A historical fate impels Marshals oi
France TO be executed when they have
been called upon to answer for their
acts, and so Marshal Bazaine has the
disadvantage of precedent against him.
and although Goldsmith's saying that
precedent never sanctifes injustice ="
may be true enough, yet it often hap
pens that men meet punishment merely
because others have done so. Francis
/. created the Office of Marshal, and
since his time but FIVE men who have
held the position have been regularly
tried for their lives, and ali have been
executed. First Marshal de Retz was
hanged and his body burned in l440.
In 1902 Marshal Biron was decapitated
in the Place de Greve for conspiracy
against Henry Nv. Marshal de Maccil-
lac died in 1882 on the scaffold for con-
spiracy and rebellion against Cardinal
RicL4lieu; in the same year Marshal de
Montmorency suffered the same fate,
and in 1915 Marshal Ney was shot be-
cause he would not be guilty of treachery

How The World VIII End

Lecture of Prof. Fiske before the American
Geographical Society.l HNSN
Planets are continually integrating
diffused materials which they encounter
in their progress through space, and it
has been estimated that the earth adds
to itself nearly one hundred and fifty
billions of such meteoric particles every
year. Secondly, it has been proved that
every planet must be slowly losing a
part of its molar motion of rotation.
The effect of tidal waves, which are
caused by the gravitation Of liquid to-
ward d>other planetary bodies, is to re-
tard diurnal rotation; aud, in fact, the
terrestrial day is heightened by reason
of the friction of tides, and it is destined
in the remote future to give about four
hundred and eighty hours between sun
rise and sunset The earth is also los
ing molecular motion by radiation.
That some terrestrial heat is lost with
out compensation-and very slowly, of
course-can hardly be doubted, and for
the state of things thus ultimately to be
produced, we may find parallel in the
present condition of the moon That
appears to afford an example Of the
universal death which, in an inconceiva-
bly, distant future, awaits the entire solar
system. II, along with the dissipation
Of the molar and molecular motions, the
planets are also losiRg angular velocity,
the loss of motion willultimately result
in their integration with the sun. OF
two facts which bear upon the subject,
one familiar to all students of science)
is the observed retardation of Encke's
comet by the resistance of the medium
through which it moves. The other,
which, so far as know, has not hitherto
been mentioned, is that all the planets
are nearer the sun than they ought to
be, according to Bodies law, the varia-
tons being most conspicuous, as might
be expected, in the case Of Neptune. 1t
is at least worthy Of notice that the dis
crepancy is such as might have been
caused by a slow diminution of the
angular velocities Of the planets. An
other fact, that the interplanetary
spaces are filled with matter, and that,
consequently, all planetary bodies rush
ing through them must meet with re-
sistance and loss momentum, proves
that immense momentum will be eaten
up by the resistance force. This loss
OF tangential momentum must bring all
the planets into the sun. As the planet |
slowly draws near the sun its lost tam
genital momentum is replaced, and |
somewhat more than replaced, by the |
added velocity due 10 the increased
gravitative force exerted by the sun at
the short distance. At the last the
planet must strike the sun with tremen-
dous force. The heat generated by the
earth and the sun alone in snoh q col
lision would suffice to produce a temper
ature of nearly five million degrees CEN
tigrade. OF course, disintegration would
Immediately follow, and the next stage is
the dissipation Of the whole into q
