PLEASANT
PROSPECT
Astronomers Say the Moon
Will Fall.
It Is not Uktly to happen Jutt yet
awhile, but many astronomers are
prepared for th- fall of the moon at
a distant data.
It la probable that eventually the
' moon will 1m- drawn matt within the ■
spher* of attraction of the earth. At
present she Is just far ■nniiich to
be kept In tow, M to speak- and to
whirl round and round us at well
as spin herself.
Hill when the Inevitable time ar
rives, and she Is drawn far Into the
attraction radius, she la likely to be
pulltd right down and fall onto th«
earth, for her attraction is, of
course, much weakrr than ours.. fth«
la In more danger of this at on* Uin"»
than another, and th- danger Is In
creasing gradually but surely. It
may be IO.«OS or l'..ow> years y«t, but
when she does fall there wilt cer
tainly b* a trrrlnc bump, and the
whole system of th* rarlh will be
badly jolted.
It Is calculated that, taking th.
most dangerous epoch of the year In
to consideration and her consequent
position, sh* Is likely to fall on the
northeastern part of Europe, and j
will entirely wipe Itussla and Ger
; many from the map. Tidal waves
and ail sorts of horrors will occur,
i and th* fallen moon will probably <
break up. The entire climate of the
. world will be altered, and Kngland
will probably be more or lesa Im
l>roved, according to th.. scientists.
Hero of the Regiment.
A battsllon of volunteer Infsntry •
was drilling In a Reid when a regl
mrnt of regular cavalry rode by.
Th» colonel of cavalry halt- I his
men to watch th* volunteera. and
getting Into conversation with th*
olone |..f the Utter, he crittdted the
drill unfavorably, especially their
want of steadiness.
The volunteer colonel was a fierce
fellow and he cried hotly:
'My men are as rtevijr as any
regiment of regulars."
"I do not think so." retorted the.
cavalry man: "and if you'll draw
up your men In order to receive cav
alry I'll pror* It."
The challenge was accepted, and
the csvalrymen charged down upon
the eltlten soldiers, who awaited i
Hi. m In the usual way.
Now, regular cavalry cavalry can
charge to within a few feet and even
inches, of infantry at full gsllop
and then, at th* word of command,
pull up short.
The. volunteers, however, lost thi'lr
nerve when they saw Ua» huge;
horses thundering down upon them,
and showing no sign of • topping
when a few yards off. They lied,
all hut one man. who remained on
his knee, bayonet leveled.
Ills colonel, enragM at the oth-;
l era' flight, approached the hero, and.
tapping him "n the back, said:
j M arc th* only brave man In
the regiment. You scorned to run."
"Yes. sir." gaspe-1 the hero. "I had
my fut stuck i" a hole, or I should
not have waited."
A Xew r»«lKa4 coal miner was
