DEATH OF THE LAST MAN.
Scientists Tell of the Ways I'm Which
Human Life MAY Expire.

The collected opinions of a large num-
Der Of scientists concerning the probable
fate of the last man are summed up as
follows:-The surface of the earth is
slowly but surely diminishing; all the
landed portion will be submerged, and the
last man will be drowned.
The ice is gradually accommodating at the
North Pole and slowly melting away at
the South. Eventually the earth's centre
of gravity will suddenly change and the
last man will be crushed by the rush of
the movables that will quickly glide over
its surface
There is a retarding medium in space.
causing a gradual loss of velocity on all
of the planets. The earth. when her
revolutions finally cease, will be drawn
nearer and nearer to the until the last
man will be literally roasted off the face
of the earth.
Beginning with the year 5000 A. D.
humanity will to retrograde,
and by the end of 1,000,0 900 man will be no
larger and have no more intelligence than
a plant louise. In that event there will
be no last man
The suns fires will gradually burn out
and the temperature cool; in consequence
the earth's glacial zones will enlarge,
driving shivering humanity toward the
equator. At last the habitable space will
lessen to nothing and overcrowded hui
mainly will be frozen in a heap.-St.

The New Charter Enterprise.

The action of the Board of Aldermen,
last evening, In ordering a special cleo
ton for a new charter under the pro-
visions of Chapter GO of the laws of
this year end to create another anus
ing deadlock. Taking the statute at its
face value, as quoted in our news col
umns, the action of the Aldermen is
final. We cannot see that it leaves
any room for veto or approval by the
Mayor. 1t may be claimed that under
general provisions of law the Major
has such power In respect to all resolu-
ions adopted by city boards, but in
view of the very clear and specific
language of his act, it is more than
doubtful whether the courts would up
hold such a claim.
On the other hand, the Mayor and
the Board Of Finance have ample means

money for the expense of it, a matter
of 81, 600, we should think, and they can
refuse to pass any bills contracted in
conducting it which the Aldermen
might attempt to pay out of the ordinary

the ground that money would then be,

ooLoRHD INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
Meet and Organjxo in h
Governors Room.

.Specfdlt to the Jcrseg City Ncies.
TRENTON, Oct. "a, 1894.@The trustees
of the Colored industrial School at Bor-
dentown met yesterday in the executive
chamber at the State House and organ
lied, with Governor Werts as president
ex-oficio. The condition and prospects
of the school were thoroughly discussed,
and State Superintendent Poland was
directed to investigate the assets of the
Colored Industrial Association al Bor-
dentown, and also to obtain a schedule
of assets of District No. IS, City of Bur-
lington, which are to be turned over to
the trustees of this association.
The Board of Education of Burlington
for two years past have been carrying on
a manual training school for colored pu-
pills in connection with their public school
work. Likewise, the Colored Industrial
Association of New Jersey, of which Rev.
w. A. Rice is the active head, has a
school started inzBurlington in %antieipa-
ton of the organization of the associa-
ton provided for by the Legislature of
last winter.
The Bordentown Colored Industrial
School managers receive the assets, of the
other two institutions and supercede'
them in this industrial work No action
was taken further than a general discus
sion and instructions to the State SUI
perintendent to examine the assets to be
turned over and report to the board on
next Tuesday. On that day, also, the
property of the two institutions will be
turned over to the new organization.
TIL constitutionality of the act passed
last winter forming the new body was
not discussed, as had been anticipated.
Some five years ago an Industrial As
ISOLATION was organized at Hoboken. An
other called the Industrial Association
was organized at Bordentown at the same
time. These two, and a similar associa-
ton formed in Newark, which latter has
been running a night school, are the only
organizations now in existence operating
under the act of 1889.
The act establishing the new organiZa-
ton is very loosely drawn. 1t was passed
over the Governors veto after the Gov-
ernor had been given an opinion by At
torney General Stockton adverse to the
constitutionality of the bill by reason of
its loose provisions.
