WINGS THAT
WERE FINS
Evidence That Penguin's Pinions Were
Once Used For Swimming.
Ornithological puzzles are the pen
guins, with their curiously shaped
wings and odd. unblrdllke, upright car
riage. The peculiarities of their wings
suggest that the penguins are descend
ants of birds which used their wings
rather than logs In the pursuit of prey
under water, and as the struggle In
tensified between the competing Indi
viduals the most expert at this sort of
swimming would get the most food
and oust less successful rivals. The
winners gained advantage over their
neighbors in proportion as their wings
Improved as swimming organs and ln
f versel.v and of necessity became less
suited to perform the work of flight.
In all other birds the feathers, though
shed annually, are more or less grad
ually displaced. Hut in the penguins
the new feathers all start Into being at
the same time and thrust out the old
feathers upon their tips so that these
come away in great flakes. Whereas
I lu all birds save penguins the new
feathers as they thrust their way
through the skin end In pencil-like
points, formed by investing sheaths.
In the penguins these sheaths are oi>en
at the tips and attached by their rims
to the roots of the old feathers, and
hence these are held to their succes
sors uutil they have attained a sutli
: dent length to insure protection against
cold.
The curious device for retaining the
warmth afforded by the old feathers
uutil the new generation can fill their
places is apparently due to the fact
that penguins are natives of the ant
aretie regions, although some now In
habit tropical seas.? Chicago Tribune.

THE CHt
OF WORLDS.
What Would Happan If a Dead Suit
Invaded Our Solar 8y(tem.
It Is possible, though It Is not prov
ed, that stars may sometimes ap
proach one another and even ""leap
madly from their spheres." ' ''What
would happen were an unknown star
or a dead suu to invade otlr solar sys
tem?" asks a writer In the Lohdin 'Il
lustrated News, who answers his que
ry in two ways. In the first place, the
star might rush straight Into' the sun
and by the heat of the collision re
duce the suu and all Its planets to a
I nebulous mass without form or struc
ture. But It Is more mathematically
probable that just as comets approach,'
circle and recede from the Bun, so the
starry luvader of our system would
approach our system and recede from
It, having altered it beyond recogni
tion.
But what would be Its effect upon
our sun? The suu as we know it
today Is explosively elastic. Great
tongues of fiame which would con
sume a little planet like ours at a
mouthful continually leap from it
with speeds of several hundred miles
n second. This enormous explosive
force Is restrained only by the greater
force of the sun's gravity. But If an
approaching star as great as the sun
came within striking distance Of it
then along the line joining the two
bodies, each would begin to pull the
other, as today the moon pulls up the
earth's oceans.
The mighty pull of the invading star
would neutralize the sun's gravity in
! one direction, and the sun would, in a
I sense, explode. Out 'from our ances
| tral sun and from opposite sides of
; it would fly two great lengthening
| arms of matter, reaching far beyond
| the farthest planet. 4 ' As the star
passed, Its moving mass would give a
further twist to the sun and would
pull the arms of mfttter'into the shape
! of a great double spiral. Form and
j motion would thus be imparted to the
nebula thus created, and from the
solar system thus extinguished in ca
| tastrophe a new sun. with planets con
densing from the lumps and inequali
ties In the projecting arms, would
arise.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
