Another Letter.
Receipt of another letter from a grief
stricken relative of one of the missing
girls stirred officers of the Young Wom-

day. This letter came from Mrs Emma
Peterson, Of Grenshaw, Pa, another
relative Of Anna Bachman, an eighteen
year-old Danish girl whose failure to
reach Chicago started the investigation.
Mrs Peterson begged Siiverson to urge
Federal officials not to let the investi-

Chicago and that none of them had

course some time ago. His advanced
age and the increasing duties of the
parish are named as the reasons.
The retiring clergyman is nearly
seventy years old and for nearly twen-

Scientists Support the
Theory World Is Not
Immortal.

Science gives unquestionable
support TO this view. and every
new discovery seems to make more
certain the conclusion that our
world cannot last forever.
But there are two opposite the
cries as to the manner in which
the earth, as the abode of life. will
come to an end. One assumes that
its destruction win be by heat and
the other that 1t will be by cold.
The discovery of the mysterious
substance radium, which possesses
the property of continually giving
off heat, has impaired renewed
impetus to the first OF these theo-
r1es, which, 1t may be remarked,
as matter of curiosity, Is In &C,
cord with the Bible prophecies.
The heavens shall roll up as
scroll, and the earth shall dissolve
with fervent heat"
A most ominous account of the
part that radium may play in the
ultimate destruction OF the earth
