SIN COOLING OFF.
SAYS SCIENTIST
It will be warm this summer, not
withstanding the fact that the sun is
steadily cooling off. The great heat
radiator is already old and past its
prime of life. In 15,000,000 years it
will be stone cold—dead, in fact. So
declared Joseph McCabe, of London,
in a lecture before the Pittsburg Acad
emy of Science and Art.
He also told his audience that any
unusual disturbances throwing the
earth off its balance would bean obliv
ion for all living things that inhabit it.
If the earth should devaite in the
slightest degree from its accustomed
pathway as it revolves around the
sun, it would be “all up” with this
world, he said. ^
He quieted the audience, however,
by declaring that if such a calamity
should occur, all will have plenty of
time to settle their affairs in America,
but their affairs in some other coun
tries might have to be canceled, ht
ventured to predict.
