PHYSICIANS WIFE RUN DOWN
BY Touring Car of Millionaire To-
bacco Manufacturer.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 27-The wife of
DR.. H. n. Lyon, a prominent ply
sician, of 59O3 Cabanne avenue, was
run down and probably fatally injured
Sunday night by heavy touring car
belonging to Fred. c. PEPPER the mil.
honaire tobacco manufacturer, also of
this city.
Mrs. Lyon, who is prominent in So
ciety, was crossing the intersection OF
Hamilton and Maple avenues, when
the big car, occupied by PEPPER and his
chauffeur, came up, and before he
could avoid it struck the woman, hurl-
ing her to the ground with crushing
fierce. She was picked up in a dazed
condition and sent to St. Lukes hos
pital, where it was found that, in addi-
ton to several internal injuries, she
has suffered a fracture of the right leg
and numerous bruises.
Millionaire Pepper was arrested and
locked up in the Twelfth district police
station. He figured in the recent suit
of heirs contesting Christian Peper's
bequest to Christian Cornelius, Chris
tian Peper's foster son.

THE heavens shall pass away with a great
noise and the elements shall be dissolved with
fervent heat and the earth and the works therein
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 possible. At any rate, we may settle
down to the conclusion that far as astronomical
forces are concerned the present order of things
will not be disturbed for three 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
earths 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 1t
has not been directly perceptible since accurate
methods of measuring the time of the earths
revolution on its 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 wave three feet high
constantly running in opposite direction to
the revolution of the EARTH and so by friction re-
tarding it's motion. Astronomers are agreed that
similar tides produced on the moon have reduced
her revolution on her axis to period of 28 days.
Eventually the revolution of the earth will be
reduced so that our day will be several times long,
than now. When that time comes the nights
will be so cold that nothing can stand it, and if
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 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

TAILS up TOSSED COIN FELL
AND ONE OF THE PARTIES TO SUI
eide PACT ENDS LIFE.
Standing in Front Of a Mirror o'Brien
Sent Bullet Through His
Heart.

Los Angeles. Cal, July 27.-The toss
OF coin led John w. O'Bnen, Shake.
srearean student. mining expert and
globe trotter, to suicide in an apart.
ment house on Grand avenue. He was
well known in st. Louis and Chicago,
having visited both cities frequently.
Goaded TO the deed by financial re-
verses and possibly by a suicide pact.
which was limited at in a letter from
2 friend found among his possessions,
O'Brien placed himself in front of a
large mirror and sent bullet through
his heart. On the floor, by his side,
was found dime lying tails" up, and
on the table a note saying he would
flip the coin to determine whether he
would kill himself.
Among his possessions was found a
volume of Shakespeare's works, be-
sides numerous notebooks and news
paper clippings concerning the writings
of the English author. Many passages
were marked.
The letters which hinted Mt a suicide
pact were from G. w. Langford, all Off.
cial of the Philippine Fishing Co. in
Yamboango, Philippine Islands. In one
CT these, dater March %, 1905, Lang
ford advised OBrien against getting
married, saying that such "entangle.
ments would bring grief and sorrow to
dear ones when the time came for
them to fulfill their pledge to each
ether, unless fortune soon smiled upon
them" Many letters in the same
vein were found.

Derpetual sunshine prevails. It, therefore, will
not 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 an. average of one degree
in 60 feet. At depth of two miles, therefore,
the temperature of boiling water would be reached,
and at a depth of five miles temperature Of
more than 400 degrees. 1t would, therefore, not
seem by any means impossible to bore into the
earth deep enough to make 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 near the surface of the earth.
Thus geology, while it opens up to mankind the
stores of good that are buried for safekeeplng in
the depths of the EARTH points to their limited guam
tity, and calls upon men to use them economically
and leave 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 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
trarscontinental railroad train and the human
race like 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 passing show. All that is Interchangeable lies
in the world of the unseen.
