OF late the movement has assumed the
form of an active and aggressive propa-

to clerks in the several executive depart
ments urging every one to join in the de-
mand for the enactment OF a law that
shall legalize the assessment Of all civil
service employees in order to establish
a cumulative fund. from which a small

Leaning over steaming washtub is a
fine way to ruin the complexion. Heat
and steam redden and inAame the face
Then touch of cold air will roughen and
chap the skin.
That is one of the many reasons why
thinking women prefer to wash clothes
with Fels- Naptha soap in lukewarm water.
1t saves the hands and face from harm.
1t saves the danger of taking cold in
Winter, because you don't need to have
your kitchen or laundry full of steam like
Turkish bath.
1t saves fuel; you don't need an over
hot fire.
1t saves the clothes, because there is no
boiling to weaken them and no hard-rub-
bling to wear them into holes before their
time.
Isn't all that worth while?
Yes, you'll say, if it will make the
clothes clean.
Just try it. They'll be cleaner, sweet
er, whittier than you could get them any
other way. And Fels-Naptha is Just as
effective with hannels, woolens, colorcd
clothes.
Be sure to get the genuine Fels-Naptha
and follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

The heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with

shall be burned up"
But the suggestion of the astronomer was pure
speculation. There are no apparent signs OF any
such approaching catastrophe as DR.. Langley sug-
gests as possible. At any rate, we may settle
forces are concerned the present order of things
will not be disturbed for three or four million
years.
But an equally gloomy prospect is before the
world in the distant future from another cause
which is in slow operation. The length OF the
earth's day is slowly increasing through the re-
tarding influence of the tides produced by the
moon. To be sure, this effect is so slight that IL
has not been directly perceptible since accurate
methods of measuring the time of the earths
revolution on it's axis have been observed. But
that it must be taking place is as sure as that
friction will stop a railroad train when the steam
is turned off.
The tides raised by the moons attraction are
distributed by the continents so as to present
many anomalies, but when considered in them
selves they act the same as a wave three feet high
constantly running in an opposite direction to
the revolution of the earth, and so by friction re-
tarding its motion. Astronomers are agreed that
similar tides produced on the moon have reduced
her revolution on her axis to a period Of 2S days.
Eventually the revolution of the earth will be
reduced so that our day will be several times long
err than now. When that time comes the nights
will be so cold that nothing can stand it, and II
they could the days will be so hot that what was
left by the cold would be destroyed by the heat.
But that time, also, Is so far in the future that the
present generation may put it out of their minds.
This catastrophe will not arrive for many million
years yet. Indeed. before that time arrives the

THE HAY CROP.
Bone Suggestions for the Stacking
in the Field.

Now that we have an unusually
heavy crop of hay to secure, some
farmers will be obliged to stack some
Of 1t. A foundation can be made OF
rails or poles laid close enough to
hold the hay up from the ground and
allow the circulation of air under
meath to prevent the hay at the bot
tom gathering moisture from the
ground and spelling.
Begin the stack at the bottom con-
siderably smaller than you intend to
have the body of the stack. Lay
the hay in the middle first and pack
It very firmly and work outward until
you get the size of the bottom. Garry
1t up a little ways and then begin to
lay out a little at each course. Keep
The middle fullest and pressed down,
but do not walk close to the side
while laying the outer course. I
usually keep away from the edge
three or four feet.
When you have enlarged the stack
as much as you intend to, says the
Orange Judd Farmer, carry it up wen
ly on the outside until you have fully
two-thirds OF the hay in that you in
tend to put in that stack, and then
prepare to draw it in to top out. Keep
the middle fullest and we'll packed and
draw gradually until you have COM
pleted the top. Put a cap of marsh
hay on, and put on hangers, as good
hay is too valuable to be wasted by
exposing it to the storms.
Keep in mind from the beginning,
that if you keep the middle of the
stack the fullest and well packed, and
the outer course ~lOoser, the hay will
droop on the outside and shed the
rains perfectly from top to bottom of
stack. A nan who has a mechan-
ical turn of mind can make a stack
that looks we'll and in which the hay
will keep as we'll as in the barn. Hay
for stacking needs to be perfectly
cured before it is hauled.

hot be impossible that the desert of
Sahara and the sandy wastes of Central Asia shall
in the future usurp the place now assumed by
the localities in proximity to the great coal fields
of the world, while the latter become overgrown
with briars and brambles like the mounds Of many
an ancient center Of civilization.
Still another possible source from which we
may draw infinite quantities of heat and power
is to be found in the heated center of the earth.
AS we descend below the surface of the earth,
the temperature rises on an average OF one degree
in so feet. At a depth of two miles, therefore,
the temperature of boiling water would be reached,
and at a depth of five miles a temperature OF
more than 400 degrees. 1t would, therefore, not
seem by any means impossible to bore into the
earth deep enough to make a portion of its heat
available for all ordinary purposes.
The world, however, is concerned with impend'
ing catastrophes nearer at hand. The prosperity
of the present time is largely due to the rapid
ity with which we are using up the reserved stores
of nature upon or near the surface of the earth.
Thus geology, while it opens up to mankind the
stores of good that are buried for safekeeping In
the depths of the earth, points to their limited guam
tity, and calls upon men to use them economically
and leave as much as possible for future genera
tions. Wastefulness of these limited stores is a
sin. At the same time it gives the philosophical
student of history a SOLDERING view of the destiny
of man. Nothing is more certain than that man
has not been always on the earth, and that he is
not always to stay here. The world is like a
transcontinental railroad train and the human
race like a passenger who gets on at one end and
has to get off at the other. Out Of mystery man
came and into mystery he goes. The visible world
is a passing show. All that is Interchangeable lies
in the world of the unseen.
