DEATH OF THE WORLD.
When Water Disappears and Air Gets
Too Thin to Breathe Then
viii Come Dissolution.

The age Of the earth is placed by
some at 5OOOOO,O0O years, by others
100000 years, and still others Of
later time place it at 10000 900 years.
None place it lower than 1O,0O0,0OO,
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 its 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 viii
be formed In the interior, which will
take in the water. 1t is estimated
that this process is now in progress,

AN AFRICAN TITBIT.
Hippopotamus Meat Has a Strong
Odor and Flavor of Musk-ts
Liked by the Natives.

To the African traveller the hippo
potamus is a species Of game particu-
Iarly desirable for its ivory and its
hide are both valuable, while the not
inconsiderable danger involved in its
pursuit provides the delicious emotion
without which every kind of hunting
is tame and insipid. Moreover, the OBJ
legation under which the leader OF the
expedition lies to feed his servants and
carriers adequately makes one Of these
enormous beasts, twelve feet long or
so and disproportionately wide, a per.
feet godsend. Not only does the hippo
potamus furnish a formidable amount
Of meat, but that meat has the ines
timabIe merit Of keeping fresh much
longer than any other, principally ow-
ing to the fact that flies seem to have
an insurmOuntable horror Of it. /
must admit that for a long time
thoroughly sympathized with the flies.
Alive, the hippOpOtamus has a peculiar
odor, somewhat resembling musk,
which discloses the presence OF the
animal from afar when he happens TO
be to windward Of one. IN the flesh
of the dead animal this odor-or the
taste OF 1t, rather-persists and is much
appreciated by the natives, though for
eigners take a long time to get accus-
toned to it; some are never able to
support it.-Wide World Magazine.

LEE AT APPOMATTOX.
One of the Most Notable Scenes In the
History of the War-Ths
Parting of Comrades.

Men who saw the defeated general
when be came forth from the chamber
where he had signed the articles Of
capitulation say that he paused a mo-
ment as his eyes rested once more on
the Virginia hills, smote his hands to-
gether as though In some excess Of
inward agony, then mounted his gray
horse, Traveller, and rode calmly away.
If that was the very Gethsemane
Of his trials, yet he must have had
then one moment Of supreme, If chas-
tened, Joy. As he rode quietly down
the lane leading from the scene Of
capitulation he passed into view OF his
men-of such as remained Of them.
The news of the surrender had got
abroad, and they were waiting, grief
stricken and detected, upon the hill
sides when they caught sight Of their
old commander on the gray horse.
Then occurred one Of the most notable
scenes in the history Of the war. In
an instant they were about him, bare
headed, with tear wet faces, throngtng
him, kissing his hand, his boots, his
saddle; weeping, cheering him amid
their tears, shouting his name to the
very skies. He said: Men, we have
fought through the war together.
have done my best for you. My heart
is too full to say more."-From "Rob-
ert E. Lee. the Southerner."

FIVE SENSES NOT ENOUGH.
Our Limited Scale Of Consciousness
Shuts Out Many Vibrations.

Our Limited Scale Of Consciousness
Shuts Out Many Vibrations.
Between the vibrations that we call
electricity and the vibrations that we
call heat we imagine there must be
other vibrations filling up the gap, but
we do not know, simply because we
Ihave no senses that can comprehend
them. The spectrum is just such a
little scale. Below the darkest red at
the lower end we cannot see; at the
other end as the vibrations get faster
and faster through the orange, the blue
and the violet is another unknown
gap-that is, we cannot see il. But
surely the vibrations are there. Some
OF them, for instance, that we have
never seen and never can see mark
their presence on a Photographic plate.
And this same spectrum may be used
as an analogy to describe spiritualisttc
phenomena. Just as there are limits
at either end Of the scale Of vibrations
beyond which our own senses can tell
US nothing so may there be psychic
forces at work beyond the limits Of our
consciousness These are seemingly
supernatural to US when we witness
their effect. but they really are no
more supernatural than the X ray that
pierces the solid body or the invisible
ultra violet ray that marks the photo
graphic plate.-FrOm Are the Dead

When the Waiter Wins,

Two men were wrangling as to who
should settle with the waiter for the
luncheon. When the question had been
finally decided and the contestants had
gone the waiter said to one Of his re.
ular customers who was a witness Of
the scene: That's what we like, for ev-
cry time it happens we come in for an
extra tip. The man who couldn't get
the check has only one way to get
even, and that is by giving the waiter
something, and nine times out Of ten
he does it and makes the amount more
than he would have given if he had
paid the check. This one ordered ex-
ira cigars and left the change for me.
We like the give me the check quar-
reIs."-New York Tribune.

Siekroom Mirrors.

"Only a hand mirror should find
place in a sickroom," said a doctor,
"and it should be one fattering TO the

Ii the face Is too broad will lengthen

be allowed to look in the mirror at

Old London Ceeksheps.

Medieval London, besides being
''city of taverns," was famous for its
cookshops, such as the place on the
river bank described by Fitzstephen in
the thirteenth century: There every
day We may call for any dish of meat,
roast, fried or sodden, fish both small
and great, venison and fowl. If friends
come upon a sudden wearied with
travel to citizens house and they be
loath to wait for curious preparations
and dressings of fresh meat let the
servant run to the water side, where
all things that can be desired are at
hand" This particular place Of public
cookery apparently did an indoor as
well as an outdoor trade, for Fitz-
stephen further described it as being
used both day and night by multi
tudes Of soldiers or other strangers
who refresh themselves to their con-
tent on roast goose, the fowl Of Afri-
ca and the rare gadwit Of Ionia." But

viands ?-LondOn Chronicle.

the oldest paper, but it has been issued
a mere thousand years. The Using Pao,
or Pekin News, was first published 800
years before the Norman conquest and
has been issued without intermisgion
for nearly 1,4OO years. The Using PaO
has the appearance of a yellow backed
magazine Of twenty-four octave pages,
each page containing seven columns,
consisting Of seven characters"
Two editions are published-an edi-
ton de luxe for the court and the up
per classes at a cost Of "a cents q
month. and an edition inferior in paper
and printing, costing IS cents a month.
1t has a circulation of about 10000 and
is really the principal paper Of China,
chronicling the movements Of the en-

MANS RESPECT FOR ANIMALS
We Must Recognize That We Arc
OVerseers of Other Forms Of
Life on Earth.

II we have any belief at ali in diff
ference of moral faculty between our
selves and the animals we must recog-
nize that we are, so far as our powers
over nature will permit, overseers Of
other forms of life upon the earth, not
merely for our own advantage but for
the good Of the universe. We cannot
deny that the struggle for life exists
and that we must take part in 1t and
do our best to destroy those forms
of life which are hostile to ourselves.
We cannot go so far in respect for
life as to found a society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to bacilli. But at
the same time our respect for life is
a sign OF our triumph, however imper-
feet. over the struggle for life; and
the greater this respect becomes tba
more we are men conscious OF the
promise and Significance Of all life
and the less ws are beasts involved In
the blind waste OF nature.
Very slowly and imperfectly this
sense Of the promise and Significance
Of all life grows In Us. It is not only
an intellectual, but rather a religious
and emotional idea. 1t appears first
In men like st. Francis with a pro-
phsttc sense OF a nobler state Of be-
ing. From them It is communicated
by the beauty OF their example rather
than by argument, to other men; and
perhaps when 1t has become a matter
OF course In all civilized human be-
ing5 we shall find that It is Of prac-
tioai value and it viii attain 70 .

"CREASING" A WILD HORSE.
For One Captured by That Method
Fifty Were Killed.

Fifty Were Killed.
VIII G. Barnes, writing In McClure's
of the various methods Of capturing
wild horses IN the old days on the
plains, says:
"'Creasing' was one Of their devices.
This consisted in shooting a bullet so
that It struck the animal on the top
of the neck Just in front Of the with
ers and about an inch or so deep close
to the spinal column. The shock tenn
porariIy stunned the horse, and the
hunter ran up and tied the animals
feet together before he recovered. A
rope halter was slipped on his head.
A gentle horse or sometimes a work
OK was led up alongside the PROSTATE
beast, and he was securely necked up
to the gentle animal and thus could be
handled easily. Old muStangers say,
however, that for one horse caught
this way fifty were killed and that as
a matter of fact the method was not
used very much except in an emer-
gency, when a hunter, after days or
attempts to capture, finally took the
risk Of successfully creastng an IN
usually fine animal rather than see
him escape altogether.
