The End OF the World.

The following dismal picture of the
end of the world is by the noted French
scientist, Camille Flammarion:
The earth was born; she will die. She
will die either of old age, when her vital
elements shall have been used up, or
through the extinction of the sun, to
whose rays her life is suspended. She
might also die by accident, through col
hsion with some celestial body meeting
her on her route; but this end of the
world is the most improbable OF all. She
may, we repeat, die a natural death
through the slow absorption of her vital
elements In fact, it is probable that
the air and water are diminishing The
ocean, like the atmosphere, appears to
have been formerly much more consider
able than it is in our day. The terres-
trial crust is penetrated by waters which
combine chemically with the rocks 1t
is almost certain that the temperature OF
the interior of the globe reached that of
boiling water at the depth of about six
miles, and prevents the water from de-
scending any lower; but the absorption
will continue with the cooling of the
globe. The oxygen, nitrogen, and car
bonic acid which compose our atmos-
phere also appear to undergo absorp-
ton, but slower. The thinker may for
see, through the mist of ages yet to come,
the epoch, yet afar off, III which the
earth, deprived of the atmospheric,
aqueous vapor which protects her from
the glacial cold of space by preserving
the solar rays around her, will become
chilled in the sleep of death. As Henri
Vivarel says: "From the summit of the
mountains winding sheet of snow will
descend upon the high plateaus and the
valleys, driving before it life and civil
cation, and masking forever the cities
and nations that it meets on its passage. !"
Life and human activity will press in
sensibly toward the inter-tropical zone.
st. Petersburg, Berlin, London, Paris,
Vienna, Constantinople and Rome will
fall asleep in succession under their eter-
nal shroud. During very many ages
equatorial humanity will undertake Arctic
expeditions to find again under the ice
the place of Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux and
Marseilles. The sea coasts will have
changed, and the geographical map of
the earth will have been transformed
No one will live and breathe any more ex-
cept in the equatorial zone up to the day
when the last family, nearly dead with
cold and hunger, will sit on the shore of
the last sea, in the rays of the sun which
will thereafter shine here below on an
ambulent tomb revolving aimlessly
around useless light and n barren heat.

may believe, smiled upon by God, for
their lives were now pure, whereas they
once trod the downward course, which,
had it not been arrested, would have led
them to endless ruin.

The Man Wanted.

The following anecdote is old but good,
and many of the present generation have
not seen it: "The people in one of the
out-parishes of Virginia wrote to Dr.
John Holdt Rice, who was then at the
head of the theological seminary in
Prince Edward, for minister. They
said they wanted man of first rate
talents, for they had run down consider
ably and needed building up. They
wanted one who could write well, for
some of the young people were very nice
about that matter. They wanted one
who would visit good deal, for their
former minister had neglected that, and
they wanted to bring that up. They
wanted a man of very gentlemanly de-
pertinent, for some thought great deal
of that. And so they went on describing
n perfect minister. The last thing they
mentioned was that they gave their
other minister three hundred and fifty
dollars; but if the doctor would send
them such a man as they described, they
would raise another fifty dollars, making
it four hundred dollars. The doctor sat
right down and wrote reply, telling
them they had better forthwith make a
call for old DIR. Dwight, in heaven; for he
did not know of any one in this world
who answered their description; and as
DIR. Dwight had been living so long on
spiritual food, he might not need so
much for the body, and possibly might
live on four hundred year.

Warner retorted that Haseltons had also been re-

The Western White Lead Company have
the pleasure to announce the most COM
plete success of their brand of WHITE
LEAD. 1t is far superior to any other
Lead made in California. Nothing but the
finest material is employed and no care
or expense will be spared to maintain its
present high standard and reputation.
WESTERN WHITE LEAD will not be sold
in competition-so far as price is con-
cerned-with inferior brands. The manu-
facturers do not offer western" Lead as
a Iow-priced brand. They offer it as the
BEST. It's in reality, however. the cheapest
even at higher cost, because it will go
further, look better and last longer than
any other California Lead.
WHITE LEAD may be perfectly PURE
and yet be POOR. Unless made from the
very finest material and prepared with
the greatest skill and care, it will turn
yellow or become otherwise discolored and
will chalk or peel of.
Examine work few months old which
has not been finished with prime Lead
such as Atlantic or Western" and
these defects viii be apparent.
