The Earth Growing Larger.

The earth, travelling in its orbit
aroun1. the sun and onward with the
entire solar system around some I'M
known and still greater center of
attraction, is constantly traversing
new regions of space, which it de-
pletes of meteoric dust and meteor
tiles, thus steadily-no matter how
slowly-increasingin diameter. Now
let this growth continue till the earth
has just twice the attractive power
which il now possesses: we should
then have twice the number of meteor
ties and double the quantity of dust
falling annually upon it than now.
Fortunately for our heads, the
earth has not as yet attained very,
formidable dimensions, but we may
look upon it as an established fact
that it constantly gains in weight
and that in proportion to such gain
it's attractive power steadily in.

The attractive force of the sun is so
enormous that perpetual hail OF
meteorities and a torrent of dust
particles must rush upon it from all
directions, and some OF the foremost
observers are now OF opinion that
these falling bodies are the sole cause

A Story of Burton.

The following is from Joseph Jeffer-
sons autobiography in The Century
81 have often thought that Burton
must have had Irish blood in him.
for he was continually spreading the
tail OF his coat for a fight-I mean
an intellectual fight, as physically he
was not pugnacious. Quarelsome
persons who do not indulge in pugil-
istic encounters are fond of law suits:
it is only another way of having it
out, and Burton must have spent a
fortune in fees. His humor on the
witness stand was quite equal to
that Of Sam Weller. On one occasion
while the actor was going through
bankruptcy. an eminent lawyer in
Philadelphia thought he detected a
desire on Burton's part to conceal
some facts relative to large sum oil
money that he had made during the
production of the 'Naiad Queen.
Rising with great dignity. and glar-
ing fiercely Mt Burton, he demanded.
What became of that money, sir?
The comedian booked him straight il
the face; then rising in imitation OF an
attorney. he replied: The lawyers
got it.

The DAY OF JUDGMENT.
A Curious Theory Presented by Clergy
man In ireland.

The Rev. J. S. Vaughan discusses in
the Dublin ReUie1C curious question
in religion. His theory is that the re-
surrection of the body solves the pro-
blem of the final destiny of the earth,
and he bases it on 1.-THE teaching of
sound theologiansn and the accepted
truths OF science In brief, it is that
when the archangel sounds the last
trump and summons the dead to arise
from their graves and come to judy
ment the whole of this planet will
vanish with them for their bodies will
comprise all the matter of which it is
composed.
This novel position is based on statis-
tics and science and is defended with
the exactness of mathematical calcu-
lations. He notes the tendency of
science to reduce substances hereto
fore regarded MS elementary, and argues
that in the end only one universal
elemental substance will be recognized.
Next he refers to 1.-THE scientific fact
that the absolute amount of matter, or,
in other words, the sum total of all
that exists in the material universe. is
ever constant quantity" Nothing
new. he argues, is created except
human souls, and they are put in
earthly tabernacles kneaded together
from existing matter" and subject tc
