ATimeIy Announcement.


Professor Proctor reasons that the
moon has grown old SIX times as fast
as the earth, a comparison Of the
masses and radiatiug surfaces of the
two bodies making it evident that the
eirth's inter0al heat was originally
suffci mt to last six times as long as
the moons supply. Following up his
reasoning he argues that GO 0O0, 600 Of
years must elapse before tho earth will
have reached the stage OF life through
which the moon is now passing
The above is important. While
probably no one has noticed that the
moon is growing bald or gray haired,
or seen it limping through space on a
pair Of crutches, there is no question
but that the planet is growing old.
1t his eve y + ason to grow
old, anu it Is no wonder that it has
grown old six times as fast as the
earth The moons work is all night
work, and that is very straining on
the nervous system. But the assur.
alce OF Prof. Proctor that sixty million
years will have to elapse before the
earth reaches that tottering age and
stage OF life through which the moon
is now passing" comes like blessed
boon to the interested people OF this
earth. Now people can go ahead and
get their farms mortgaged, and lay in
just enough -four aud coal to last thai
long, as after the earth gets as old as
the moon is now, no one will care t
live upon it any longer, and they will
let the old ching go to the dogs, Prof
Proctor's announcement comes il
just in the nick OF time.

General Trade.

The talk on Change yesterday and
to-day extended over a wide range OF
topics, but the leading themes were
the big train ito arrive with 80 or
100 car loads OF meat, -four and grain.
chiefly the latter, the weakness in
meat values and dullness in -four and
hay Liberal transactions have Oc>
CURED during the past two days, and
large number Of merchants congregs-
ted during the Change hour to confer
together and discuss the situation.
The probable freight tariff over the
new railroad excited cons defablc
comment. A report that it would be
fixed at about 22c per cwt. from Kan
sas City, was circulated, but whether
or not that figure will be agreed
upon is uncertain, as the railway
managers are themselves 10 doubI
on the subject. 1t is stated that
the rate from Louisville here
ranges from l6 to l8c per cwt, ant
from St. Louis at II to l8c, and /
