How the Lantern Was invented.

King Alfred the Great is credited
with originating the lantern. He
was so bothered by the candle
flames blowing in the wind that he
protected them by putting the can
dies in COW horns, which he ordered
to be scraped thin. Our GRANDPA
theirs made lanterns BY punching
holes and Sits in properly shaped
pieces of tin, which were then SOL
dered together. The light which
came through the little cuts was a.
ways very dim and Pickering. 1t
was this kind Of lantern which the
old town watchmen used to carry

The End Of the Eartli.

The ancient Persians believed IN
the renovation of tho earth. y
comet in the course of It's rcvo!u-
tons will strike the earth and set 1t
on fire. Rivers Of molten metals
will float down the mountains and
deluge the valleys. All men mast
pass through these streams. The
good Will lind them Ike baths OF
milk. The evil will find them like
torrents Of lava, but they will be
purified thereby and finally will JOIN
the good upon the new earth and
sing praises to the eternal source OF
all. This belief was held also
among the American Indians and
the Hihdoos. The Egyptians belIev-
ed the earth would be destroyed by
fire and water. The Chaldcans SAID
that when al! the planets met in
the sign of Capricorn the earth
would be overwhelmed with del
uce of water. and whenever they
all met in Cancer it would be con-
sumcd BY fire.
