FATE OF THE WORLD.
Four Ways In Which Our PLANET May
Come TO an End.

Come to an End.
The earth and all its inhabitants are
doomed inevitably to destruction. ac-
cording to Professor Percival Lowell,
who declared that one of fous possible
fates awaits this planet and every.
thing on it. A tramp star might strike
the earth, he said, and grind 1t and its
people to powder or ride full tilt into
the sun, when the earth's living crea-
lures would be scorched to death
Tidal friction. by its gradually retaM.
ing force. might paralyze the earth's
motion SO that one side of the globe
would be eternally baked by the sun
and the other side forever trapped.
This has already happened to Mercury
and Venus.
By the loss of all water and air
through depletion or absorption the
earth might become dry. desiccated

Is an example Of this. and so is the
moon. The most sure death of ALL.
however, as depicted by Professor
Lowell. is the decay and freezing of
the sun. which is certain to occur
some time. When the last flicker is
extinct that gigantic ball. bereft of all
radiance and warmth. and Its retinue

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-02-05
THE EPISCOPAL oRPHANAeE.

The Church Home Orphanage, now
being maintained in Charleston under
the guardianship Of the Episcopal dio-
cese Of South Carolina, Is to be trans
ferred to Yorkville, and the removal is
to be effected as soon as 1t Is possible
to make the necessary preparations
for the change.
This fact was definitely and finally
settled at a meeting Of the majority Of
the trustees held in Yorkville yester-
day. AS a matter Of fact, 1t had been
virtually settled some two months ago,
and the action of the trustees yester-
day was fully confirmatory Of the
boards original action.
The trustees present at the meeting
yesterday were Bishop w. A. Guerry,
Rev. A. s. Thomas, Rev. o. T. Porcher,
Rev. w. T. Whitsell, Messrs. P. T..
Hayne and Richard I. Manning. They
were here for the purpose of seeing
and learning for themselves the exact
situation, exactly what the people Of
Yorkville offer and what II will be nee
essary to do.
AS the result of the meeting 1t was
decided that the trustees at once COM
plete the purchase Of the Kings Noun
tain Military school property, and put
the same in proper repair without un-
necessary delay. and that the orphan
age be removed to Yorkville at the
earliest possible moment.
That the Church Home Orphanage
will be great acquisition to this COM
munity there is no reason to doubt.
1t has become the especial and par
ticular charge Of the Episcopalians Of
South Carolina, who have lately been
developing most commendable aggres-
sion in work of this kind, and they
promise to make their Church Home
Orphanage second to no other such
institution in the state.
There is a good deal of friendly in
terest to the undertaking In Yorkville,
and that Yorkville and community will
do their part by the orphanage goes
without saying.
