The man is pleased because the

MANS FINAL COLLAPSE.
Seven Different Ways as to How the End
May Come.

The probable fate of the last man is
subject that has often been discussed.
OF about dozen solutions of the CUES
below:
l. The surface of the earth is steadi-
~ diminishing; all the landed portion
will at last be submerged and the last
man will be drowned
2. The ice is gradually accommodating
at the North pole and slowly melting
at the South; eventually the earth's
center of gravity will change, and the
last man will be killed by the rush of
movables when the catastrophe finally
comes.
8. There is a retarding medium in
space, causing gradual loss of veloci-
ty in all the planets. The earth, obey
ing this law OF gravitation, will be
drawn nearer and nearer the sun, I'M
till at last humanity will be 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 drop of moisture
with which to wet his tongue.
5. A gigantic planet is likely to tum-
BILE into the sun at any time. In that
event our great luminary would
blaze up and burn the earth and other
planets in its train to cinders.
6. With the beginning of the year
5000 A. D., the human family will be-
gin to retrograde, and within 1000, 900
years from that date man will not be
higher in the scale of nature than the
plant louise Of to-day. In this case
there will be no "last man"
2. The suns fires will gradually burn
out and the temperature will cool in
consequence. The earth's glacial zones
will enlarge, driving shivering human
ity toward the equator. At last tho
habitable space will lessen to nothing
and oyercrowded humanity will be
frozen in heap.

A FOREST MONARCH,
Three Growths Have Arisen Around TIL
Monster.

Three Growths Have Arisen Around This
Monster.
Long before the advent of the white
man in California forest fires ragged, and
from recent discoveries it is probable
that giant trees were thus destroyed, in
comparison to which our much-lauded
sequoias and redwoods of the present
are but saplings.
In 1916 Commodore Apetsby Catesby
Jones, {. 5. y, esta bEshed a small
saw-mill in Mill Valley for the purpose
of getting out lumber, there being no
saw-mills IN operation on the coast at
the time.
A few remnants of this old mill still
remain, says an exchange, the locality
being about six miles from Sausalito,
on the North Pacific Coast railway.
Close by this mill there can to-day be
plainly traced the outlines of tree de-
stroyed by fire perhaps ages ago. The
stump still measures fftytwo feet in
diameter, and from appearances per-
haps measured fully sixty feet.
Around this mammoth stump had
grown immense trees, which were cut
and used in the saw-mill in lS49 Since
then third growth has been made,
the sight of which would make glad
the heart of any lumberman.
The stump was measured by Edward
A. T. Gallagher, the pioneer, who lost
his reputation for veracity in 1S49,
when his description of the sequoias of
California was published in the East
ern papers, in which the statement
was made that his employees had driven
a wagon and a yoke of oxen through a
PROSTATE tree that had burned hollow,
and they would drive 100 feet and gee
off and out through knot-hole.
At the time the statement was made
that he had felled a tree seventeen
feet in diameter, and had used the hol-
low of one that was standing in which
to stable thirteen head of horses

"SUNB BE AM"

The Pathetic Tale of Locket, an InscIfp.
ton and Somebody's Sweetheart.
She was such pretty girl with a
fluff of hair and stylish hang to her
gown-though, to be sure, one did not
notice that until afterward. Her eyes
held one at first, they were SO blight,
so brimful OF happiness, of real infec-
tious joyousness. It spoke, too, in the
curve Of her pretty mouth, and in her
quick, 'springy'' motion as she walked.
All the clerks in the jewelry store
looked up and smiled as she entered,
says the jewelers. Review. She was
like the sun. When she was gone they
smiled still more-there was something
at which to be amused. She had left
locket to be engraved-"Sunbeam"
on one side and name, a mans name,
on the other. He, the man, must have
been sweetheart, for her mouth had
shown a fuller curve and pushed tiny
dimple to her cheek as she spoke to
the clerk, and she blushed rosy red
when he asked her to repeat the low
toned order
the girls part as the door swung to De-
hind her. If it were not such very
precious thing she would send her
brother after the locket. Somehow
she felt shy about it, and the name
his pet name for her-had been diff
cult of utterance before all those men.
They told her it would De done to-
morrow. '''She would call? Very
we'll"
She did not call; the clerk half I'M
consciously watched for her, and won
dered. 1t had been nearly week now.
One day a young man came ina
young man who had her look without
the sunshine in it. He showed the
check for the locket and took it away.
She had called her brother and whis-
pered to him about the locket before
she died, and he gave it, as she had so
wished to do with her own hands, to
the man whose name was on the out
side.
''Sunbeam!' Truly, it seemed to him
there was no more left of life. There
had been but one whose brightness had
shown for him.
They heard of it in the store, and for
long time no one smiled when girl
left locket to be engraved for her
sweetheart. 1t so happened that no
one ordered Sunbeam on one side.

the after part of his trousers.
On this point Mr.. Johnson said moth.
ing, however, but proceeded to tell how
the dog would catch the fish. The
canine knew all the boys and holes
where the trout secreted themselves,
and was often noticed to creep along
the bank of the stream to such places
and shove stone in the water, fright
ening the fish from its repose. AS the
fish would dart out into the stream
the bull dog would spring at it and
very often come to the surface with
the fish in its mouth. Mr.. Johnson
said the dog had paths beaten all
around the banks of the stream where
he had travelled from bog to bog in pur.
suing his amusement.

rate of fifteen miles an hour. The en-
gines were wrecked. Most of the pas

Several other were slightly injured.
Ridgeley's injuries were received after
the wreck. The collision awolle him
and he frantically broke window
and jumped out. The cause of the cob
lision is said to be the fact that the OPP
crater at the Belt road was asleep and
supposing the passenger had gone
through, gave the freight the right Of
way. Several thousand dollars worth
of damage was done to the engines.
