CHICAGO, ILLINOIS tmas Goods Nuts and all Goods be Found at EARTH NOT ALONE Many Universes Besides Our Own I in Space. Recent Discover!** Have Greatly Ex panded Mankind's Knowledge of Astronomy ? Now We Know the "8un Do Move." The high priests of Hahylonla and Kgypt. :i?KK> yearn and more ago, hud a considerable knowledge of astrou omy; Uut, leaving oih of question the few thus learaed In science, creation to the ancients wus at three-story uf fair, or rather tSvo stories and a cel lar, the latter being the abode of the d?ad4 .while on the second tloor, orna iniMitully bespangled with stars, dwelt the gods. Karth, of course, was Hut, The sun passed across the heavens once in ev ery 24 hours, and. going under, ap iwarcd again lit ^ the east next morn ing. There was also the moon, which had a similar habit; and that wus about ail there was of the cosmos. since then our ideas on the subject have vastly expauded, and now, In view of lucent discoveries, they seem destined to expand bnormousl.v beyond anything hitherto imagined. We are beginning to grasp the notion of oth er universes outside of our own ? at distances from our own universe well- ! nigh inconceivable. Kev. Jasper declared that "the sun do move." Hq was right. Not only does It revolve on its own axis (as may be plainly seen by the "spots" which travel ucross 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 earth and Its sister planets, of course,, go with it. * Astronomers, In the course of cen turies, have actually been able to ob serve this movement, by the closer gathering of stars in the suit's wake and the widening out of constellations ahead of us ? Just as might be noticed of trees and houses passed or ap proached in a railroad train. All the stars are suns, inu*t of tliem much bigger than our own solar lumi nflry, and every one of tliem is trav efing at a terrific speed. The so-called Itunaway 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 Jn different direc tions, apparently* . Our own seeming destination is the constellation Lyra. It is now thought probable that our universe, which, we, call ..the Milky Way (we seem to be not far from the center Of It) is In reality a vast spiral in form, upd that this spiral fs re volving, so to. speak, In Its own plane. Assuming this to be true, the straight line in which our sun appears to trav el is actually a curve. Wlin I hns led to. this belief is off serviitiou of other., spirals which pre now thought to be distant universes, mnny of them so far away that light from them, traveling 18(5, 000 ? mites second, takes something llko 10,000, 000 years to reach us. Their form plainly shows Hint they arc revolving. Everything in the cosmos seems to go round and round. The moon truv els around the -earth, the earth around the sun; and presumably the sun Is -following an orbLt 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 nniverses. Space bring infinite iN extent, It is, when one romes to think of it. absurd for us to imagine that ours' is the only universe. We shall never know. Hut at least we may claim that our ideas on the subject of creation arc expanding.? Kansas City Star. Women War Workers in Waxwork?. London is collecting in photographs and wax ligures a complete record o,f 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, tlie stoker, the airship maker, the munition worker, the farmerette. There is a picture of a woman operat 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 naphthalene factories, flour nrflls and sawmills. Increase In Foreign Mails. A comparison of U raited Slates mails dispatched to foreign countries by steamers for the first nine months of the last two fiscal years shows that" 2,000,043 pounds of letters and post cards were dispatched in 1020 and 1,704,822 pounds in 1011), or .12.63 per cent Increase. In 1020 there were 17, 377.424 pounds of prints dispatched and 16^43,543 pounds In 1010, or 2.WJ per cent increase.
