If things continue to go on us they

will IOHO HH life-giving heat long before
12,000.000 years have elapsed. Like all
other cooling bodies , the sun must be

thut In lens Hum 5,000,000 years the
sun's diameter will contract to one-
hulf Its present length , so ( hut the
aim will occupy only ono-olghth of the
Bpaco It now occupies. It is hardly possible for It
after thut to continue , to furnish as much heat us
It doea now. but , It must then cool olT with grout
rapidity.
This reasoning Is bused on the supposition that
the sun Is not yet u solid body , but Is H hot that
its mass Is still In a gaseous state. Hut the force
of gravity upon the HUH Is BO great that the gas Is
compressed Into a much smaUur proportionate compass -
pass than It Is on the onrlh. The force of gravity
on the surface of the sun Is 27 times that on the
earth , so that a man weighing 150 pounds on the
earth would weigh neurly two tons on the sun. So
great Is this pressure of gruvlty on the gases of
the sun thut uro they reduced to one-quarter the
density of the solid nucleus of the earth. Hut so
long us the nucleus of the sun continues to be
gaseous It will continue to grow hotter as It dimin
ishes in size. So soon , however , as It loses suf-
detent heat to allow the material to take on the
solid form , a crust will bo formed mid the rndint-
ing heat will rapidly diminish. Probably , also ,
the heat radiated will diminish long before that
time , oven though the sun is growing hotter , be
cause of the diminishing size of the globe.
The only way that the astronomers can see to
avoid this Blow paralysis of the sun , and so of the
whole solar system , Is that lately proposed hy 1'rof.
Langley In u sensational article cioplcttng what
would happen If a dark world inovltirf ut an Incred
ible speed In space should come t > o near our sun
thut tlie two would collide. In this case the origi
nal heat of the sun might bo icstorod , but the catastrophe
tastrophe- would practically produce such an ex
pansion of Its volume and such an increase of Us
radiating power that everything on the eaith would
bo burned up , producing about such phenomena us
uro dobcrlbod by the Apostle rotor. Indeed , the resemblance -
semblance between the words of the apostle und
the. theory of the Washington astronomer was as
striking as U was unexpected , so much so that some
renders muy not know from which source the fol
lowing quotation Is taken :
"Tho heavens shall pass away with a great
noise , and the elements shall bo dissolved with
fervent heat , and the earth and the works therein'
shall bo burned up. " ,
Hut the suggestion of the astronomer was pure
speculation. There are no apparent signs of any
mich approaching catastrophe as Dr. Langley sug
gests as possible. At any into , we may settle
down to the conclusion that so far as astronomical
forces are concerned the pios-ont order of things
will not bo disturbed for three or four million
years.
Hut an equally gloomy prospect Is before the
world In the distant future Irom another cause
which Is In slow operation. The length of the
eaith's day Is slowly Increasing through the re
tarding Inlluence of the tides produced by the
moon. To be sure , this effect Is so slight that It
has not been directly perceptible since accurate
methods of measuring the time of Uio earth's
revolution on Its axis have been observed. Hut
that It must be taking place Is as sure as that
friction will stop a railroad train when the steam
is turned off.
The tides raised by the moon's attraction are
distributed by the continents .so as to present
muny anomalies , but when considered In them
selves they act the same as a wave three feet high
constantly running In an opposite direction to
the revolution of the earth , and HO by friction re
tarding Its motion. Astronomots are agreed that
similar tides produced on the moon have reduced
her revolution on her axis to a period of 28 days.
Kventually the revolution of the earth will be
reduced so that our day will bo several times long ,
or than now. When that time comes the nights
will be so cold thut nothing can stand it. and if
they could the days will bo so hot that what was
left by the cold would bo destroyed by the heat.
Hut that time , also , is HO far In the future that the
present generation may put It out of their minds.
This catastrophe will not arrive for muny million
vcars yet. Indeed , before that time arrives the
the earth's surface is , on the average ,
washed away by the streams every
I,000 ! years and deposited at the bottom
tom of the ocean. Tills amounts to
more than I'.OO foot in a million years.
As the main elevation of North Amer
ica is 748 feet , and that of Europe G71
foot. It follows that by the operation
of piesent forces Europe will bo
washed into the sea in 2,000,000 years ,
and America in : i,000,000 years.
What providence has in store for us
after that , no man knows. If the sunk
en portion shall rise at the end of that
period , as it did at the end of the coal
peilod , there will bo dry hind to live
on , but It is doubtful if it have auch
stores of Iron and coal as have blessed
the piesent race of human beings.
There are two other sources of heat
to which we may look with much con-
ildence and hope. It was more than
a dieam of Ericsson to invent an en
gine which could bo run by collect
ing the direct rays 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 plans
would necessitate the transfer of our
great manufacturing centers to the
rainless regions of the world where
perpetual sunshine prevails. It. therefore , will
not be impossible that the desert of
Sahara und the sandy wastes of Central Asia shall
In the future usurp the place now assumed by
the localities In proximity to the great coal Holds
of the world , while the latter become overgrown
with briars and brambles like the mounds of many
an ancient center of civilization.
Still another possible source from which wo
nuiy draw Inllnlto quantities of heat and power
is to be found in the heated center of the earth.
At > wo descend below the surface of the earth ,
the temperature rises on an average of one degree
In 00 feet. At a depth of two miles , therefore ,
the tempoiature of boiling water would be reached ,
and at n , depth of live miles a temperature of
more than -100 degrees. It would , therefore , not
seem by any means Impossible' to bore Into the
earth deep enough to make a portion of its heat
available for all ordinary purposes.
The world , however , Is concerned with Impend
ing catastrophes nearer at hand. The prosperity
of the present time is largely due to the rapid
ity with which wo are using up the reserved stores
of nature upon or near the surface of the earth.
Thus geology , whileit opens up to mankind the
stores of good that arc burled for safekeeping in
the depths of the earth , points to their limited quan
tity , and calls upon men to use thorn economically
and leave as much as possible for future genera
tions. Wastefulness of these limited stores Is a
sin. At the same time it gives the philosophical
student of history a sobering view of the destiny
of man. Nothing is more certain than that man
has not been always on the earth , and that he is
not always to stay here. The world Is like a
transcontinental railroad train and the human
race Hko a paseenxor who gets on at ono end a'ud
