system WaS Mach. • TO many reader e ‘if this
article that statement will be startling ; to
all of them, perhaps, the figures %et I have
given aro simply inconeetvable. And yet
there can be no reasonable doubt that Qur
sun and its eight planets had their. origin
in that (poet ()beetle masa of matter. There
is as little doubt of it as there is of the
gradual evolution or plants from the primi-
tive simplieity of weed -life to the luxuriant
beauty of their present growths and of.thia
no well-informed person has any doubt at
all, The proofs are simply overwhelming.
But if our solar system was formed out of
that nebulous mass, the process must have
hon a work of thousands of years ; how
than. shall we interpret that scriptural line,
"10 six slays God Made the heavens and tho
earth?" It is o matter of unmixed wonder
to me that ten people out of twelve take the
word "days as used in that line to mean
days as we divide the time, of twouty-four
b.ours each. AS a matter of fact, it means
nothing of the kind. It )3104118 periods

the assumption. that " Gocl'e days as a than.

It is a white and dreary plain. There is

Six wild horses—brombles, as they are
called—have been driven down, corralled
and caught. They have fed on the leaves

After a thne they are got within the traces.
They are all young, and they look not so
bad. We start. They can scarcely be held in
for the 'first few miles. Then they begin to
soak in perspiration.
Even if the Bible were silent en the sub-
jecb it would be contrary to ell. the knoven
larva of the univerae, to analogy and to good
anise, to interpret the atory of the creation
as meaning that God completed the work
in six nays ot twenty-fourhours each. That
interpretation would imply that the Creator
works like a magician ; that he sits in
heaven, ordains by a breath the making of
a world, and. throws it out into space as
juggler tosses a glass ball up in the air.
Even in the absenee of all proof, I could not
bring myst If to believing that possible. But
there aro proofs of the meetconvineingitind
that the formation of our soler system was
a work of ages and not of days. I purpose
giving you ft few of them in pladu, tins

other words it Was originally a pat; of -the

We know that the sun is being heat all
the time ; therefore, there must have been
a time when it bad -vastly more than it has
now. We know, toe, that bodies contract
as they cool; therefore, there mast haao
been a time when the sun was much larger
thew it is now. Indeed, the conclusion is
irresistible that it was once but a masts of
fiery vapor filling the great space now oo-
cupied by our solar system. The planets
could then have had no separate existence ;
they must have formed a part of the nebu-
lous mass. The fact that the planets all
lavolve around the sun in the same diree.
tion, from west to east, and that thoy move
almost in the same i)lane one with another,
is a strong pried that they •were all IMO a
part of the sun's balk.; in other words,
strong proof of the truth of tho nebular
hypohiais.
' More than all this, the spectroscope has
shown us nebulous masses in various parts
of the heavens, all having the conditions
that have been assumed for the masa out of
which our system was formed. They aro
unquestionably throwing off heat arid con-
densing, just as our mass did, awl we are
thusperinitted, by the glorious achievments
andinventions of scientists, to see the work
of world -making anually going on. A not-
able instance of this is in the constellation
Orion, where le haa been noticed for years.
The lest proof that I will ette is right in
our own system, tho condition of the plan -
eta Jupiter mid Saturn, The telesope en-
ables us to see violent disturbances that
must be produced. by heat, It is evident
that they .have not yet cooled off sufficient-
ly to sustein life; in other words, that their
mass, so mach greater thaallutt of the earth
has not yet reached its cooler st4go. All
these foots, it seems to me, aubstantiate the
nebular hypothesis; indeed, we could hard-
ly ask for stronger proof of ita truth short
or a direct revelation from the Creator him -
off.
But our own solar system is not the limit
of that hypothesis. The spectroscope has
shown us that fixed stars are all akin to our
sun. They have the same elements, the
same characteriatics and virtually the same
conditions, Why, then, ia it not reasonable
to assurae Wet all space was origivally fill-
ed with nebulous mama, which, like that
of our system, shrunk, condensed, radiated
heat and threw off secondary masses to fortis
planets and satellites?
TaBOBIBB ABOUT UST
-
I have spoken of an original mase of
nebulous s'matter, composed of gases and
meteoric atones, and with a diameter of 5,-
600,000,000 miles. You will naturally aak
why the mass was wistuned to have a
diameter of a certain extent. The answer
to that question is found in the radical dis-
tante of the planet Neptune from the sun,
which is 2,750,000,000 miles, the diameter
of its orbit, being twiee the radius, or 5,
500,000,000 miles. As Neptune is the out-
ermost planet of our system, it marks the
boundary of tile nebulous matter fromwhich
the system was formed.
As this mass of matter slowly revolved in
apace it assumed a globular Shape. Thew -
doles composing it were held together by
gravitation, and as the rotation continued
there was a gradual condensation in the
center. That center, in the course of time,
became a nucleas of solid matter in withal
there was great bent. There was heat
throughout the mass, but it was greatest at
the center.
Then the nueleus began to throw offbeat,
and the mass shrunk and condensed more
and more. And the more it shrank the
hotter the center became autt the more
rapid was the rotation. The slower rota-
tion of the mass had made it globular:in
shave'but as the rotation increased the
globobecame andflatter &tar, lintel it As-
sumed the form of a disk.
At a certain stage of this flattening pro -
ON the law of gravitation became inopersa
tive ; it could hold the mass together as a
body no ilonger. Then a ring of matter was
thrown oil into space, and the central part
of the mass, being thus relieved, again as-
sumed a globular shape, again shrunk, con-
densed at the center, increased in rapidity
of rotation, flattened, and. threw off a ring
of matter. This was repeated several
times, and then the center of the mass, hav-
ing reached the last stage of shrinkage and
condensation, and with it the greatest
possible heat, became the sun.

In the form of the foot the sexes differ as
much or even more than in that of the hand.
A. woman's foot is usually narrower in pro'
portion than a man's, while bis will be
conaiderably stronger in the ankle and more
powerful in the formation of the toes,
especially of the ball of the great toe.
-When a woman owns a strong, firm, wide
foot many of no experience, perhaps, no
sensation of surprise r.t finding her "strong.
minded." When a man trips along on a
delicate little foot ilcople instinctively be-
lieve him to be lacking in power, and often
put him down as effeminate.
If, Instead of the crampingirnprisonment
a boots and shoes, the toot from infancy
were allowed a free, natural development,
it may be questioned whether, under snit
conditions, it might not be rendered capable
ol performing other runtime besides those
of locomotion and sustaining the weight of
the body.
Certain at least it is that some unlucky
mortals born without arms have managed
to use a knife, fork, spoon, pen, paint brush
and. even a violin bow. That the right foot
is, like the right hand, ordinarily more
mobilo and at the same time more strong
than the left might be attributed to the
more frequent exertion of this side were it
not that the peculiarity is said to extend it-
self even to the constitution, and the loft
extremities are asserted 1,o be more liable to
dime° than the right.
The more diffieult movements in stage
dancing aro usually executed upon the right
foot, and ibis generally considered. that un-
less double practice be accorded to the left
leg an ungraceful preference for the right
will be shown by the dancers in their per-
formances.
Most people tread more firmly with the
right than with the left foot. There seems
to he a greater capacity for propelling the
bodY with the foot ; Irina this the horse-
man springswith the left in the stirrup.
and, unless left-handed, no boy in his play
hops naturally upofl the left foot.
To the attentive eye none of the ordinary
gestures or movements betrays peculiar -
bio of individual character more plaiuly
than the gait—the sailor's rolling, the sol-
dier's stiff, the countryman's jolting gait
are immediately recognized.
Slow steps, whether long or short, sug-
gest a gentle or reflective state of mind, as
the case may be, While, on the contrary,
quick steps seem to speak of agitation and
energy.
Reflection is revealed in frequent pauses
and walkiug to and fro and baekvtard and
forward ; the direction of the steps, wav-
ering and following every changing impulse
of the mind, inevitably betrays uncertainty
hesitation and indecision.
The rings that were thrown off during
thee repeated actions of the central mass,
obeying a universal law, begin in their turn
to rotate around the densest part of the
matter that composed them. They con-
tracted, condensed at the center and. threw
offringf, precisely as the original mass had
done.
Thi e is a simple and easily understood
explanation of the famous nebular hypothe-
sis promulgated by Laplace. Ibis accepted
by the most eminent astronomers mid
scientists as the only reasonable solution of
the great mystery of creation. According
to it the nucleus of the original mass formed
the sun, the nucleus of each secondary mass
formed a planet, and the nucleus of each
ring thrown off fronaa secondary mass f orm-
ed a planet's satellite.

Our earth was one of the rings thrown off
front the original mass, and it, in turn,
threw off a ring, which became the moon.
The seven other planets of our system were
formod in the same way. 18 18 supposed by
some astronomers that a ninth ring WM
thrown off between Mere and Jupiter, which
became disintegrated, and that the matter
that composed the ring formedthe asteriods
that have their orbit between those two
planets. That veiw is strengthened by the
fact that the distance froin Mars to Jupiter
is about 340,000,000 miles, which exceeds
the gradual incresze of distance between the
sun and the planets. Therefore, they saya,

As to the proofs of Laplace's hypothesis,
it is not my purpose to enter upon a scienti-
fic discussion of them here. On the con-
trary, I desire to avoid everything of a
strictIst scientific and teohnical nature.
Fortunately,' a statementmf that kind isnot
necessary to put before you the strongest
evidences of the tenth of the theory; they
maid in the facts and conditions that even
child may readily understand. I will give
four or fate of them very briefly :
First, we know that the earth is better in
the interior than it is on the surface, because
when deep wale tied mines are sunk there ie.
an average increase of heat of one degree to
every 50 feet. This hetit could not have
been received from the outside since the
earliest geological age, for the reason that
it would have destroyed life ad vegetation.
Therefore, it must have been in the center
of the earth before the existence of life on
the eurface.
As the heat comes from the center of the
earth to the surface, which it ie compelled
to do, according to .well-known laws, it 18
given off into space, and this ra,diationmust
have been goingon from the formation of
the globe. Going back, therefore, to the
beginning, we must conclude that there was
NAVIGATING TSB ARUM.
1t1% No Longer a Natter of Chance.
The experience Unit haa bon brought
down from the various Arctic expeditions-,
atid more pet tieularly from the different
wbalers which every year,' treveree much of
the northern icy seas, has infused all element
of certainty into Arctic navigaVen, which
could hardly have been realized by the
heroes of a period twenty-five or thirty years
ago. The capture, by the Melville Bay pack,
of MoOlintock's Fax in the latter part of
August, 1857, could scarcely beparalleled to-
day, except as the outcome of ignorance or
disregard of every -day knowledge. In an
average season Melville Bey can be travers-
ed about as readily as almost any Ittrellaaay
of water lying Southward, evhile its earliest
seasonal paseages eau be predicated with a
precision almost akin to mathematical cal-
culation. The hard pack -ice which has
o.ectunulated 118 11 result of the winter's frost,
and has to an extent been held together
through tho large barge whieb are here and
there scattered throngit it, usually shows
the first signs of weakness between
July 15th and 2051z. Large oakea
or pans of ice have by that tinm
succumbed to the powerful meanie currente
that are directed against them, and detaeh-
ing themselves from the parent mass, float
off to find new havens of their own. s The

north-westward through the Bay, then west-
ward lo the American side, and finally south
to the open sea. It was the purpose of the
Relief Expedition to reach tho southern
boundary of the Melville Bay pack on or
about the 20th of the month, and there watch
the movements of the ice until the oppor-
tunity for action arrive& An earlier traverse
might possibly have been made through per-
aisteut 'butting" of the ice, but'the dangers
incident to this form ot navigation were
such as to render slowness a prudent meas-
ure of safety.—[Dr. Angelo Heilprin, in
Scribner.
The proud step is slow and unmeasured,
the toes are conspicuously turned out, the
leg is straightened. In vanity the toes are
rather more gracefully turned, the strides
a little shorter, and there is very often an
affection of modesty.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise, cur-
iosity,diseretion or mystery. Obstinate
people who in an argument rely more on
muscularity than on intellectual power, rest
the feet flat and firm cm the ground, walk
heavily and slowly and stand with the legs
firmly planted and far apart. Turned -in
toes aro often foiled with preoccupied, ale -
gent -minded persons.
The toes pointed and dragged on the
ground with slow, measured step give a pom-
pous appearance. Perplexity occasions ir-
regular steps and abrupt movements. The
prudent walk is measured and regular, en-
tirely free from hurry, agitation or pi:n
iip-
tation.
The miser's walk is represented as iitoop-
ing, noiseless, with short, nervous, anxious
steps. In joy the walk is lively, for light-
ness, grace, suppleness characterize a happy
mind, although the walk here is often mod-
ified in harmony with the cause of the joy e
the joy of gratified ambition, for example,
betraying itself by a different outward am-
bience from the joy of happy love.
Disappointment walks heavily and with
irregular step. When a revengeful purpose
be hidden under a feigned smile the step
vrill be sinking and noiseless.-a[Pall Mall

because you give so goodly an array of casee
of prosecutions for adulteration of ordinary
milk. 1891 the mortality of infants

151 per 1000 of the population; 149 chil-
dren out of every WOO born diel within one
year, and out of every 1000 deaths 231
deaths were childrea under one year old,
You have done great service by warning the
public againat purchasing spurious condens-
ed milks and infants' food, but whit are the
Foodand Drugs Acta inspectors doing to allow
the uninterrupted sale of the artieles ? It is
one thing yearning the .public, and another
thing entirely to punish the vendors. I
have no objection whatever to seeing "skim-
med" condensed milk used with tea or cof-
fee, although even then it is an imposition
upon the purchaser -unless it be sold as
skimmed" condensed milk. It is the
large sale of "skimmed" su.bstmices for
feeding babies that 1 think should ba re-
garded es one of the worst, as it undoubtedly
is one of the meanest and mese heartless, of
frauds. The number of poor evomen who,
ignorantly, dee - skimmed" substances is
legion, and we shall never reduce infant
mortality until the sale of such articles ia
rigorously dealt with.
