CAPTIVE OF EARTH
Moon Was Planet Seized by
Earth, Says California Savant.
Western Astronomor Declares He Has
Mathematically Proven That
Luna Was Snatched Out of
Space by the Work.
Berkeley, Cal. Thnt ho had mathe
matically proved a discovery that tho
moon was a planet captured by the
earth from npace and not a detached
portion of our globo was tho an
nouncement made by Prof. T. J. .1.
See, astronomer In charge of tho na
val obscrvntory at Mare Island, In n
report to tho Astronomical society of
the Pacific.
He rejects entirely tho long accfpt
ed theory of Leplaco and Sir Clcorgo
Darwin, ascribing earthly origin to
the moon, nnd declares his discovery
Is supported by rigorous mathemati
cal proof based on tho mothodB of
Hill, Polnnre and Darwin.
Professor See's announcement was
a further development of his discov
ery, announced last January, thnt all
planets nnd satellites nro captured
bodies, whose orbits have been re
duced since in sizo nnd rounded under
tho secular action of tho ncbulnr re
sisting medium onco pervading tho
solar system.
In tho case of the terrestrial moon,
however, moro than usual uncertainty
?xistcd as to how this largo satel
lite originated and a special Investi
gation of tho problem had to bo made.
Tho moon's mass Is relatively very
largo, about ono-olghtleth of tho
earth's mass, and then Darwin's argu
ment that tho moon had onco been a
part of tho earth had to bo overcome.
This Professor Seo says ho has dono
ivlth eutiro success, nnd ho announced
that ho had proved mathematically
HATLESS CLUB GET RECRUITS
Members of Organization Pledged Not
to Wear "Lid," But May
I i Carry One Ih Hand.
Omaha, Neb. Tho newest organiza
tion here to clamor for recognition Is
rapidly becoming tho most popular.
Its name Is tho "Hntless club," and
only men who nro bald-headed can
ever hope to becomo members.
Tho prlmo mover and organizer or
the Omaha Ilatless club Is Dr. Z. D.
Clark, who published n notice lu the
city papers two weeks ago Inviting all
bald-headed men In Omaha to meet at
his office. JIo expected about twenty
flvo to respond, but thero wero moro
than two hundred.
It Is not to bo supposed tho hatless
j"club is organized merely for fun. Tho
' members hnvo other motives, tho prin
cipal one of which Is to grow hair on
heads whero it does not grow now.
No patent lotions or medicines nro
to bo used to coax tho hair. Tho sun
and air arc to do tho work. .
The rules of tho club provide that
every member shall go bare-headed or
else wear a hat with tho crown cut
out. Ho may carry a hat in his hand
and tip It to a woman, but ho is pro
hibited from placing it upon his head,
no matter what tho occasion may bo.
Her Shroud Ready 35 Years.
Clifton Heights, Pa. Mrs. John Hoi
stein of Addingtor. wns burled in tho
clothes which she made herself moro
than thirty-live years ago. The aged
woman, who was known throughout
Upper Darby township, had each year
during her life wnsho.. theso clothes,
and then placed them carefully In a
bbx.
Shortly before she expired sho
called to one of her daughters nnd told
her where to find tho burial clothes,
with Instructions to seo that they were
placed on her body.
SAYS KISS YOUR HEADS OFF.
. Chief of Police Favors More Accom-
modatlons In Parks for Osculntory
Efforts of Ycung People.
Pittsburg, Pa. "Iot 'em kiss their
heads off, give 'em room," was tho
gist of an order handed down to tho
police of thin city by Superintendent
Thomas A. McQualdc when asked for
a decision on spooning In tho big pub
lic parks at Pittsburg. As a result
McQualdo Is perhaps tho mo3t popular
police official that has over been In
Pittsburg.
What Is still better, the grent Amer
ican privilege of tho young man to
take his best girl Into tho parks nnd
thero kiss her If sho Is willing will
not bo curtailed In this city In spite
of tho protests of tho elderly women
of Pittsburg, who have gono to seo
the chief of pollco to have lovemak
lag stopped in tho parks. Tho police
have been ordered not to Interfere.
"I don't Hko tho lovers' lanes In tho
parks those long dark ways whero
lovers have beon In tho habit of hiding,
but favor moro benches, where tho
light Is subdued enough not to embar
rass tho young people In tho park,"
Bald Chief McQualdo. "If I can assist
tho young man and young woman to
an hour'H quiet tlmo together In our
parks I am going to do It. Lot 'om
kiss, sure. And, what Is more, wo
want to give them hotter accommoda
tions than they havo at this time,
t Wo want to put in moro benches,
Ashore moro kissing parties can bo
held. If n fellow wants to tako his
best girl to tho park, and thoro glvo
a llttlo squeezo and a fow kisses, and
sho is willing why, moro power to
them both.
that our moon, too, had been captured
and had como to us from tho heavenly
spaces.
It was, ho says, originally a planet
Hko Morcury, but not quite so large,
and moved about tho Bun at nearly
tho samo dlstnnco as tho earth. Then
It canio between tho sun and tho
earth In such a way as to enter tho
neck of the npaco resembling n bot
tlo neck projecting from tho sun's
sphere of control nnd inclosing tho
earth. This neck was quite small and
narrow, but tho bulb of space Inclos
ing the earth nnd constituting its
sphere of attraction was of consider
able sizo. When tho moon had once
left tho sun's control and gono Into
tho bulb about tho earth it met with
some resistance, and tho neck bocamo
closed so that tho moon was "bot
tled up" under tho earth's control
nnd could not escape Hence, 1t has
remained with tho earth over since
nnd will, always nbldo with us.
Dy revolving about tho earth in tho
spaco controlled by our planet tho
moon has met with correlderablo re
sistance, and Its orbit has becomo
Btnnllcr and smaller nnd nlso rounder
nnd rounder. Thus It has, come near
er and nearer tho earth, but has novcr
been closer than at present. "Thus,"
ho concludes, "Darwin's theory of tho
moon's detachment from tho earth is
overthrown and an entirely now the
ory dovoloped which has tho support
of all the highest mathematical sci
ence now known."
Getting Used to Twins.
Seranton, Pa. Twins, tho third sot
out of 18 children born to Daniel Cnl
voy of Avoca, arrived at his homo tho
other night. Tho father said ho was
"getting used to twins" when tho
nurse nssured him there were none
too many children in his homo for u
happy family. Fifteen of the children

tho calamity howlers. Moro light,

The stnnd of McQualdc on the kiss
ing question has cnuscd great Joy on

$90,000 HOUSE BRINGS $180.
Commandant's Dwelllnn, Erected by
Government at Fort Whipple,
Sold Cheap.
Washington. A $90,000 houso was
sold at Fort Whipple, near Prescott,
Ariz., a fow dayB ago, for $180. It
was known as tho old Gen. Crook
house, nnd wns owned by tho govern
mont Gen. Crook occupied tho houso
for several months, nnd It was on
Just such a windy day as that of tho
sale that Gon. Crook rode away from
tho houso in March, 1885.
Tho building was of a nondescript
stylo of architecture, constructed ot
stucco, adobo nnd frame. It was
roomy and comfortnble, with lofty
ceilings and bny windows, through
which could bo seen tho snow-covored
peaks of tho mountains on ono sldo
nnd Thumb Uutto nnd tho city of Pros
cott on tho other.
Tho house, contained more than 40,
000 feet of 'lumber, and among other
modern conveniences it had two bath
tubs. Tho old building Is still well pre
served. When tho nuctloneer an
nounced tho sale tho bidding started
at $50, and this figure was raised from
tlmo to time, until It reached $180,
at which sum it was knocked down to
tho proprietor of n hotel.
Tho houso cost probably moro than
$90,000. Every foot of tho lumber In
It was freighted from Los Angeles at
a cost of ten cents a pound. It wns
considerably enlarged after Gen.
Crook left It. Tho Litter's successor,
Gen. Knutz, lived In It for a long time,
but it has not been occupied for u
number of years. At tho tlmo of Its
construction a guard of soldiers had
to patrol the vicinity constantly to
keep away Indians.
