DANGER $500, 900, 100000 YEARS
AHEAD.-Our moon will tell us most
of the earth's future, unless we are
altogether astray in reading the evil
dence that seem to be offered us.
Venus shows the possession of a
watery atmosphere, and is doubtless
fit for habitation under conditions
similar to those upon the earth. Mars
shows not only divisions into sea and
land in about equal proportions, but
accumulations of what seems to be ice
and snow at its poles. which decrease
and increase apparently in the seasons
of summer and winter. But the moon
has no water. She has no clouds and
can have no water. Her seas have
disappeared Did she ever have
water? Did she ever pass through
such stages as our earth has gone
through? Was this cold and dead
world ever warmed with life like our
earth? We cannot doubt it when we
see in her vast and numerous volcanic
craters the evidences of the heat she
! once possessed. She, too, must have
passed through her cooling stage
Her clouds were condensed into the
oceans of which we see the traces still
in her depressions of surface 1t is
believed that as planet becomes old
its waters disappear from the surface
are sucked in through crevices made ir
the crust of the cooling orb until they
entirely disappear That is German
theory. -Four times as much water as
is now upon the surface of our glob,
can be, it is estimated, contained il
its interior This, the lecturer said
would be the probable fate of th'
earth; this is what the earth nigh
be expected to be in $500, 600, 900, 00'

THE STAR CLUB.
Work begun for the Winter.


There was full meeting Of tho star
club last evening in the hall of the Young
Mems Christian association. II took hold
Of the work promptly, beginning with a
list of sixteen leading stars which were
placed on the blackboard, with diagrams
to aid in indicating their relative posi-
tions. There were thousands of people
last winter in the city and county who
read the reports Of proceedings Of this
club, and were interested in tracing the
stars and consultations described. This
number will be greatly increased during
the present winter, and the work will
have an excellent influence upon the
thought Of the community.
MI. j. p. McCaskey read the paper last
evening, retrieving the work Of the club,
outlining the course of study and passing
tlcrefeOm TO a consideration of the pres
ence of God in nature, especially as it was
elOquently attcsted by The stars and in
the science and poetry Of astronomy.

Fighting at the Church Door.


An unusual scene transpired in front of
Belleman's Reformed church, Centre
township. Berks county, Sunday morning.
The congregation is divided into two fac
tiOns, one of which oppose and the other
adhere to the pastor, Rev. X. S. Appel.
The anti-Appel party some weeks ago
voted Rev. Appel out of tho pastorate and
guarded tho church SO that neither lic nor
his friends could gain possession Of it. On
Sunday morning both parties were OH the
ground in force and excitement ran
high. Naughty words were used, and
the belligerent elders and deacons
shook their fists under each others noses.
Policemen from Reading were on the
ground to keep the peace. The war went
on i'm a drenching rain for nearly two
hours, but the anti-Appel men " held the
fort" The Appel party declare that the
ballot-box was stuffed and legal voters
driven away from the polls at the election
at which the pastor was defeated. About
twenty of the anti-Appel party will be AZ
rested and tried for disturbing religious
meeting.
