The Last Man.

What will become of the last man l?
Various theories that have been serious
ly maintained by scientific men are de-
the New York Sun summarizes them ::
l. The surface of the earth is steadily
diminishing, elevated regions are being
lowered, and the seas are filling up.
The land will at last be all submerged,
and the last man will be starved or
drowned. 2. The ice is gradually accu-
mulating at the North pole and melting
away at the South pole, the consequence
Of which will be an awful catastrophe
when the earth's center of gravity sud
denly changes. The last man will then
he drowned by the rush of waters. 3.
The earth cannot always escape a col
lision with comet, and when the disas-
ter 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. 4. There is a retarding
medium in space, causing gradual loss
of velocity in the planets, and the earth,
obeying the law Of gravitation, will get
closer and closer to the sun. The last
man will be sunstruck. 5. The amount

in quantity and quality. Finally the
earth will be an arid waste, like the
moon. The last man will be suffocated
6. Other suns have disappeared, and
ours must, sooner or later, blaze up and
then disappear. The intense heat of the
confagration will kill every living
thing on earth. The last man will be
burned up. 7. The suns fire will gradu-
ally burn ont, and the temperature will
cool. The earth's glacial zones will en-
large, driving our race toward the equa-
tor, until the habitable space will lessen
to nothing. The last man will be frozen
to death. 8. A gradual cooling of the
earth will produce enormous assures,
like those seen in the moon. The sur
face will become extremely unstable,
until the remnant of humanity will take
refuge in caves. The last man will be
crushed in his snbterranean retreat. g..
The earth will at last separate into small
fragments, leaving the people without
any foothold. The last man will have a
dreadful fall through space. 10. The
tenth theory, proving that there will be
no last man at all, is thus expressed
Evolution does not necessarily imply
progress, and possibly the race may have

tant will spontaneously produce pos

4 Wonderful Timnnipcp.

Theodore Rohrer, Matchmaker of
Newcastle, has invented piece of mech
anism which is thus described 1t con-
sists of set of gold studs, in one of
which is q miniature watch, which keeps
excellent time. The combined weight
of the two studs and watch, which are
connected together, is one and one-half
ounces. The face of the watch is about
the size of a silver three-cent piece, and
with its surroundings of gold it looks
much like small compass. When the
watch and studs are on the shirt front
they are about two inches apart, and by
turning the upper one lin the same man
ner that stem winding watch is wound)
the timepiece is wound. In setting the
hand the lower stud is revolved. The
most remarkable thing about the time
piece is that it is not like ordinary
watches, but has dial resembling that
of clock. The pendulum will move
correctly in whatever position the watch
is placed, even when it is reversed and
run at the top instead of the bottom.

The Black Sea.

The Black sea, which is becoming the
scene Of stirring events in the Russo
Turkish war, is remarkable body of
water. It is about seven hundred miles
long in it's longest direction, and has an
extreme width of about three hundred
and eighty miles, being three-fOurths
than twice as wide. Its depth is from
four to forty-eight fathoms near shore,
but in the middle no soundings have
been found at one hundred and sixty
fathoms. The greatest depth of Lake
superior is two hundred fathoms. The
BlackSsea is not, like our lakes, q fresh
water sea, but on the other hand it con-
tains one-seventh less salt than ocean
water, and is held to receive one-third
the running water of Europe. The
puzzle is, what becomes of all this fresh
water, and how the Black sea retains it's
saltness. The sea is tideless. There is
no perceptible current toward the Medi-
terranean. 1t has the same level as the
sea of Marmora. The outlet by the
BosphOrus, even were there a strong
current, would be INSULT ,ient to- dis
charge the immense volumes of water
constantly pouring into the inland sea,
and it scarcely seems credible that the
evaporation is sufficient to carry off the
surplus water. Like our own lakes, it is
subject to frequent storms, but naviga-
ton is not perilous, and extensive
steam navigation is carried on. There
are several islands near the mouth of
the Danube, but the sea is singularly
free from rocks and shoals. The sea of
Azov, which is connected with the Black
sea by the narrow strait of Yenikale, is
much smaller, being only about one hun
dred and sixty-eight miles long and
eighty broad. Its waters are fresh and
abound with fish, but are very shallow,
and fall off toward the west into huge
marshes, which have been aptly named
the Putrid sea. 1t is of comparatively
little Importance for purposes of naviga-
tion, though it has several ports and
rOadsteads.

CnriOuS Chinese FeaSts.

The first day of the New Years feasts
is called by the Chinese Birds Day
Ray-Yat), and is intended to bring to
mind the utility of the feathered tribes
rs food. On this day the Chinese are
expected to abstain from eating flesh,
and it is frequently observed as day of
fasting. The second day is Dogs Day
(Ku-Yat) According to Russian
writer, the Chinese honor the dog so
much that they have workmen whose
especial business it is to make coffins for
dead dogs. They believe that the life of
one of their sages was saved by a dog
killing and eating the man who attempt
ed to murder him, and yet the Chinese
eat the flesh of the dog. which they
consider a great delicacy.
The third day, Hogs Day (Chen-Yat),
is celebrated in honor of hog that drew
a valuable manuscript out of fire. The
Chinese honor this animal by making it's
flesh their principal dish on this festive
occasion. The fourth day, Sleeps Day
(Yaong- YaD. is specially honored in
memory of Pun-Koon- Venga, a shep-
herd who clothed himself with the bark
of trees, and refused to make use of any
part of the sheep either for food or
clothing. The fifth day is Cows Day
New YaD. This day is consecrated to
the COW that sucked an orphan, who after
ward became Mandarin, and built tenn
pie in honor of the COW. Ma-Yat, or
Horse Day, the sixth day, is set apart to
call to mind the usefulness of this
animal. al.-Dunab animals.

How the Cinnamon Fly Kites.

The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise says !:
" Yesterday noon the residents of the
eastern portion of the city We're sur
prised by the appearance in the heavens
of fiery, flying serpent of immense di-
mensions. Its head appeared lurid
flame, while its eyes rolledas if in search
of victims. Its motions through the air,
as it billowed here and there, were like
the contortions of huge snake. This
monster was Chinese kite. Its head
was red paper, with eyes half red and
half white, which rolled as the wind
found its way through the apertures
representing the sockets. This head-kite
was followed by eighteen others, about
eighteen inches apart, made of tinted
paper, oblong in shape, through the
center of which passed slender rattans,
the tips extending some distance on each
side, and trimmed with fre-red paper
tassels. Similar tassels along the tail
and pendant from the head gave the
whole an appearance truly startling"

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

It would be well if we had less NELL
cine and more cures less cant and more
piety less law and more justice.
We touch not wire but it vlbrates in
eternity, and there is not n voice that
reports not at the throne of heaven.
The tall mountains are the sublime
apostles of nature, whose surplices are
SHOWS, and sermons are avalanches
Commune often with yourself. No
doubt you might commune with much
wiser persons, but with none more profit
ably.
Give little to those who ask, even
though you suspect them to be lmpos--
tors. 1t may not do good to them, but
it will to you.
Majestically mournful are the words
"no more" They sound like the roar
of the wind through forest of pines.
Beauties often die old maids. They
set such value on themselves, that
they don't find a purchaser until the
market is closed.
The mind is weak when it has once
given way it is long before principle
restored can become as firm as one that
has never been moved.
The man who walks Ca thousand
miles in thousand hours is more gen.
orally admired than he who walks up
rightly through three score years and
ten.
The expectation of future happiness is
the best relief of anxious thoughts, the
most perfect cure of melancholy, the
p1lide of life. and the comfort of death,
Morality without religion is only q
kind of dead reckoning-an endeavor to
find our place on cloudy sea by meas
uring the distance we have run, and
without any observation of the heavenly
bodies.
OF little human flowers, death gathers
many. He places them upon his bosom,
and he is transformed into something
less terrific than before. We learn to
gaze and shudder not, for he carries in
his arms the sweet blossom of our earthly
hopes.
Men glory in raising great and mag
nificent structures, and find secret
pleasure to see "sets" of their own
planting to grow up and flourish but
surely it is q greater and more glorious
work to build up man-to see a youth
of our own planting, from the small be-
ginnings and advantages we have given
him, to grow up into a considerable fer
tune, and to take root in the world, and
to shoot up into such a height and
spread his branches so wide, that we,
who first planted him, may ourselves find
comfort and shelter under his shadow.

Fighting Rattlesnakes.

Arthur and William McCarty, of the
Shohola Falls Hotel, eight miles south
west of Lackawaxen station, Pa, went
trouting in the Taylortown creek, which
empties into the Delaware at Carrs
Rock. The settlement of Taylortown is
in q donse forest at the foot of high
mountains. A short distance below that
point they we're stopped by the shrill
signal of rattlesnake. Selling clubs,
they started in the direction of the
sound, and, walking few rods, mounted
q small ledge of rocks. The noise Of
rattlesnakes was heard in the brush be-
meath them. Arthur McCarty leaned
over the ledge and saw two monster
snakes coiled upon stones, and their
tails wriggling fiercely. Taking a
roundabout way, the men approached
them. AS they neared them a fierce
buzzing broke upon them, and peering
through the thicket upon stony mound,
their eyes beheld a terrible picture. The
spot was like black moving mass, SO
thick were the snakes. Though at first
startled, the courage of the fishermen
did not fail them. Walking cautiously
toward the den, the battle began. The
encounter lasted several minutes, and
seventy-two of the reptiles were killed.
The remainder, estimated at two hun
dred, escaped. Those killed measured
from three and half to four and half
feet in length, and several had twenty
three rattles. The fishermen wore high
leather fishing boots, and were several
times struck by the reptiles.
This den is about two miles from the
celebrated Bald Hill den, at which two
New York gentlemen, who were passing
through the woods few years ago, had
desperate encounter and killed nearly
three hundred snakes. Although the
surrounding country is thickly popu-
lated, no one was ever known to have
been bitten. The Bald Hill den was
discovered about fifty years ago, by u
hunter named Samuel Helms, who, every
spring, would capture a number of the
largest snakes, and exhibit them
throughout the country. Some of the
most noted trout streams of northern
Pennsylvania run through this snaky
country, and are seldom fshed, on ac-
count of the great number of snakes
usually found along the banks of the
streams.
