the human soul in its despair. It Is

The Hay of.liKlKinciii ! It wits upon
us. The last trump Iuul sounded: the
earth was to be consumed, and Its
oceans would be as oil in that mighty
coiillanratlon.
I leaped down the ravine. Already
the upper waters of the stream weir
burned uwny. and Its bed was dry ami
hot. Yet such sliced did I make in
that mini, desperate race, that I almost
overtook the lleelim torrent which
Unwed and llnnc-d before me Then
suddenly my strength Rave way. my
Hums sank under me. and I fell like a
Ftrhkcii animal: Tor mime moments
I lay shrouded in deadly faint ness. in

Then, with a wr.lnch or effort . I sat
up. Middy mid weak. 1 found myself

a llicker of light, as the envenomed

toward the deep, breaking at Intervals
into cascades of Incundescent bright

that iluzed and blinded him. he had
dragged himself down the rough gorge
to see the end.
And the end was near. Alrpndy that
distant tongue of vibrant llaino was
Hicking nt the margin of the sea. It
was more than human nerves- could
bear. We shrieked out like men in
nightmare tftvnr. We shrieked, and
Hhrleked iigain. and could not cease,
for the end of the wnrld was NOW.
The envenomed spume darted nut
ngainst the surf. Then a long white
crested Wiivp tolled In. and buried It
from view. A tall column of steam
shot up, so ruddy thut at first it seemed

The professor suan-to his feet. Ile
ut,wl lifreil noun his toes, t-verv muscle '
tense; his luea'-h cami.- nnd went In
shrill sighs. Ilsli.gured. naked. In that;
weird light, he was like a devil-hunted
soul tlceing from Its place or torment:
on his face a wild agony nf hone, as If
one might indeed escape from hell. He
strove to s:eak. hut the words gurgled
like an obstructed brook. Then with
supremo endeavor he trumpeted a cry:
"The salt!" if I heard aright, for In
deed It was hardly articulate, and he
fell like a llsuiv of stone.
Meanwhile, as the wave receded on
the beach a change was visible. The
red had vanished: a wash of luminous
green flowed down the sand: the surf
was shot with sparkles and flashes of
still more vivid hue. Then the red
waters 'of the stream again prevailed,
and pressed far out Iirthe Inline. ( lushes
of colored light bubbled un from the
depths, "and all over the tossing sur
face Muttered flames of blue ami green.
It seemed us if the briny waters ami
the fresh were s' niggling for the mas
tery. Whs it tiosslble that the salt of
the sea had nowci I dared not think
it.
The waters were onw boiling with ,
volcanic violence; the air above was
thick with rolling clouds of rainbow
tinted vapor: the fnany-hueil gleams
und Hashes playing under the waves lit
up the to it l mi of the ocean far and
near. So Intense was the Illumination
that 1 could see the scaly glitter of the
frightened fishes as they sped away on
every side, and the black slimy shapes
of nameless monsters truggllng in the
scalding' liUid.
0 Hod of mercy! what would he
the end? The strain was madness;
tip' suspense was more than death.
Was there indeed a t!od of power to
save or only this hideous demon of
science, which mail had evoked but
might not iucll?
1 lifted my eyes to the black, uniin
swering heavens, and cried to the void
above. ' . . ; '
"() Cod if Thou ait lod-oh! cast
inc down for my sin. with this raging
lire. Into the abyss of hell; but save the
fair world created by Thy hand Its
teeming cities and millions that are
sleeping Thy children."

And 1 saw. as in vision, a coiiilngration
mounting above the clouds, streaming
fa.' into the airless space, sweeping on
tc tlie destruction of mankind.
The channel of the stream was now
empty: the last crimson drops of fer
ment were drained into the deep. For
an instant the surface darkened, and
the ebullition almost ceased. Then
with an earthiiiake shudder, a blind
ing avalanche of liipiid Incandescence,
the waters were lifted in a thousand
fountains.
I lay staring
at the sky; raindrops
were falling on
my lace; it was ver
dark. Whether
a shock of the
I had been stunned by
explosion, or whether
human consciousness could no longei
endure the strain. 1 do not know Kvi
dently some time had elapsed. .My
head was resting upon something cold
and dead. I knew too well what it
was; but at Hist I could not rise: my
will was helpless, my body corpse-like.
I tried to think, but sensation lapsed
again.
At last I roused and was able to turn
a little. Slowly Hie power of sight
came back to my glazed eyeballs. All
the land was in shadow; the sea was
dark and smooth. The virus of lire
was iiuite burned out. the last spark
extinguished in Hie quenching brine.
The world was saved.

KAII.KO.AI NOUS,
Senator !!roe and his firm of brok
ers, Moore r Schley of New York, are
large holders of a ilass of country rail
road aid bonds which hnv been de
clared fraudulent by the I'nlted States
Supreme court. When the citizens here
learned that the senate had passed nn
amendment offered by Price and sanc
tioned by Kelegate Cation to Invali
date this debt, amounting to over $iimi.
ihh. In Smite Fe and lireat Counties,
there was utent excitement. An indig
nation meeting of taxpayers was held
at the court house, at which it was
charged Unit liricc had seemed the
passage of the am itdinenf by a gross
misrepresentation of the facts. C.ovev
nor Thornton publicly declared that
lh legate Catron Is the attorney for
file bondholders and Is in collusion with
lirlce to have congress overturn a Su
preme court decision which had award
ed justice to territorial residents. Strong
resolutions were adopted, which the
board of trade will forward to Wash
ington. It is learned that the anthracite coul
roads will not take any further action
on prices n production until the legis
latures of New York ami Pennsylvania
haie finished with their investigation.
The eom'innies are a' present mining
Just enough to meet the demand. There
Is still, however, a large surplus stock
of old coal nt: tide water points.
In regard to the dropping of the Mil
ford and Woonsneket and Milford.
Franklin muiI I'io,, lines in
Ithode Island by the New Kngland com
pany it Is stated that the Milford au
thorities have recently taken steps to
compel the obliteration of grade cross
ings which Would be so costly that
the two roads would be unprintable,
especially as electric competition has
set in. The' two roads are together
about twenty miles lonR and operuted
under contingent leases.

Anthracite eoal Interests look iinon
the soft coal pool as a factor that is
destined to very materially strengthen
their fMisition In all markets. They say
that M cents miwe per ton for bitum
inous would render the small sizes of
anthracite more attractive for steam
making nut-noses, nnd would certainly
check any disposition of steam genera
tors to switch over to soft e-oal.
