is actually a curve. | What has led to this bellef is ob- ! servation of other spirals which are now thought to be distant universes, | many of them so far away that light from them, traveling 186,000 miles a second, takes something like 10,000, 000 years to reach us. Their form plainly: shows that they are revolving. Everything In the cosmos seems to go round and round. The moon trav- els around the earth, the earth around | the sun; and presumably the sun is following an orbit about some center, whether a giant sun or merely a point in space. Our universe (if the theory above outlined be accepted) is whirl- ing. Probably, as it whirls, it Is mak- ing a journey of its own,about some center, perhaps In concert®with other universes. Space being infinite in extent, it is, when one comes to think of it, absurd for us to imagine that ours is the only universe. y We shall never know. But at lea we may claim that our ideas on the subject of creation are expanding.-- Kansas City Star. cn Women War Werkers In Waxwerks. London is collecting in photographs and wax figures a complete record of. what women did to help win the war. For the present a part of the record is displayed In the Whitechapel art gallery, There is the woman ship painter, the tanner, the coke quench- er, the stoker, the airship maker, the munition worker, the farmerette. There is a picture of 8 woman gperat- ing a 100-kilowatt electric engine, and of another driving an electric crane. Women are shown working in gas works, dressing bricks, spreading tar, sieving, gauging burner parts, testing meters, wheeling coke, carry- ing heavy sacks, and working In paphthalene factories, flour mills and sawmills. Increase in Foreign. Malle. A comparison of United States mails dispatched to foreign countries by steamers for first nine months of the last two years shows that 2,560,043 pounds of letters and post- cards were dispatched In 1920 and 1,794,822 pounds in 1919, or 32.63 per cent increase. In 1020 there were 17. 877424 pounds of prints dispatched and 16,943,543 pounds in 1919, or 2.56 per cent increase. The dispatch of parcel post amounted to 26,458,548 pounds in 1820 and 12,888,722 pounds fn 1919, or an increase of 100.25 per cent, A Fighting Fowl. ' "Anybody try to bother 'your hen- house?

There is no lovelier trip to take than the one to Costa Rica, one of the most picturesque countries of Central America. As soon as the traveller arrives at Port Limon, he is indeed in a for- eign country. There Spanish is the language and everything seems Spanish. It does not require much time "to take in" Port Limon, and the travel- er is glad to leave for the cool tem- perature and good hotels of San Jose, the capital. This very pretty city Is gay with " |the pleasure-bent excitement of the Spanish. So keenly is amusement appreciated that in this remote coun- try there stands the fifth largest op- era house in the world. . Costa Rica is the land of coffee and bananas. All of the business and life of San Jose revolve around these crops. If the crops fail-- banks fail, business is crippled, and even the gay spirits of the town are {dampened. A Costa Rican Fisherman.
