LIFE OF THE WORLD.
Tradition That It Will Last Only Six
Thousand Years.
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
