THE DEATH OF THE WORLD.
Scientists Fail to Agree as to How
the End VIII Come.

Scientists seem to agree that the
earth some day is to be destroyed by a
gigantic cataclysm, but fail to agree
upon the chow" DR.. Henry Smith
Williams, in writing in Harper's
Monthly on "Some Unsolved Scientific
Problems" says:
'If so much uncertainty attends
these fundamental questions as to the
earth's past and present, it is not
strange that open problems as TO her
future are still more numerous. We
have seen how, according to Professor
Darwin'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 fallibillty 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 as to the earth's ultimate fate.
Thus it has been suggested that, even
should the suns heat not forsake us,
our day will become month long and
llltH .tdI loliSs AlltiN al iiiN Nhtti Va
the globe must ultimately filter into its
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, If it exists,
or, in default Of that, meteoric friction,
must ultimately bring the earth back
to the sun.
"But in all these prognostications
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 GEN.
tury is a prophecy of evil-if annihila-
tion be an evil. But it 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

An Interrupted Feast.

There dwell In one of the handsome
residences of Tioga an elderly lady and
her daughter. The mother recently
went out Of the city for few days
stay. On the day she left the daughter
informed the colored cook early In the
morning that she would visit friend
and would not return until o'clock at
night.
But the friend was not at home, and
the daughter came to the city to shop
and returned home at @ o'clock instead
of three hours later. She found ten
colored couples in the parlor, and the
table in the dining room was set for 20
persons, with the silver pieces and best
china in evidence. In the kitchen the
cook was busy preparing feast. When
her eyes fell upon her young mistress,
the servant exclaimed In horror: "Good
gracious, you done come home so soon!
Why, Use invited NAH friends TO din
nah. Deed didn't expect you"
The young woman said she was sure
OF that. Result: Colored friends left the
house hungry: cook, too; girl invited
neighbors In, and all enjoyed the feast;

After he had made his purchase L said
quietly TO him: You have made n
mistake in buying those His reply

Kidney Pills are worth all the others
