FOR STATE GAME PRESERVE.
Game Commission VIII RECON-

Such Purpose.

The Texas game commissioner
department will recommend to the

ary. that so, 900 or 100000 acres
of arid land owned by the state Iii
West Texas be set aside for the pur-
nose of establishing a state game
and bird preserve. and for the prop
agation and raising Of wild game
and wild fowl. 1t is held that such
refuge. with plenty of fresh water
enclosed with a ten foot wolf-prooi
fence, under the charge of game
keeper to feed and care for the
wild could be maintained out or the
revenue collected from the sale OF
hunters license, etc, provided all
hunters we're taxed fifty cents per
annum.
The game commissioner points
out that there are now thousands OF
deer in captivity in public parks IN
Texas that the owners would De
glad TO turn over to state game
preserve on account of their being
rather expensive pets. Bob white,
hlue quail, English ring-neck and

birds of this kind have become al
most extinct, for restocking pur-
poses. The surplus of e wild deer
could be turned loose on the range

Is reversed, and while practically all
settlements In this state, from int

of the cities, have made remarkable
strides in population, the rural COM
munties have not only kept pace,
but have shot ahead in their large
increase, proving conclusively that
farm life in Texas has its attractions,
and that here the "back-to-the-soil
movement" is working out on
scale of significant magnitude.

Texas, according to the census sta
tistics, is 3,S96,542. This is an in
crease Of S47S32, or 27.S per cent,

from 1890 to 1900 was S13,1S7, or

makes no attempt to say when the
event will occur Those who know
about the eminent astronomer and
his work do not doubt his word. of
course; and those who do not know
may rest assured that Professor
Lowell is amply qualified to render
an opinion on this important subject
The probable nature of the end of
the world, as the conclusions of the
scientists show, will be a drop into
the sun; but Professor Lowell says
we shall have advance knowledge Of
this, and he knows. AS the scien-
lists have figured 1t out there is
somewhere in the remote confines of
space great mass of matter-once a
world, but now dead-hurtling toward
our sun. When 1t hits the bull's-eye,
as 1t is bound to do some day, our
little hunk of mud will cease to exist
1t is well for our peace Of mind
that no such dead world is at present
within dangerous proximity. Yet who
knows what day the morning papers
covered by aid of the suns light re-
flected upon II as 1t enters our little
circle-butting into our society, so to
speak. While 1t would then be GER
tain the end of the world was at
hand, still, there would be ample time
in which to prepare for the inevitable.
About q years would elapse from the
time it was discovered by some as
tronomer with his telescope until the
natal mass could be seen with the
naked eye, and not until three years
later would It appear as large as the
brightest stars in the heavens. Nearly
three years more and our seasons
would begin to change, the days be-
coming longer. The beginning of the
snd would come about five months
later. The stranger would not strike
our little planet, but would pass so
close in its dash to the sun that the
earth would turn and follow until, to-
gether, they would drop silently into
the sun, like a couple of dust specks
into roaring furnace fire.
Professor Lowell, who has so calm
ly announced the probability Of this
startling end to all earthly hopes and
fsars, was. born at Boston, Mass,
March 10, 1855. Graduating from
Harvard in 1876, he continued the
study of astronomy in many parts OF
the world until 1894, when he estab-
lished the Lowell Observatory at
Flagstaff, Ariz. Being a fellow in
nearly all the important scientific and
astronomical associations of Europe
and America, his opinions have long
been accepted quite generally as au-
thoritative. His odd theory concern.
ing the end of the world, therefore
has aroused no end of controversy
among men Of science.
