to a question put by clergyman ct
the weekly meeting of Presbyterian
ministers today, Eric Doolittle, director
of the University of Pennsylvania AS
Economical observatory, said he be-
lieved that life on this earth would
come to an end in about 100000
years.
Professor Doolittle had been making
an address on Astronomy" In refer
ence to the end of the earth's life, he
said:
unless some supernatural power or
being interferes or the earth comes in
contact with another planet or heaven
ly body, the earth will exist for 10000
900 more years.
The earth is dependent upon the
sun for its heat and light although tn
earth now contains some heat itself
When the sun cools, the result will be
darkness and cold, which will bring
an end to all life, animal and vegata-
