ED. WEIGHT'S DISOOVEEY.
The Great Hypothesis of Shrinkage.
.How It Developed From His Experience.
Ed. Wright returned yesterday from a
seven weeks' trip east, during which he
traveled 13,000 miles; he was in two col
lisions and had several narrow escapes,
but the luck that sunounds a newspaper
man stood him in good stead and" he
escaped unhurt.
During his visit to Dubuque, Iowa, and
Potosi, Wisconsin, and the valley of the
Connecticut, in which latter place he
spent his j-outhful years, he says he was
surprised to see how ovcrything had
shrunk up, and he has written a little
book on this matter of shrinkage.
That tho globe is slowly shrinking as it
cools is conceded by all scientific persons.
That all things shrink with age after ar
riving at maturity i3, however, equally
true, although it is not mentioned in sci
entific text-books, .and, in fact, has never
been formally asserted as a scientific
truth prior to this monograph. "Wright
presents his theory or universal snnnK
age as a hypothesis and not an estab
lished fact. The evidence in support of
it is, however, so convincing that few
persons will be able to doubt its truth.
His attention was called to the subject
while on hi3 recent visit to Connecticut
to see his grandmother. He was at the
time visiting his native town in tho val
ley of the Connecticut, which he had left
when he was twelve years old, and had
never before revisited. Daring all these
years he had preserved a most lively rec
ollection of his birthplace. He remem
bered that the house in which he was
born was an immense frame building
about the size of the O. It. & N. dock.
Ho could plainly recall the wide street of
tho village, lined with imposing edifices,
among which towered the" vast Congrega
tional meeting house, which was one of
the largest buildings on the continent.
Separated from his father's house by a
broad meadow hardly less than a mile
wide was a majestic river in which
Wright was accustomed to bathe his
youthful person, and from which he
drew with his juvenile hook and line
"shiners" and dace of the average weight
of from one to two pounds. The most
perfect photograph could not have fur
nished a more truthful and vivid picture
of his native village than tho one he car
ried in his memory for half a century.
On revisiting the place this summer he
was at once struok by the enormous
shrinkage that everything had under
gone. Tho ancestral mansion had shrunk
to at least one-half of its original size,
and was now a small wooden cottage.
The wide street bad become a mere
country lane. Tho imposing residences
of judge Smith and of deacon Brown
were not much larger than the Wright
mansion, and as for the Congregational
meeting house, it had shrunk so much
that, instead of holding the ten or fifteen
thousand persons that Wright distinctly
remembers to have seen within its walls
on Thanksgiving day, it could now hold
not more than six or seven hundred.
Furthermore, the majestic river had be
come a mere brook, and the shrinkage
of the meadow had brought it within a
stone's throw of the house.
Such extensiye changes as these nattu
rally filled him with astonishnjent,
mingled with the scientific desire to in
vent a hypothesis to account for them.
Of the facts there could be no possible
doubt, for not only did he possess a re
markably good memory, but also the
skill in accurately measuring distances
and magnitudes by tho eye, has often
challenged the admiration of his friends.
There was a tremendous shrinkage in
land, water and buildings, and it was a
priori probable that it was due to one
and the same oause.
Now, he knew that the gradual cooling
of the earth was causing a constant
shrinking in its circumference, but it
was hardly probable that the rate of
shrinkage should be the same over every
square mile of the earth's surface. Evi
dently tho rate of shrinkage at his native
town had been exceptionally rapid, and
this explained the great changes which
bad taken placo in the width of the
street, tho meadow, and the river. The
shrinkage in the size of the houses had
kept pace with the shrinkage in the laud,
and that it was due to tho eame cause,
namely, a gradual process of cooling,
which is tho concomitant of age, was a
hypothesis whioh Wright lost no time in
formulating.
This theory is briefly as follews: Loss
of heat in nearly all material substances
is followed by reduction in size. Tho
earth decreases in size as its internal
fires grow less fervent, and buildings,
whether of wood, brick or stone, must
shrink, for the reason that heat, being a
mode of motion, and the component
parts of a house "being immovable, tho
latter inevitably grow cooler tho longer
they remain at rest, and ns they grow
cooler they shrink. The process may,
from reasons whioh we do not as yet un
derstand, proceed more rapidly in one
placo than in another, but it fs every
where in progress. This theory enables
us to understand why the ancients called
buildings gigantic the remains of which
now appear to us those of comparatively
small buildings. Indeed, Wright has
calculated that the pyramids 01 Cheops,
provided Marietto Bey is right in giving
them the age 6f 7,000 years, must have
been nearly one third larger at the time
they were built than they now are.
This hypothesis is undoubtedly one of
the most remarkable of modern contri
butions to soience, and tho more ono
studies it the more it becomes evident
that tins hypothesis supplies a manifest
want which nearly all men f6el when, af
ter niany years, they revisit the home of
their childhood.
