Planets arc continually integratiug
diEased materials which they encounter
in their progress through space, and it
has been estimated that tho earth adds
to Itself nearly ono hundred anil fifty
billions Of such meteoric PARTICLES every
year. Secondly, it has been proved that
every planet must be slowly losing q
part Of its mOiar motion Of rotation.
The effect OF tidal waves, which are
caused by the grsvitation OF liquid to-
ward other planetary bodies, is to re
tard diurual rotation; and, in feet, the
terrestrial day is heightened by reason
of the friction of the tides, and It is des-
tined in the remote future to give about
$50 hours between sunrise and sunset.
The earth is also losing molecular mo-
ton 10y radiation. That some terres-
trial heat is lost without compensation
and very slowly, ofcourse--can hard.
ly be doubted, and for the state fittings
thus ultimately to be produced we may
find a parallel in the present condition
Of the moon, That appears to afford al
example Of the universal death which,
in an iuconceiyably distant future,
awaits the entire solar system, II, along
with the dissipation of the molar and
molecular motions, tho planets arc also
losing angular velocity, this loss Of mo-
ton will ultimately result in their integ-
ration with the sun. Oitwo facts which
bear upon the subject, one Familiar to
NIL the students Of %science) is the obaery-
ed retardation Of Eucke'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 arc nearer the sun
than they ought to ~be,according to Bodies
law, the variations being most conspic-
uous, as might he expected, in tho case
of Neptune. 1t is at least worthy Of no
tice that the Discrepancy is such rs
might have been caused by u slow di-
intuition Of the angular velocitie8 OF the
planets. Another fact, TINT the inter-
planetary spaces are filed with matter
and that, consequently all planetary
bodies rushing through them must meet
with resistance and lose momentum,
proves that immense momentum will DO
eaten up by the resistance forco. This
less Of t~angeutial momentum must bring
all the planets into the sun. As the
planet slowly draws near the sun, its
lost tangent!al momentum N replaced,
and somewhat mora than replaced, by
the added velocity duo to the increased
g~ravitative force exerted by the sun at
tho shorter distance. At tie last tho
planet mus strike the sun with trcmeu-
deus force. The heat generated by the
earth and The sun alone in such n coils
ion would suffice to produce Il tompera-
ture Of nearly 100000 degrees cent?
grade. OF course d~isintcgratIon would
Immediately follow, and the next stage
is the dissipation Of the who!e into q

A Shrewd DOdge-COnYerting New
Issue of the Bank of Tennessee
Into Old.

The Nashville Banner Of the Goth
states that on the day previous, while en-
gagged in asserting Bank of Tennessee
money preparatory to its cancellation,
Treasurer Morrow came across a fifty dol
lar bill which was really of the new issue,
but had been converted into u spurious
bill of the old issue, and thus passed off
on a Collector in Shelby county. The bill
was originally signed by Torbett. but this
signature has been removed by some sort
of chemical, and that of Granville p.
Smith, who was President before Torbett,
when what is known as the old issue, was
made, was inserted in its stead. Treasurer
Morrow though he discovered by cowpar-
ison with other signatures of G. p. Smith
tina, this signature was counterfeit and in
ink that was too fresh for the other writing
on the bill. He, therefore, carried itdown
town to a bank, aud upon close inspection,
the difference was readily detected. The
counterfeit signature was more even and
generally better written than G. P. Smiths
signature. We learn from good authority
that u number of these bills are aAoat
through the country, or were sometime
ago, aud if the Torbett signature has been
as effectually removed as in this instance,
ard, at the same time, the Smith sigma.
turo has been a little more closely imita.
ted, the bills might we'll be taken for gen.
uine ones Of the old issue. Even this bill
passed with three or four officers. The
value of the old is nearly three times al
great as that Of the new, and hence the
induccment to make the former out O
the latter.

Ricerille Lodge,

This Lodge of Good Tomplars was or
ganired the FIRST Of May last With 81
charter members. II now numbers one
hundred and t~wenty-,hrec members. This
beats anything we have heard Of in the
great Temperance Reform.
Swe.twatsr Ledge has been organized
about five months and only numbers ~
members. There is plenty Of material
to work upon, but there is something in
the way. Tbs members we fear are not
working as they should. Wake up! Go
to work in earuesti Don't let other lodges
get 80 far ahead of ours! If we will only
work, our Lodge will, in short time,
number 200. Ricevillo, Philadelphia and
Loudon Lodges all number, taking into
consideration the length Of time they
have been working, more than ~Sweotwater
Lodge. There is no reason for this except
for the lack of interest on the part Of the
members. Every member can induce one
more at least to joiA. The lady mem-
bers should bring their influence to bear
upon others and induce them to enlist in
the cause. Will they do it! We hope SO.
