Much Relieved.

An eminent English man OF science re-
Gently delivered a lecture during which
an amusing incident occurred. In the
course of his remarks he said something
to this effect:
1T is a well-established fact that the
sun Is gradually losing its heat, and tina.
In the course Of 100000 years it's heat
ing power will be so diminished that all
beneficient effects will be lost and no life
can exist on earth"
As soon as this sentence was uttered. n
sturdy Briton I'm the rear of the hall rose
and signified his desire to ask n question.
Pardon me-" he said, but how long did
you say IL would he before this terrible
calamity would occur?'
'NVhy, about 100000 years" repeated
the scientist with a smile.
The questioner fell back into his seat
With a deep sigh of relief. Thank heav-
ens!' he muttered. II thought / under
stood him to say 1000 900 youths Com
panion.
