There Is a general and widespread notion, which the curious Investigator will find scattered throughout both medieval and modern literature, that the world will last 0,0(10 years from the date of Its creatlou. An Inscrip tion in one of Martin Luther's books reads as follows: "Elijah, the prophet, said that the world had existed 2.000 years before the law was given (from Adam to Mosesi. would exist 2.000 years under the Mosaic law (from Moses to Christ i and 2.000 years under the Christian dispensation, and then It would be burned." In the Etrurian account of the crea tlou (by Suldnsi there is a similar tra dition, "The Creator spent 0,000 years in creation, and 6.000 more are allotted to the earth." In the black letter edition of Foxe's "Acta and Monuments" (1032) there is a whole sermon given with the 0,000 year limit of the earth's duration as a text Some writers contend that the "six days" referred to iu Holy Writ really mean 0.000 years and that the "sev enth day" Is a type of the coming mil lennium, or "Sabbath of a thousand years." The psalmist says. "For a thousand years are in thy sight a yes terday" (I'salm xc,4. See also II I'eter 111. S). Chines Nomads. In the plains on the western borders of the Chinese empire, in the heart of Asia, there live roaming tribes who sel dom visit towns except for trade. They dwell In tents made of felt and usually low. small and conical. The wooden door frame is no higher than half a window frame In English houses, but the tent, although not equal to the wants of a large family, is snug and comfortable in summer, but cold In winter.-Loudon Graphic Made-to-Measure Clothing New Fall Styles.
