HOW THE WORLD WILL END.
OR Planet VIII Die Not by Accident. but
Natural Death.

Our PIanet Will Dis NON w -ACpAurhAs UHe
Natural Death.
According to all probability, notwith-
standing all the circumstances which
threaten it, cur planet will die not Of an
Incident. but natural DEATH That death
will be the consequence of the extinction
of the sun in 20, 600, 900 years or more
perhaps 10000, 000--since its condensa-
ton at relatively moderate rate will
give il, on one hand, Il, 100000 years of
existence, while on the other hand the
inevitable fall of meteors into the sun
may double this number. Even il You
suppose the duration of the sun to bepro-
longed to &C, 000, 900 years, it is still in
| eontestable that the radiation from the
sun cools it and that the temperature OF
| all bodies tends to an 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 them Yes, probably in the case of
jupiter and perhaps Saturn. No, be-
yond doubt, for the small bodies. such
as the earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury and
the moon. Already the moon appears
to have preceded us toward the final des-
ert Mars is much further advanced than
the earth toward the same destiny. We
nus, younger than us, will doubtless sur
yive 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 continents are crumbling away
and becoming covered by the sea, which
insensibly and by very slow degrees
| tends to invade and submerge the en-
tire globe. On the other hand, the
amount of water on 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
10, 0O0, 900 years.-Camille Flammarion

THOMAS eopsEpRAlsEo.
A Man Who Bears That Peculiar Name
Tells How 1t Originated.

Tells How It Originated.
The register of the Girard House re-
Gently recorded the arrival in the city OF
Thomas Godbepraised of Barrow-in-Fur-
ness, England. Being approached upon
the subject of the oddity of his surname,
Mr.. Godbepraised said:
Eyes, / suppose the name does sound
very odd to Americans, although such
names are not altogether unusual in
England and especially IN Lancashire,
which was a stronghold Of the Round
heads or Puritans in Cromwells time.
My home is in Barrow-in-F urness, which
is in Lancashire. My ancestors prior to
Cromwell's time were all royalists. The
family name was Elliot. A younger son
renowned the religious faith and politi-
cal opinions of his forefathers and be
came Puritan. AS was usual in such
cases he abjured his carnal name OF
Charles Elliot and took the inspired one
of Ezekiel Godbepraised.
'sThere is quite romance connected
with this ancestor of mine. He fell In
love with the only daughter OF Colonel
Fielding in the Cavaliers army, and not
being able to obtain her fathers consent
to their marriage Ezekiel abducted her
and for two years kept her hidden in a
dreary house that stood near the little
town of Formby, where son was born.
After battle little to the south OF the
River Mersey between the Cavaliers and
Roundheads her brothers discovered her
and carried her off to old Furness abbey.
In the hurry the child was left behind,
but as q result of the mothers pleading
one of the brothers returned to Formby
to get it.
''In the meantime Ezekiel had discoy-
cred his loss and removed the child.
Then the followed the brother back to
Furness abbey, but arrived too late. The
brother and sister had set sail from Bar
row beach for the isle of Man. A storm
came up, and Ezekiel arrived just in time
to see the boat founder. He returned to
his child more bitter against the royalists
than ever and brought the child up with
the same sentiments.
"At the close of the war Ezekiel adopt.
ed the trade of weaver and settled In
Barrow-in-Furness. Thus the name was
perpetuated, the stern commands OF the
father forbidding the son to throw off the
fanatical nickname when the heat of Pn'
ritanical zeal had given away. "-Phiia.
