NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.
Prophet Virgins Says the World Cannot End
for Billions Of Years.

Prof. Virgins, the weather prophet
who IL now at a small Canadian village
near OTTAWA, was interviewed tht
other day by Glohe-Democrat core
spondent. "Will this world ever have
AN end" was asked.
"No," sand the astronomer, "this
world will never have an end. The
universe, or immensity. so far as re
vealed tn us in the telescope. Is made
up Of star lunches. or nebul;e. placed
at immense distances from each other.
Our sun belongs tn the nebule which
we call the milky way. Who would
think of one nebulr blotted from ex-
istencc without the others meeting he
same fate? But ii our earth ever does
have an end, it cannot bc for many
billions of years yet.
"The first planet of the solar system
that will he snuffed out is Nept une, for
it is the furthest from the sun and the
oldest. Uranus will then follow, then
Saturn. then great Jupiter. then Mars.
Twenty millions OF years after We see
Mars fall out OF the sky We may pre-
pare for oblivion, but not till then.
You see, as the planets grow they re-
cede from the sun and shift their axis.
And as they recede from the sun. or
the center OF gravity, they swell or en-
large. Lite on Mars is much preferable
to that on the earth. for the people
there have smaller bones, because the
attraction is less, and they need less
muscular exertion for locomotion.
They have more mental energy, there
fore, for study, and hence are much
wiser and longer lived than we are.
We may infer. also, that they are not
subject to disease, and their ment al
energy may be so great that they re-
new their bodies by sinking into sort
OF chrysalis state, and without the
agency OF death, so that their lives
may be eternal
"iou think, then, that Mars is in
habited,"
~ know it is, for all the land surface
is carved up by canals, evidently for
the purpose OF travel and irrigation.
Along the banks of their canals forests
are planned, for trees supply moisture
to the air, and this probably becomes
dew, which then promotes vegetation.
When the earth's orbit becomes as
great as that OF Mars our planet will
probably be n hundredth part larger
than now, our oceans will become
Shollnw snnunt N xNIIl hA
worn down, and we will have nothing
to condense the moisture in the air, ii
indeed We have any moisture to con-
dense. Canals will then everyw here he

While the Stanley expedition was
crossing portion of the Sahara
Desert, they were made acquainted
with the peculiar properties of a
plant known only to that region,
called by the Arabs GULL koia, or the
laughing plant. Prof. Salchi, at
tached TO the expedition, was fortu.
nate enough to procure several fine
specimens of this peculiar plant,
which he is at present cultivating
with view TO neutrality-suspicious..
The production of laughter by ar
tifcial means, il is tn ought. can be
reduced to science now that the
discovery of n plant, the properties
of which are direct incentive tc
laughter, has been made. Any
amount of exclamation can be pro-
duccd by simply increasing or dimin.
ishing the laugh-producing dose.
There was a time when the somno-
lent effects produced by the poppy
were not generally known. but the
soporific properties OF this plant are
now beyond cavil, and in short
time IL is expected that Prof. Salchi
will have crop OF the laugh-produc.
ing plants large enough for practical
experiments. The now almost I'M
known plant will soon become a
staple article of commerce, and the
principal cereal cultivated in many n
vast grader will be the laughter-pro-
ducing plant. AS opium is certain
to produce sleep, so can the laughter
plant be ut all times relied upon &c
produce laughter in al! animated
creatures. from the micro organisms
of the oscillntorie up to the genus
homo.
This strange plant grows in the
arid deserts of Arabia and on the
vast sea OF the white sand known as
the Desert of Sahara, in Africa. The
plant is of moderate szie, with bright
yellow flowers and soft, velvety seed
pods. each OF which contains two or
three seeds resembling small black
beans. The natives ot the district
where this strange plant grows dry
the seeds i'm the sun and reduce them
to fine impalpable powder by
process OF maceration between two
stones A small dose OF this powder
has similar effects to that arising
from the inhalation of laughing gas.
