Scientific Forcsast 70 Made by a
Learned .s'clecscr.

A scientific forecast of how the end
OF TIE world might come has been
given by Prof. ElIard Core. His theory
is that final cataclysn may possibly
be tn result OF collision between
the sun and some dark dead, derellct
planet Although astronomers have
no actual proof that such dead suns
exist, without life or light, and career
ing about in space, they believe It
quite possible. TIE result of a col
lision between the sun and a dark
planet would be that the formers
light and heat would be enormously
increased and the earth instantly de-
stroyed by combination. Prof. Gore
tells how we should be warned OF our
approaching doom. When about $780,
100000 miles from the sun the dark
body would begin to shine by rejected
light. In about ten years 1t would
have become so bright as to be visible
to the naked eye. In Is years 1t would
be brighter than any object except the
moon Very soon afterward would
come the great catastrophe Of its col
lision, moving at 400 miles a second
with the sun moving at The same
speed"

John Barrett, chief of the bureau of
American republics, after various
other experiments in diplomacy, came
to Washington from Oregon during
President Cleveland's second term to
get anything he could.
He brought bunch of Oregon
boomers with him, and for a time
they stayed at the best hotels. The
job was slow in coming and they went
from cheaper place to cheaper place,
like Mark Twains officeseeker, until
they were forced to eat at one of the
lunch places on Pennsylvania avenue.
One night, while they were eating
dinner, word came that President
Cleveland had decided to appoint
Barrett minister to Siam. Barrett
rose from the table and put on his
coat.
Hold on, John" cried one OF his
companions in misfortune; where are
you going? Aren't you going to finish
your dinner?"

stalked out, this is no place for the

RAILWAYS BUILT FOR WAR.
Russia Has Recently Completed Last
Strategic Line.

Russia; has at length completed the
great steel and concrete bridge across
the Oxus at Karki, on which it has
been busy over since the autumn of
1905. This bridge is the last and
principal link in the new startegic rail.
way which is being built between the
great city of Samarkand, in Russian
Turkestan, and the little village OF
Bosaga, on the Afghan frontier, and as
soon as the rails are laid, which will
T be in few months time, the car
will be able, should he so wish, to
mass easily million of men upon the
borders of this debatable territory. An
other of these strategic railways has
also been recently completed from the
Caspian to Penjdeh, by way Of Mery.
This means that Herat, the tradition
al key of India" is now within easy
striking distance of St. Petersburg.
These great trunk lines have been con-
structed secretly. They have never
been opend for traffic, except local on
certain sections. They are, in fact,
railways built for war. The sterile re-
gions through which they run can,
for the most part, never support any
permanent population. They stop short
on the frontier of Afghanistan, amid a
tumble of mountains and morasses and
uninhabited salt deserts
