CaiM'l' Saturday JoiiiirI, The terrible catastrophe in It aly which caused tlicinhnhitants 1 of the ill-fated city ol .Mei-sinu to ! believe that the end of time had ' come is only a foretaste on a small scale of what ninny emi-! nent scientists believe will tie the ' end ol the world. That eternal ! problem of how the world will end is in the opinion of ninny a j matter of scientific investijra-! tion, and it is curious that tliej majority believe that the earth i w ill ojien up and fly to pieces in ' the most gigantiearthqur.kc ev er know n, an earthquake that w ill w ipe all life from the globe before the net utl destruction of the earth is complete. The late Grant Allen firmly be lieved that the world would end by the crust of the earth eventu ally giving way beneath the co lossal weight above it; and Abe Dupin, one of the greatest scient ists ol France, bi lieves that doomsday will begin with a war that will envelop the greatest na tions in Europe, this being fol lowed by a plague the like ol w hich has never lieen known, cul minating with an earthquake that will practically shake the world to pieces. Mr. II. G.' Wells, whose scien tific prophecies are well known, is, however, of a different opin ion. The world will end, lit de clares, by its becoming entirely frozen over. It is a well known fact every year ni'.re ice accumu lates around the poles; in short, many millions of tons of ice mex cess of that of th year previous settle about the earth's extremi ties each year, and in Mr. Well's opinion this will gradually ex tended until t lie whole world is frozen over and everything is de stroyed. Several scientist are of the o pinion thsit we shall pe'ish by fire, mid this old world of ours with u. Nikola TVsbi, the grent American, is convinced that the atmosphere of t lie wo Id being so full v charged with electricity, the result will be a gigantic explo sion by spontaneous combustion when the world will I et-tirely encircled with flame which in the space of a lew seconds will des troy all life. Two of the world's greatest sci entisl s firmly aver that the end oftheworldwill.be brought a bout by astronomical eondi' ions Take Professor Marienherg, the noted Austrian student. In his opinion the earth w ill fly from its orbit and come in contact with one of theother planets that may chance to be in a direct line. The earth beiug comparatively small will, of course, get 'he worst of it, and split into fragments at the collision. But, of course, di rectly the world swerved from the orbit all living things would die, and such an earthquake take place as would completely put the Italian catastrophe in the shade. Just as interesting is the prog nostication of M. Camille Flatu marion, one of the greatest liv ing scientists. After many years of study he has arrived at the conclusion that the world will in the twenty-fifth ct ntury come a cross the path of the comet Be lia, which crossed onr line a few years ago. On this occasion, how ever, a collision will take place, and Belia beiug infinitely greater than the shock caused by the collision between two trains, each traveling at 63 miles an hour. A 6imple worm went out to play Upon an April morning: An early robin chanced that way Without a chirp of warning; And this is the end of the story S"AdvertiseinlheDeomcrat"s Il.in't Spend All Voq ) jth. Did you ever see a horse work ing in an old fashion' d trend inill, always on the move; yet never nio ing toward a near or! fa r-a w ay goa :? j Many times you've sympathiz ed w ith that old horse, and won- dered if there was not some wa.y j in which, lie might be released i from his toil 'ind incessant tramp, tramp, tramp. But eircumstan-1 ces over which neither you nor the horse hail any control kept! him to his place and compelled him to plod on and on. Have you stopped to think that j the man w ho spends all the inon-! cy he earns is like that old horse.' Have you ever considered that ! if you are speiidingnllyour mon ey as it comes to you, week by week or month by month, in ; your pay envelope you are work I ing in a tread mill? Yet yo l are. : At the end of the mouth you are no nearer the end of vour nmbi- i tions than you were at the begin ! ning. J NaturallT this does not apply j to the man who is paying on each month a percentage of the in-1 debtedness aaainst his houe, or creditors w ho have just accounts j against him. But it does apply to the young man or the old man, who lives to the full extent of his salary, and at the end of the month has nothing on earth to show for it, save a couple ol hun dred cigar stubs, frayed theatre tickets and worn-out neck-lies and gloves. It's a good thing for a man to sit down and figure out just how his money grows, when once he begins saving it systeruatica'ly. Pennies, nickles, dimes, quar ters and half dollars make up dodars and dollars take to them selves wings very quickly when they are u.ed for luxuries and the unnecssary things of life. But these same pennies and all the re.-.t, grow rapidly when they are husbanded and properly cared for. John I). Rockefeller says that the beginning of his fortune came on that day when, as a boy hoe ing corn at 50 cuts a day, he made the discovery that $50.00 put out at 7 per cent, interest in a year would have an interest equal to the amount of money he could ear in seven days at the rate he was then receiving. Some years ago a father of good reputation looked into the eyes of his first-born when thelit tie fellow was six hours old. There's nothing m this world makes a man feel his responsi bility quite so much as his first born baby boy. Musing, the lath er said to himself: "I am not a rich man, I am on ly a yout g man on a salary, but I will, God helping me, do this for my boy. Today I'll put 121. in bank for him. When he is a year old I'll put .'f20, when he is two I'li put ID, and so on until he is 21. He began it. The 21 years are not up yet, but more than a third of the time is, and having continued all these years the prospect is that he w!ll continue. When the boy is 21 the lather will Rave placed in hank for him the nice little nest egg of $221. At that in the bank where it is drawing 4 percent, interest, com pounded semi-annually, will amount to $390,43. That wid be a fine present to hand to the young voter when he comes to cry. '"There's a man in the house." It will be a good thing it you, on pay day, young man, will take just as much of that money in j your envelope as you can spare I and put it in some good savings j institution and begin letting it grow.

Wagner lias seized at Wake For est ten barrels of Hour made in Virginia which it is claimed is misbranded The Hour is in charge of Marshal Dockeryand the man ufacturer is to be tried under tlie pure food law and if convicted the flour will be confiscated and he punished. This state has a pure food law, under the t'T.ns of which any manufacturer of ad liberated foods within the State can be arrested and tried and of course any seller within theState also, but the United States has t: look alter person who manu facture outside and ship here. Mr. M. W. Allen, whohascharge of the pure food department of this State under the direction the Agricultural Department, says that the national law as to the bleaching of flour goes into effect June 1st and the State law April 19th. The bleaching is done with oxide of nitrogen, produced by the electric spark in the air, this being known as the Alsop ' process. It destroys to a consid erable extent the most nourish ing part of the flour, though it whitens it and gives it a more at j tractive appea-ance. It also Heaves oxlle in the flour, w hich is deleterious, ond hence t he nation I al and Slate laws are directed a 1 gainst this process, which is re garded as really a dangerous one.
