AMERICAN AUTOS
Many Exhibits of Motorcars Arranged
Growth of the Industry
That automobile shows are rowln
greatly in popularity in this cotuitry Is
shown by tin large number scheduled
to be held within the next few months
Beginning with the decennial inter
national in New York on the lirst of
the year nineteen other exhibitions
of the kind follow in various cities
the last being the Boston show March
5 12 It lias been estimated that Amer
icas autumobilc output for 1110 will
be close to If not fully 200000 cars
Automobile making is now a nation
al industry and on a par with any oth
er line of manufacturing In America
This is best evidenced by the tenth
international automobile show held in
New York when V27 exhibitors show
ed products from every nook and cor
ner of the United States
That the industry is national is
proved too by rhe statistics showing
national auto show poster
the millions of dollars of capital in
volved the thousands of cars made
and sold and the thousands of employ
ees of automobile and automobile parts
factories Figures that are conserva
tive in every way make it appear cer
tain that as stated 200000 motorcars
are scheduled for 1910 They will be
made in twenty one different states by
2G3 makers
The poster adopted by the tenth na
tional automobile show and shown
here is provoking considerable com
ment Instead of the usual winged
Mercury mighty Samson or some oth
er symbolical figure the poster for this
show reveals a typical American girl
attired in complete motoring costume
with skirts ablow as she stands with
one dainty foot advanced and arm out
stretched It was made by an artist
from a life study The original is not
a professional model but is said to be
a woman well known in motoring cir
cles whose picture has appeared in the
automobile news columns more than
once during the past two years

NEBULA HYPOTHESIS
One of the Most interesting Prop
ositions of Science
WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS
That the Sun Planets and All Matter
Were Once a Vast Mass of Incan
descent Gas All Jumbled Together In
an Enormous Chaotic Cloud
Kvii ybody has heard the phrase the
nebula hypothesis but what is itV
In a lew words this is tin meaning
of nebula hypothesis That the sun
the planets and all that is in them
were at one time in the Inconceivably
remote past a vast mass of chaotic in
candescent gas all jumbled together in
an enormous nebula or cloud
To begin with the lirst conception
that science has dared to make how
ever takes us one step further back
Without mentioning the origin of mat
ter itself science conceives that in the
beginning all matter was uniformly
distributed throughout space that
there were no stars no planets no
satellites but that all space was fllled
with the matter we now have divided
up into very fine particles some dis
tance apart The consistency of such
material was perforce very thin In
deed much more rarefied than the
highest vacuum we can obtain now by
air pumps From tills state to the
nebulous state the theory has a miss
ing link one that can only be satisfied
by supposing divine command for it
assumes in the words of Professor
Todd that gradually centers of at
traction formed and these centers pull
ed in toward themselves other parti
cles As a result of the inward fall
ing of matter toward these centers the
collision of its particles and their fric
tion upon each other the material
masses grew hotter and hotter Nebu
lae seeming to fill the entire heavens
were formed luminous fire mist like
the filmy objects still seen in the sky
though vaster and exceedingly numer
ous This process is supposed to
have gone on for countless ages faster
in some regions than In others Many
million nebulae were formed and set in
rotation around their own axes This
happily can be explained by science
Whenever particles are attracted to
ward a center and are kept from fail
ing directly to this center a whirlpool
is formed rotating in one direction
An example of this though humble
and not exactly analogous is the rota
tion of water in a basin when the stop
per is pulled out of the bottom Gravi
ty attracts the water immediately
above the hole which starts flowing
out ths leaving a space to be filled
The rest of the water rushes in from
all sides to do this and the whirlpool
is the result
Now each of these whirling nebulae
became exceedingly hot and each
formed what is known as a star or
sun our sun being one The earth
and other planets had not then come
into separate existence of course as
it is supposed that they were thrown
off later from the sun
Our sun in its nebulous form and ro
tating swiftly on its axis gradually
flattened at its poles on account of
centrifugal motion This phenomenon
is entirely familiar to those who have
seen a ball of clay on a potters wheel
gradually flatten The motion was so
swift and the mass so nebulous that
the sun to be took the shape of a disk
As time went on the outer part be
came cool and somewhat rigid while
the inner part continued its cooling
and contracting Thus the inner part
drew away from the outer leaving a
ring of matter whirling around on the
outside Tins breaking off of the ring
is supposed to be hastened by the in
ability of the outside to keep up the
swift motion of the central mass both
on account of the slight cohesion and
of the centrifugal force But this par
ticular part of the argument has noth
ing to stand on if the first law of mo
tion is true
In the successive stages of the suns
contraction this process was repeated
over and over again until several
rings were whirling around the central
orb They would necessarily be in
the same plane Now these rings not
being unitorm in mass or thickness
would each gradually accumulate to
ward the densest portion until they
too would form a ball which would
subsequently flatten and if the sub
stance continued nebulous and the ball
was large enough they would also
slough rings
Of course the rings the sun discard
ed have become the planets which as
required by the theory are all very
nearly in the same plane The ring
that the planets formed have become
iiiodiis or satellites So we are driven
to conclude that our sun at one time
filled all the space from his present
position to the farthest planet in the
solar system
From this theory there is another
thing that we have to believe and that
N that every star in the heavens has
gone through this same process and
has a family ot planets sailing around
it jut as our sun has It would be
impossible to see these planets of
course for it i impossible to see a
star even with the greatest telescope
except as a mere point of light
As regard- the proving of this neb
ula hypothesis of course it cannot be
done Hut everything points to its ac
curacy Many nebulae are seen even
now among the stars that seem to be
going thror h the delayed process of
world forming Around one of the
planets ot our own solar system Sat
urn are three rings which are proba
bly destined in time to become moons
