The End Of the World.

From Longman's Magazine.
Tho nebulp in Orion, Saturn and
the moon are indeed suggestive OF
cAange-types, they may he called
of .he first stage, the middle and the
last that matter passes through in
the long process of the evolution OF
worlds.
And. of all changes, that change
Ia, most interest for us which ai-
fects our own planet, the earth II
has reached IL later stage than Sat
urn, though not so late stage as
the moon but only in long ages and
by minute effects will further chan
ges be noticed.
Ages hence it may be discovered
that there is some slight change III
the earth's orbit or Mercury, yet
nearer to the sun than we, may be
seen TO pursue smaller orbit than
now, aud the terrible fact may come
home to man that we are drawing
nearer TO the sun. Time goes on,
and the tropics become too hot for
existence, and colder regions find II
welcome change to warmth,
Age 10y age goes by, and the end
is, yisibly, no nearer; but the figures
of astronomers only too surely tell
their tale.
Now the tropics are an impossible
desert, and NIL the life on the globe
congregatcs around the poles Spain
has lost her vineyards and the Alps

words of Mr.. Kreighly Miller, 1.-THE
pGrrowed limits of the habitable
earth can no longer support the vast
increase of population, and famine
begins to NOW down its victims by
millions.
'Now, indeed, the end of life on
the earth draws on apace. '-~ The
heat and drought become more and
more insnpportable rain and dew
fall no longer. All springs of water
fail, and the rivers dwindle down 10
streamlets, and trickle slowly over
their stone beds, and now scarcity
of water is added to scarity of food.
Those who escape from the famine |
perish by the drought, and those |
who escape from the drought are re-
served for fate more awful yet.
For time the few remaining inhabi-
tants are partially screened from
the overwhelming power of the sun
by dense canopy of clouds formed
by the evaporation of every lake
and sea.
But soon the sun scorches up
these vapor banks and dissipates
them into space az fast as they can
form. Then the fiery orb shines

HOW TWILL HELP us.
The Location of the Great Fair at
Chicago.
Rock leland May Well Profit by Ju-
dicious Advertising While the
Werld sends It's Representative TO
the state.

IL has been argued, and mathematicians
have attempted to figure, that the location
OF the worlds fair at Chicago would re-
suit in disadvantage to other cities in
Illinois ind the states within a radius Of
two hun 1red to three hundred miles Of
the city by the lake. One gentleman
made the calculation last night. when it
was determined that Chicago had won the
coveted prize which the great cities OF the
continent have been striving for so ear
nestly and so long. that the fair at Chica,
go would take 5000. 900 out of Rock ISL
and. This was estimated as the aggregate
expenses of the trip of those who would
attend tie fair from Rock Island. 1t is
to be expected of course that the fair at
Chicago would attact more than il it were
held in New York, Notwithstanding that
Rock Island was pretty well represented
at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposi-
ton Of 70. But the point is. will not

ton seems to be one really for our Citi-

which have been read of in history, and

Improvement association to design
There is no doubt but that thousands of
people who visit Chicago on the occa-
sion of this great event, will be glad to
run out less than two hundred miles from
the busy busting, over crowded city for

time to good advantage. Rock Island

ductive yarns he relates, of which he always
has full store, and looks forward to a

miserable failures of the business when they

A Snd Case.

Capt and Mrs Geo. Lamont have a
sad and pitiable case in their family in
the fate of their little son, George. whose
death fro m starvation is q matter of but
a short time. The boy is now sixteen
years old. When at the age of three he
got hold Of bottle of lye thinking that
it was something good to drink, and
swallowed considerable OF its contents.
From the results of this the boy has suf-
fered more or less intensely from
structure of the throat. and while it re-
Taxed t-ifile at times when instrum ents
were inserted, it soon closed again. The
pain really has not been so great an sf-
Fiction as the inability to swallow food.
For a lor q time the water into which the
yolk of an egg had been placed,
constituted the boys sole source of
nourishment. At times he could swallow
little soup and he managed to satisfy
his appetite by what he could dissolve in
his mouth and a swallow Of ginger snaps.
He seen ed. however. to be strong and
healthy and kept about as if nothing was
the matter. He often came to town
with his father and became known all
over South Rood Island, where attach
ment was formed for the boy who always
appeared light-hearted and patient under
his affection. 1t was only possible for
him to GO to school but half day. as it
required so long for him to get into his
stomach what he could get through the
passage Of his throat. Ice water seemed
to afford him great relief and he often
managed by repeatedly taking considera-
BILE into his mouth and ejecting what he
could not swallow, to reduce the structure
somewhat. After he attained the age of
ten years his difficulty seemed to
disappear somewhat, and for q few
years he was able to eat mashed potatoes
and to swallow soups, the juice of meat
and even 10 eat small particles of mince
meat. But about year ago the stoppsge
Of the throat returned and since then the
affection has increased until it was inn
possible TO swallow any nourishment
whatsoever. Since a week ago Friday the
boy has had no food whatever except
what could be hyperdermIcaIly and he is
gradually starving to death.
Capt. Lamont has given his son the
best medical attendance he could secure
from the earliest stage of the trouble,
but 1t seems to have baffied all efforts to
subdue l.. and the indications now are
that there is no hope for the brave little
fellow OH earth.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Davenport's Delegate Returns With
the same Opinion OF the Prison and

Representatives Haa

Representatives Haa.
Mr.. ]. s. Wylie. who went to Wash
ington as representative of the Daven-
port Business Mems association shortly
after Mayor McConochie, of this city, and
President Hsss. of the Rock Island Citi-
zens' Improvement association, reached
home Sunday and the Democrat says:
As for the military prison at Rock Isl
and arsenal, it is Mr. Wylie's opinion and
also the view of all friends of the arsenal
that the government penitentiary isn't
wanted here. 1t would be a curse rather
than benefit. and the Iowa and Illinois
delegations in congress will take this view
OF it. Fort Leavenworth, or some more
remote place. where the government has
no large manufacturing interests, would
be much better
The gun plant at the arsenal for the
making Of heavy ordnance is altogether
another matter. II we do not realize this
it will not be on account of idleness.
Last Friday Mr.. Wylie in company with
Senators Allison and Cnllom, and Con-
gresham 9est of Rock Island, had an
important interview with Secretary OF
War Proctor. The secretary visited the
arsenal last summer and formed a cor.
rect idea of it's extent and advantages for
manufacturing purposes. Senators ALI
son and Cullom made a more effectual
argument during their private call than
they could have made on the floor of the
senate. Both are in earnest and were
very courteous to Dsvenport's representa-
tive. 1t is feared that Gen. Benet, the
chief of ordnance. will not give the en-
terprise the help he might give it, as
stated In Washington dispatch. There
is good chance. however. of getting the

Watching the l.andmarhs.

One of the most interesting studies of the
habits of migratory fowl is the rare intelli-
gence which they show in guiding themselves
by prominent landmarks An Englishman
who was shooting in Labrador some years
since recently stated that while in camp at
the base of range of hills he was interested
in observing the precision with which focks
of wild geese changed their course when di-
rectly abreast Of two prominences, conspicu-
Gus objects in the landscape, At that point
they swerved from west to south. At times
the old ganders leading flocks of young birds,
were greatly troubled in enforcing their or
ders for a shift of route Exchange.
