The Earth Growing Larger.

The earth, travelling in its orbit
around the sun and onward with the
solar system around some unknown
and still greater center of attraction,
is constantly traVersing new regions of
space, which it depletes of meteoric
dust and meteorites, thus steadily-no
matter how slowly-increasing in
diameter. Now let this growth con-
tinue till the earth has just twice the
attractive power which it now possess
es, we should then have twice the num-
Der of meteorites and double the
quantity of dust falling annually upon
it.
Fortunately for our heads the earth
has not yet attained very formidable
dimensions but we may look upon it as
an established fact that it constantly
gains in weight, and that in proper
ton to such gain its attractive power
steadily increases.
The attractive force of the sun is so
enormous that a perpetual hail of
meteorites and torrent of dust par
ticles must rush upon it from all di-
rections, and some of the foremost OBJ
servers are now of opinion that these
| falling bodies are the sole cause of the
suns heat.
In the light of this theory our earth
is young and growing, not an old
/ and dying planet; Il planet with j
future, which ought to be cheerful news
to all of us, although we shall not live
to reap the benefit of it, and the sun
far from being on its last legs rs i'll
expiring luminary, is steadily gaining
in heat and lighting capacity-AHeri
can GeOi0gist.

An Economical Wife.

Mrs. w. was thrifty and practica
soul, and she came from family which
through all the country side was re-
nowned as being near" In Other
words, she came of a race of people
who were the reverse of generous and
in herself she was, it may be added
the flower of their qualities. She had
an excellent husband, but he was
stricken down with typhoid-pneumonia
and one morning the physician in
charge announced to the weeping wife
that he could live only few hours at
most. In her way Mrs. w. was fond
of her husband and she was greatly
affected by the verdict which an
nounced her approaching separation
from him. The scene between her and
her husband was affecting in the extreme
and the nurse who was present in the
background, was moved to tears bv
the agonizing fervor of Mrs. W.'s grief.
George" the weeping wife said at
last, what clothes do you want to have
on nwhen-when-"
Tears choked her utterance, and her
husband feebly murmured that it did
not matter to him any more how he
was arrayed.
'Then you won't mind, dearest" she
said between her sobs. If we put on
your old pants? The new ones have
not been worn but once, and we can
send them back to the tailor, and no one
will notice what sort of pants you have
on in the cof-cof-coffin." :"
Dear George was too far gone either
to care what trousers were used for the
arraying of his remains for the tomb or
to appreciate the perfection of his
wife's economy; he simply moaned and
gave up the ghost, leaving his wife
free to practice any economical device
which should occur in her frugal mind
