u7Fnur V7unuub A Scientific Theory Concerning the End of Our Planet Credulous individuals who are al ways fearful that some of the ends of the world predicted by sensational prophets may prove to be true will find considerable comfort in the asser tion of Professor Lowell that there Is good scientific evidence for the belief that mankind will have many years warning of the great catastrophe that is destined to put an end to all things on this planet According to Professor Lowells statements there Is somewhere within the remote con lines of space a great mass of matter once a world but now dead that Is hurling Itself to ward our sun In time it is certain to reach the goal to which It is tend ing and when the two come together the globe on which we live is destined to cease to exist Fortunately for our -peace of mind there is at the present moment no such dead world within dangerous proximity and yet any day it may appear Any day the morning papers may announce that one of these dark bodies has come within the reach of the telescope that it may readily be seen by the light of the sun reflected upon it While it would then be certain that the end of the world was in sight there would still be ample time in which to prepare for the inevitable If the first view of the intruder was caught at the eleventh magnitude it could scarcely come much nearer without being detected it would not he until twenty seven years later that it would become visible to the naked eye and three years more would elapse before it appeared to us as equal in size to a first magnitude star In two years and three mouths more it would have come as near to us as Jupiter and by that time it would be far the brightest star in the sky In fact its effect upon the world would already be felt Our seasons would chauge and the days would grow long ger Finally just 14a days later those who were still alive would wit ness the beginning of the end The stranger would not strike the earth but would pass so close in its dash to the sun that the earth would turn and follow until together they would drop silently into the sun Brooklyn Eagle A GHOST AT SEA The Phantom That Boarded the Bark Sea Flower The following incident is recorded as a true short story by an English publication The Sea Flower a bark of some 4o0 tons was iu the early hours of the 23d of JuuelSU4 bound for Bristol England under the command of the first mate tier captain John Ellis having been left behind at Kingston Jamaica suffering from yellow jack It was about four bells in the middle watch or 2 a mi when the mate who was standing near the binnacle giving the helmsman his course suddenly be came aware of a mysterious presence in the waist of the ship At the same moment his companion clutched him by the arm aud pointing shrieked Dye see him sir Before he could reply the mate be came aware that the dark shadow he had just before observed had so far materialized that it bore the appear ance of Captain Ellis The figure of the captain advanced along the deck and disappeared slowly down the com panion Recovering himself the mate left the helmsman and hurried down into the cabin meeting just coming out of it the second mate who told him he had been awakened with a start after dreaming that the captain had come aboard and was calling him Both men then made a complete search of the saloon and the other cabins but it is needless to say without result Later it was fouud that Captain El lis had died between 1 and 2 a in in the morning of June 23 The story got about and the ship ob tained a reputation for being haunted consequently a difficulty was found in obtaining crews and in the end it was renamed and sold to a foreign firm The Fly1 on the Ceiling It is often a matter of wonder how flies get on to the ceiling because to do so they have to turn a semisomer sault in the air said Sir Henry Hill in the course of a lecture delivered at the London institution A fly said Mr Hill has a backward and forward movement of the wings and can part ly turn them round in addition to the up and down motion of a birds wings That enables it to turn in al most qny direction At the end of each one of a

that ever ventured to sit in a little poker game among that crew One night the tenderest tenderfoot Imaginable after a half dozen drinks In the saloon agreed to take a hand in a dollar limit game Tilings went along In the usual way for awhile Theu an amazing series of nods and winks began to pass about The bartender had sig naled that the teuderfoot held four kings on the draw There wore more nods and winks and betting began In the midst of the betting a waiter brought sandwiches and whisky in order to distract the tenderfoot and while the poor dupe was tossing off his drink the sharper next him slip ped a sixth card on to his hand thus of course nullifying it The unconscious tenderfoot look up a huge sandwich bit off a large mouthful and began to bet again Right and left of course they raised him He ate on and bet away calm ly An enormous sum lay on the table Then suddenly the bartender re sumed his nods and winks He was terribly excited Something was wrong The sharpers a little anxious called the tenderfoot The tenderfoot finished the last bite of his sandwich took a long drink of whisky and laid down his original five cards Then iu silence he gath ered in his vast pile of winnings and with a cool nod took his leave After his departure there was a terrible time What the dickens did he do with that sixth cardV the sharper cried Didnt you see Didnt you see cried
