THE AUTOMOBILE GIRL.


There's the girl wLo is IN in the saddle at
six,
In veil and a habit Of blue,
TO gather the roses Of health for her
cheeks
While the park is still shining with dew,
And the girl who is out in the opaline
dawn
And away for spin on her wheel;
But there is another who leaves them be-
hind,
The girl in the automobile
When over the floor of the ballroom she
glides
Tn the dangerous dance she is fair.
In simmer Of satin and glimmer of pearls,
With a rose dropping low in her hair.
But see her by day in the coat and the cap
Which fashio2 has stamped with its seal,
And where is tFa man but surrcnders his
heart
To the girl in the automobile!
She matches her speed with the swallow
above
AS be skins in the blue unconfned,
And gives but touch to her tireless ma.
chine
And Iol she has left him behind.
The wind is laggard as miles of the road
Like silvery ribbons unreel.
And cupid's the chauffeur who sits by the
side
Of the girl in the automobile.
Like the breeze in its fight, or the passage
of light,
Or swift as the fall of star,
She comes and she goes in a nimbus OF
dust,
A goddess enthroned on car.
The maid Of the motor, behold her erect
With muscles as steady as steel,
Her hand on the lever and always in front,
The girl in the automobile.

A little girl who had noticed or

THE END OF THE WORLD.
Mars Will Let Us Know When 1t Is
About to Come.

In McClure's Magazine, DR.. Simon
Newcomb presents some speculations
which are noteworthy as rejecting the
theory of modern astronomical science.
Prof. Newcomb no doubt would dis
claim any intention to play the part of
prophet. His essay, in fact, is dis
guised as fiction. But the parallel be-
tween "the end of the world as he
portrays it and the current theory of
the laws governing heavenly bodies is
obvious. The time of his story is
placed far in the remote future and
the Inhabitants of the earth are
warned by signals from those in Mars
that a dark star is falling rapidly
through the heavens toward the sun.
into which it will fall within a few
months. The fatal collision takes
place, the sun breaks forth in an APP
palling burst of flaming heat and in
the ensuing days every vestige of life
and civilization on earth has been de-
stroyed.
1t Is interesting to note that Prof.
Newcomb's story, fantastic as it
seems, is substantially in accord with
the views of other advanced astronom-
ers as to what might be the ultimate
fate of the earth. Sir Robert Ball esti-
mates that within view of our tele-
scopes we have probably 100,000,000
stars and that this number must be
multiplied by millions if we are to
form an even tolerably accurate esti-
mate of the number of dark and in
visible bodies which are passing
through space in all directions. That
collision between two of these bodies
occasionally takes place is practically
conceded, the sudden appearance Of
new stars" being accounted for as
a result of the tremendous impact of
colliding bodies and the conversion of
energy into light and heat. What the
result of such a clash of heavenly bod
les must be is shown by Sir Robert
Balls estimate that were the earth to
encounter an obstacle sufficiently
large to stop 1t in its motion around
the sun-not counting its forward mo-
ton in concurrence with the rest of
the solar systematic collision would
generate as much heat as could be
produced by the combustion of IL
globes of solid coal each as heavy as
the earth. Chicago News.

M.k,ng saltpeter From Air.

For ages whenever persons wished
to make a particularly strong state
ment about the impossibility of doing
anything, they were more likely than
not to say, Il can't pull it out OF the
air, can I?''
Row Professor Muthmann, or the
PoIytechnical Academy in Munich, has
found way by which many things
can be pulled out of the air. He has
demonstrated that by passing high cleo
trio currents through moist air from
one platinum point to another. nitric
acid is formed and can be gatheevu
by the use of suitable apparatus. He
has shown that saltpeter can be pulled
out of the air" at less than one-fourth
of its present cost.-New York Press.
