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.?

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. The dispatch of
