MOON OR SUN MAY DOOM
WORLD IN TRILLI0N YEARS

Every few months, scientists
say, stars, are seen exploding in
the heavens and since the sun is
a star, it might burst in blind
ing flash of light and destroy
every living thing on earth.
Again, the possibility exists
that the sun, source Of heat and
light and upon which all life is
dependent, might some day cool
off or burn itself out, thus. taking
the earth's foremost dynamo
away and destroying the world.
Each possibility is to be shown
in the Franklin Institutes en-
hibit, officials said, and they are
to be garnishcd with full effects
to create as near real IN atmoS-
phere as possible.
They admoniShcd, however,
that the ordinary lay person was
not to worry too much about
how the world will end because
as far as they can ascertain. the
crack Of doom is a million, on
maybe Il trillion years off,
$50 YOU see, our children and
our childrcn's children for many
generations to come will continue
to get sunburncd during the sum
mcr days and 'moonstuck at
night" an institute spokesman
said, $50 why worry about it,"

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10
The Man in the Moon has smiled
benignly down on blossoming
Young love since time began and
his soft light has lent itself to TO
nance from the days of Adam
and Eve, but now modern science
steps in and paints an entirely
different pictureof the old boy.
The time will come, calculating
scientists say, when the earth
must meet its doom, and one Of
it's potential destroyerS is the
moon.
Franklin Institute officials are
preparing a dramatic display to
be opened in September, of how
the world may come to an end
The exhibit will not attempt to
show Just what will cause the
ultimate destruction, but will
show several things which might
be the vital factor.
The moon does other things be-
side give the right touch to the
age-Old 'DON-Slll picture, Sclcnt-
lists say. The movements Of the
tides are slowly causing the moon
to recedc from the earth. In Il
few million years. it may reach
its zenith and then begin the de-
scent toward earth again.
When the Man in the Moon
gets close enough to this world
again, astronomers explained, he
will get his face torn apart by
violent tidal forces.
Millions Of tiny moons will
break off and form ring around
the earth similar to that around
the planet Saturn. The probable
outcome would be volcanic dis
turbanccs and earthquakes which
would doom man and his works
forever.
The moon. however. is not the
only thing which might speed
earth's Armageddon. The sun is
another and even E0rc tcrify-
ing possibility.

Is satisfied In the knowledge that he
has kept faith with himself and the
birds Of North America.
When the exhibit opens here tomor-
row 1t will be the first time the entire
collection has been shown in a single
place. On the walls of the exhibit
room are birds of every kind and de-
scription, birds Of radiant color and
others that blend naturally with their
habitats. birds little larger than the
leaves of the trees in which they perch,
and birds so huge that they had to be
reduced, but always to scale, to fit into
the collection.
Looking at these plates, so vibrant

to believe that the man who created
them never had any art training. His
only background for the work was a
job he had at IS in the engraving de-

He also worked as an art engraver in

And then he received another setback.
The orders that had come in SO fast

finished in 1882, the sets were quickly
ordered.
Mr.. Brasher was always afraid he
would die before his work was finished.
Twice he painted several hundred por-

wanderings through America, and
twice he burned the work that had
taken him so long to do. Many times

BALANCE Of TRADE
DECLINES IN REICH
Excess Of Exports S|umps
to 443,000,OOO Marks
During 1887.
BY WALLACE r. DEUEL.,


BERLIN, Jan. 22.-German foreign
trade lost some ground during the
last year. as compared with 1886, ac-
cording to final returns for 1887 pub
lished here today.
Exports for the last IL months
were valued at SOIL 100000 marks,
compared with only 4,768 200, 900
marks for 1896, an impressive achieve
ment. but one which was more than
counteracted by an increase of i'm
ports from 4.218 100000 marks in 1886
to 5,468,0 100000 marks in 1887.
The favorable balance thus
amounted to only 443.0o00O0 marks
for 1887 compared with an excess
of exports valued at $50 ,o00. 900 marks
for 1896. There was an active balance
of 100000 marks in 1885, a passive
balance of 100000 marks in 1884.
and an active balance of 667,000,O 900
marks in 1888.
In general it would appear that the
Nazis' violent efforts to push exports
are meeting with good deal Of Sue
>NS~o' amy sbAAA ldlL
OF making possible the import Of as
much as the Reich really needs. as the
notwithstanding points out today.
And they are made possible only by
heavy subsidies, excruciatingly COM
plicated and otherwise painful control
by the use Of other methods which Dr..
Hjalmar Schacht. Reichsbank presi-
dent. once described as "barbaric,"
and by heavy sacrifices on the part OF
the whole people
If the government can continue to
maintain exports in at least their
present volume. If it can continue to
find capital with which to pay its bills
in the proportion it is now paying
them, and if it can continue to con-
vince and cajole and, where necessary,
force the people to put up with sacri-
fees they now put up with-then the
NaN program can 60 on.

JapAn Slashes China Tariff.

China's provisional government under
japanese sponsorship today announced
tariff reductions ranging from 80 per
cent to so per cent on numerous i'm
portant imports.
The government asserted the reduc-
tions Disseminated against no nation,
but informed quarters declared the
