Universe Running Down.

II is absolutely certain that the
machinery of the solar system is rum
ming down. The earth, with its mass
of 5000 trillion tons, moving
through space thousand times
faster than the express train goes,
is being retarded by the friction Of
the atmosphere apd tides to the ex-
tent that it loses about an hour in
10000 years-a very slow process,
it would, seem, but one that will
inevitably bring the earth to stand
still ultimately. And what is true
of the earth is true of all the works
and suns. Sir Isaac Newton main
tanned that the motions Of all bodies
in space suffer retardation, and that
their velocity is steadily becoming
less and win finally cease. Solar
systems. like everything else. have
their time to be born and their time
to die.-Chicago Examiner.

SIMPLE RECIPE FOR FoNDANr.

SIMFIE RECIPE FUR FONDANT. 4.
Two cups granulated sugar, 2-3 cup
cold water, pinch OF cream Of tartar
Put sugar and water and cream Of
tartar in porcelain pan and set on
stove, where sugar will slowly melt.
Mixture may be stirred before it be-
gins to boil. After sugar has melted
dish must remain stationary. To test,
take up small amount on spoon and
drop into cold water. When a soft
ball forms and may be held in fingers
remove from stove and pour into plat
ter to cool. Test by putting finger
into mixture when cool, beat with
spoon and add flavor desired. Mould
and shape, using board to knead mix
ture. Fondant is better to remain q
few hours before making various bon
bons. This is the foundation for all
kinds Of cream horizons and chocolate
drops. Bear in mind the following
and good luck will follow. Do not
stir sugar after it begins to boil, do
not scrape any of the mixture from
sides of dish and do not mould or
beat until cold.-Mrs. E. D. Bliss in
