According to the ideas of Professor
Crookes, as announced recently in an
address before the international con-
gress of chemists held in Berlin the
world is in a slim way for reaching a
much longer period of existence. The
professor sees signs of a general break
Up. He thinks that all forms of matter
have one common basis and that all
his matter is rapidly degenerating into
the common and original "protyle"-in
fact that the universe is lapsing into
its original chaos. We are told that
his has long been a pet theory of the
professor, n that he of late has dis
covered fresh evidence of the truth of
his ideas. So We all had better begin to
prepare for the change. When it comes
ii will be with a rush and there will be
no time then for settling up our world
ly affairs and making arrangements for
the new conditions.
