The End Of the WOrl d.

The 9th of Novemb Der has been desig-
mated by some Mohammedan prophets
as the day on which the world will
come to an end. According to their
predictions, the sun will on that day
depart from his old established custom
of rising in the East, and will begin
the day by illuminating the Western
sky. This is itself will be catastrophe
enough, but according to these wise
men tn is will be followed by general
crash, and then the Judgment will
take place. 1t is however probable
that this prophecy, like all of the same
nature that have proceeded it, will fail
to be realized

was that of a sharp, brisk business man, /,
and the ether had Celtic ring Us If

The recognition of the gentlemen in the

mutual ,and the next instant Trustees of

corner of the mill and about two feet up
from the ground.
The newspaper man said he did, and
looking down read the following in
scription legibly cut in the face OF the
stone:

AbOUt Water.

A curious fact about water Is that IL
is the rust of the metal known as hy'
drogenium. When oxygen combines
with iron it forms a reddish rust, and
the metal becomes in time disintegra-
ted. In this condition it is said to be
oxidizel. Now, water is simply oxidized
hydrogeniuni. This metal is present in
the sun and in all the planets in enor-
nous quantities. Indeed, it Is said that
the human body is composed of5H pals
of water, mingled with some lime, iron
aud certain salts. Chemistry has re.
vealed to us many marvels, but none
greater than the composition OF common
water.
