How viii the World End,

1t has always been an intensely In
tcresting 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-
III cociiDg of the sun. which will even
tual!y fail TO give out sufficient heat
to sustain life ON our planet. But an
othcr-and particularly unpleasant
fate that might befall us is explained
in Il work by Mr.. Ellard Gore. Real
danger. says he. sis 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 warning of our terrible
end. for on entering n radius of 15,0OO-
100000 miles from the sun the advanc-
ing body would begin to shine with re-
tlected light, and fifteen years would
elapse between the time of the destroy
ers being sighted and its collision
with the sun.

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 1t 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 q
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 Oh the glass in way
which seems to the locker on absolute
ly marvelous.-New York Times.

Preferred tho Baby. Voice,

A New York scientist, the father of
large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.

child, SO the man Of science went to
the rescue.

said There's no use humming to her
in that silly way. What she wants is
real music. The fact that used to
sing in the glee club at Yale and sing
well. too may make difference"
Accordingly, the professor took tho
child and, striding up and down the
room, sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse Of his
song when ring was heard. The
door was opened. and there stood q girl
of fourteen, who said:

says, If It's all the same to you, would
you mind letting the baby cry instead
of singing to itY'-Success.

Bass Arc Real Cute.
