LILO U u Scientists. sae

You don't care to die, but all the
same pray that you don't live long
enough on this earth to be its last
inhabitant.
Astronomers say that the day
must come when this earth will,
like the moon, wheel through the
heavens a dead and barren ball OF
matter-airless, waterless, lifeless.
But long, long before that time
man will be extinct, will have dis
appeared so utterly that not so
much as the bleached skeleton Of
a human being will be visible on
all the millions of square miles Of
the surface of the planet.
Unless by some huge and uni
versal catcaclysm the whole race is
swept at once into eternity it is
but reasonable to suppose that
man, like any other race of ami
mails, will disappear slowly, and
that eventually there will be but a
single human being left-some old.

horror of loneliness, and himself

He may be eaten by the vast rep

been growing thicker and heavier
for uncounted ages. The distance
from the South Pole to the edge
of the ice cap is 1.40O miles. The
ice rises steadily from the edge to
the center. At that center it can
not be less than twelve miles in
thickness. Southern ATTITUDES are
growing warmer. Suppose it
splits. Imagine the gigantic mass
of water and ice that will come
sweeping up north over the oceans
and continents of the earth.
Where then will the last man
breath his final gasp? High up in
the SHOWS of some great range he
will perish miserably of cold and
starvation, looking down on a
huge, shallow sea, beneath whose
tossing waters will lie the whole
of the races of the world.
Or. last, and prehaps drearest,
fate of all the human race may
outlive other mammals, and last
until the sun, as some day it must,
grows dull and cold, and vegeta-
ton dies from the chilled earth.
The miserable remnant of earth's
people must then slowly die out
after ages of an existence to which
that of the Esquimaux of today is
a paradise.

the purpose of enlisting recruits.
The officers of this regiment are
all West Point graduates, and the
enlisted men will all be taken from
the western states. The lieuten-
ant says as soon as the regiment is
filled they will sail for Manila.
He expects to recruit over 100 men
from this state. While in Devils

following recruits. Daniel B.

volume of carbonic acid gas.
Much Of this is taken up by
plants, but not all. It must in
crease and eventually poison the
breathable air, filling the valleys
and mounting slowly to the hill
tops, where the last remnants of
animal life are striving for exis-
tence. The last man will climb
higher, but eventually the sufo-
eating invisible flood vii reach
and drown him.
Again, it is said that the earth.
as it gets older, is cracking like
dry mud. These cracks will in
crease until at last they will let
the water Of the ocean and rivers
sink into the fiery center Of the
globe. Then will occur an explo-
sion so terrible as may startle the
inhabitants of neighboring worlds.
The last man in this case will
probably be some Arctic explorer
or Esquimaux whom the vast
plains Of ice around him will save
from instant death, and leave to
grill a few moments till the ice
continents are swallowed by red
hot gases and steam.
Surprising these earth cracks
develop more slowly, they may
suck away the water without
devastating explosions. Then the
last mans fate will be the worst
describable. He will die of thirst,
The scene of his death will prob
ably be the great valley in the bed
of the Atlantic Ocean off the Bra,
lillian coast, half way between Rio
Janeiro and the Cape, where now
six miles of green water lie be,
tween the steamers keel and the
abyssmal slime beneath. There.
hopelessly digging in the ever.
drying mud, he must perish and
leave his bones to narch on a
waterless planet.

Ia spite of this opposition the meas

danger. Again the same question
came up and the same arguments were
used against the acquisition of Oregon,
only this time was the Rocky Noun

that it was against the policy of the

was something the constitution made
no provision for and therefore was nn-
constitutional and something we had

thousand miles, and said their affec-
