LIFE OF THE WORLD.
Traditions That u Will Last Only
5000 Years.

There Ia Q general and widespread
notion, which the curious investigator
will find scattered throughout both
medieval and modern literature, that
the world will last 5000 years from the
date of it's creation. An inscription in
one of Martin Luther's books reads as
follows: Elijah, the prophet, said that
the world had existed 1000 years be-
fore the law was given lfrom Adam to
Moses,. would exist 1000 years under
the Mosaic law from Moses to Christi
and 1900 years under the Christian
dispensation, and then it would be
burned"
In the Etrurian account of the crea-
ton (by Suidas, there is similar ira
dition, THE Creator spent 5000 years
in creation, and GOO more are allotted
to the earth"
In the black letter edition of Foxes
Acts and Monuments 1922 there is
whole sermon given with the 6.OO0
year limit of the earth's duration as
text.
Some writer's contend that the six
days" referred to in Holy Writ really
mean 6,OOO years and that the seventh
day" is a type Of the coming millen-
mum, or sabbath Of a thousand
years."
The psalmist says, For a thousand
years are in thy sight as yesterday"
Psalm &c, ~. See also ii Peter iii, 3.
which is even more specific.

Sharpness of Madmen.

In Sir William Buffers autobiogra-
ply there is an amusing story about
six insane soldiers who escaped while
the corporal who had brought them on
board the troOpship left at Dur
ban and who mingled with the $500
sane men on the decks. The problem
of the voyage was to find who were
the six madmen. BY the time. the boat
reached Cape Town twenty-six men
were officially nnder observation, and
not one of the six was among them.
In the end the crazed half dozen were
identified as those who had taken an
especially eager part In the lunatic
hunt.

MAGNETIC POLE MOVES
PENDULCMWISE

The magnetic pole does not, as has
generally believed, move in a circle
around the geographic pole, but os-
cillates exclusively on the Pacific
Ocean side. This has just been prov
ed by Emile Belot, who has present
ed to the French Accidents des Sci
ences curve representing the mo-
ton of the magnetic pole since the
year 1911.
The motion OF the magnetic pole is
almost spiral, but it's speed varies

Books and Apples.

"A young lady i'm library Job got
tired of fussing round in stuffy al
coves. So she chucked it all and went
to raising apples. She never made
money hand over fist. as she expected.
but she always declared she had won
out on the exchange II used to like
an occasional apple. with my books" "
she declared, but the present plan Of
having a book now and then with my
apples is a heap better" - Golfers
Weekly.

from 1880 to 1855 it averaged IL
kilometers a year. For the last 100
years it has averaged only s kilo-
meters a year. M. Belot likens it to
the oscillation of a pendulum, which
slows up as it approaches the ends OF
it's swing. The period of it's swing
is about 500 years.
