When we examine Mars, we can
not help noticing the comparative
smallness of its water surface. The
seas on Mars cover but one-half of
the planets surface, while on our
earth the proportion the water sur
~ to %. The conclusion seems to be
that the older the planet the small
er the oceans. This view seems
startling at first, but it has been
confirmed by scientists such as Ster-
ny Hunt of America, FARMLAND of
England, Meunier of France and
Seemann of Germany. According to
their theory, the oceans of the plan
ct, rs it grows older, are withdrawn
into cavities, while the atmosphere
grows rarer and rarer, until life be-
comes an impossibility Finally the
planet becomes waterless and airless
and arrives at the final stage of
death. We have this period repre-
sented by the moon, and it shows
how our earth will be when it has
reached this stage, going around
the sun a mere graveyard, carrying
the memories of past life. =
So we have to accept the evidence
that death has to come upon the
earth at some future time, however
unpleasant the thought may be, and
that after life has gone from our
earth it may pass to the larger plan
cts Then, after millions of years,
during which Jupiter and the other
planets of the solar system may be-
come the abode of life, a period
may come when death will reign
throughout the whole planetary sys-
tenn. Then life may pass TO another
solar system, and so, age after age,
the worlds will live on, throughout
eternity, chanting the glorious
epic of creation. the poem Of the
universe. We may find a new
meaning that would better agree
with our ideas of an almighty pow.
er. 1t is not with less reverence for
the universe and for the power
which works in and through it that
we must pursue our study of the
heavens. In the words of Tennyson: :
Let knowledge grow from more to more.
Let more of reverence in as dwell.
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before.

exist, after the manner of life known
to us. In the sun, the ruler of the
planetary system, we have an orb
representing the earlier stage of the
past history of our earth, when it
was mass of glowing vapor. The
glory of the sun and his fiery heat
assure us, as with the clearest words,
that he is in the infancy of his ca
reer as an orb in space. The spec
troscope reveals to us that many of
the elements to be found on our
earth exist in the sun in the form of
glowing vapor With regard to the
mean density of the sun, we find
that instead of being far more com.
pressed than the earth, as we might
expect from its enormous mass were
it in the same condition, it has
mean density only one-fourth of
hers. All these features prove that
the sun is in the first stage of world
life, the glowing, vaporous stage,
when the whole frame of planet is
instinct with fiery heat and aglow
with intense 1uster.
We will find the second stage of
a worlds growth in the giant planet
Jupiter. At this period of its exist
ence the earth was surrounded by
deep masses of clouds, the water
was boiling on its surface, the whole
air was red hot. The heat was so in
tense that the water could no more
have rested on that surface than it
can rest on q surface of redhot ron.
Vast quaint ties of steam rushed up
ward, passing with terrific uproar
into the upper air. The waters now
forming the seas and oceans on our
earth were then in the form of va
por. At this stage of its career the
whole frame of the earth was envel-
oped by dense clouds. These clouds
We're in an atmosphere drenohed

t4E LOST HIS NERVE.
After This Affair With the Sheriff Wild
Jim Was a Changed Man.


Jim Was a Changed Man.
A score of us saw the man he
came cantering into the frontier
town ON his cayuse, and more than
one remarked how singular it was
that he was unarmed. He hitched
his horse to D post in front OF the
Big Elk saloon, and had just disap-
peared within the door of the shan
g when man came running up
and exclaimed:
Boys, that's the sheriff over at
Deadwood, and he's come for Wild
jim!
We crowded into the saloon to see
what would happen. There were
five men playing poker at one table
and three at another. One of the
men was Wild Jim, who was want
ed for murder. On entering the
place the sheriff had backed up
against the bar and faced the play
ers. Wild Jim had leaped to his feet
and pulled a gun with either hand,
and the other players leaned back
and looked around to see what was
going on.
After me, Joe?" queried Wild
Jim as he stood with guns presented.
Eyes"
"Going to take me dead or alive?"
Eyes
"You cant take me alive, and if
you move hand I'll drop youl'
The sheriff smiled and looked
around the room and back at Wild
Jim and queried:
How does the game stand, Jim?"
Eve just dealt hand. y
"All right-finish it. .
Wild Jim sat down and took five
minutes to play out the hand. Then
he looked up and said
Sure you want me, Joe?"
DOG sure.
jest come for me?"
jest for you. .
"Then I'm goin to kill you where
you standr'
he raised the gun IN his right
hand and blazed away, firing six
shots as fast as his finger could pull
trigger. The sheriff never moved.
When the smoke had rolled out of
the open door and we could see him,
he stood in the same position and
his face wore the same smile. One
bullet had burned his cheek-a Sec
ond had grazed his cara third had
cut through his shirt collar under
the left ear. Wild Jim was dead
shot, and yet he had missed his man
at Is feet.
'Gct through, Jim?" asked the
sheriff. breaking a silence that was
positively painful.
And you-you are not heeledr'
gasped Jim as his arm sunk slowly
down.

Il knew of course that the ascent
of the pyramids was difficult, but it
had been the dream of my life to
mount TO the top of Cheops, and
was not come so far to achieve it
and then turn back with my pur-
pose undone BY the way, didn't
you always suppose did--that the
pyramids and the sphinx stood in
the midst of a level stretch of sand?
! am sure that the several pictures
of the sphinx whispering to an eager
nearer always portray the surround
ings so But, in truth, there is what
one night call rolling country, set
thick with Iillocks
II climbed Cheops. Each block is
as high as table, and the resting
places are only about three inches
in width. This makes hard work of
it, as you may imagine. and would
render it impossible if it were not
for the help of the guides. When
we reached the fiat top--that, too,
gives scant elbow room-my hus-
band thought / was about to faint,
but with the aid of little water
was soon myself again ana able, by
grasping the flagstaff, to look off at
the superb view. That look from
the summit was compensation for
all the fearful climb.
But now another consideration
held sway. We had over 400 feet to
descend, and if the coming up had
been difficult ! wondered what the
going down would be. My husband
at last set off between two men, who
told him blithely to jump from one
block to another Think what that
meant-jump ones way down 400
feet, each leap to be about liz feet,
and with the expectation of landing
on q narrow ledge of less than four
inches. Irefused to do it, | made
up1ny own mind that the only meth
cd for me TO pursue was the primi-
tive one learned from seeing my
children at home slide down the
stairs. So deliberately seated my
self between my two native assist
ants and began to slip along as best
] might. / found this mode of pro-
ceeding so great an improvement
although can t recommend it either
as easy-upon that which my poor
husband was painfully carrying on
that | called out to him to follow my
example. He watched me for a mo-
ment and then concluded to take my
advice. In this manner we did az
length arrive at the foot of Cheops
once more. But, oh, my dear, our
clothesl My husbands trousers
were torn into shreds, and my trav-
cling gown was what is known as
a sight to behold We talk of climb
ing the ladder of fame. 1t isn't to
be mentioned with climbing one of
the pyramids of Egypt. New York
