INORGANIC ASSAsSINs

The busybodies of science are still at
their deadly work Of devising ways ana
means to compass the destruction of
life on this hospitable old planet. The
old-time orthodox calamity, by which
an avenging flame was promised that
would accomplish the mischievous work,
had its advocates until science began
to advance some pointed questions.
The controversy waxed warm for a
time. and then the respectable old plan
of burning up a world with fire from
nowhere fell into disrepute. The scien-
tific accessories then introduced their
grand assassin to his prospective vic
tins. and thereupon the organic world
became acquainted with his excellency,
the Absolute Zero of Temperature. The
French astronomer Flammarion gives
a gloomy picture of the manner in
which Zero is to prosecute his cam
paign and as the last two human sur
vivors of Flammarion look into each
others eyes while they gradually freeze
to death at the equator, the imagina-
tive reader is ready to discard Zero and
take back his discredited predecessors.
But 1t now happens that science has
discovered the genuine destroyer and
Zero himself stands discredited The
new assassin is Chemical Affinity, and
his method is refinement of thievery.
The French scientists have discovered
that the atmosphere is being gradually
robbed of its DEMONSTRATING oxygen.
Chemical Affinity is the robber, and he
uses the waters of the oceans in order
to reach the atmosphere. His work is
being done rapidly, surely and continu-
ously.
The metallic bases in the bowels of
the earth are forever undergoing oxida-
ton by contact with the waters that
reach them from the ocean depths. But
it follows that as the free oxygen in the
water combines with the metals, the
place it has abandoned must be supplied,
and in order to do this, the everything
atmosphere must furnish the necessary
oxygen. But now the oxygen that has
combined and formed a mineral oxide
in the universal depths is lost forever to
the organic world, so that it becomes
only a question of time until the at
mosphere. deprived of its oxygen, will
no longer sustain life. Thus in Chem
ical Affinity we have the latest scientific
assassin, whose insidious method has
startled the organic world.
