Pastor Outlines Nine Ways by

Destruction.

Detroit-The world is travelling on

George T. Cullen of the West Grand

was sure thing, he declared, and
further he said there are at least eight
other ways in which the old world may
come to its end before the fatal ending
Of the death journey
First, he declared, the axis Of the
earth might decide TO shift about a
few degrees, with the result that the
oceans would sweep over the dry lands
and destroy all life before an ark
could be built. If that fails to occur
there might be failure of internal
6res and the crust of the earth would
absorb all the water and the air. The
death of our planet might, on the
other hand, be brought about by the
heat of the sun dying out and leaving
the earth a mass of ice. There was
just possibility that we might all be
asphyxiated by the, earth passing
through the tail of a comet, or this

deaths in war time and frequently has
a similar result after accidents In time
Of peace. S

often called, has long baffied the medi-

frequently followed grave shell

on after a person has been seriously
hurt in an accident in times of peace,
after, for example, he has had limb
crushed In railroad accident.
There have been numerous theories
Of the nature of shock. Some doctors
held that shock resulted from nervous
collapse, others that it came from a
clogging of blood vessels by fat from
wounds, some that it was due to pa
ralysis of the nerves controlling the
arteries, others that the adrenal gland
was somehow affected so as to do the
mischief, and so on.

wandering through space.
Another Way.
And the end might be brought about
by the slowing down or the speeding
up of the rate of the earth's rotation
on its own axis. The rotation. at
present is just sufficient to counter
act the centripetal force of the sun
and If 1t were slowed down the earth
would fly into the sun, starting at the
rate of LOO miles an hour and be
consumed. If the rate of rotation
were accelerated the earth would fly
out into space into temperature Of
400 degrees below zero and the oceans
would be frozen to their utmost
depths.
Other ways by which Mr.. Cullen
could see the world come to its end
were the closing up of all volcanoes
and other vents for gases, the newt
able result of which would be terrific
explosion that would shatter the world
or bring part of the atmosphere to
such heat that the oxygen and
nitrogen would unite and cause a
combustion of the atmosphere.
That such disasters were not impOs-
sible was shown. he said, by the spec
troscope, by means of which man
could read the life history of the

But the greatest danger that Mr..
Cullen thinks confronts the earth is
collision with dead star. Such Il
star would be invisible until it came
within the range of the suns rays,
which would he when II was five times
as far away as Neptune. 1t could then
