Zurich Herald, 1920-07-15, Page 3GAINI G K OWL _ CE • OF UNIVERSE OURS IS PROBABLY ONLY ONE OF MANY, Modern Ideas on Subject of Creation Are Undergoing Enormous Expansion. The high priest of Babylonia and Egypt, 3,000 years and more ago, had a considerable knowledge of astrono- my; hut, leaving out of question the few thus learned in science, creation to the ancients was a three-story af- fair, or rather two stories and a cel- lar, the latter being tho abode of the dead while on the second floor, orna- mentally bespangled with stars, dwelt the gods, Earth, of course, was flat. The sun pass.od across the heavens once in every twenty-four hours, and, going under, appeared again in the east next morning, There was also the moon, which had a similar habit; and that was about all there was of the cosmos. Since then our ideas on the subject have vastly expanded, and now, in view of recent discoveries, they seem destined to expand enormously be- yond anything hitherto imagined. We are beginning -to grasp th'e notion of other universes outside of our own— at distances from our own universe well nigh inconceivable. Sun is in Motion. The Rev. Jasper declared that "the sun do move." He was right. Not only does it revolve on its own axis (as niay be plainly seen by the "spots" which travel across its disk), 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 sun'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 slugs, most of them much bigger than our own solar lumi- nary, and every one of them is travel- ling at.a terrific speed. The so-called Runaway Star (known to astronomers as 1830 Groombridge) is going at a rate of 200 miles a'second; What imaginable power could have sot ail these suns in motion? And wby are they all travelling in 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 centre of it) is in reality a vast spiral in form, and that this spiral is revolv- ing, so to speak, in its own plane. As- suming this to be true, the straight line in which our sun appears to travel is actually a curve. Whirling of the Universe. What has led to this belief is obser- vation of other spirals which are now thought to be distant universes, many of them so far away that light from them, travelling 186,000 miles a second, takes something like 10,000,000 years to reach' us. Their form plainly shows that they are revolving. Everything in the cosmos seems to go round and round. The moon trav- els around the earth, the earth around the sun; and presumably the sun is following an orbit about some centre, 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 le -Mak- ing a journey of its own about some centre, perhaps in concert with other universes. Space being infinite in extent, it is, when one comes to think of it, absurd for us to imagine that ours is the only universe. We shall never know. Bait at least we inay claim that our ideas on the subject of creation are expanding. In the Highlands.

Many women who had a good color in their girlhood grow pale and color- less when they become wives and mothers. When the fading color in the cheeks and lips is accompanied by a loss of brightness in the eyes and an increasing heaviness in the step, the cause will be found in the state of the blood. Many causes contribute to the con dition of the blood known as anaemia Overwork in the home, a lack of ou door exercise, insufficient rest an sleep, improper diet—these are a fe of them. The important thing is t restore the blood to normal, to buil it up so that the color will return t cheeks and lips, brightness to the eye and lightness to the step. Dr. Wil Hams' Pink Pills are the great bloo builder and nerve strengthener. The begin with the very first dose, an through a fair use make new bloo that carries strength and health t every part of the body. The appetit increases, digestion becomes ]nor perfect and energy and ambition re turn. - The case of Mrs. Wm. McNish Abbott Street, Brockville, proves th value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in casee of this kind. Mrs. MoNish says "I was quite young when I married and in raising my fancily I became al run down and a nervous wreck. I be came so weak that I could hardly walk across the floor without sitting down to get my breath., I slept poorly and at times my nerves would twitch so that I could not keep still, and I was in constant misery. I tried many medicines but they did not help me; indeed my condition was growing worse, until one day a friend told me that she had been in a somewhat simi- lar condition and had been helped by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, so I decided to try this medicine. After the use of a couple of boxes I felt they were• helping me. My appetite was better and I slept better. By the time I had used half a dozen boxes I felt like a new woman, my health had fully re- turned and I could do my housework with ease. In view of what Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have done for me I cannot recommend them too highly." The best time. to begin taking Dr, Williams' Pink Pills is the moment you feel -the least bit out of sorts. The sooner you do so the sooner you will regain your old time energy. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2,50 from The Dr. Wil- liams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. t- d w 0 d 0 S d y d d 0 e e e If husband and wife are querulous or caustic, sc runs the tune of all the Members One of Another. Family loyalty Is not the least of the virtues. The household divided against it;:elf, we are assured, cannot stand, A young man or woman facing, life and - entering the world without the faith and the love of a home in ,the background is destitute of one of the most valuable assets. It is not news that most households live at peace and in equity behind closed doors, and so it is quarrels and murders that find their way into the newspapers preferentially, Could we but see at close range how most families lead ,their lives we should be reassured, and we.. should not become cynical because of the minority of dismal failures in mar- riage and parenthood, The foundation -stone of society is- the happy family. It is a family in which a firm hand of discipline con- trols • the growing child; in which children's rights are recognized and still a respect for the elders is incul- cated and insisted upon. It is a family which knows how its own members spend their days and where they are. Children and parents do not meet as strangers at the table now and then. Pleasures and sorrows are shared like food or 'labor or any other. blessing. There is no family lice ' where the head& of the household are not defer- ential to eaoh other. No contagion spreads so fast as that of disrespect. 1 The "Weaker" Sex. If it is charged against women that their brain weighs less than the male brain, the quality of the female brain is much higher than the male. It has been noted, too, that few great causes succeed unless there is a wo- llian behind them, It was a woman who really roused the conscience of the world against slavery. It was a woman — Florence Nightingale—who roused the world to make warfare humane It was women—Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria—who lifted the prestige and standing of the Empire to higher points than any male ruler. In paying our thanks for "services rendered" to such great statesmen as Gladstone, Salisbury, and Chamber- lain, to mention but three of many, we are really honoring their wives, from whom they drew. their inspiration. A woman —Joan of Are—saved France from becoming part of Britain, and another woman, Catherine the Great, set Russia high among the na- tions. There are more women inventors than men, and more female teachers than male. It is admitted that women have far greater moral courage than men, and it is a very moot point as to whether they have not greater physical cour- age. On the stage, and in the world of song, women reign supreme. And let it be remembered that women stood nearest to the cross on Calvary, and were first at the open tomb on Easter thorn. Many farmers Lave been handi- capped because they have been taught that clover and the other legumes dere the only means of increasing the nitrogen content of their soils.

Much of the pleasure of lite is in the reminiscence' and there is nothing we remember more gladly than the affection evident between our Barents, who were lovers to the last. In a time of upheavals and varying standards, when civiliza- tion seems to stand on the debatable ground and the pillars of the social or- der threaten to collapse, we need to consider the part that the home plays and the duly of each individual in the home.

The life of those;, who one by one compose a family is, linked with -the upward struggle of the race, and in the family one learns the meaning and the utility of consent and common action, for the good of all. "The essential charm of the farm remains and always' will remain: the care of crops, and of cattle, and of orchards, bees and fowls;; the clearing and improving of the ground, the. building of barns and houses; the di- rect contact with the soil and with the elements; the watching of the clouds and of the weather; the priva- ries_with nature, with bird, beast and plant; and the close acquaintance with the heart and virtue of the world." —John Burroughs.
