London A feature of post-war Journalism has been the renaissance of the Daily Telcaraph, which rose to prominence under the proprietor- ship of the first Lord Burnham in the last part of the 19th Century.

Under new proprietors and the chairmanship of Lord Camrose, the paper's circulation hos risen in six years from under 100,000 to over 500,000, This 13 " remarkable serious penny onper, which has not resorted -to free gifts and other circulation raising devices.

Blackpool, Sept. 21. A new theory of time which may effect as profound alterations in man's ideas of the universe as Einstein's theory of relativity provided the first big surprise of the British Association's meeting here to-day.

Its exponent was Professor E, A. Milne, of Oxford, and the j occasion a discussion on the birth of the earth and planets.

CLOCK TESTS

Judged by the atomic clock, the pendulum (or domestic) clock is running progressively more slowly. Judged by the pendulum clock the atomic clock is continuously gaining speed. This strange conception is part of a general mathematical theory which Professor Milne claims:

1. For happenings "here and now,"

the New- on the earth reduces to tanian or common-sense view of the world.

2. Where high speeds are involved, as in the case of atomic particles, the theory reproduces Einstein's theory of relativity. But at no other stage in history would the two give the same result.

A Paper System

"I know," he added, "that theory is a difficult one. It has to be remembered, however, that we have: no particular reason for supposing that atoms keep the same time du. say, a pendulum. Nor, I think, is it any more diffleult to imagine that there should be two kinds of time, than to regard time, as Einstein asked us.to do, as a fourth dimension." A Curious Result

One curious result of Professor Milne's theory is that on the "pendu- lum" clock scale the universe has on Infinitely long past, whereas on the "atoms and stars" scale It had n definite beginning.

Similarly on the first time scale, space is infinite, and on the second It is limited in extent On the first time scale there Is no extension of the universe, but on the second 'there is. It is, Professor Milne ex- plained in terms of the

or atomic time scale that the obser- ved extension of the universe la measured.

The theory slo imples that Nature's laws are not fixed, but are progressively modified with the pas sage of time. "Nature," Professor Milne stated, "has no principles."

Two new theories of the birth of the planets had earlier been discuss- ed by Sir James. One, which our sun originally had a companion star, the two eirling round one an other. Another' star then arrived on the scene, stole the sun's

partner, and vanished, again into space, leay- ing only a family of planets as a memento of its visit. These are rup- posed to have been drawn out of the sun's lost partner by the tides caused on its surface by the rival of the home-breaking star.

Second New Theory

The second new theory, due to Dr. H. Jeffreys of Cambridge, is that another star had a grazlong collision with the sun, the planets being squeezed out the process, as it were between the upper and nether mill- stones.

These two theories were, at the time Sir James spoke, only ones which would satisfy all the matho- matical tests which it was possible. to apply to such theories. His own theory, which he had long held and different from either, he Which is was apparently prepared to abandon.
