THE END OF THE WORLD.
A Theory That II Will Come by Fire
Caused by Friction.


AS to the length of time the earth is
likely to last, the calculations are that
it will not cease to be active for good
many millions OF years, such activity
not, however, necessarily supposing
that life as we know it now will al
ways be possible, the eventuality Of a
universal ice age being always a con-
tingency that may occur again In the
history Of the globe.
1t is interesting to note that in this
connection a Swedish mystic called
Stromberg has declared that the world
would never know another ice age, but
to the end. Its existence, he declared
would endure as long as fire burned in
the earth's bowels-that is, until the
whole mass shall have become solidi-
fed. The internal fires, he said, pro
vided the link which maintained the
earth in the suns sphere Of attraction.
When this attraction shall fail, the
earth. according to the Swede, will
cease to revolve and will fan away.
only to disappear by fire caused by
friction. thus verifying the Biblical
prophecy. AS. however, the process of
cooling down entirely will take some
billions of years, the nervous person
will note that there is really no imme-
date cause for alarm. New York

HOLES L.! GLASS.
They Are Too Tiny - Sec. but Air Can
Work THROUGH Them


Ordinary tumblorS viii hold water
because the globules OF water are too
big to squeeze through the glass. But
glass is as full Of holes as sponge.
and air blows right through it because
the spccks of air are smaller than the
holes.
Fut bell into big globe of glass,
seal up the vessel, pump out all the
air, then ring the bell inside, and you
hear nothing There is not air enough
in The globe to carry a sound. But lay
the globe aside for a month or so. and,
no matter how carefully you have
sealed up the neck, you will find that
you then can hear the bell when you
ring it, Air has got into that globe.
Enough Anyway to carry sound has
leaked in through The substance of the
glass.
The ordinary incandescent lamp is a
glass globe with the air pumped out,
and after a few months sufficient air
leaks through to dim the light which
comes from the thread of electrified
charcoal inside.
We can make plenty of vessels to
hold water, but nothing has been made
which will hold air without any leak
age. The air sneaks in through holes
which are too small for the human
mind to imagine.
In fact everything leaks.-London

P.psin, SALLY. and Gastric Juice.

Pepsin, the principal agent In the di-
gestion of food, is a powerful solvent
stored up in the walls of the stomach
and only poured forth when its assist
ance is needed. When pure, this fluid
Is perfectly neutral, neither acid nor
alkaline, and appears to be unable to
exert any action without the presence
Of an acid Such acid is supplied in
tie gastric juice, secreted by the gas
trio follicles covering the coating of
the stomach. The saliva is merely for
the pur., ose Of moistening the food,
thus preparing it for the action OF the
pepsin and scstric fluids.-New York

ORIGIN OF MOVING PICTURES.
Principle of 1t was known Before
Chr1At.

Although it is true that the NOV
ing picture machines arr or declded-
ly modern invention, the H. ca. or dis
covery, upon which motion Lhotogra-
ply is based is older than Christian
ity, says the Bohemian Magazine.
In the year 1879, B. c. the Egyptien
scientist, Ptolemus. ascertained thai
the human eye had the property of
retaining light, or object, for some
time after it had vanished from it's
radius. To prove this by practical
demonstration, he traced color line
on section of piece of glass or
glazed surface, after which he was
able to show that by revolving the
glass with great rapidity, he could
make it appear that the comparative
ly short color line extended complete
ly around it.
While the Importance OF this dis
covery Is now recognized, it was the
middle of the. eighteenth century be-
fore further investigations were
made along these lines, and practical
ly the end of the nineteenth century
was reached before the experiments
brought any very tangible results. 1t
is true that during this period sever
al toys, like the "Wonderdrum,"
were devised to provide parlor tests
of the duration of objective impress
sion upon the eye, but it was not un-
! til 1877 that the celebrated photOg-
rapher, Muybridge. succeeded in ac-
tually taking moving picture. This
was a series Of views in which the
motions of running horse were con-
secutively shown.
AS there was no camera that could
be used for this purpose. Muybridge
placed twenty-four cameras side by
side at the edge Of racing track,
parallel with wall facing the sun.
Each camera was provided with a
rapid snapshot shutter, operated by
electricity, these being kept open by
means of a thin silk thread which
crossed the track and was fastened to
the opposite wall. Thus, when the
horse came down the stretch" he
broke the threads successfully, and
as he snapped the shutters in rapid
succession the effect was that of a
continuous picture,
Revolutionary as this experiment
was from scientific point of view,
the practicable results were anything
but satisfactory AS the highly sem
sitized plate had not then been in
vented, the photographs lacked that
sharp detail that is so necessary to
successful enlargement, or reproduc-
ton, but, when In 1888, the dry
plate appeared, much of this Difficult
ty was obviated and motion photog-
raphy ceased to be the dream OF

For four miles and half, along
streets lined and canopied with colors
and in review of never ending
crowd, the fighting men of the fleets
made their way to the martial tunes
of their shipmate bands and to cheers
that began with the first command to
march and ended only when the sailor
men had again embarked in the small
boats that returned them to the bat
tleships and armored cruisers in the
roadstead.
Twenty-Five hundred soldiers of the
regular army, in full dress array, gra-
ciously acted as an escort to the Wis
iting men of the sea and were literally
applauded. Rear Admiral Evans, COM
