The End of the World.

Here are six views on the end of the world that have been given out by emi- nent scientists during recent years:
 The land surface is diminishing; the human race will be finally drowned.
 Ice Is accommodating at the north pole; some day the earth will fall out of bal ance and man will be utterly annihi- lated by the rush of moving objects.
 The earth is gradually approaching the sun; the last man will therefore finally be roasted alive.
 Water is slowly growing scarcer; in the ages to come all human beings and animals will perish for the want of a drop of moisture to cool their~parehed tongues.
 With the beginning of the year 5000 A. D. man will commence to retro grade and will finally come to be a creature no larger than a plant louse.
 The sun is burning up; as she cools the earth's glacial zones will enlarge and the last remnant of humanity will be frozen in a heap. -4-

The Easter Rabbit.

Last week we stated what we knew about the rabbits relation to Easter, but the Millerton Telegram has an article by Miss M. A. White of Miller ton that explains the myth" more fully. Several Easters have come and gone since we were a child and the legend was very. hay in our mind, only the main idea-that rabbits laid the Easter eggs-remaining. For the benefit of others who have forgotten the legend, and for the benefit of others, like Col Card and Dave Dempsey, who have never heard it. we copy Miss Whites explanation from the Telegram
 The relation of the rabbit to Easter arises from pretty German legend. Germany Is the home of the Easter egg, and the Germans believe the story that hundreds of years ago certain countess gave great Easter festival to the child ren. In grove numberless nests were made in which colored eggs were placed; one of the children saw g hare jump out from behind the bushes where one of the nests was and declared it was the hare that had laid the eggs,-and then all the children exclaimed "Yes, yes, the little hare laid the colored eggs" and from that day down to this the hare has had whole lot to do with Easter.

Vanness entered the employ of the road at it's opening in 1863 and is running there yet. How much longer he will continue to pick up tickets from pas sengers is a question, for the Rockville railroad was sold Saturday to the New York, New Haven & Hartford after several weeks of negotiations. The road is four and half miles long, and runs between the Connecticut towns of Rockville and Vernon. The total amount of stock in the road is $108, 750. The road has been operated by the N. Y, N.

Boys, Cleverness With Flowers.


 If the public schools ever add to the curriculum the making of bouquets as a fine art, the boys will take much higher honors than the girls, lament ed a perplexed teacher. 'I used to wonder why 1t was that all the em- ployees in a florists establishment were men. Having no other explaRa- ton to fall back on, I concluded that the preference was due to their supe- rior physical strength, but know now that it is because they have better taste in the arrangement of flowers With all her supposed inherent talent in the matter of home adornment there isn't one girl in a thousand who can make a lot of flowers up into a decent bouquet without coaching, while, or the other hand, the boy who cannot put them together in artistic style is rare."-New York Press.

Volcanic Functions.

Terrific as are the forces of volcanic action, they have served and do yet serve their ordained purpose in the magnificent scheme of cosmic develop ment. Volcanoes form a natural vent for the pent up internal forces result ing from the slow cooling and consoli- dation- of the earths mass. They act as the safety valves of the world. with out which the crust of the earth would In all probability burst with explosive force and with a resulting cataclysm appalling to contemplate.
