THE EARTH AS 1T MIGHT BE.
What Would Happen If the Sun Sud-
denly Became Extinct.


The boldest imagination may well
stand appalled, at the consequences
of a sudden extinction of the sun.
For eight and a quarter minutes
the length of time that it takes the
light of the sun to reach the earth
we should not know that anything
had happened. Then the darkness
would fall upon the world, neither
the moon nor the planets would give
any light, and the fixed stars would
shine like tiny points of fire out of
coal black sky. The moisture of the
atmosphere would instantly CONCEAL
In a universal deluge of ice, the
small stock of heat possessed by the
earth would rapidly radiate into
space, and the temperature would
go on falling till degree of cold
more than 800 degrees below zero
would be reached, and the very gases
of the atmosphere would be liquefied
and fall on the frozen surface of the
planet.
Absolutely total darkness there
would not, of course, be and never
could be unless all the stars were ex-
tinguished. But relative darkness
would continue for an enormous pc
riod which can only be approximate
ly calculated. The solar system is
moving through space toward a
point in the constellation of Her
cules at speed of 150, 100000 miles
year, or four miles a second. But
there are no self luminous stars
within distance equal to 100000
times the distance between the earth
and the sun. Therefore this gigan-
tic gulf would have to be crossed be-
fore starlight became sunlight, and
this it would take some $4,000
years to do.
Toward the end of that period,
supposing always that the other
star systems had not moved CORE
spondingly, stars in Hercules would
begin to shine as suns, and the long
darkened solar system would be re-
Illuminated by rays of ever increas-
ing intensity until it fell into its ap-
pointed place as a portion Of those
distant systems. 1t should also be
mentioned that the tremendous
journey might not be performed
without collision with some other
burned out sun or darkened system
now invisible, in which case the
shock would regenerate light and
heat, and out Of the wrecks of the
two systems a new one would be
evolved.

Packing Trunks.

In packing trunks there often
comes that final hour of desperation
when, after last calls, muddy boots
go in on top of jet bonnet and the
last delayed washing on top of that,
or perhaps unread papers with
some friends speech are sacrificed
to wrap up these shoes. To avoid
this dilemma make. several pairs Of
bags of lightweight, washable stuff
(pieees Of summer dresses, percale,
lawn, ETC., may be used). Make but
one pair OF one color. Put each
shoe or slipper with its own bag,
not a pair together, as they viii rub
and viii not pack to advantage. In
searching for them the color of the
bags shows which are mates.

To be such successful VINE, to re-

If a woman finds that her energies

dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing

at once to build up her system by a

HORSE SENSE.
The Way Cunning Animal Kept the
CornfieId to Himself.

In a recent article on 'Horse
Sense In Germany" it is stated that
animals don't think. Now, l some
times think they do. When | was
q boy father had horse he called
Fox, and | think he was well named,
for he was very sly and cunning.
We had a pasture we called the
woods pasture. 1t was f shaped:
the L extending out to the turn
pike. The woods were divided by
a small prairie, which was well set
in blue grass, which afforded excel
lent fall pasture, and after our fall
and summer work was done we
would turn our horses all out IN
that pasture at night.
Our cornfeld extended from the
pike to the little prairie The fence
between the corn and pasture field
was not so high and strong as the
one next the pike. Fox could have
got into the corn from the pasture
with but little difficulty, but if he
had gone in from there the other
horses would likely have followed
him, and that would have given the
trick away. Some time in the night
Fox would leave the place where we
turned our stock out to pasture. 1t
was what we called a slip gate could
slip the rails out by laying down
two panels, then a long pole was
| laid along the fence and the end
laid in a cross of two stakes.
Fox would get his head under the
pole, lift it out of the fork, carry
it back out of his way and drop 1t,
then jump over the fence on to the
pike, and to reach the cornfeld he
had to pass between the house and
barn. The house being about fifty
feet from the road, he would take
the gutter farthest from the build
ing until he was out of hearing OF
those in the house and then take the
middle of the road. When he got
to the cornfield he selected a place
to get in under a tree, which OBJ
structed the fence somewhat, and
jumped in and ate what corn he
wanted. Then he went back the
same way. In the morning he would
be with the other horses, looking as
4 innocent as a lamb. He had kept
this up for several nights before we
caught him. Now, [ think he die

A Perverse Prima Donna.

Malibran and Sontag, the two ia
nous singers, were rivals and once
cast to sing in "Romeo and Juliet. "
Sontag was a German, very sweet
and gentle, but not so quick as Mali
bran, who was a Spaniard. The lat
ter, who played Romeo, did her
best to puzzle and torment poor
Juliet at rehearsaIs and when beg
ged by her to say on what part of
the stage she was going to fall in
the last scene always replied she
really did not know, really could not
tell. Sometimes she died in one
place, sometimes in another, just
as it happened. On the night of the
performance Sontag meekly appear
ed to follow Romeo, who maliciously
insisted on dying close down to the
footlights in front of the curtain.
Juliet fell dead by his side, and the
fair corpses had to be removed by
two red plush liveried footmen IN
good view Of the audience.

they are still called barns, al
though horseless-have different

night two green lanterns were
swinging from the rear. A passen-

the run see the green lights. Then
they know that their relief will APP

THE TELEPHONE LISTENER.

One of the most exasperating sub
jects with whom a man Or woman has
to deal in every day life is the indi-
vidual who has nothing to do but listen
to somebody else's conversation over
the telephone and make it difficult
and sometimes impossible for those
who have business to hear the party
with whom they are talking. What
is more exasperatiug il the fact chat
it is as impossible to detect the party
brea king the rules of decency as it is
to get an honest disclosure which
will, in the least degree, aid an officer
ii ferreting out a violator of the
LIQUOR law, In the case of the liquor
law it is always ga stranger" who
furnishes liquor and ia the case of the
telephone listener it is always a
stranger TO the party offended or
there would be some tongue lasmng
directed at something more specihc
than a transmitter and IN nearer
nroximitv than a telephone affords.
& There are two kinds of honor, the
honor that is true to mans sense OF
honor when nobody is looking and
there ia no danger of detection II he
fails to do the right thing and the
honor which plays to the grandstand
and evaporates when the eyes OF the
world are turned in the other dlrec-
tion and a chance is afforded to do
something that is unmanly without
standing in danger of detection. A

Lifting by Magnetism.

The lifting of massive iron and steel
plates. weighing four. six and twelve
tons. by magnetism is now done every
workday in number of large steel
works. The magnets are suspended by
chains from cranes and pick up the
plates by simple contact and without
the loss of time consequent to the ad-
justment Of chain and hooks in the
older method. 1t is also found that
the metal plates can be lifted by the
magnets while still so hot that 1t
would be impossible for the men to
handle them. A magnet weighing 800
pounds will lift nearly five tons.

Eve never gave Adam the apple. and
that the whole story Is myth. This
belongs to the realms Of theology. and
