1t has always been an intensely In
teresting conjecture to scientists and,
at the same time. the greater part Of
the other intelligent members of soci-
ETY. as to the way in which our world
will at length come to an end. Many
think that 1t will be through the gradu-
al cooling of the sun, which will even
tually fail to give out sufficient heat
to sustain life on our planet. But an
other-and a particularly unpleasant
fate that might befall US is explained
in work by Mr.. Ellard Gore. Real
danger says he, is always to be
feared from the presence of immense
dark bodies, moving unseen in space,
vast dead suns, whose collision with
our own would increase its heat
enormously and thus instantly destroy
the EARTH" We should not, however
be without a warning of our terrible
end, for on entering radius of 15,000,-
100000 miles from the sun the advanc-
ing body would begin to shine with re
fected light, and fifteen years would
elapse between the time Of the destroy
er's being sighted and its collision
with the sun.

Glass cuttino.

The layman who is introduced to the
mysteries of cutting glass for the first
time is amazed at the amount of work
that the workman does entirely by his
eye. The first stage of the bowl which
is to be cut finds it in perfectly plain
condition, not scratch upon it and
only half dozen or more marks in red
chalk, which mean absolutely nothing
to the Impractical eye. But to the
workman they mean the whole pat
tern. Perhaps the dish is salad bowl.
The marks in chalk will run from the
edge five intervals apart, down to the
center of the bowl at the bottom. In
one of the divisions of the bowl thus
marked there may be little further
marking in the shape perhaps of a
diamond This indicates the pattern
into which the bowl is to be cut, and
it will be repeated in each of the five
divisions. All the intricacies of the
design the workman has in his head,
and they develop on the glass in way
which seems to the locker on absolute
ly marvelous.-NewY York Times.

Absentminded.

She was an exceedingly dainty lit
tie woman, who was taking a very
great interest in the welfare Of the
convicts when she was being shown
through the penitentiary the other day.
Guard O'Brien was along when she
happened to speak to one of the prison
ers. Il am so sorry for you," she re
marked in tender tone of voice. i"Of
course you will be very thankful when
the time comes for you to leave this
dreadful place"
NO" retorted the man. "I'd a sight
rather stop here where / am" The
little woman almost collapsed.
isn't it stranger she asked, turn
ing to the guard. Il had no idea the
prisoners were so contented. What
was the poor fellows offense?'
The guard concealed a covert grin.
HE was just little absentminded,
that was ALL" followed the grin.
"Absentmindedv exclaimed his as
tonished interrogation.
Eyes, madam" politely replied
O'Brien. HE persisted in forgetting
he was married, and now when his
time is up he has five wives awaiting
him on the outside"
The woman coule not deny that the
convict had sufficient reasons to be
conrented with his present lot.-Colum

Bascom and His Students.

John BascOm, once president Of the
University of Wisconsin, always had
keen insight into men, and for much
of his life college students constituted
mankind for him. Once when he was
a class officer the names of two men
were read by him as absent from
morning prayers. One of them, pie
fist, stopped at his desk and said:
Professor, when the chapel bell was
ringing | was engaged in prayer and
did not hear it,
You're not excused" responded
John, with contempt in his eye and
in his voice
Then, calling back the other man,
who was about at the door on his way
out of the room, he saiu to him:
whats your excuse?'
Il haven't any, sir"
you're excused
He used to have debates in his class
room. At one of them a student, whom
BascOm subsequently described as a
''foriating fellow" in the heat of his
eloquence said, Il wish that / had
the ability and the time to exhaust
this subject"
You have the time." said Bascom.-

BAR ON PENNILESs SWANS,
Man Who Webs Dakota Society Mem
Der Must Have $1,000.


Ten or fifteen young women of Mid
land, west of Pierre, S. D., have form
ed the Manageable Young Ladies,
Protective society, and its avowed OBJ
ject is the promotion of sensible mar
riages and the prevention of domestic
unhappiness and of divorce proceed
ings after marriage
Each of the members of the society
has signed an agreement not in any
circumstances to marry a man who
has less than $1,000 in cash or its
equivalent and who has not insurance
upon his life of $1,000 or more, says
the St. Louis Dispatch.
The young women who organized the
society argue that poverty is the pri-
mary cause of most Of the domestic
unhappinesS and that most Of the di-
vorce suits grow out of it. They take
the position that if all manageable
young women of the country would
take the pledge they have taken and
stand by it faithfully society would be
very greatly benefited, and the divorce
courts, now so busy, would soon be
driven out of business.
I'VE have organized our society not

young women, '.but in spirit of ear
