OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER, FRIDAY OCTOBER 20, 1911 CHIIiDREX MARRIED. Interesting Experience of Love Stricken Pair Who Finally Won Out- New York. Home sickness tempt ly checked the romantic plans of Ar thur Edwards James and Ruth Jane Day, 14 years old, who eloped from 18 South Orange N. J., last Saturday. They returned to their homes one right this week,having tried in vain, to obtain a marriage license. Al though footsore and disspirited.the children begged to be permitted to znarry.and the wedding will probably take place in a few days in the Epis copal church at South Orange, which both have attended since they were mere babes. The aprents have con sented to the union. Young James was hardly more than a shadow of the gallant lov er of a few days ago when he ac companied his weeping sweetheart to her home last night. '"Can I Come In?" "Can I come in," said a weak, girlish voice, as the front door of the Day home, at No. 320 Valley St was opened by Mrs. Charles Day. , "Why bless you, my little doll,' cried Mrs.Day, who was overjoyed, ''of course you can come in, and you also," she concluded, reaching one hand to young James, who stood hesitating in thei doorway. "Mother, it was all so different from what I thought it would be explained the girl as she, dried her tears. "I love Arthur, but I was homesick for you. I wanted you to tuck me in bed and look after me as you used to do-" The hearty manner in which he was received at the Day home en couraged James, and he slipped out of the back door, through a hole in the back fence and into the yard of his father's home No. 317 Academy street. Just Wanted Clean Handkerchief. " I want a handkerchief, the I took with me is all soiled," he said to his mother, Mrs. Henry James, who opened the aoor in re sponse to his summons- '"Are you married, Arthur?" she asked. I'll tell you about it later.mother. I must get back to . see my girl,"he replied and ran from the house. The young adventurers made a brave, but futile, struggle against homesickness. Since leaving South Orange last week they had spent mcst of their time in Long Island City and Far Rockaway At first they were as hapy as during the time they had spent together af ter school hours.But as the authori ties of Jersey City and Long Isl and City ,ersisted in their determi nation not to permit them to mar ry without the written consent of their aprents, the beautiful castles of their dreams began to fade. Although consent to wed was re ceived from their parents, the elop ers failed to meet the requirements prescribed by City Clerk, George Frenz, of Long Island City, when they, for the second time aplied to him for a license. James presented the regulation legal form that had been filled out by their parents.Hi3 bride-to be, who held him by the band, laughed as the clerk scanned the document. "Let's have the license and be done with it," said Jamesi. "Not yet," said Clerk Frenz. "I see that the signature in thi3 certificate are acknowledged by J. Charles O'Brien, a commissioner, of deeds, of South Orange, but I do not know his signature. It will have to be certified to me by the county clerk of Orange county. AVee Bride-Elect Weeps- The girl dropped into a chair an began weeping. '"Let'fll go home,' she said woeful "Let's go home," she said woeful get married right. They left the courthouse, the girl crying on her sweetheart's shoulder, and started for South Orange. The couple appeared at Far Rock away on Monday. The boy was liired as an apprentice by D. H. W. Benson, a painter. 'He was on the job early Tuesday morning," said Mr- Benson. He did good work. I promised to give him $2.50 a day. The next morning he came to me and confessed his trou bles. Whtrn he was leaving he said be might return and work for me again " At Far Rockaway Tuesday night the couple engaged two rooms at e botel conducted by John Gaffney, No. 226 Central avenue. Was Good Iattle Housekeeper. '"Although she was just a' child, she was a good little; housekeeper," said Mrs. Gaffney last night- '"I knew she was. green at the work because her hands were white and soft. She had never done much labor. She cooked supper, that nighi and breakfast the next morning for. berself and that boy. ' She stood over the gas stove and went at the work as if she were determined to do it right. In the morning she made up the beds, washed the windows and mop ed the floors. Why,I thaught they were going to stay here all wintei from th thorough manner in which she cleaned everything. 'When they came here they said that they wanted the rooms for a week. The boy paid me $2; half the rent money. Tuesday night they received a special delivery1 letter from South Orange. The next morn ing another letter came. Afterward the girl came knockiing at my door and said her mother was ill and that she would have to go back home, mey looisea nappy wueu they left here." WHEX EARTH STANDS STILL- In About 3,320 Years one Side of The World Will Be a Burning De sert. Washington Cor. St. Louis Post-Dis patch. A discovery of tremendous import to the human race has just been disclosed by Prof. Louis A. Mauer.of the Carnegie Institution Washington! The world is slowing down in its daily rotation and the days are get ting longer. Magnetic storms are putting a magnetic brake on the earth, and if they continue to con strict this brake, at the rate meas ured for the past ten years, in just 3,320 years this good old earth will no longre be turning like one O4 Mathewsdn's curved balls, but will settle down, with one side in per petual sunshine, blasted by wither ing heatj and the other side in end less darkness and cold, correspond ing to the etreme frigidity of inter stellar space- Observe, it is not claimed that the earth positively will come to a standstill in this year 5231 A. D., but simply that is is being subject ed to brake that may stop it by that time. Probably) most scientists would argue that magnetic storms will be less violent in future; that other forces will intervene, and tha the stopping of the earth will be postponed a great many years be yond the date named. But all scientists will acquiesce ir the statement that the earth is slowing: down and sooner or later will come to a stop. When the earth stops turning th side toward the sun will become overheated, and water will dry up and blistering deserts will cover the surface. Near the edge of the sUin lit side there will be a temperate zone, where the sun will always be one hour high or thereabouts, re maining at the same height above the horizon year in and year out Every hour will be like 6 o'clock in the morning of a summer day.To this delightful region the worlds population will flock. A little removed from the hot area will be the twilight one, also quite habitable, with the sun unending at the horizon- Though life in the torrid or hot zone will be insupportable, as a rule, yet on the outer edges, where the sun is but two or three hours high, people may live in a temper ate of 100 to 140- degrees by means of various cooling contrivancea. On the dark, cold side of the earth all the water will be frozen solid even mercury will freeze in that awful chill. It will be impossi ble-for human beings to penetrate more than three or four hundred miles into the dark and frigid zone, which will be far more inaccessible than are now the polar wastes. During the period when the earth's days are lengthening perceptibly great social changes must come a bout, due to the difference in hours When the days get to be 40 hours long it will surely be necessary to arrange for a period of rest and sleep in the middle of the day. Think of a long day in which it gets, light only at 10 o'clock and we arise and go to work at 12; at 16 o'clock we are allowed, a re cess and lunch. At 20 o'clock we stop and dine and take a nap. At 22 we go to work again; recess at 24, with more lunch. At 29 we quit and this is the rush hour for street cars- At 30 o'clock we are home for our night dinner; at 32 we go to the theater. At 36 o'clock the people begin to go to bed, and by 38 or 39 o'clock the last night prow ler should be tucked in his little couch. As the days lengthen until they exceed a week's duration all sorts of comlications will ensue,and the days, weeks and months will be come hopelessly mixed. Scientists' a gree that the lunar month will lengthen as the day lengthens,though the day will increase the more rap Idly. According to Prof. Ernest tV. Brown of Haverford College, who has given, special attention to this subject there will come a time our t when the month and the day will both be of the same duration or a- bout 1,300 hours, or 55 of present days!. As the earth's days get longer and lonegr, the time will come when a day is a yearlong. Then there will be no more days and nights, no weeks and no months.Tht earth always will have one side 'to the sun and the moon will have on side to the earth, and the two will turn around the su'n once a year as if fixed on arigid bar. There will be no more seasons of the earth no spring, summer, autumn or win ter. The weather of the several sea sons can be experienced only by tra- eling to and fro between the hot ai cold zones, for one half will be per petually hot, dry and parched; the other will be like the polar regions during the long Arctic night. It is clear that property values in more than half the planet will be wied out. Cities and farms through out the dark half of the globe will be buried under perpetual glacier Correspondingly values will rise enor mously in real estate on the inhab ited strip that lies jusfc on the cool edge of the hot hemisphere. No one knows, not can calculate at this time, what part of the earth will be included in this habitable strip or belt any more than they can predict which half of the world will be hot and which cold. All that science can forecast is! that men will mii-gate to that rim. " "I' Am. Well" writes Mrs. L. R. Barker, of Bud, Ky., "and can do all my housework. For years I suffered with such pains, 1 could scarcely stand on my feet After three different doctors had failed to help me, I gave Cardui a trial. Now, I feel like a new woman."
