Its formation I the direct result of certain proposals formulated last | August at Silver Bay, N. Y., by a com- mission of whiech G. G. Wallace of Omaha was chairman. The proposals of the com- mission, in turn, resulted from resolutions adopted at the triennial convantion of the | International Sunday School assoclation, held at Loulsville, Ky., in 1007. These res- olutlons recommended the preparation of graded courses for the Sunday schools as soon as possible. This fall the graded courses were réddy for the beginners' and | primary departments, and the first year of | the junior department, The x'l'm;lm\nu‘ grades are belng rapidly preparad at the | present time. | The natlonal gonference of the Young Men's Christlan association secretaries of | North America, which .convened in Omaha, June 1 t& 9 of this yenr, expressed the pur- pose of the Young Men's Ohristian assocla- tion to be to aldl eachi laeal church and Sun- day school Ih winhing the boys and men of its community. .Following a conference of | the local churohes and Bunday schools the conference met In session October 3 and 4 last and adopted resolutlons fayoring the stablishment of general teacher training courses In this city; the grading of courses and of puplls In the various Bunday schools of our city; endorsement of the, organized adult Bible class movement: commending the International Sunday School associn- You will find where to buy the best birds of var- ious breeds un- der the head “POULTRY" in the want ads.

This course will be given Satui Capture Theory Gains Support. Prof. See, however, pointed out detalled reasons which, he claims, were absolutely Gecisive against the volcanic theory, and remarked that there would now be less difficulty in seeing the truth of the im- pact theory than formerly, because he had recently proven that the moon is not a part of the earth thrown off by rapld ro- tation, but a planet captured from space. The new theory of the capture of the moon, he said, had been favorably re- celved by the scientific world, but it would be of still greater use in bringing to light other discoveries, such as those announced tonight. Dr. See sald the typical crater on the moon was a very large circular depression with steep walls inside and sloping walls | outside and a small peak in the center, | with the top of it below the average level | of the lunar surface. If any one supposed | the craters to be volcanic, it was impos- sible to account for the depressions where the craters stand, and no forces directed from within could dig up the circular trough about the peak in the center. Then, too, the way the craters lie over one an- other shows that they are nothing but satellite Indentations. About the newest craters, as Copernicus, Tycho, Aristarchul etc., the bright rays radiating in all diree- tion show that at the time of the collisions the force of the Impact was such that mat- ter was melted, vaporized and driven out from these centers in all directions. A satellite hitting the moon might have its temperature ralsed to 4,000 degrees or higher, and the bright rays from the craters were due to the spattering of highly heated matter.

But the shot fired In the mightiest target practice on the earth is as nothing com- pared to that in'the heavens, where satel- lites from twenty to fifty miles in dlame ter had been hurled against the lunar sur- face with a velocity of over a mile a sec- ond, and thus produced blazing conflagra- tions sometimes covering the whole side of the moon, Prof. See pointed out that many of the craters are largely covered with cosmical dust, a kind of metallle or lithic rain, which had fallen from such conflagration There is no air about the moon in which it could long remain suspended., He said | tlan assoclation.

A party, which Louls Sacco, Carmine Grandenett! and Pasquale Mercurlo, now of Des Moines, attended in Manaca, Pa., resulted in" a quarrel Sacco shot and kil'ed Carmine Grandenett! and wounded a cousin of the latter, Pasquale Mercurio. The murderer escaped and was never scen last spring. Mercurio, who was had moved to Des Molnes, and while secking employment in a rallroad grading gang, saw and {den- tified Louls Sacco. He spoke to Sacco about the crime, but the latter claimed to have no knowledge of the affair. Mercurlo then went in search of an of- ficer to arrest Sacco, but the latter fled before he rettirned with the officer. Mer- curlo then notiffed the cousins, Rosario and Vincenzo Grandenetti, of the affalr, and they notified the police. Nothing more seen of Sacco until about three months ago, when he was seen on the streets of Omaha by Vincenzo Grandenettl, another cousin of the mur- dered man and of the Des Molnes rel tive. Vincenzo Grandenetti of Omaha then notified the po’ice, who have been looking for Sacco, but failed to get any trace of him. Sacco was seen on the street Friday and the arrest resulted. The sheriff of Beaver county, Pennsyl- vania, has been notifled and the local police are awaiting Instructions. Sacco, when confronted by Vincenzo Grandenett! at the police station yesterday, first re- fused to recognite him, but later finally acknowledged scquaintance and avolded him. Rosarlo - Grandenetti, a brother of Vincenzo, both of Omaha, was at the po- lice station, but did not know Sacco, The crime was a céld-blooded one. Sacco possceses two ‘elty lots in Monaca and had more than $600 on deposit in one of the banks of the city when he committed the crime, but'he has fal’ed to claim it, thinking that ¥hé claim would give the officers a club ‘fo his whereabouts and result in his atrest, Pasquale Mefcurlo of Des Moines, who was shot ‘and fiijured by Sacco when his cousin was murdered, has been notiffed and 18 expectéd to arrive here today to ideptity Bacco.

Lack of Afr Preserves Effect “The roughness of the surface of our moon shows how many hard knocks it has recelved In the past. Every planet has gone through a similar experience, but those having atmosphere and ocean the earth, have suffered such great geo- logical changes that they have long since lost all trace of anclent battering, while these indentatlons have survived in the air- less and waterless moon to show us the terrific _ process by which worlds are formed,” declared Prof. See. In a second paper presented tonight, Dr. Bee explained the obliquities of the planets by the impact of satellites against their surfaces. He sald he had discovered the cause of the obliquities from the case of Juplter, whose axis is nearly perpendicular to the plame of his orbit. At one time Juplter's obliquity was larger than that of the earth, or even Saturn, 28 degrees; but as the greatest of the planets had gathered in satellites moving about the sun in planes having the average position of the Jovian orbit, the equator had been tilted down almost into coincidence with it. In this way had arisen the small obliquity of Jupi- ter, and a similar Influence had acted upon the other planets.

Plans are being prepared and work will soon start to make this as fine and beauti- ful a shop as Is to be found anywhere. The lighting will be such as to make the store at night just as bright day. Windows will be put In the side, elegant show win- dows will be constructed and handsome new fixtures installed as rapidly as possible. All the old stock will be disposed of before removing, so 'hat the new shop will be opened with everything completely new. The business is conducted, as the firm name Indicates, by women. They have, through years of effort, bullt up an elegant trade, until now they occupy a position that is unique In Omaha.
