Pants are like molasses; they are ' thinner in hot weather and thicker , in cold weather. There has been much discussion' j as to whether pants is singular or. plural; but it seems'to us that whenj men wear pants it's plural; and when j they don't it's singular.

Hwrblger. that glacial cosmogony "eiplains" the origin of the heavens. This idea, thai ice is the building materiel with which new universes arc constantly forming in the heavens, recently stirred scientific circles of Europe. Now it is being given particular attention In America in connection with the recent discovery at the Harvard observatory, where photo- j graphs were taken showing that a faint I and nameless luminous haze in the 1 , sky in the constellation of Sagittarius, the Archer, is a distinct universe. From these photographs Dr. Harlow Shapely, director of the observatory estimates that It takes l.HOO.OOO 1 years for light t?> travel from this newly found universe, whb h. he says, i Is the most distant ? Meet ever viewed by the eye of man. He bases this j I statement m the fact that the most j <i!8tant stars known prior to* this I measurement are only J.vu.dOd light- i yours from our earth. 1 The new universe found by the mam- I taoth lenses measures six qulntitllon -miles away.
