POSSIBLE ENDING OF WORLD French 8clentlet 8howe How It May Com Through Admission of . Ocean to Interior. A, new kind of eni of the world has been imagined by M. Louis Ka bourdin, a French scientist Some times it has been suggested that the world will gradually become cold, so that life will be frozen out. M. Ra bourdin," however, 1 thinks it pos sible that the earth might end in an incandeBcent blazo. , The earth's crust, ho says, is very thin at the bottom of the sea, and Bhould it give way in consequence of volcanic action, the earth might be consumed in flames. "Suppose," he states, "that, fol lowing an extraordinary twisting movement, due to retreat of the cen tral mass, a large mass of the sea bottom should give way, and, fall ing suddenly, should let in the mass of the ocean's waters upon the in candescent interior matter. The wa ter would be decomposed by the heat, the hydrogen would burn, and it would burn more as it had access to more oxygen. "The conflagration would then gain in force, accompanied by elec tric phenomena, and the greater part of the earth's crust would prob ably be displaced. The earth, pass ing through a critical epoch and re turning for the time being to its formative period, would again be nothing but a globe of fire." A CLOSE MAN "I don't believe in doing things by halves." "Well, I've never known you to spend more than a quarter." FELINE STOWAWAYS. . Cats as stowaways was the un pleasant experience of a captain of a steamer which recently reached Aberdeen from the United States. Shortly after leaving port he was made aware of the presence of his unwelcome passengers, and upon in vestigation discovered eleven cats of all shades and conditions. Black, white, gray and pjebald cats of all nges, frisky young mothers and be whiskered old tommies, made up the crowd, and life on board the steamer was made miserable with their fight ing and vocalizing. Since arriving in port, Captain Johnson has turned the crowd ashore several times, but has been unable to get rid of them. When ready for sea h'e intends to have a watchman at every line to prevent their getting aboard again. The officers of the steamer claim the animals did not use the regular gangway to come aboard, but came over the catheads. NATURAL SOURCE. "Where do these reports which they say influence the markets come from?" "It is only natural to suppose they come from reporters." NATURAL INTERPRETATION. "Pop, do ships ever faint" "What a question, child. Of course not." "But there's a story where it says the ship came to." 8AFER PLACE. "Smith is dreadfully afraid of be ing hit by automobiles on the road." "What does he.do to avoid them?" "He walks on the railroad ties." THE OBJECTION. Tenant I wish you would keep the furnace hot.

SOOT QUICKLY WASHED AWAY Rainfall Cleanses London of a Proclpl. tatlon That Can Only B Classed ' at Enormous. The peck of dirt which proverbial ly each- man has to eat before .he dies but not all at one meal shows no signs of shortage in London, for, according to the scientists, some 60,000 tons of soot and dust are an nually precipitated throughout the metropolis. This amount, however, is not a terribly alurming one, for it must be borne in mind that Lon don is a big place, and a fall of 60,000 tons per annum over sn area of 100 square miles only means the descent of less than a ton per acre, and so the whole of a twelve months' supply could easily be washed away by a single vigorous shower, seeing that a fall on a. wet day of an inch of rain means a cleansing flood of 100 tons of water per acre; and thus, putting things roughly, 30 inches of j rainfall in London in a year places at the disposal of this department of the public health a ton of water to wash away every pound of soot de posited. And the soot does, not al ways need washing away from the ! surfaces of roofs and streets, for it . is commonly brought down in liquid form by the rainfalls and swept di rectly into' the sewers. HAD PROOF OF DOG'S DEATH Animal Had Been "Kilt'' Before, but Thle Time He Seemed Unlikely to Come Back. caveeeeaaaajsa 'A farmer who lives just outside a small village on the main road out of London formerly owned a Tcry vicious dog. This animal became so notorious for its attacks on cyclists that few passed that way, to the det riment of the local hotel and shops. One day a mild-looking gentleman with a nice new machine drew up at the village inn and asked the land lord to give him a meal, saying that as he was approaching the village a dog bounced out of a house and got under his bicycle. lie rode it down and killed it, and had given its owner all the money he possessed as com pensation. The landlord's eyes grew wide. "Are you certain that you kilt that dog?" he asked. "Indeed, yes. To make sure it was really dead, I compelled him to bury it while I was there." "Then come inside and have a din ner at my expense, sir I" cried the landlord, enthusiastically. "That dog's been kilt often before, good ness knows, but you're the first man 'at's had the sense to stop and see it buried." London Tit-Bits. LARGE CONSULAR DISTRICT. The consular district of Tahiti embraces all of the islands in the south Pacific ocean that are included in the Society, the Tuamotu and the Tubuai archipelagoes, the Marque sas, Gambier and Maretiri groups, and the island of Rapa, a total of more than two hundred islands and islets belonging to France and known as the French establishments in Oceania, or more commonly known as the Society islands. ' The total population is estimated at 33,000, made up of about 26,000 natives, some 3,000 Chinese, and about 4,000 of all other nationalities, including Europeans and Americans. The in habitants are unevenly distributed throughout the" various groups, leav ing many of tho islands uninhabited. HE KNOWS. "I want to see the sights in New York.

But for tho enllKhtenincnt of the few who knew not Alex. I shall explain Hint he wna quietest when most de lighted, and he wn Indeed thankful to Ms homes for putting him beside this sweet little violet of humanity. He drew a long hreuth and waited for her to apeak. He didn't know the girl and he hoped she didn't know him. Otherwise she might be tike the oth ers; overtalkotlve, unnnturnL and apt to overdo. He was too modest to ap preciate 'the fact that. as the beHt catch In the matrimonial sea. he was apt to be offered bait In generous quan tities and of Infinite variety. Dorothy looked around the dining room with wide eyes, then up at bltp with a smile. "I can't believe I'm awake," she laid. "Nor It was an Invitation to go on. "No. They say that sometimes a wish Is father to a thought Maybe I've Just wished for something like this so often that now I think It's true. Maybe I'm not here at all only think ing I am." "What does It matter? Maybe I'm thinking all this too." "I was Just thinking." she. remarked In the Interval before the soup, "that It's a shame Bob couldn't be here. He'd love It so. But Aunt Jane eald he couldn't come, that's all there was to It Aunt Jane said It was kind of MrS. Dexter to ask one of the poor Vir ginia relations without ringing In the three of us. . lou see, there's Robert, Stonewall and myself. The boys are dears; you ought to know them. Bob's my twin." "He must be a dear," ventured Alex. 8he laughed, but, colored neverthe less. He changed the subject "Are you fond of old silver?" he asked. "I've been admiring those Georgian candle sticks. The pattern Is very rare." "I've been collecting bits here and there," he went on. "No doubt you can tell me some wonderful things about old silver. Most Southerners can. But one thing I have discovered for myself, that Southerners may part with their homes, their clothes, and even their souls, but their sliver never. ' I know where there are some splendid collec tions In the South, but you can't get them." Dorothy's appetite for food suddenly disappeared. She laid down her fork and looked so distressed that Alex wondered what dreadful thing he had said. "I want to to tell you," said the girl finally, "where I happen to know you may find a beautiful collection of Georgian silver. It Is at.Bernl's, on Fifth avenue. It all came from one family, and It seems to me the things ought to stay together." Then sud denly and brightly, as If to put a dis tasteful thought behind her, "I wish you could know Wnlly and Bob. Poor Bobl" "Why poor?" "Oh, he loves nice things 'so. We all do I But I really meant It literally, you know.. We are poor. very. You see thnt's why I'm" She stopped. Virginia prldo was uppermost. "Noth ing," she answered his eager Inquiry. "I thought I could tell you, but I can't" A painful flush had spread over her face, and Alex had an uncomfortable feeling that tears were near. Some thing was giving this little girl I great deal of unhapplness, he had discov ered, and suddenly he had a desire to chase the clouds away from the seri ous dark eyes, and to see the dimple come and go in her lovely, smooth cheek. The next day he stopped In Bernl's, And there was Dorothy herself, hat less, coatless and In the plain black gnrb of a clerk. She colored furiously when she saw him. Alex was puttied. Was the story of Virginia, then, merely a happy fiction, manufactured to entertain a dinner partner? If so, It was good. "Good afternoon," be said; "I understand there was a fine collection of old Georglnn silver here. May I see It?" "Certainly I"- Dorothy led the way to a table on which was an array that made Alex fairly Jump with astonish ment. . "It's splendid I" he cried. "Whose was It? Where did It come from? I never saw anything like It." "The silver Is mine all I have. But the boys must go to school, and It must go. I won't let anyone else sell It That was one stipulation I made to Bern!, that I must approve the pur chaser. When anyone else comes along, I double treble the price." "But I must have It I Do you ap prove of me?" She nodded. "But the collection Isn't complete. There Is something else chat will have to go with It before I take It" "What Is that?" "You.' I always know what I want Instantly, and I could hove told you that last night You're the loveliest girl. I've ever known." He reached for her hand. Dorothy did not draw It away, but Instead a deep, steady light dawned In her eyes and the dimple Alex so longed to see appeared In her cheek. "I wonder If this Is reully true, or If I'm Just thinking It Is," she sold. "I hope It's true for us both," he whispered.
