condense the views which uphold on
this subject, and the more important
of these will be found in the following
distorted proverbs of the PalI Mall:

THE SUN GOING OUT.

In About Ten Million Years Their
VIM Be NO Light.
It seems that the sun has alread!
dissipated about four-ffths OF TIN
energy with which it may have orig
naIly been endowed. says an ex
change. At all events it seems that,
radiating energy at its present rate;
the sun may possibly hold out for
100000 years, or 5000, 900 years,
but not 100000 years.
Here, then we discern in the remote
future q limit to the duration of life
on this globe. 1t does not seem pos
sibIe for any other source OF heat to
bs available for replenishing the wan
ing atores OF the luminary.
1t may be that the heat was origi-
naIIy impaired to the sun as the re-
suit of a great collision between two
bodies which were both dark before
she collision took place, so that, in
fact, the two dark masses c0alesced
into q vast nebula, from which the
whole of our system has been
evolved.
OF course. it is always conceivable
that the sun may be reinvigorated by
the repetition of the same startling pro-
cess. It is, however, hardly neces-
sary to observe that so terrible a
conguIsion would be fatal to life in
the solar system.
Neither from the heavens abovenor
from the earth beneath does it seem
possible to discover any rescue for the
human race from the inevitable end.
The race is as mortal as the ipdivid-
uaI aad so far as we know, it's span
