8. There Is q retarding medium in space,
causing q gradual loss OF velocity in all
the planets. The earth, obeying this law
Of gravitation, will be drawn nearer and

will DO roasted from the face OF the globe.
4. The amount Of water on the earth's
surface Is slowly drying up. Finally the
earth will be an arid waste like the moon,
and the last man will die pleading for q
drop OF moisture with which TO wet his
tongue.
8. A gigantic planet Is likely to tumble

A sermon ON Watching.

The Rev. d. N. Stafford preached yes
terday morning at the Chestnut Street
M. +. Church from the text, What l say
unto you / say unto all, watch" Mark
xiii: 81. Everybody, the preacher said, is
concerned about himself, and If any one
is not, he is an object of concern. II is
right that a man should watch his bust
ness and his health; but he should also
watch his moral growth, aud especially
the Christian, for everybody is watching
him. The Son of God had a right to say
''watch," because his life was a watch
word all the time.
The word of God calls the minister a
Waterman. Not only do the angels watch,
but Satan does also, so ii is necessary for
a one TO watch individually. Watch to
see that the fences around your Christian
life are all right. Watch that the de-
stroyer does not enter and despoil your
life. We must be careful of our COM
panions, as sin is more catching than scar
let fever. We must put a double guard
of prayer and watchfulness around us,
and God will overcome sin.

ueirs Appsreut and Presumptive.


There seems to DO q good deal Of con-
fusion in the minds OF the public and
the press as to what constitutes the diff
ference between an their presumptive"
and an s'heir apparent" and one gentle
man who has been informed that there
is no "heir presu1nptive" to the throne
at the present time, writes to inquire
Of me whether Prince George Of Wales
is not entitled to that designation. !
should say certainly not. In point Of
law, the heir is the party who succeeds
to an estate or dignity by the demise
of the previous holder; and a man can
only have during his life an "heir ap
parent" or an Sheir persumptive."
The Prince Of Wales is now the hei1
apparent to the throne, and while he
lives there can be no other heir. Prince
George is the heir apparent to thu
princedom of Wales, and he is not heis
to the throne at all, except in the loosa
and inaccurate sense in which all per.
SONS who may by any possibility be-
come entitled are spoken Of as ''heirs."
The difference between an heir ap-
parent and an heir presumptive Is that
the heir apparent must succeed If he
survives the present holder of the dig
nifty; while an heir presurnptfve, al.
though the heir at the moment, is liable
to have his right to the succession de-
feated by the birth Of another heir.
There cannot. therefore, be at the Same
time an heir apparent and an heir pre-
su1nptive. Should the Prince of Wales
succeed to the throne, Prince George, il
then living, will become the heir ap.
parent to the throne. Should Prince
George succeed to the throne before he
has children the Duchess Of Fife would
be the heir presurnptive, her right to
the succession being always liable to be
defeated by this birth of direct heir to
her brother. Henry Labouchere in Lon.

An Aston.shed but Considerable Prince.

An Astonished but Considerable Prince
One of the leading families in Stuff
CART gave o supper party to which the
prince royal had been invited. His
royal highness arrived a little before all
the preparations for the feast were COM
pleted. Observing that he had arrived
little too soon, he decided to take
short stroll in front of the house while
daylight was fading into dark. Sud-
denly trim servant maid bounded out
Of the house and ran up to the prince, to
whom she handed parcel containing,
as it afterward turned out, large piece
Of sausage and some money, and ex-
claimed under her breath;
"You won't have to come today; we're
having large party; the prince him
self is coming; SO goodby till tomor-
row!" and with that she gave his royal
highnees couple Of hearty kisses and
disappeared before he had time to get
word out.
A moment later he perceived sol
der in his cloak, who was casting visit
full chances at the lighted windows Of
the house, and asked him If his sweet
heart lived there, and on the mans re-
plying in the affirmative the prince con-
tinued:
ssThen this parcel must be intended
for you. The person who brought it
sends you word that you are to come to-
morrow, for she has no time today on
account Of the party"
"Much obliged; it's alright, I'll come
tomorrow" said the soldier.
'She gave me something besides"
the prince went on to say, ''but can't
deliver you that"
"Oh, you may keep it and welcome"
rejoined the soldier. "I've plenty here
for today"
Everybody at the party noticed thct
his highness was more lively and good
humored than usual. He narrated his
adventure over the cigars and wine, but
exaeted promise that neither the serv-
ant girl nor the soldier should suffer in
consequence Of the disclosure.-Leeds
