EARTH WAS
The Chicago Professor's Theory
nd the Story la the Book of
Genesis.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Professor Moulton, associate
professor of astronomy at the
University of Chicago, nays that
the crth waa born in a solar
Btorm. Probably but there
m no way to prove it. It may
be true, m the professor says
Indeed; we think that it statute
Irk reason, aremriflr
from tne
HOW THE
IIADI
known ootwlutkxia on this planet
of ours that "storms so ter-jt
wf; rh.f th Vmnmn mirwl is uii-!
abl to comprehend their force,
are common on the sun." It
may also be true, as the profes
sor says, that "matter w some
times thrown out 275,0000 miles"
although he can't prove it by uh.
It may be true, further that is
to say, we eannot deny U as
the professor says: "The attrac
tion of the sun usually draws
this nebula back; but wIwmi the
world was formed, another sun,
with a coiuuter pull of gravity,
drew the new material out into
space. This mass solidified and
formed the earth."
That was really remarkable, if
it were done exactly in that
way, and we shall not deny it ;
but there is another story about
it that Is not less wonderful and
that is at least as likely as the
story told by the professor at
Chicago. It is contained Ln a re
markable book and reads: "In
the beginning (rod created the
heaven and the earth. And the
earth was without form, ami
Void. And God said: Let tin-re
be liprht, and there was light.
nd God said: Let there be a
firmament. And God made the
firmament. And God called the
firmament Heaven. And
r-..i
sunt: it tne ury lanu appear;,

said: Let the drv land appear;
the day from the niirht.
Ai.mI (!ihI made two gn-at lights,
tha greater light to rule the
day, and the lesser light to ride
hie night: lie made the stars
lisu."
That is a wonderful sti.ry.
There is not a word about the
1'irific storms that are common
in the sun, or about it throwing
out matter for the distance of
J7",(hi0 miles, or about how an
other sun- somewhere . witli a
counter pull of gravity, drew
the nebula back and out of it
formed the earth. Not a word.
It l-- eliollgll tliflt iol spake.
:md it was done ; I ft
COIllmaiKteil ,
, . '
and it stood fast." There is
something really sublime, some
thing i'iiiie, in that account of
the making of the earth. We
like it so n ' -h better than the
recount given by the Chicago
professor.
Hurricane's Work in Florida.
Piiii-siieola, Kla., Aug. 12. The
first West Lidiau hurricane of

Although the wind reached a
velocity of ninety miles an hour

fire which they ignited about a
half mile from town. The negro,

Winrton Salem, Aug. 13.
Worn with the weartneH of
withering despair born in the
heart beating under convict
stripe and straggling in the
sweltering heat and covered with
dumt from the long day's toil,
more than a score of prisoner
wend their way down the fashion-able
Ktreets in Wewt Void ev

long. Guards with their Win
chesters march before and behind
the long line, Ininging the con
victs to the county jail to sleep.
And when the dew fresh they
march back to their chains and
their picks ami their shovels an
the country highway a little
way out of the city.
Every evening the children
stop playing on the lawrw of the
palatial homes to stare at the
mtm in stripes as they go by.
Tender hearts of the gentle
quicken with pity and lean to
mercy even at the erpens of
justice.
Then a good woman of the
fashionable center, after watch
ing the marching prisoners from
her piazza for days and days,
let her feelings speak out. And
here is the story of the sun
shine her beautiful kindness sent
deep into the hearts of the con
victs. It was Friday afternoon, and
she had made the guards prom
ise to bring the squad along
earlier than usual. You can
imagine the surprise of the pris
oners when they were told to
halt in front of the beautiful
residence, then ordered through
the gate and into the back yard.

and the old negro wiped his

He was the spokesman for all
