How the End will Come.

NJ. Camille Flammarion says that in
all probability, Notwithstanding all cir
cumstances which threaten it, our
planet will die, not of an accident, but
Il natural death. That death will be
the consequence of the extinction of
the sun, i'll twenty million years or
more-perhaps thirty-since condensa-
ton in relatively moderate rate will
give it On one hand seventeen million
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 prolonged to forty million
years, it is still incontestable that the
radiation from the sun cools it, and
that the temperature Of all bodies
tends to an equilibrium. Then the
earth and all the other planets of Jour
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 SUM-
Will these planets continue to exist
even then? Yes, probably, in the case
OF Jupiter and perhaps Saturn No.
beyond a doubt, for the small bodies
such as the earth, Venus, Mars, Mer-
curry and the moon. Already the moon
appears to have preceded us towards
the final desert. Mars is much further
advanced than the earth towards the
same destiny. Venus, younger than
us, will doubtless survive u.s.. 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 continents are crumbling away and
becoming covered by the sea, which |
insensibly and by slow degrees tends |!
to invade and submerge5 the entire |!
globe; On the other hand the amount |
of water on the surface of. 1.-THE globe is
A careful and reasonable
calculation shows that by the action
of erasure alone all the land on our
planet will be covered by water in
100000 years.
