This disclosure of the secret of matter, in the dis-keclion and explosion of the atom, has revealed, to hwn tlvit his material domain is not only insecure, ITwi tha: it is evanescent. Science has confirmed the teaching of Christianity, that "things that are seen jjfe temporal," and that, as Prospero declared, "The great ilobe itself, yea, all which inherit, shall dissolve like this insubstantial pageant faded, ieave not a rack behind." Astronomers tell us that the solar system was f originally a fiery nebula, and that our earth and the rest of the plar.tts were formed in the process of cooling They ;:ay that the interior of the earth .is still in a compressed molten state, and that we are living on comparatively thin, cooled-off erust w hich i liable to collapse or be blown up as it contracts. That has happened many times before. The story .of those convulsions is written clearly in the rocks; the mountain ranges are the monuments of gigantic upheavals, while our active volcanoes today tell of interior fires of which they are the chimneys ' V, e & t I r , - Mliu UUUll ,iii " mil for a lot.

Sir James Jeans claimed that at the centres of most of the stsirs "the electrons must have broken loose from their parent atoms, leaving the stellar matter pulverized." 'That is what happens, some declare, when an atomic bomb explodes. Some months ago a French scientist warned of the possibility of setting up a chain of atomic detonations that would blow up the whole , earth. That was laughed off, but it reminds one of '. the.' Scriptural prediction that "the elements will ! burn with fervent heat," which is a good description ' of the effect of the explosion of an automic bomb. I The awful picture painted by Albrecht Durer of "The Last Day" may not have been far-fetched : after all. It was very popular with the people of j the nineteenth century, and steel engravings of the : picture appeared on the parlor wal's in those days. It would seem that the Victorians were not afraid -of contemplating the end of the world. Many of them actually anticipated it and had dates for it? occurrence.
