Terrible Predictions Of the American
Scientific Association.

Few know the terrible import of the re-
cent meeting of the American Scientific As
sociation at Portland. In its development
of new horrors in store for poor humanity it
was awfully prolific. Its members We'd with
each other in predictions of coming convul-
sions of nature, and sustained their argu-
guments with truths brought to light from
the deepest and darkest wells of science
That humanity was to be oblterated was
the gist of five papers read by five of the
most scientific, trusted and celebrated men,
bers of the association A terrible and total
extinction Of animal life. was foretold by all,
the only question being which Of the five
horrors shall first develope itself, and per-
form the work Of universal destruction.
THE sun TO BE EXTINGUIsHED.
Professor Young, the most eminent living
student of solar physics, read paper on the
sum- That body he argued, is gigantic
bubble, whose crust is gradually thickening
and whose size is diminishing. There is
constant loss of heat, which will end in its
extinction as producer of warmth and light.
Hc quoted Faye, Secchi and others to prove
that the material of the sun is gaseous, and
that these gases are retained by some kind
Of crust. Through this surface the tu-
multuous inner composition is constantly
squirting and outbreaking with great vio-
lence. He thinks that this crust "may con-
sist of sheet of descending rain-not of
water, of course, but Of the materials whose
vapors are known to exist in the solar at
mosphere, and whose condensation and com.
bination are supposed to furnish the solar
heat" AS this peculiar rain meets the CASE
GUS substance of the sun it coalesces into a
continuous sheet, forming ga sort of bottom
less ocean, resting upon the condensed va
pors underneath, and pierced by innumerable
jets and bubbles" This action
of the suns envelope will be quenching of
the great orb upon which we depend for
heat and light. 1t will grow smaller, and
moro compressed and surrounded by this
crust, until it will be so hidden and muficd
as to be practically excluded from the econo-
my of the universe The result will be in
tense cold and darkness, cessation of all
animal life, and an immediate return 70
original chaos.

DARKNESS, SILENCE AND DEATH.

Mr.. II. +. Walmg began an essay Oh
"The Dissipation of Energy" by saying:
"Since the days of the ancents it has been
known that all motion is gradually developed
by friction, and must finally cease unless
maintained by external power" The heat
power of the sun, which he regarded as the
motive power Of the earth, is being exhaust
ed by the prodigious lavishness Of its expen-
diture. 1t is supposed, he said, that the
satellite will fall into planets, planets into
suns, and suns into common centre, after
which darkness, silence and death will
reign" He was not without shadow Of
hope, however He saw two possible chances
for postponement, at least, of the dreadful
catastrophe: First, a series Of natural che
mical eyoutions attracting 90 the sun a vast
amount Of combustible material; aad. see
ond, the infinite magnitude Of tho universe
being sufficient to permit never ending
concentration Of masses. One dreaded ct'
feet of loss of sun power, he said, is dis,
placement of atmospheric forces Tidal in
huences or planetary collisii rs may hasten
the final dreadful catastrophe. which will b.
a slowing Of the machinery cf tho universe
until growing stagnation cuimina;es in to.
tai extinction of life forces

THE BUBBLE EARTH TO BURST.

Gen. J. G. Barnard described the interior
of the earth as molten fluid, Previous no.
tions had given the earth, however, Il rigid
exterior surface from one to two thousand
feet deep. He refuted this theory, and
claimed for the globe upon which We live
somewhat the construction Of rubber ball
filed with melted lead. The surface is, he
thinks, pliable coating that ha- been gradu-
ally formed over the fiery mass inside a
globular form is maintained by rapid rotary
motion, the inner fluid sustaining the soft
shell in its position, so that the unlulatiogs
are imperceptible to us. Thus we are being
whirled through space on huge giobule,
the surface OF which floats on an interior Of
liquid fire. Only the rotary speed Of this
bubble keeps it together, and any disarrangc-
ment or change in terrestrial phenomena
would resolve itself into vapor. General
Barnard does not believe that the surface is
of an essentially different composition from
the liquid interior-it has only been con,
densed sufficiently to form u sort of capsule.
The tenure of the worlds existence, there
fore, is exceedingly uncertain. Any great
disturbing infuence-the breaking out Of a
huge volcano, any change in the surface
that would render it brittle. the impact Of a
heavy meteor or comet-may, in moment,
immediate it, leaving humanity to whirling
death amid the horrors Of inorganic space.

CLARKE-At lhe residence of her son, in this
place, Monday. January -, 1872, Mrs. izabcth
Adams Clarke. in the 63rd year of her age.
The deceased was born at Conway, Mass April
A. 1910 By the death other father she was left, at
an early age, to the sole care of her mother,
woman of more than ordinary culture and refine
mcnt Thus under her personal care, and inner
iting from her a strong WILL she early developed
those peculiar traits of character for which she
was aftarward distinguished. and which gave her
so strong an influence over those with whom she
came in contact. AT the age of about fifteen She
commenced her career as teacher in public
school, and was afterward engaged, for = number
ofyears, IN various public and prvaicirsdtn tions
Curing which line she was preceptrcss in the a
cademies at Amherst, Mass, and Syracuse n. Y.
She came with her husband, the late Mr. Al
bert Clarke, 10 this place about eighteen years
ago and with him assisted in establishing those
religious and educational privileges that we now
SO largely enjoy. Although an invalid. during all
the time she lived in this place, her genial nature
drew 20 her many warm friends and led her to
take a lively interest IN all the incidents that
make up The history OF passing events. Her de-
parture will be most keenly felt by those whose
privilege ii was to know her best. Her life was
one of calm, patient aud cheerful waiting for the
call of the master. Her death was of assur
ance and peace; ''she sleeps in jesus Thus has
passed away fond mother, an intelligent mem
bcr of society, a good, kind ncighbor and a noble
Cnristain.
