Natural Death.

Our Planet VIII Die Not by Accident, but
n Natural Death.
According to all probability, notwith-
standing all the circumstances which
threaten 1T, our planet will die not of an
accident, but a natural death. That death
will be the consequence of the extinction
OF the sun in 10000, 900 years or more
perhaps 10000, O00-since its condensa-
ton ut relatively moderate rate will
give it, on one hand, 1900, 900 years of
existence, while on the other hand the
inevitable fall Of meteors into the sun
may double this number. Even if you
suppose the duration of the sun to be pro-
longed to 100000 years, it is still in
contestablc that the radiation from the
sun cools it and that the temperature of
all bodies tends to al equilibrium. The
day will come when the sun will be ex-
tinct. Then the earth and all the other
planets of our system will cease to be the
abode of life. They will be erased from
the great book and will revolve, black
cemeteries, around an extinguished sun
Will these planets continue to exist
even then? Yes, probably in the case of
Jupiter and perhaps Saturn. No. be-

as the earth. Venus, Mars. Mercury AMI
the moon. Already the moon &,pears
to have preceded us toward the final dcs-
ert. Mars is much further advanced than
the earth toward the same destiny. We
nus, younger than us, will doubtless sur
vive us. These little worlds lose their
elements of vitality much faster than
the sun loses its heat. From century to
century, from year to year, from day to
day, from hour to hour, the surface of
the earth is transformed On the one
hand, the continentsare crumbling away
and becoming covered by the sea, which
insensibly and by very slow degrees
tends to invade and submerge the Ell
tire globe. On the other hand, the
amount of water OH the surface of the
globe is diminishing. a careful and
reasonable calculation shows that by the
action of erosure alone all the land on
our planet will be covered by water in
100000 years.-Camille Flammarion

FROM THE

To the Publishers Of 1.-THE Magic City,"


DEAR S1Rs: I desire to express to YOU both
my admiration and astonishment at the marvel.
Gus beauty of your grand publication 1t sur
passes any work of the printers and engravers'
art that have ever had the pleasure of behold
ing. The photographs In natural colors are
revelation to me. They are beautiful beyond all
conception Your book Is rightly named The
Magic City," and am sure 1t will receive from
intelligent people of your country the hearty
recognition to which 1t Is entitled by Its superla-
tive merits.
1t was originally my intention to accept the
very kind Invitation of President Harrison to
visit your great Worlds Fair last summer, but
a sea voyage is always quite fatiguipg and occa-
slonally dangerous, and therefore hesitated
until your beautiful book was announced, when
at once realized that 1t would be more desirable,
and certainly more Instructive than personal
visit. Hence [ abandoned all idea of going to
the Fair, and am we'll pleased with nv conclu-
sion, for your splendid book gives me permanent
view of the great Exposition in all it's details as
|, sit in my library am particularly we'll
pleased with your presentation of the worlds
art, AS represented at the Fair and elso with the
curious and interesting types of the Midway
Plaisance, both of which, 1 observe YOU hav
wisely made special features of "The Magic
City,"

beg to subscribe myself
