BE FAIR AND USE COMMON SENSE

The water question is still IN an UNI
satisfactory and unsettled condition,
The real cause OF the difficulty Is rot
only scarcity Of water, but OF a DISPOSE
ton TO regard neghborly rights and
necessities. The spirit of fairness and
mutual regard does not figure very
prominently in the disputes that have
arisen. 1t Is to be hoped that In the
course Of a few days, the rights Of the
city and those Of the farmers viii be
adjudicated and that with the Increased
flow which Will be obtained when the
pumping plant is in full operation,
there WIN be ample water to supply the
needs Of all parties concerned
That there Is "a great waste of water
through evaporation, seepage and other
causes that might be averted by the
exercise Of skill and labor including Of
course some expense. there Is little
doubt. But some Of the schemes sug-
gested as remedy show the absence
Of good judgment and even OF common
sense. Take, for instance. the piping
notion advanced by the City Attorney
and endorsed by morning paper, For
the chief end In view It Is utterly
absurd.
The city expects and intends to sup
ply the farmers who are lighting the
municipality, with their proper quota
OF water under the new measurement,
by means Of the canal within a very
short time. This will obvlate the turn

THE END OF THE WORLD.

Two noted writer's have lately en-
deavored 10 give a forecast Of the final
fate Of the earth we inhabIt. one OF
them is NJ. Louis Rabordin, quoted
In Public Opinion, He supposes that,
in consequence OF an extraordinary
movement produced by a contraction
Of the central mass OF the earth the
bottom Of the sea win cave in, and that
the water be precipitated upon the
burning interior. The consequence
would be that the water would become
decomposed, The hydrogen would
burn. The greater part Of the earth's
crust would be dislOcated, and the
earth would return to chaos. 1t would
become a globe Of IRE, And there
would be presented TO the worlds which
gravitate In sidereal space a new star,
suddenly illuminated, the brightness Of
which would gradually increase, but
slowly llFappear forever In the pro-
found shadows OF lllmitable space. The
earth's crust will not. however, he ar
guos, be thrown into the air. It's divided
parts win not be projected into space;
they will be coagulated in the mass on
which they lay and the gas which is
brrn on this burning mass, compressed
under the chaos OF the crust, will spread
to the exterior under enormous press
ura This Is what Is revealed in the
sTectrum of all Of the new stars which
have appeared IN the past few years.

According TO Mr. George Camp
