PASSING OF EARTH.
Speculation as to Possible End
of the World.
Scientists See Danger in the Aecumu-
lation of Ammonia In the Atmos-
phere-What It Might Mean
to Humanity.

There are various ways in which, as
it seems, our earth can come to an
end as planet. We will mention one
or two OF them. The continuous decay
of vegetation generates ammonia. AS
many scientists have said, there is
more ammonia in the atmosphere now
than there was ten thousand years
ago, and considerable more than there
was a million years ago. Fresh sup
plies are added year after year, SO
that in a future day there will be an
exceedingly great quantity of 1t.
Now, ammonia has conclusive
property. II the atmosphere should
get laden with it, a universal confia-
grafton would be inevitable. The out
break of a volcano, or a flash of light
ming, would be sufficient to cause the
circumambient air to ignite-all space
would become a mass of raging flame
which would boil the rivers and seas,
converting them into hot vapors.
which would devour all living crea-
lures, all forms of vegetable life, would
bake the earth and perhaps burn it to
cinders.
The earth could be converted into
smoke within a second; 1t could be
hurled out of its course and made to
come into dreadful collision with an
other planet; or, thrown dangerously
near the sun, 1t would be drawn by the
wonderful solar attraction into the
fiery bosom of that bright monarch of
the universe.
The horror of such catastrophe APP
pears unspeakably great-something
from which the startled imagination
recoils and staggers. And yet, after
due reflection, we must admit that
the prospect is sublime rather than
horrible. Anticipation of an intoler-
able pain is worse than the pain itself.
A human being is capable of pain up to
a certain degree only, as also of pleas
ure up to correspondingly high de-
gree. and no more. Nay, one person
is capable OF more suffering and more
enjoyment than another; and 1t is alto
gether fallacious notion that there is
as much agony when fly Is crushed
as when giant dies
How often, after long and dismal
anticipation Of tragic event, we have
found at the last that the anticipation
of a tragic event outran the reality!
This is caused not only by the quick.
ness and resourcefulness of mind, but
also by the circumstance that we can
not hear more than a certain measure
of pain and aflllction.
Then, too, it must be remembered
that as every extreme causes its oppo-
site, as white heat gives a sensa-
ton Of cold, as frost can burn like fire
as laughter can eud in tears and tears
in laughter, as wisdom sometimes sub
sides into folly and the jester will ut
ter the sayings of sage, so excess of
pain may end In a sort of thrilling
pleasure, and this may account for the
sudden ecstasies of martyrs under tor
ture
The passing of earth, then, would
not cause so much human pain as is
generally believed. 1t would probably
be nothing more than the sudden
awakening into new world from an
outgrown condition of being.-EX-
