To my horror, there was no report when the hammer fell. The next moment the panther. with an angry roar, sprang upon me.

After describing the incidents of the hunt up to the time when the beast broke cover, he says: "'I endeavored, by giving him my knee in the stomach. to make him let go. Those who have ever kicked a cat can imagine what little eflect this had. It was more like us- ing one’s knee to a frotball than anything else.

I remember, when Icame to, raising my head from the gronnd, leaning my head against the tree, and smiling with a. certain feeling of grim satisfaction, when my eye caught the re- treating form of the constable and the pur- suing panther down the hill, and I thought the policeman's turn had come. But Tot died, and yesterday they buried her.

The sun owing to his greater mass is still a. fiery globe not yet cooled down so as to have a. solid crust. But our mom being a body cf small mass only about one-eightleth of the earth’s mass, is supposed to have had time to cool down to a. Bolld globe all the Way from its surface to its centre. Its in- ternal heat is supposed to have been all red- iated away into tue surrounding cold space. Now the hot interior mass of the earth can, of course, contain no water. and little or none of the tree gases that constitute an at- mOsphere. They would be boiled off, ex- panded and driven to the surface where are {Ound now the great bulk of our Oceans and our atmosphere. But when the earth shall have parted with all its internal heat, hav- ing thrown it into the surrounding cold specs as the mom has done, then the cold, solid but porous mass within its present crust, which is now incapable of ab~orbing water or air, on account of the presv nt high temperature, will begin to drink up the water and air just as the parched soil alter a summer’s drought drinks up the rain, and the ground is dry in a few minutes alttr the shower. But you may well ask, could the solid porous mass within the present crust of the earth thus drink up the whole of the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and cause all the waters of our globe to disappear? Let us examine this more close- ly.__ W When the Earth Drinks up Her Oceans While the interior of the earth remains as hot as it is at present it is no more possible lor the water and air of our globe to pene- trate :3 these fiery regions than it is tor a drop of water to remain on a hot stone. But the earth is losing it heat day by day and year by year, radiating it out into the surround- ing cold rpace. I know it has been comput~ ed that the earth receives tram the sun an- nually just as much heat as it loses in a year by radiation into the surrounding space. Grant that it may be so for the present and for many thousand years to come. But the trouble is that the sun himself is cooling off and, therefore will not be always able to send us as much heat as he does at present. The time will, therefore, surely come when we shall lose mare heat by radiation into space than the sun will be able to return to us. Then it Will only be a question of time for the earth gradually to cool down, as the moon has already done, from surface to cen- tre. When that time comes will not the dry but solid and porous core of our globe drink up the oceans and atmosphere,causing them to disappear, not into large cavernous pock ets but into the minute pores of its sub- stance! The proposition appears to be established by strict calculation that the interior of the earth when cold Will be able to absorb mora than four times. poasibly more than thirty times, the amount of water now on its sur- face. Now. it seems certain that in the manner first explained the earth will con- tinue to lose both its superficial water and its atmosphere. The earth, the other planefs, and even the sun himself, are regarded as doomed at same future day to the same fate. Melancholy fate, some will say. But why complain of the general law of, nature? Everything in naturehas its morning of life, it: high meridian of glory and strangth, its ewnmg decline and its midnight of black- [was and death. In the (me of a worldâ€"is that the last term of a series? The World’s Telegraphs. Canadahas been represented to be a “ slow-going" country. We don't believe it. In the matter of great internal im- provements, she stands first among the countries of the world, regard being bad to population. In railways she has gone ahead with wonderful rapidity, and in canals sheis not wanting, and in tele- graphic lines she is as prominent asshe is in railways. A recent report of the Pub- lic Works Department points out that our telegraphic accomodation is greater than either that of the United States or any European country. The number of offices in Canada is 2,259, or 1 to 1,914 of population, as based on the census of 1881. In the Scientific American it is stated that the number of American tele- graph offices in 1882 was 12,917, and the number of telegrams forwarded during the year was 40,581,177. The number of telegraph offices in Great Britain and Ire- land in 1882 was 5,747, the number of telegrams forwarded being, 32,965,029. Germany has 10,803 offices, the number of telegrams forwarded being 26,260,124. Russia had 2,819, the number of tele- grams forwarded being 9,800,201. Bel- gium had 835 offices, the number of tele~ grams forwarded being 4,066,843. Spain had 647 oiiices, the number of telegrams forwarded being 2,830,186. British In- dia had 1,025 offices the number of tele- grams forwarded being 2,032,605. Swit- zerland had 1,160 oflices, Italy 2,690,and Austria 2,096. The number of telegrams forwarded in the last threecountries men- tioned was 3,040,182, 7,026,387, and 0,620,203, respectively. It will be seen by these figures, having regard to popula- tion, that Canada stands A No. 1, while she stands only third or fourth among the nations in the absolute magnitude of her commerce. To say, under these cir- cumstances, that Canada is a “slow-go- ing" country, is to pronounce upon her an unmitigated libel.â€"[Brantford Tele- gram, Oct. 31.
