1 Jn things conttuuo to go on as thoy
now dq, astronomers tell us, tho sun
W.IU loBe.lls life-giving heat long before
12,000,000 years bavo elapsed. Like all
other cooling bodies, the sun must be
diminishing in size. Its diameter must
bo contracting. Newcomb estimates
that in less than rt000,000 years the
sun's diameter will contract to ono
half Its present length, so thnt tho
sun will occupy only one-eighth of the
space It now occupies. It is haidly possible for It
after that to continue to furnish ns much heat as
It does now, but it must then cool off with gieat
rapidity.
TIiIb reasoning Is based on the supposition that
tho sun Is not yet a solid body, but Is so hot that
Its mass Is still In n gasooiiB state. Hut tho force
of gravity upon the sun Is so great that the gas Is
compressed Into n much smaller pioportlonate com
pass thun it is on tho enrth. Tho force of gravity
on the surface of tho sun Is 27 times that on the
earth, so that n man weighing 150 pounds on the
earth would weigh nearly two tons on the sun. So
great Is this pressure of gravity on the gases of
the sun thut are they i educed to one-quarter tho
density of the solid nucleus of the earth. Hut so
long ns the nucleus of the sun continues to be
gnseous It will continue to grow hotter ns it dimin
ishes in Bize. So soon, however, ns it loses suf
ficient heat to allow tho material to take on tho
solid form, a crust will be formed nnd the radiat
ing heat will rapidly diminish. Probably, also,
the heat radiated will diminish long befoie thut
time, even though the sun Is glowing hotter, be
cause of tho diminishing size of the globe.
Tho only way that tho astronomers can seo to
avoid this slow paralysis of the sun, and so of tho
whole solar system, is that lately proposed by Prof.
I.angley In a sensational nrttcle depicting what
would happen If a dark world moving at nu incred
ible speed In space should come so near our sun
that tho two would collide. In this case tho origi
nal heat of tho sun might bo rcstoicd, but tho ca
tastrophe would practically produco such an ex
pansion of its volume and such nu iHcrcaso of its
radiating power that overything on the earth would
bo burned up, producing about such piienomona us
nro described by the Apostle Peter. Indeed, tho ro
Bemblance between tho words of tho apostlo nnd
the thcoiy of the Washington astronomor was as
striking as It was unexpected, so much so that srmo
readers may not know from which sourc tz lol-
"The heavens shall pass away with u great
noise, anil the elements shall be dissolved with
fervent heat, and the earth and the works theieln
shall be burned up."
Hut the suggestion of tho astronomer was pure
speculation. Thero uro no apparent signs of any
such approaching catastrophe ns Dr. I.angley sug
gests as possible. At any rate, we may settle
down to the conclusion that so far as astronomical
foices are concerned the present oider of things may draw infinite quantities of heal and powor
the earth's surface is. on the average,
washed away by tho streams every
3,000 years nnd deposited at the bot
tom of the ocean. This amounts to
more than !IOO feet lu n million years.
As tho main elevation of North Amer
ica Is 748 feet, .and that of Europe 671
feet. It follows that by the operation
of present forceB Europe will be
washed into the sea In 2,000,000 years,
and America In 3,000,000 years.
What providence has in store for us
after that, no man knows. If the sunk
'en portion shall rise at tho end of that
period, ns it did at tho end or the coal
porlod, thero -will be dry land to llvo
on, but It Is doubtrul IT It have such
stores of Iron nnd coul as havo blessed
(he present race of human beings.
Thoio are two other sources of heat
to which we may look -with much con
fidence and hope. It was more than
a dream of Ericsson to Invent an en
gine which could be run tby collect
ing tho direct rnys of the sun through
immense sun-dials, thus generating
the heat necessary to set in motion
the wheels of Industry. Hut the suc
cessful carrying out of his plaiiB
would necessitate the transfer of our
great manufactuilng centers to tho
rainless regions of the world where
perpetual sunshine prevails. It, therofore, will
not be Impossible that the desort of
Sahara nnd the sandy wastes of Central Asia shnll
in tho future usurp the place now assumed by
the localities In proximity to the grout coal fields
of tho world, while the latter becomo overgrown
with briars and brambles Ilko tho mounds of many
an ancient center of civilization.
Still another possiblo source from which wo

will not be disturbed for thiee or four million
years.
Hut an equnlly gloomy prospect Is before tho
world In tho distant futuio from another causo
which Is In slow operation. Tho length of the
eaith's day Is slowly Increasing through tho re
tarding Influence of the tides produced by tho
moon. To be sure, this effect Is so slight that It
has not been directly po'rceptlblo slnco nccurato
methods of measuring tho time of tho earth's
i evolution on Us axis have been observed. Hut
thnt It must bo taking place is as sure as that
friction will stop a railroad train when the steam
Is turned off.
Tho tides raised by tho moon's attraction are
distributed by the continents so ns to present
many anomalies, but when considered In thorn
selves they act the sumo as a wave threo feet high
constantly running in an opposite direction to
tho revolution of the eurth, and so by friction re
tarding Its motion. Astronomers uro agreed thut
similar tides pioduccd on tho moon havo reduced
her revolution on her axis to u period of 28 days.
Eventually tho revolution of the earth will bo
reduced so that our day will bo aevornl tlmos long
er than now. When that time comes tho nights
will bo so cold that nothing can stand it, and If
thoy could tho days will bo so hot that what was
left by tho cold would bo destroyed by tho heat.
Hut thnt tlmo, also, Is so fur In tho future that tho
present generation may put it out of their minds.
This catastrophe will not arrive for many million
years yot. Indeed, beforo that tlmo arrives tho
Is to be found In tho hcutod center of the enrth,
As wo descend below tho surface of the eurth,
tho temperature rises on an average of ono degree
in GO feet. At a depth of two miles, therefore,
tho temperature of boiling water would be reached,
and nt u depth of Ave miles a temperature of
nioi e thun 400 degrees. It would, therofore, not
seem by tiny means Impossible to bore into tho
earth deep enough to muko a portion of Its heat
available for all ordinary purposes.
Tho world, however, Is concerned with Impend
ing catastrophes nearer at hand. Tho prosperity
of tho present tlmo is largely duo to tho rapid
ity with which wo are using up the reserved storos
of nature upon or near tho surface of tho earth.
Thus geology, whtlo It opens up to mankind tho
storeb of good that aro burled for safekeeping in
the depths of theenrth, points to their limited quan
tity, and calls upon mon to uso them economically
and lenvo as much ns possible for future genera
tions. Wastefulness of these limited stores la a
sin. At tho snmo time It'glvs tho" philosophical
student of Vlstory a sobering view of tho destiny
of m"-.. Nothing Is more cortaln than that man
h1- not been always on tho earth, and that ho Is
not alwuya to stay hero. Tho wprld Is like a
transcontinental railroad train and tho human
ruco liko a passenger who gets on at one ond and
him to got off at the othor. Out of mystery man
come and Into mystery ho goes. Tho visible world
Is a pmstng show. All that is unchangeable lies
In the world of tho unseen.

which greeted her appearance at tho

In delirious enthusiasm with ono sho

tho closo of tho opera, she was called
beforo the curtain again and ngaln
for more than nn hour, until she was
bo exhausted that she could scarcely
stand. Her enthusiastic admirers
then followed her carriage to the ho

though It was a bitterly cold night,
until three o'clock In tho morning. On
the following day when sho reached
the station to depart tho platform was
crowded with hundreds of adoring
