What We are Coming To.

But although our earth cannot in any
vital sense last longer than the sun, II
may last less long for intrinsic cause,
Life is dependent not only on the sun,
but on the presence Of air. When this
air departs, life will depart, too. Now
the earth's air is going, slowly but sure
ly. evaporating Into space. II it all goes
before the sun becomes extinct, the
sarth's surface life will lapse while the
sun still shines. Both processes-the
evaporation OF the air and the cooling OF
the sun-will require long eras Of time,
but the second process will be much the
slower Of the two. So We may expect
the last inhabitants of the earth to die OF
lack of breath rather than from want of
warmth.-Percival Lowell in The Youths
Companion.

mer camp on the lake. As they did not
return Q search was instituted, and II
was finally ascertaiued that all four men

der, and it is supposed that tho sheriff,
after visiting the camp, started TO re-
turn, and took boat from the shore to
cross mile OF the lake to save walk OF
three miles.
There is every indication that the two
men in the camp left it very hurriedly
