END OF THE WORLD.
One Scientific Theory Of How Our
Planet May Perish. 49,,


Planet May Perish. ~,
A scientific forecast of bow the end
Of the world might come has, been
given by Professor Ellafd Gore. bis
theory Is that final cataclysm may pos
sibly be the result Of a collision be-
tween the sun and some dark, dead,
derelict planet.
Although astronomers have no ac-
tual proof that such dead suns exist,
without life or light and careering
about In space, they believe it quite
possible. The result Of collision be-
tween the sun and dark planet
would be that the formers light and
heat would be enormously increased
and the earth instantly destroyed by
combustion. .
Professor Gore tells how we should
be warned Of our approaching doom.
when about 100000 miles from
the sun, the dark body would begin to
shine by reflected light. In about ten
years 1t would have become SO bright
as to be visible to the naked eye. In
fifteen years it would be brighter than
any object except the moon. Very soon
afterward would come the great catas-
trophe Of its collision, moving at 4O(
miles second, with the sun moving
at the same peed."-Dundee Observer
