Declares Heat Will Turn
Earth Into Molten Lava

London.-The earth's crust con-
stantly is growing hotter and in some
thirty or fifty million years it will
iquefy completely. This statement
was made before the Royal Astronomi-
cal society here by Prof. John Jolly,
professor of geology and mineralogy
at the University of Dublin.
Professor Jolly, author of several
publications concerning the birth Of
the world and numerous other .scien-
tific essays, said the lower layer, or
substratum of the earth's crust upon
which the continents and the floors Of
the ocean rest, is continually becom-
ing hotter from the heats of the inte-
rior, and will gradually change their
formations in many millions of years
and that when the process is complet-
ed, the continents will "crack and will
sink until about nine-tenths of their
present area is submerged beneath
molten lava.
The substratum, Professor Jolly add
ed, will then cool gradually and the
continents again rise up. This cycle
of events has already repeated itself
many times in the past, he averred,
and will do so many times in the fu-
ture.

Too Lazy for Church
and Too Law to Sin

New York.-Too lazy even to be
wicked. That is what returned sailors
say Of the natives Of Begula island,
one of the Grenadine islands Of the
West Indies.
The average West Indian is lazy
enough, but he can be induced to labor
by the offer of gifts. Not so the Be
gulans. No inducement is great enough
to put life into them. They bask in
the sun all day long. When one side
becomes too hot they turn over. In
sects they wave off with ianguid
dip Of the hand. They are too lazy to
scratch. From one week end to the
next they lounge in front Of their huts.
What little work there is to do is done
by the women, who are not quite as
lazy as the men. If the fish bite, they
eat fish; if they don't, fruit is good
enough. I
The island has church of its own,
but because of the character Of the in
habitants no regular services are held
