THE DEATH OF THE WORLD.
seientists Fail to Agree az TO How

Scientists seem to agree that the
earth some day Is TO be destroyed by a
gigantic cataclysm, but fail to agree
upon the how" DIR. Henry Smith
Williams. In writing In Harper's
Monthly ON Some Unsolved Scientific
Problems" says:
"If so much uncertainty attends
these fundamental questions rs TO the
earth's past and present. 1t is not
strange that open problems as TO her
future are still more numerous. We
have seen how, according to Professor
Darwln's computations. the moon
threatens TO come back to earth with
destructive force some day. Yet Pro
fessor Darwin himself urges that there
are elments of fallibility In the data
involved that rob the computation OF
all certainty.
much the same thing Is true of per.
haps all the estimates that have been
made rs TO the earth's ultimate fate.
Thus 1t has been suggested that, even
should the suns heat not forsake us.

depths and all the air fly off into
space. leaving our earth as dry and as
devoid of atmosphere as the moon, and,
finally, that ether friction, II II exists,
or In default of that, meteoric friction,
must ultimately bring the earth back
to the sun.
"But In all these representations
there are possible compensating factors
that vitiate the estimates and leave
the exact results In doubt. The last
word of the cosmic science Of our cen
fury IS prophecy of oyil-if annihila-
ton be an evil But II Is left for the
science OF another generation TO point
out more clearly the exact terms in
which the prophecy is most likely to
be fulfilled

INTERPRETATION.

We long for peace that is lasting.
We plead for rapture that's rare.
Like fishermen ceaselessly casting
Their nets in the gulf Of despair.
We draw from deep waters OF sorrow
Dark wrecks OF old failure and fear,
And out of sea silence We borrow
The storm that will never come near.
Faith speeds past the footsteps Of duty
And halts at the door of tomb;
Thought pierces the source OF all beauty
And returns unto dust-'tis the doom
OF each man child to strive and to wonder,
To plan FOR some positive gain,
And only find mysteries under
All life, be it pleasure or pain.
Lo, in realms Of the mind there is treasure
For toilers who dwell in content;
There is truth that no science can measure,
Aud the fearless are never forspent;
There is light when earth shadows are falling,
There's reward for the deeds that are done,
Where envy crowned virtues arc calling,
Through faith is thy victory WON'T

CAR FARES IN GERMANY.
The Method of Collection and In
auction preNents Free Rides

The Method OF Collection and In
spection Prevents Free Rides.
The chances of evading fares ON the
street cars of German cities are very
slight, When passenger steps on u
car. the conductor Immediately asks
where he is going and then prepares
his ticket, which serves also as Il re-
celpt for the fare. The preparation of
ticket consists only In detaehing It
from block and punching 1t or mark
ing II with pencil.
This process involves much more
work than the simple process OF ring
ing up the fares. as conductors do In
America, but the task is lightened by
the fact that only "A certain number of
persons are permitted To ride on II ear
at the same time The number of sit
ting and standing places is plainly
marked ON each car. If car is de-
signed TO carry 80 persons. no more
than 30 persons will be permitted on
thai cnr III the same time. When any
thing in Germany is forbidden, 1t Is

ors are employed who spend their time
In ascertalning whether the conductors
are doing their duty. These inspectors
step into the cars and ask the passen-
gers for their tickets. They note the
number of the tickets and whether they
correspond with the stubs retained by
the conductor. The clerk who gives
out the blocks of tickets to the coll
ductors notes the number of the upper
most ticket and Mt the return OF each
block collects from the conductor who
returned II ns many fares as there are
tickets detached
The rate of fares varies from 21a
cents to 3, according to the distance
Small children are carried for one half

may secure ticket which entities him
