LECTURE BY PROF. COLDERT. Prof, Elins Colbort lectured yestorday aftor- noon at MeCormick Holl, boforo the Sunday Lecture Sooloty, on ' Tho Nebular Hypothesis.” Tho audionco wan large and appreciative, Tho following is on abstract of the cagay : Tho speaker said that tho probable proccss of world formation, 2a accounted for by tho nebular hypothesis, had recently boon very widoly discussed: not alwaya {ntelligontly, tt ‘waa, howovor, no now apecutation, ag many.sur- posod, being ono of tho oldont of tho idoas that wecan traco through the mists of homan bis- tory, ond grained into tho human mind almost as ceoply oa tho beliof in tho immortality of tho soul, Our firat traces of it are fonnd in tho roo- ords called Mosuic, but the account given in tho Biblo indicates that the story was. compiled from moro avcient writings than the pentatouch. Tho nebular thoory has often boon stated con- sisoly enough, but there ara mavy who oxperl- once great diMculty in undorstanding it, a8 the statement gives them little clue to tho origin of tho forces which permoato matter. The great stumbling block scomato be that no adequate cause fs assigned for tho onormous tomporatures claimod for tho aun and stare, and tho interior of our own globo ; in consoquonce of mich vory mavy people doubt the ono snd dony tho othor. A groat deal of nonsonse has beon written with- in tho past ton years in the attempt to prove tant the oarth’s interior in cold, and that tho solar tomparaturo may bo no higher than that of ico on the surface of this planot, Tho oxporimouts of Count Humford, born an an Americas, made noar tho close of tho Inst century, first proved that beat is a mode of mo- tion, The, exact equivalent was doterminod fifty yoard afterwards by Dr. J.P. Joulo, of Manchoater, England. That gontioman found that the force neccesary to raleo a pound of wator to the hoight of 772 foot would, if applied Inanother way, raieo tho temporatturo of tho water ono dogroo‘of the Fahroubeit scale. In that Jatitude 8 fall through 772 foot cnunea o Anal velocity of 223 foot par accond ; and that is thooquivalent of ono dogreo of temperaturo. We now know that tho force varics as the squaro of the volocity. Applying this principle to tho hoavenly bodies, wo find that the mutaal attrac. ton of tho carth aud moon causas our satollite to fall from a tangent to her orbit ono-ninoteonth of au inch in one seo ond; and thatif her forward motion wore do- stroyed, she wwottld fall to tho oarth in four days and twonty hours, striking tho earth's surfaco with a volocity of 6.9(nosrly 7) milos por aco- ond, That would raiso tho tomporature of both sovoral thousand dogrees, nnd destroy all life on this planct, Similarly, the oarth, if sho shonld fail into the sun from her presont distance, wonld start with a volocity of ono-ninth of an inch per second, and ond, aftor the Inpse uf Git¢ days, with # volooity of 279 miles per second. With this koy to tho mystory wocan calculato that tho falling together of the atoms of which tho stin is composod was sufliciont to generato a temperature of fully 75,000,000 degrecs. ‘I'ho forco of attraction ia therofore o euiticient cause for tho hoat of tho sun and other stara. ‘Wo now know that heat, light, cloctricity, mag- notism, and chomical attraction, aro co-ordinate forces, Manoan change one into tha other, undor appropriate conditions ; or, rathor, wo can- not educe a mauifostation of one of these forces without evolving the action of ono or moro of the rest. For foatanco ; wo cannot effoct the cbemi- cal combination of two or moro substanvos with- out a change of tomporature; and, gonorally, avory changg of molocular formis occompaniod by eloctrical oxcitement, while light is tha pro- duct of tomporature eloyated ubove cortsin well-known limits. ‘Tho leoturor said that, with this light on the subject, woe could understand the nebular thoory, sod approciato it asian ample explanation of the inflaitoly varying phonomeua of the cosmos. Ho thou took uptho theory of Laplace, snd sketched tho progross of a universe through its successive rtsgos of dovelopmont from tho primeval chaos—ne firo-mist, an unformod nebuls, s apiral aggregation of mattor, with motion around an axis, a8 8 ring-forming masa, throwing off the materini of futuro plansts ; and thon as a gonorator of comots and motcoric streama. The successive trausitions of star-life wero exomplified in tho white stars, as Hirlus ond Alphorstz; in tho yollow stars, as Capella, Vegs, and Altair; in the doopor yellow, to which class our sun belongs, baving a tomporary cruat; the rod stare, a8 Arcturus, Aldobaran, and Antaros; and tho spottod stars, morging into tho variablo ones, which wore fn tho last atago of luminosity prior to tutal oxtinction. Ha thon took up the planetary phavo, tho successive stages in which found occasional examples; in Jupiter, with his atmosphere deoply Iadon with yapor, tho earth with o partially ofcsrod aoria! onvolopo, Mars with o diminished ntmosphoro; and the moon eae dicd out-world, hor air and water having beon absorbed inte tho soliditled crust which surrounds tho slowly cooling interior matter, ‘Lhoao changes, rondorod possible by the grad- ‘ual radiation of the heat into surrounding space, wero accompantod by tho syolution oF light, olectricity, and chemical action. ‘That was ad- muttod soveral yenrs befora avon the acientitio world was propared to admit that the organic forcos aro also dao totho appulso of material atoms. ‘Ill within a yory fow yoars no one dared to ogsert that the animal; and cepecially tho human body, was uot sustained by u mlraou- Tous exertlon of vital force, outside the domain of ordinary chomistry. But.it ls vow well known that tho tomperaturo of the body ia maintained by tho burning of carbon in the tiesuos, ond that muscular forco is only exorted by virtuo of tho chemical combination or diunssoclation of ma- torial atoms, We can, therefore, trace back tho phystological ag woll’ as tho morely inorganio forces to tho one great material causo—the law of attraction, ‘This sciontifie view of the formation of worlda out of chaos, and the subsequent inaintenance of organized existence by tho mutual attraction ropuision of material atoms, ia not necossa- tly athoiatic.
