The planet mercury.
Like VcniM end For Like Cmn.r, it I.
Now a DOad World.
Mercury is a body devoid, practical
ly if not absolutely, of air, of water
and of vegetation. Consequently It is
Incapable of supporting any of those
higher organisms which we know as
living beiugs. Its surface is a vast
desert. It is rough tjatber than smooth.
Whether this roughness be due tft
mountains proper or to craters we are
too far away from it to he able
yet to sny. The latter is the more
probable. Over the greater part of Its
surface change either diurnal or sea
sonal Is unknown. Three-eighths of its
surface Is steeped In perpetual glare,
three-eighths .shrouded In perpetual
doom, while the remaining quarter
slowly torus between the two. The
planet Itself, ns a world. Is dead.
Interesting as Mercury thus proves
to be. tile interest as regards the plan
et itself Is of a ralher corpselike char
acter. I.ess deterrent perhaps is the
Interest It possesses as a part of the
life history of the solar system, for
tidal friction, the closing act In the
cosmic drama: has brought It where It
is. The machine has ran down.
Whether It ever supported life upon its
Burfaco or not, the power to do so has
now forever passed away. Like Venus
and for like cause, it Is now a dead
world. And It was the first thus to
reach the end of its evolutionary ca
reer, earlier to do so than Venus, in
asmuch as tidal action waB very much
greater upon it than on Venus and con
sequently produced its effect more
quickly. Mercury has long been dead.
How long, measured by centuries, we
cannot sny, but practically for a very
long time. Venus must have become,
so comparatively recently. Both, how
ever. now have finished their course
and have in a most literal sense enter
ed Into their rest.

LEE SPANGLER’S
Predictions of the

He Predicts/ In December Last, Some
Why Life Preservers Are Useless.
"On my ship," RnUl the captain, "the
stewards, the first day out, go to. every

" 'Excuse me, air, but do you know
how to manipulate a life preserver?'

“ "Thou, sir, If you please,’ says the

Come to Pass, Including the Great
Earthquakes—Other Prophesies,
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius
and the great disaster which has be
fallen San Francisco and other nearby
cities of California was predicted In
December of last year by Lee Spang
ler, a Pennsylvanian, the "last of the
prophets.”
Spangler has ior some years teen
making forecasts of the principal
events that would happen each year,
and he has with singular regularity
been correct. Spangler first attracted
attention as a prophet by announcing
that, according to Scripture, certain
passages of which he quoted, he was
ordained by God to be the last of the
prophets and predict the certain end
of the world, the date: of which cata
clysm he haB been postponing for
some time, and which, according to his
latest prediction, is to happen for a
certainty in 1908.
When Spangler prophesied the death
of Queen Victoria and the assassina
tion of President McKinley, the defeat
of the Russians by the Japanese, the
Chicago theatre fire, the North river
steamboat disaster, the election of
Theodore Roosevelt as president of
the United States, and other events
long prior "to their occurrence, he
gained a following, and many are not
surprised at the destruction of San
Francisco, after he had predicted de
structive earthquakes In California.
Here are a few of the events which
Be predicted would occur in 1906, and
as It will be seen, some of them have
already come to pass:
The dissolution of Russia.
The overthrow of Turkey.
The assassination of .the Czar
Russia.
The assassination of the Sultan of
Turkey.
The prevention of three wars by
President Roosevelt.
A protracted race war in the South,
Destructive spring floods In the
United States.
A destructive eruption of Mount
Vesuvius.
The activity of Mount Pelee and
Popocatepetl.
Volcanic eruptions in ali parts of the
world.
The eruption of many volcanoes
now supposed to be extinct.
Great loss of life at sea by storms.
Destruction of two Western cities
by cyclones.
Earthquakes In all parts of the
world.
Destructive earthquakes in Califor
nia and the Philippines.
Rebellion In Spain.
Great disturbances all over Europe.
He said further that the summer of
1906 will be hot and sultry throughout
the temperate zone, with a high death
rate.
That Pennsylvania would have an
administration of the people and that
discoveries of corruption would be
made which would drive some of the
guilty to suicide.
That God will wreak terrible ven
geance upon the Russians for massa
cre of the Jews.

pressed and grateful.
"The life preservers, In a shipwreck,
would be of little use, for nearly all
the passengers would be unable to get
Into them. There, should be a maritime
law requiring a passengers’ drill with
the preservers every voyhgo, so that
each passenger in u catastrophe’ would
know how to snve himself with the
means placed at his disposal. As
things are now, there might as well be
no life preservers on ships.”—Philadel
phia Bulletin.
The CoAtlleat Canes.
"A single joint malncea cane will al
ways fetch from $400 to $500,” said the
dealer. '
“Why?”
"Because mnlaeca hardly ever grows
with enough spneo between the joints
to make a single joint stick. Usually
the joints are not more than a foot
apart. When you find in Singapore—
that is where malncea comes from—a
piece of mnlaeca with the joints five
feet apart, so Glut it. will make a single
joint stick, come to me, and I will,give'
you $500 for It. Malacca sticks with
the joints three feet apart are worth
$30 or .$40. Snnkewood sticks, if they
are marked well—snakewood comes
from British Guiana—are worth $40 or
$50. A yellow ebony stick —ebony
comes to us In logs from Ceylon and
Mauritius—is worth $20 or $25. Warig-
hee, from Cblna, makes an excellent
and costly stick. A perfect wangbee
Is worth $20.”—St. Louis Globe-Demo

his condition for the simple reason that
If he oarnB more mpre is taken away
from him by the rulers of the land.
Tbe general condition of tbe laboring
classes, however, does hot seem to be
so bad as might be supposed. In a
country so vast (550,000 square miles)
and so thinly populated (5,500,000 in
all) a smoll and sufficient supply of
food is easily raised, especially wltb
such prolific soil at the command of
the poorest. At Shiraz there are two
harvests in tbe year. The self), sowed
in summer and renped In autumn, con
sists of rice, cotton, Indian corn and
garden produce, and the tchatol is
sowed In October and November and
reaped from May till July. This is ex- j
cluslvely wheat and barley. Here also 1
grow grapes, oranges and pomegran- •
ntes, for which latter Shiraz Is famed.

You have often noticed the many

from wood burning in the grate. It Is
ten to one, however, that you never
have thought to figure on the cause pf
the variegated hues presented by
flames. To bring tbe matter quickly
to the point, we will say that the many
colors are tbe result of combustion ,
among tbe different elements of tbe
wood. Tbe light blue Is from tbe hy

the violet Is from the manganese, tt|e
red from the magnesia and the yellow
from the soda, which pre constituent
