The End Oj'the UOrld.

\ lecture delivered Mt tho Berlin
University some three months ago
by Professor Du Bois Raymond
bears the Oninous title, "Thc End OF
Our Worll," and says that every
movement Of our planet, with the
exception Of the cbb and flood, which
is caused BY tho attraction of tho
moon, is occasioned by solar heat.
As, however, the sun loses every
year Il portion of this Caloric, sci
cncc has lately come to the conclu.
sion that he will not exist as an
emittcr Of warmth more than seven
teen million years to come. Dur
ing that space Of time our earth
will get colder and colder, in pro-
portion MS the solar heat shall di-
minish. The ice will advance from
the poles to tho equator; the
earth's population will gradually
rcccdG before the advancing gla-
cies; the sun will become less and
less luminous, until he will present
the appearance of q dark.rcd ball ::
and finally ice will annihilatc all
vitality on our planet.

If YOU are gaining little by littlc
every day, be content. Are your
expenses less than your income, 50
that, OthouGh it bo little, you are
yet constantly accumulating and
growing richer and richer every
day? Be content; so far rs con-
cOrns money, you arc doing very

Arc YOU gaining knowledge ov-
cry day? Though it DO little by
little, the aggregate accumulation,
where no day is permitted 10 pass
without adding something to tho
stock, will bo surprisingto your
SELF.
Solomon did not become the wis
est man in the world in q minute.
Little by littlr--ncvcr emitting to
learn something even for n single
day-always reading, always stud
wing Il little between the time OF
raising in the morning and laying
down at night; this is the way to
accumulate Il full stora,housc of
knowledge. Finally, YOU arc daily
improving in character? Be not
discouraged because it is little by
little. The best men inll for short
ofwhaL they themselves would wish

lnucll, il you keep good resolutions
better to-day than YOU did ycstrr-
day, better this year than YOU did
last year. Strive TO no perfect,
but DO not become lown-hcartcl
so long as You nrc approaching
nearer and nearer to :lo high
standard ut which YOU aim.
Little by li.tlc, fortunes are ac-
cumulatcd; little by little, knowI-
