Upper House Democrats Want Su

arate Bill.
_
Washington, l). C., April 22._
A three hours’ conference today
of Democratic members of the

would give opportunil y fur

OUR WORLD’S
LENGTHY JOURNEY
Our world’s journey in space
is a long one, if we are to accept
the conclusions yf Dr. Turner of
the university observatory of Ox
ford. and Prof. II. Plummer,
royal astronomer of Ireland.
Recent astronomical work sug
gests that I he sun and its plan
ets form a single uail in a vast
system, the sl.urs^' in which,
though separated by enormous
distances, have a common center
of gravity, and in response to
gravitation all move in unison
like a stupendous machine. The
paths of these stars, instead of
being nearly circular like Ifcose
of the planets around the sun, are
much like the oscillations of a
pendulum.
The calculations show I hat on
this 'elongate,d fourse our sun
musl travel tOO,000,000 years
before completing a revolution,
and that il passed near the cen
ter less Ilian a million—perhaps
not more than 300,000—years
ago. and is now on the outward
si retch.
