BURNING OF THE EARTH.
Said That Collision with Nearest
Fixed Star May Be Source
Of Fire.

as predicted in the Second Epistle Of st
Peter. what is to cause the fire? DR.. ]
E. Gore, the British astronomer, finds
that no outburst of the sun from inter.
nal activity is likely to be sufficient, and
it is to heat from collision that we must
look. To collide with the nearest fixed
star the sun must travel at its present
rate for $4,000 years. The sun is speed
ing II miles per second toward Vega
(Alpha Lyrae), and it is possible that
one of the dark bodies of space may ap-
proach from that direction, or even now
be on the way. DR.. Gore calculates that
such a body having the suns mass and
earth's density would shine by the suns
light as ninth magnitude star on
reaching a distance of $4,000. 900. 600
miles. Moving at the suns velocity,
with gradual acceleration, it would Ap-
proach to 6,OO0 600, 900 miles in ten years.
when it would fash into naked eye view
as new star" of fifth magnitude. In
four years more 1t would be as near as
Uranus. in another year as near as Jupi-
ter, and far outshining both Jupiter and
Venus. Then the earth's distance
would be reached in 81 days, and the sun
in eight days more, the speed having in.
creased to 400 miles per second. The
collision would be colossal st. Pierre.
Both sun and collidlng body would be
vaporized within an hour, and the stu
pendous heat would destroy most of the
planets. If direct course were kept,
the strange BODY would not strike any
planet. But the body might be smaller,
and, if of the earth's size, would come
nearer than Uranus before detection,
giving only few months warning of
disaster.

the way they have of looking at q

A man who talks glibly to a woman
is generally put down as a most enter

A cynic is a man who has no time
for anyone but himself or those who
agree with him.
A woman in love Is an idealist Of
the most pronounced type, but who
may be brought over in time.
The warmth Of q woman's thanks
depends to great extent on the dim

which held the boards at the Uprr,

IN the line of dramatic productions
that has been seen here this season
and must have afforded those who like
the sensational type of drama enough
enjoyment to last them Il long while
The play was announced on the pro-
gram as the sensational comedy
melodrama," and il WAS all that was
claimed for it.
The plot and the four acts which
were required in its working out had
the fVo-ccnt library stories and the still
more lurid dime novels of the past
beaten to n standstill. 50 that by COM
parison they would have been as lack
ing of anything of a thrilling nature
as is a cook book.
The plot was the murder of Il young
and beautiful heireSS to secure her
thousands. and stage blood had to flow
in rivers in order to bring out thu
proper climax. There was an At
tempted murder in the first act, ana
when in the second act the villain cut
| loose and killed enc man and tried to
kill another and then set the place on
fire to burn both it looked for few
moments as if there would hardly be
enough people left to finish the play.
There was another murder attempted
in the third act. and so it went, one
hairbreadth escape after another. I'M
til at last the villain was foied and
the heroine saved. and the audience
| was permitted to breathe once again.
But though the style of play was not
such as would create desire on tho
part of many to see it again the work
of the troupe was not bad. w. II.
