indicating a planet had existed, be-

seated the theory that an invisible
wall of fire surrounds this planet, and
that an must therefore rentaiu earth-
bound, Ile claims that spaceships
would become shouting stars in re-
verse, and atomic energy rockets, if
sent aloft, might even lead to the dis-
integration of the earth's surface.
Many scientists claim that the earth
is surrounded by electrical shells, sev-
eral layers deep (now called ionospher-
es) it is these barriers that make radio
possible, making long waves bounce
back from about 00 miles and shorter
waves rebound from about 120 miles.
Sir EdwardAppleton, recent winner
of the Nobel prize, professor of phy-
sics at Kings College, London, an-
nounced in 1927 that the substance in
his "F" layer of the ionosphere (above
120 miles) had a temperature in ex-
cess of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit,
which meant that the earth on all sid-
es is surrounded by a wall of invisible
fire.
The upper part of the earth's atmos-
phere is composed entirely of hydro-
gen and it is this protective layer or
shell that makes life on the earth pos-
sible. The hydrogen absorbs radia-
tion from the sun, deadly ultra-violet
and X-rays that would burn all plant
and animal life to a cinder if it reach-
ed the surface of the earth. This hy-
drogen becomes supercharged with
energy and its two-atom molecules
dissociate. The component atoms, in
turn, filled to the bursting point with
energy, shoot in every direction at high
speed and absorb more intense radia-
tion of higher energy until each fin-
ally disintegrates into its component
electron and proton, thus creating the
electrically charged Appleton layer or
shell.
Every atom is in the same condition,
and no atom is able to pass its energy
to any other atom, so, as there is
nothing solid on which to condense,
they fly around at tremendous veloci-

ATOMIC WAR TOO
DANGEROUS
Inevitably the world seems headed
for another war. It is almost impos-
sible to look at any daily paper or
listen to radio stations picked at ran-
C10111, without seeing or hearing dis-
turbing war talk. A grim future is
staring us in the face, despite the Un-
ited Nations, unless a miracle happens
and humanity regains its sanity in
lime. And undoubtedly, if there is an-
vther war, it will be the most terrible
-calamity that ever has been inflicted on
She modern world.
The next war will be an atomic
-war and no human being knows what
that may mean to this earth. Some
scientists believe that the planets,
'Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and
'Mars were once habitable,. Civiliza-
lions may have lived and flourished
ton them until they discovered and
-tampered with atomic energy with the
'result that all life was destroyed off
'them. Even now, through telescopes,
:astronomers and scientists, can easily
-tell that Jupiter and Saturn are still
:hidden by convulsive clouds, which
Prove that the destructive forces are
still unchecked.
The planet, Venus, our nearest nei-
xhbor, is still blanketed with clouds,

WEEKLY THOUGHT
A course of sin cannot last; it comes
to an end some time, and a man reaps
what lie has sown.
WHITECHURCH
Mr. and Mrs. Hank Kruger of De-
troit, spent last week-end at the home
of their brother, Mr. John Gillies, and
with Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Lucknow.
Their mother, Mrs. David Gillies has
been in bed for some months, being
paralyzed from' a stroke. She is with
her daughter in Detroit.
Mr. and Mrs. Angus MacDonald,
newlyweds, have been busy getting
their stock moved to their new home
on the 12th concssion of West Wawa-
nosh, and will be able to move lift°
the house this week. We welcome them
to the community.
Miss Jean Froome of Wingham,
spent the holiday week at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Johnston Conn.
Mr. Charles Gillespie was able to
leave the Wingham Hospital last Wed-
nesday and go to the home of his sis-
ter, Mrs. Charles Martin.
Mr. and Mrs. James Wilson and son,
Jimmie, motored to .Toronto last
week-end and his sister, Mrs. Fair-
brothers and her children, returned
home with them to spend a week here.
Mr. and Mrs. Carman Farrier re-
turned to New Toronto on Sunday,
and Miss Winnifred Farrier to Tor-
onto after spending the holiday week
with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.
R. Farrier.
Many will be pleased to learn that
Donald MacKay, son of Mr. and Mrs,
Angus MacKay, missionaries in Jansi,
India, came through his operation in
the Sick Children's Hospital, Toron-
to, last week, and is well on the way
to final recovery. Little Mary Ellen
has been staying at the home of her
aunt, Airs. Robert Mowbray, Wing-
ham,
Albert McQuillin has been im-
proving from a ,dose of the shingles.
People in this community were sorry
to learn on Sunday of the fire that
completely destroyed the home of
Miss Catharine Ross on Concession 3,
of Kinloss, during the afternoon. The
fire apparently started in the defective
chimney, and as the elderly lady lived
alone, very little of the contents of the
house were saved, as it was with dif-
ficulty that she, herself, was able to
get out of the house, as she has been
laid up with sore feet during the win-
ter. Her nephew, Mr. Robert Ross of
London, was there,and took her to the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert J. Ross. The veering. of the
wind, during the afternoon saved the
berm, and the stone-work standing, is
the only sign of the fine old stone
dwelling, that is left.

and Mrs. Russell Gaunt of Kinloss,

matter at a temperature of 2,000 de-
grees. This is the invisible fire that
surrounds the earth, that can't flame,
that can't burn, because there is noth-
ing around to consume. Send a rocket
or spaceship up into this shell of in-
visible fire and it will be destroyed-
become white hot, melt and burn to a
cinder,
The Scriptures have many records
of fire falling from heaven and shoot-
ing stars prove that the shell of fire is
in the upper air. Many scientists have
recently discarded the old theory that
friction causes shooting .stars and now
believe that these meteorites-little
chunks of iron-instantly become
white hot when untold billions of dis-
integrated hydrogen atoms condense
and deliver their heat on every square
inch of their surface. This ring of fire
