What Makes the Sun Hot?
What, asks Discovery, keeps our
sun hot? Perhaps most people think
of the sun in a vague kind of way;as a
,gigantic bonfire that will in- time -turn
into a vast celestial ash heap. That
is, However, certainly not true, " be-
cause the highest known. temperature
of combustion Is about three thousand
degrees, and the;sun has a tempera•
tare of six thousand degrees; more -
'over, it his been calculated that no
bonfire, even 'of the size of the sun,
could. give- mere than twenty-five hun-
dred years of heat.
How many years the. sun has been
aadiating'heat energy is a difficult
problem to.eolve; estimates are:usual•
ly expressed in hundreds of millions.
Some persons believe that showers of
meteorites teed ,the sun.. But if s0
there weuld: be an increase in the
mass of -the suu' and therefore ah sc•
celeration of the earth In its orbit and
a shortened year. • There are reasons
also that hake a theory of radioac-
tivity as 'a source of sun energy road
inL sihfe,
The theory that Lord- Kelvin adopt-
ed, anal what M. Alexandre 'veronuet.
chooses as most plausible; was origin•.
ally • advanced ` by Helmholtz. His
opinion;was that the Beat of the sun.
was the result of the energy of its
#radual''pontraction. : The deduction.
(from that 'theory is that in one hun,
dz'ed thousand years the mean tem-
petattire of the earth will be five de-
grees lower. In a million years .the
temperature will be below zero and
the whole earth will be frozen over.
Imagination shrinks from picturing
what the life of man in that eternal
arctic winter will be. It .is b -dismal
picture! As we" sit' by a coal fire in
winter or Iie in the slimmer sun_ in
these halcyon<days 'of the gracious
Middle ' age of -the sun perhaps we
ought to be grateful that.we bave been
born in what is probably, the most
bountiful and luxurious age the earth
has) known or eves' will know.
There is, however, another theory of
the heat of the sun, which M. Veron-
net does not accept, but which English.
authorities prefer. They: do pot be-
lieve that the, theory of centraationac-
counts for more than a five -hundredth
part of the energy -of the -sun. The al
ternative theory le based on the sup,
position that elements are formed
from hydregen, :If that 18 so, the mass
of their et ao
tms aught all to lie exact
!multitudes of the mass of the hydro-
gen atom, 'In point of tacttheir mass-
ilii es are in general a little less than the
calculated figure. ` It is possible; using
the arguments that Mr. Einstein' first
broughtforward, -to explain the energy
of the sun by assuming that the extra
Mass has been turned into radiant
energy. Such a theory postulates a
far older sun.and a mucbi longer lease

3. How is that? Because Scouting
claims to -assist the education given
in church, in the home, and in school.
It wishes to keep the boys a11ve'and`to
perfect their moral, intellectual and
physical being, The moral '.doctrine:
received by the boys;ismade ,use'of
by the pradtlee of two' virtues, which.
aro the foundation of the Scout
Law, loyalty and kindness, :Loyalty
towards God and Country, by the
integral practice of 'all our obli-
gations as .Christiane and as citi-
zens; loyalty towards our Neighbor,
by justice, by keeping to our word,
6y fidelity to:those , who,have the
right to depend upon' us. Loyalty to
ourselves by scrupulous obedience to
our : duty, and by the - cultivation of
honor and parity. ' Kindness. to our
neighbors. by the practice -of; the daily
good turn. Kindness towards animals,
by compassion witliout;siilines3,'which
saves them from -needless suffering,
Front.theintellectual point of view
Scouting completes the school training
by ground. for the. applica-
tion ol'' the various sciences for which
one is specially, suited. Briefly hitt,
badges are the practical application of
the theoretical fnstiuetion which Ys re-
served for the school. There are
badges for all branches of instruction,
literary, or scientific, without counting
those that make for smartness.
b;inally, from the.:point of.. view of
physique, by the open-air lire, by the
many healthy exorcises', Scouting-
helps
couting
helps to make strong, enduring men.
This, in a very few, words, is Scout-
ing., This is et least what Scouting
seems to edo to be. For,'and perhaps
this will g astonish you, I myself, the
author of these lines,' am only a "pale-
face,' very troll to Scouting. Often.
had I heard it criticized. "If it is
criticized it must have some life in it,"
I told myself, "for finless one, is a
coward ooe Des not attack the, dead."

I have found that there is an enorm-
