Writina "Finisn to the World.

AS hardly two men agree just how
the world will come to an end, 1t is,
perhaps, not worth worrying about and
ct any rate all the theorists except
Prof. Marienburg, of the University
OF Chicago, agree that
When you and 1 beyond the vale have
passed,
Oh, what a long, long time the world
will lastl
Prof Marienburg thinks we shall be
frozen or burned up IN about twenty
years by the earth getting out of It's
orbit.
Prof Dewar thinks that we are la
bic to be struck by a comet; in fact,
that the earth has been struck before
by one and survived It, II. G. Wells
also imagines that q comet may Whisk
us into eternity with a toss Of its
playful tail, while many biologists
are in favor of humiliation by means
Of an ice cap, which they apply in
different ways. Some think that the
Ice cap will come toward the equator
from the north and south Simultaneous
ly and crush out all human life; others
that the earth Will develop poles on
the line now known as the equator and
new equator will be formed which
will run through the present poles.
Grant Aliens theory is that the crust
Of the earth will subside like the crust
of huckleberry pie newly baked and
the molten lava well up and cover the
surface as the juice of the pie wells up
and forms a pool on top OF the pie
crust when the pie is cooling. Others
declare that the final cataclysm will
be that the earth VIII fall into the sun
and be burned up with all on board.
Still other scientists" assert that our
planet is rapidly cooling off and that
it is only a question Of time when 1t
will be in the same condition as the
moon is now.
For such as do not fancy 50 slow and
| prosaic an ending there is the more
strenuous theory of a grand explosion
which shall shatter the terrestrial globe
into ten thousand fragments and send
| them hurting through space. This
| explosion will be caused by the waters
| of the oceans getting into the interior
of the earth and generating gases and
| steam which will rend the world. A
! respectable number Of learned men
! provide for the extinction of human
| life on the earth by the loss of the
| light and heat of the sun, which, they
assure us, Is gradually cooling off and
! will eventually fail US altogether, when
| the whole solar system Will wander
| darkly through space.
| One can take his choice OF theories
| there IS no charge. In looking them
/ all over, however, the most surprising
| thing is that, beset with all these per-
| lis, the world has lasted so long-New

ing its interests.
1t is fitting that some testimonial of
the respect due to those men should
be preserved, and inasmuch as st. Paul
has not yet given to any of her faith
ers or sons the distinction of a monu-
ment, the device of naming its streets
after them is creditable. In this man
ner the names of men who have been
In their graves for years, having left
forever the town in which they strug
gled against early adversities are kept
In the memory of the growing genera
tons.
But the names Of streets become so
commonplace through familiarity and
constant repetition that no thought is
given to the men who once bore these
names. How often are the hamlet
fathers brought to mind In this rush
ing work-a-day life when on street cars
or in conversation we hear drawled
out the names of many Of the citys
principal streets?

McROal street is designated with a
popular nickname which the early set
tiers bestowed upon James Mcclellan
Boal. He was discharged from the
army at Fort Smelling and settled in
st. Paul, identifying himself with her
interests. He was generally called by
all who knew him as "McBoal." a con-
traction of his real name. The name
has been perpetuated in the designa-
ton of the street Frequent attempts
were made to correct the error, but
somehow the name has remained. A
street was named after W. H. Forbes,
a well known merchant Of the early
days, but the street has been divided
and its name has been changed. What

Maj. Fisher has an excellent war re-

he received a common and private

the poor are better of IN other Ameri-
can cities than they are in New York.
Walking through typical East Side
streets, such as Houston, Thompson,
Sullivan, Elizabeth and Prince, a
Londoner finds it impossible to pity
the jewellers in the tenements. They
are laughing and joking. The young
sters are romping and playing in the
| streets. Their mothers are sitting on
the "stoops" chatting merrily about
the days events. The men are loung-
ing outside the corner saloon, smoking
pipes or cigars, and telling one an
other about their bets on the latest
big smuggling match. Everybody is
having a good time. They look we'll
fed, happy, smiling and fairly we'll
clad.
You could not see such people in the
slums of London. There they would
be pale-faced, tired out. consumptive

The East End woman has no heart

An unskilled laborer in London
earns at the most Ell week ($s), and
his employment is casual. Often he
gets a job for couple of days, and
then is out of work for a couple of
weeks. Many laborer works regu-
larly all the year around, all his life
long, for So or 81 a week, and thinks
himself lucky in having a permanent
job. The New York laborer who only
got $40 a week would think himself
unfortunate.
And so the contrast might be made
through every avenue of employment,
always greatly to the advantage OF
America. London is selected for this
contrast because it is more prosperous
than most of the big cities of the Old
World. The condition of the poor is
worse in Paris, in St. Petersburg, in
Berlin, in Rome, in Naples; while, if
the general opinion is TO be trusted,

no supper
This is a common incident in the
lives of thousands of families in Lon
don, as everybody who has lived in
the East End knows. 1t may occur
now and then on the East Side, but it
is not common. Very few families in
New York do not, at the least, always
have enough TO eat.
There is no truer picture of East
End life than Kipling's story, "The
Record of Badalia Herodsfoot." Ba-
dalia is a slum dweller of great force
of character who becomes almoner of
the various charities working in her
own locality, Gunnison street. When
people object that she may pau
perize" her neighbors, she retorts:
| You can't pauperize them as 'asn't
things to begin with. They're bloomin'
we'll pauped. The women they can't

ed the doubly shiftless, thrftless girl
wife into a little forethought, and
begged clothes when and where she
could for the scrofulous babies tha

untopped water-cisterns. So she
went on until her own drunken hus
band kicked her brains out one nigh
because she would not give him thu

the average poor family on the East
Side can easily earn from $40 to SIS
week if the father and two or three
of the children work And then they
would be in hard luck.
The family with f3 a week ($r5)
in London would not be poor at all.
1t would belong to the comfortable
middle classes and 'live in Easy
street"
But" an American may object,
"wha. about the difference in the cost
of living? When you take that into
account you will find that we are not
such lucky people as you think"
There is a difference, of course, but
it is not nearly so great as most peo-
pie suppose. 1t does not correspond
by any means TO the difference in
wages. | have made a careful COM
parison of the principal items of ex-
pendture in a poor family-rent, food,
clothing, car or railroad fares, doc
tors fees, etc.-and the figures show
that in New York the cost is from
one and half times to twice as much
as in London. Wages, on an average,
are nearly four times as high, and en-
ployment is infinitely easier to OBJ
tain.
THE Law of Elevenpence Ha' Penny"
Sir Walter Besant, who knew the
East End of London as well as any
man, wrote in THE Children of
Gideon" about "the law of eleven
pence ha' penny" No girl or woman
in London, he contended, could earn
more than that sum (23 cents) per day
by working in factory, or by sewing
at home, or by such unskilled work as
making match-boxes and artificial
flowers. Elevenpence ha' penny, in
his judgment, was the maximum earn
ed by the .cleverest and quickest work
ers: the rank and file fell far below it.
| The East Side girl would scorn any
job that only brought her in SI.3S a
week. A young, inexperienced girl
can go into a New York factory and
get 81 or So at once as a beginner
| When she Is experienced she will earn
So or $40. If she earned $40 in Lon
don she would be living in her own
rooms. going to the theatres and the
restaurants, and leading the life of a
bachelor girl of the middle class.
Girls seem 10 be paid less in stores
than in factories all the world over
A cash girl in a New York depart
ment store gets So, 81 or S. week
In London shop she gets 81, SI.2s
or ST. so, and there are dozens of ap-
plicants for every vacancy.
