GREAT EARTHQUAKE
MAY END WORLD.
Many Scientists see Earth's
Destruction Forstold in the Ruin
of Messina.


Destruction ForstoId in the Ruin
of Messina.
The terrible catastrophe in italy
which caused the inhabitants of the
Inflated city of Messina to believe
that the end Of the world had come
is only foretaste on a small scale of
what many eminent scientists believe
will be the end of the world, says
CasselPs Saturday Journal That
eternal problem of how the world will
end is the opinion of many matter
for scientific investigation, and 1t is
curious that the majority believe that
.he earth will open up and fly to
pieces in the most gigantic earth
quake ever known-an earthquake
that will wipe all life from the globe
before the actual destruction of the
earth is complete.
The late Grant Allen firmly be-
lieved that the world would end by
the crust of the earth eventually Civ
ing way beneah the colossal weight
above it; AMI Ahhe Dupin, one of the
greatest scientists of France, be-
lieves that doomsday will begin with
a war that will envelop the greatest
nations in Europe, this being fol-
lowed by plague the like of which
has never been known, eliminating
with an earthquake that will practi-
cally shake the world to pieces.

a different opinion. The world will
end, he declares, by its becoming en-
tirely frozen over. 1t is we'll known
fact that every year more ice accum-
ulates around the Poles; in short.
many millions of tons of ice in excess
of that of the year previous settle
about the earth's extremities yearly,
and in Mr. Wells opinion this will
gradually extend until the whole
world is frozen over and every living
thing is thus destroyed.
Several scientists are of opinion
that we shall perish by fire, and this
old world of ours with us. Nikola
Tesla, the great American, is positive
that, the atmosphere of the world
being so fully charged with electric
lty, the result will be a gigantic ex-
plosion by spontaneous combustion,
when the world will be entirely en-
circled with fame which in the space
of few seconds will destroy all life
Two of the worlds greatest scien.
lists firmly aver that the end of the
world will be brought about by as
Economical conditions. Take Profess
sor Marienberg, the noted Austrian
student. In his opinion the earth will
fly from it's orbit and come in contact
with one of the other planets that
may chance to be in a direct line The
earth, being comparatively small
will, of course, get the worse of it and
split into fragments at the collision
But, of course, directly the world
swerved from its orbit all living
things would die, and such an earth
quake take place as would completely
put the Italian catastrophe in tho
shade.

WISE WORDS.

Following fad is short cut to
folly.
Half mind to is equal to a whole
mind not to.
The glory of love is that it never
knows its own cost.
Shifting the blame for sin does not
uproot it's sowing.
No man can feel his soul who is
starving his servants.
Only clothes rack will let dignity
stand in the way of duty.
Occupations arm the heart.
The larger the soul, the simpler
the life.
Gold is tried by fire and man often
by gold.
Love is eternal because it never
worries about dying.
The only pleasures enjoyed are
those that are earned.
You can not conquer any weakness
by coddling It,
Measure the appreciation you be-
stow by that which you desire.
They are most harmed by flattery
who are most hungry for it.
Taking bypath to avoid duty we
are sure to meet our deserts.
The mark of free man is that he
binds himself to some high duty.
The power to comfort others does
not come from consoling yourself.
No man comes to himself until he
knows that he belongs to his world
1t takes a tremendous lot of re-
ligion to convert mans pocket.
The straight truth would often
save lot of crooked travelling.
So many mistake anxiety to wear
a crown for endeavor to win one.
Some people get so close to the
fact that they cannot see the truth.

overzeal than to rot from overcau.

For the Collar.

If you wish to make your woman
friend a rather new little gift, get a
piece of fine handkerchief linen, fold
1t over, hemstitch one side, make 1t
just as deep as a little frill to go In
side of shallow collar. Such frills
are very fashionable and somewhat
resemble the little tucker frills our
grandmothers Used to wear. Such
frills instead of being hemstitched
may be embroidered or feather
stitched either In white or colors.
Fluffy neckwear is prediction for the
future and then let the short or full
necked woman beware.
