Almost a Nuisance
: Once in a while Union county has a visitor who lives in the
stars or dwells in the house of scientific research, and to be truth
ful these chaps are almost as much of a nuisance as the fellow who
continually brings in statistics on some ceKuin subject. Statistic
mills me plentiful. You can jjet statistics for anything., Whether
they are correct is of little consequence, justso they are statistics.
Of late we have heard considerable discussion about the good
old summer Uh givinir way in a couple of years to icicles and snow
banks in July. Thes? assertions come from a fellow who has gone
dippy studying things which other people never think of, hence lit
becomes an "authority" right away.
Subsidence of the continents beneath the seas aiid the drowning
of the races is the latest scientific guess as to the end of the world
- -some 25,000,1)00 year hence. For this last, much thanks. '
There still renuiins to man plenty of lime in which to enjoy
hiroscii and to" gut something out of life. ' In the meantime, he w ill
doubtless be treated to many variations of theory i3 to the end-all
Only a few weeks ago scientists solemnly gave warning of an end
ing by drought, with seas receding and hind becoming too arid and
. torrid for existence.
L'etween being dried out and being drowned there may not bt
much choice, but there is wide range of difference. In betweer
there is room for innumerable variations, and beyond there is roorr
for even wilder fancies and guesses. It seems that scientific alarm
ists can not long remain silent on this subject. Very often prophet;
rise up to forecast the end. Many have been so rash as to cas!
their disaster for an early date, and accordingly have been dis
credited by failure.
Later prophets have generally adopted the safer rule of fixing
tfic end-all at some remote time. Now that this warning has beoi
issued, the woild public may get set for the next guess, which wil
not be long in coming if scientific alarmists keep up theii
prophetic gait.

- The man who can create u machine or an agency of any ki;:d to

t lie did not dti this in a day, but he worked on the idea for i
number of years, finally getting out what seems now to be a per
footed machine, but aa a matter of fact it is only the crude idei

them,-just as the men who u.se linotypes have perfected th:.i
machine.

After that first trip, which still is remembered vividly by
many now living, Pullman's idea was a source of merriment.

alpng with much burning of midnight oil before the crude idea i:
evolved into polished near-perfection.

it with, and unless you know just what you

how many of the best trout take a look at your
