THE LAST MAN.

What will become of the last man?
Various theories that have been seri-
ousiy maintained by scientific men
are described in the Scientific
American and we summarize them:
l. The surface of the earth is steadi-
ly diminishing, elevated regions are
being lowered, and the seas are filling
up. The land will at last be all sub
merged, and the last man will be
starved or drowned.
2. The ice is gradually accumulat-
ing at the North Pole and melting
away at the South Pole, the conse-
quence of which will be an awful
catastrophe when the earth's center
of gravity suddenly changes. The
last man will then be drowned by the
great rush of waters.
8. The earth cannot always escape
a collision with a comet, and when
the disaster comes there will be a
mingling of air and cometary gas,
causing an explosion. If the last
man is not suffocated he will be blown
up.
A.. There is a retarding medium in
space, causing a gradual loss of We
locity in the planets, and the earth,
observing the law Of. gravitation, will
get closer and closer to the sun. The
last man will be sun-struck. ,
5. The amount of water on the
earth is is slowly diminishing, and
simultaneously the air is losing in
quantity and quality. Finally the
earth will he an arid waste, like the
moon. The last man will be suffocat-
ed.
6. Other suns have disappeared,
and ours must, sooner or later, blaze
up and then disappear. The intense
heat of the confagration will XII
every living thing on earth. The las
man will be burned up.
Z. The suns fire will gradually
burn out, and the temperature will
cool. The eartl's glacial zones vii
enlarge, driving our race toward tin
equator, until the habitabl'
space will lessen to nothing. The las
man will be frozen to death.
8. A gradual cooling of the cart
will produce enormous ~fissLres, lik
those seen in the moon. The surfac
will become extremely unstable, unit
the remnant of humanity will TAX
refuge in caves. The last man wi
be crushed in his subterranean re
treat.
0. The earth will at last separat
into small fragments, leaving the pee
pie without any foothold. The las
man will have a dreadful fall throug
space.
10. The tenth theory, proving ths
: there will be no last man at all, is thu
I expressed: Evolution does NJ
: necessarily imply progress, and POI
