"The Utilization ot Solar k',nergy," in the Smithsonlan Annual Boort, A. S. P. Ackerman of England says that the sun is no longer regarded as a monstrous ball of fire, at a temperature of eoveral iaundred tbousauii degrees centi- grade, for, great as is its mass, it would be coltiparatively rapidly cttrt- 3umed if such combustion were tak- ing place. The temperature of the surface of the sun has teen deter- mined as about 6,000 (h., tar too high to permit the formation of most chemical compounds, without which the production of heat by cornnbusion le impossible. Such a temperature decomposes nearly all compounds into their elements and prevents their reuniting and the consequent production of heat. Mr. Ackerman says that scientists are by no means certain 'how the nun's heat is produced; one theory being that it is due to radio aetiv it,', and another that the energy ''to .keep up the radiation could be supplied by a relatively microscopic contraption of its volume, but this theory 15 not a complete success as it iin.piles that elle sun is only about 1.7,000,000 years old, or less than the ago ot the earth. As to the structure of .the suit there is also doubt, but the inner por- tion may bo spoken of popularly as the nucleus and the. outer portion art the atmosphere. When the .outer layers of the atmosphere get rela- tively cooler they sink to a lower level, their place being taken by hot- ter layers, thus actuating a continual circulation of the sun's atmosphere. The author states that the weight of a.t average cubic foot of the tin Is only one-quarter of that of an aver- age cubic foot of the earth. The density of the sun' being so small, it has been concluded that it .' can still continue to contract, getting •hotter all the time instead of cooler, as is popularly supposed, making it a' hopeful future for utilizers of solar energy, The great glowing surface which the sun presents to us, even consid- ered as a flat disk, has the enormous area of .585,750,000,000 square miles, each square foot of which bmits the tremendous amount of about 12,500 horse -power, and the radiant energy received on the sur- face of the earth at noon on a clear day is about 6,000 horsy -power per acre. Thieves' Insurance, Recently there has been brought to Light in London a widespread form of insurance against police court fines inflicted on thieves. The scheme was discovered by Mr, Cecil Chap- man, the Tower Bridge magistrate, who told a London Daily Mail repre- sentative that "It all arises from the f?rosperity which had been apparent on the surface during the last year or so prompting a great many .previous- ly honest people to pilfer. ' Seeing plenty, they have succumbed to the temptation to take some for them - eaves. At some docks, warehouses, and other places the volume of pil- fering has increased threefold. This has led to what can only be described as thieves' insurance societies, in which both honest, and dishonest melt club together to form a ftind front which the fines inflicted. en those convicted of thieving are paid. They appoint an official • called 'the banker,' who collects the money, and It Is his dutytto attend the court and pay the fines. In one case a few days ago a youth caught stealing had on him, a card showing subscriptions to the amount of £2 for use in paying Mlle fines of friends found. guilty of thiev- ing. An even stranger case was that of a person charged with stealing 7s 6d. IIe had been entrusted with 15s, subscribed by friends to pay the fine of a pilferer. The fine was only 7s 6d, and the 'banker' had kept the balance." Evacuated Belgian Towns. The Germans have recently evac- uated several villages on the frontier between Belgium and Holland. 'Ac- cording to Dutch papers the evacua- tion of Putte (North Brabant) caus- e4 great excitement and enthusiasm among the Belgians. About half • past twelve o'clock, when the _core tomary relief of the German guard in Belgian Putte was expected to take place, a warrant officer arrived with the information that it the re- lief did not arrive within two bouts the existing guard was to be shale fatted. The Warrant effacer, accord- ing to the report of an 'escaped ,Bel- gian, went later to the guard bcuse, and after removing the papers lock- ed it' up and departed with, his men: Shortly after wards a Germ,nn ofllcer arrived and. removed` the telephone eontmuttitrating between the guard hoose andthe blockhouse. The Ger- man flag, which was waving on. the frontier, w'as then hauled down, its disappearance being greeted,with loud applause from the Belgiah on the Dutch side of the frontier. 'The German non-commissioned eQlcer who hauled down the flag smiled at t$8 tletneestration, but the German soldiers With were with. him were highly Indignant, .A. couple pt htfttps later the German sentry bo*ee were removed is a wagon, and Belgian Pitta has since then been free of armed Germ:a. ts, except ' that from tittle to time a small petrel from 8tabrodek comes along patrolling the frontier. i1t Is thought that the reason for this measure is partly to be found in the frequent recent de- sertions across the frontier. In the meantime at other Belgian. frontier places the Game measures have been gradually taken, Beiduinenhof, liut- bergen, Esschen, and Platuis being among the places evacuated.
