GIVEN five DAYS MORE
Governor Must Call Legislature or
Troops Leave Goldfield.
PRESIDENT ANSWERS APPEAL
Nevada's Executive Expresses Doubt
That Lawmakers Will Not Sane
ton Request for Troops.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-President
Roosevelt has indicated by telegram to
Governor Sparks of Nevada that the
federal troops now at Goldfeld will be
ordered to remain there for further
period of three weeks provided the
governor within five days issues call
for a special session of the state leg
islature. The telegram of the presi
governor in which he sets forth the
need of armed intervention and ex'
presses the doubt that to call the leg
islature would result in the necessary
request from that body for federal
aid. The presidents telegram is as
follows:
"Your telegram of Dec. rs Is re-
ceived. 1t, in effect, declares that
you have failed to call the legislature
together because, in your judgment,
the legislature would not call upon
the government Of the United States
for the use of troops, although, in
your opinion. 1t ought to do SO. The
Constitution of the United States inn
poses not upon you but upon the leg.
islature, if it can be convened, the
duty of calling upon the government
of the United States to protect the
state of Nevada against domestic vio-
lence. You now request me to use the
armed forces of the United States in
Violation of the Constitution,
because, in your judgment, the legis-
lature. would fail to perform its duty
under the Constitution. The state
government certainly does not appear
to have made any serious effort to do
its duty by the effective enforcement
Cf its police functions. / repeat again
what | have already said to you sew
eral times, that under the circum-
stances now existing in the state of
Nevada, as made known TO me, an
application from the legislature of the
state is an essential condition to the
indefinite continuance of the troops at
and If they do | will take whatever
| action the needs or the SITUATION re-
| Quire SO far as my constitutional pow
ers permit But the first need Is that
the state authorities should do their
duty and the first step toward this is
the assembling of the legislature. 1t
Is apparent from your telegram that
the legislature of Nevada can readily
be convened. You have fixed the
period of three weeks as the time
necessary to convene and organize a
special session. If within five days
from the receipt of this telegram you
shall have issued the necessary notice
to convene the legislature Of Nevada
shall continue the station OF the
troops at Goldfield during such period
of three weeks. IL within the term OF
five days such notice has not been
issued the troops will be Immediately
returned TO their former stations"

he attempted to shoot himself through
the heart with 3S.caliber revolver,
but, missing his aim, fired second
shot in his head, the bullet penetrat-
ing his brain causing instant death.
The particular charge upon which he
was arrested was the sending on or
about Feb, Z, last, from the postoffice
at Lidderdale, Iowa, of threatening
letter to Henry Quodle, Of Omaha. In
the letter he charged Quodle with hav-

a sum Of money in satisfaction, threat

Carson, New, Dec. 31.-Governor
Sparks has called an extra session of

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-
gess as possible. At any rate, we may settle
down to the conclusion that so far as astronomical
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
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 it
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 railroad train when the steam
is turned off,
The tides raised by the moons attraction are
distributed by the continents SO to present
many anomalies, but when considered in them
selves they act the same as wave three feet high
constantly running in an opposite direction to
the revolution of the EARTH and by friction re-
tarding its motion. Astronomers are agreed that
similar tides produced on the moon have reduced
her revolution on her axis to period of % days.
Eventually the revolution of the earth will be
reduced so that our day will be several times long
er 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

nprpetual sunshine prevails 1t, 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

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 GO feet At 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 portion Of its heat
available for all ordinary purposes
The world, however, is concerned with impend.

Of the present time Is largely due to the rapid.

has not been always on the earth, and that he Is

space II now occupies 1t is hardly nossihlo for II
after that to continue to furnish as much heat as
1t does now, but it must then cool off with great
rapidity
This reasoning is based on the suppostfon that
the sun IS not yet solid body, but is so hot that
its mass is still in gaseous state But the force
of gravity upon the is so great that the gas Is
compressed into q much smaller proportionate com.
pass than it is on the earth. The force of gravity
on Ne surface Of the sun is q times that on the
earth, so that man weighing $50 pounds on the
earth would weigh nearly two tons on the sun So
great is this pressure OF gravity on the gases of
the sun that are they reduced to one-Quarter the
density CT the sClid nucleus of the earth But so
long as the nucleus of the sun continues to be
gaseous it will continue to grow hotter as it dimn.
iShes in size. So soon, however, as it loses suf-
fcient heat to allow the material to take on the
solid form, a crust will be formed and the radat-
lg heat Will rapidly diminish. Probably, also,
the heat radiated will diminish long before that
time, even though the sun is growing hotter, be-
cause of the diminishing size Of the globe.
Tie only way that the astronomers can see to
avoid this slow paralysis of the SUM- and so of the
whole solar system is that lately proposed by Prof.
Langley in a sensational article depicting what
f would happen if dark world moving al an incred
| ble speed in space should come so near our sun
that the two would collide. In this case the orig-
nal heat of the sun might be restored, but the ca
tastrophe would practically produce such &A ex
pansion Of its volume and such an increase of its
radiating power that everything on the earth would
be burned up, producing about such phenomena as
are described by the Apostle Peter. Indeed the re-
| semblance between the words of the apostle and
the theory of the Washington astronomer was as
striking as 1t was unexpected much so that some
readers may not know from which source the fol-
| lowing quotation is taken:
