DEATH OF THE WORLD.
When WC&er Disappears and Air osts
Too Thin to Breathe.


The age Of the earth is placed by
some at 500,0O0,OO0 years, by others
100OOO,OOO years, and still others of
later time place it at 100000 years.
None place it lower than 100000,
knowing what processes have been
gone through.
Other planets go through the same
process. The reason that other planets
differ so much from the earth is that
they are In so much earlier or later
stages Of existence. The earth must
become old.
Newton surmised, although he could
give no reason for it, that the earth
would lose all it's water and become
perfectly dry. Since then it has been
found that Newton was correct.
AS the earth keeps cooling it viii be-
come porous, and great cavities will
be formed In the interior, which will
take in the water. 1t is estimated
that this process is now in progress,
so far that the water dimlnishes at the
rate of the thickness of a sheet Of
paper each year.
At this rate in 100000 years the
water win have sunk mile, and In
100000 the water will have disap-
peared from the face of the globe
The nitrogen and oxygen in the at
mosphere are also diminishing all the
time. 1t IS in an inappreciable degree,
but the time will come when the air
win be so thin that no creature we
know could breathe it and live. The
time viii come when the world cannot
support life That win be the period
of old age, and then will come DEATH

ART AND WEATHER.
A Storm That Suited the Painter, but
Not the Committee.

Not the Committee.
In a gallery there hangs a large
canyas in an imposing frame. The
painting shows a waterfall in one of
the states famous for startling nat
ural scenery. The picture has occupied
its present place for several years.

itor of the man I'm charge.
"No more than the others you see"
"Seems to me it should be in the
capitol of the state where this scenery
Is" said the visitor.
at was painted for the state" re-
piled the man in charge, "but when If
was submitted to the art committee
1t refused to accept it,"
"What was the objection"
"You see the sky is overcast. The
artist put in a gathering storm like an
impending calamity. The art commit
tee said it was a reflection on the rep
utation Of the state; that a storm such
as is represented was unknown in that
latitude"
Couldn't the artist put in another
sky, one that accorded with the states
reputation for sunshine?'
81 suppose he could, but he refused
He said that the rumpus kicked up by
the art committee warranted the storm
effect on the canvas, and he refused TO
bulge. He sent it here, and here it
remains. Boston Herald.
