Thousands of people believe in an early end of the world. Thousands iof people have been expecting the end of the World for years, and have been disappointed. One wellâ€"known prophet has been fortelling the end of the world for thirty years or :more. It is an awkward thing to let the lease of your business premâ€" ises fall in anticipation of the end of the world, says London 'Answers. The latest date fixed by the proâ€" phet for the last day of this age is either Thursday, May 2nd, 1929, or April 9th 1931â€"he is still uncertain which. Butbetwecn now and then twentyâ€"two kingdoms or states are to be reduced to the ten of Caesar’s original Roman Empire. Before this ‘continental transformation is l comâ€" pleted there are to be wars Rand earthquakes, troubles, commotions, families, and pestilences. TREATS IN STORE. In the later months of the end, the earth is to be visited with plagues of noisome sores, the seaâ€"as well as the rivers and fountainsâ€"is to turn to blood, the sun is to scorch men for fifteen days, there is to be total darkness for three days, and then earthquakes are to shake down all cities. At one time, comets used to be the grand terror. Even educated people, including astronomers, supposed that one day a comet would bump against the earth, and either set it ablaze or shatter it into space. 'In the middle of the nineteenth century the greatest alarm was manifested all over Europe lest the comet which then appeared should crash the world to atoms. Men and women and chilâ€" dren came out of their houses and watched with white, drawn faces the long, luminous tail sweeping through the sky. In due course the comet disappeared from view, and nothing happened. London has had several endâ€"ofâ€"theâ€" world panics. The famous Whiston once predicted that the world would come to an end on a certain 13th of October. The destruction of the mighty city of London, it was said, was to mark the beginning of the end. The inhabitants were seized with terror. Blanched faces were at every door. People thronng the Streets terrorâ€"stricken. They rushed to Islington, to Iâ€"lampstead, and con- gregated in all the adjoining fields to watch and wait, fearing the worst hoping for the best. IIour after hour they waited till the dawn of another day Then they felt safe, and, tired and weary, went home, leaving the world intact. THE BELL THAT TOLD. On another occasion a panic was caused in London by two earthquake Shocks. The first shock occurred on the 8th of February, and down went sevoral big chimneys in Poplar and Limehouse. On the 8th of March |another shock occurred, but was conâ€" fined mostly to the districts of High- gate and Hampstead. The coincidence of the one shock following the other at an interval of a month exactly excited widespread comment. Then it was that a crazy-headed soldier named Bell rushed through the streets proclaiming that the next earthquake, which Would occur on the corresponding day of April, would destroy London as a preliminary to the end of the world. People began to brood on the com- ing calamity. From brooding they frightened themselves into wild panic. Thousands made hasty preâ€" parations for departing from London before the great catastrophe occurrâ€" ed. Vast numbers crowded into the villages for miles round as the day of doom crept nearer. Fugitives of all classes poured into Harrow, Highgate, Blackheath, Is'1ington, and I-Iampstead, paying extortionatc rates for lodgings. The area of the panic quickly exâ€" tended. Rich people who had laughed began to tremble. Beginning to tremble, they concerted measures for their safety. Water seemed to offer greater protection than land. They rushed to the Thames, and crowded on the merchant ships there, waiting for Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s to crash down. The eventful day came and passed, leav- ing London in its normal state. Then there was a great rush home. Bell died in a lunatic asy- Some Years afterwards there was a V‘ictuals? lpanic on a smaller scale at Leeds, in Yorkshire. This happened because a hen laid an egg. It was not an orâ€" dinary egg. It was an egg inscribed with certain writing announcing the end of the world. The fame of that egg was noiset abroad, and, strange .to relate, that hen commenced to lay other eggs inseribed in a similar way. A LYING LAY. The place of miracle was soon beâ€" sieged b3, crowds of people anxious (“d the meeting to examine the amazing products of the hen. They came away paleâ€"faced and distressful, believing that the end of all things was about to hopâ€" pen. Then it occurred to some persons of inquiring, scientific mind that it would be an excellent thing to ex- amine the eggs in a critical spirit. This they did, only to discover that the eggs had been written on with corrosive ink, and brutally forced back into the hen’s body. The panic ceased from that day. l l l l Ceylon ea to ake a satisfact in END 0’1:_TllE warm at Takes Lass ' ‘D . ry infusion than any other tea or: the continent. BLACK; MlXED or GREEN.

One of the most extraordinary inâ€" cidents in connection with this panic was that the Prior of St. Bartholo- mew’s closed the priory, loaded sev- eral boats with stocks of provisions, and had them conveyed in waggons to a building he erected, regardless of cost, at HarroWâ€"onâ€"theâ€"Hill. Then he and all the monks, together with a number of expert rowers, departed to his Well-provisioned ark, prepared for all emergencies. ' The day of the predicted devasta- tion arrived. The river flowed on, uncaring and unconscious of the comâ€" motion it was creating in its course. Then darkness closed on the fateful seene, with London still dry, with the ten thousand houses left stand- ing, with the Prior of St. Bartholoâ€" inew’s still safe and sound, with the thousands on the heights wishing they had never left "home. _____.,_+_.._..

IN A CREVAS SE. .â€"_. Experience of Explorer. ‘ An no pitfall more to ‘be the mountain-climber; than a glacial crevasse, especially if {it is masked by snow. 'A plunge into tone is almost certain death. In the Isummer of 1897, a. party of English- men exploring the Canadian Rockies set to climb Mount Gordon, a peak imore than ten thousand feet high, which had never been scaled. On the iway, near the summit, a crevasse inâ€" terposed between their party and their goal. OVer it lay a bridge of snow, and on this all crossed in isafety except the last, Mr. Thomp- i‘son. The bridge gave way with him, land he disappeared from view far [down in the icy mass, where he could be heard calling for help. Mr. 001- ilie, the geographer of the party, be- !ing the lightest of the number, was. ’sent dmvn into the crack on a rope to attempt a rescue. In this book, “Climbs and Explorations,” he de- scribes the experience. I put my foot into a loop of the rope, was pushed over the edge of the abyss and swung in midâ€"air. I lwas then lowered into the gaping hole. On the side the ice fell sheer, 0n the other it was rather undercut, but again bulged outward about eighteen feet below the surface, mak- ing the crevasse at that point not much more than two feet wide. Then it widened again and went into dim l twilight. When I descended sixty feet, al- most the entire length of the rope, I became tightly wedged between the walls, absolutely incapable of moving my body. My feet were close to- iThompson’s, but his head was farth- er away and three feet lower than his heels. Being face downward and cov- ered with fallen snow, he could not. see me. I shouted for another rope, and when it came dOWn I managed to hand. Then with some difficulty, |putt-ing my hands above my head, I imanaged to tie a noose in the rope, land with it lassoed that ppor, pathe- tic arm, which was only part of {Thompson that could be seen. Then icame the tug of war. If he refused to move I could do no more for him. Moreover, I was ,afraid that at any moment he might ifaint. If that had occurred I do not believe he could have been got out at all, for the force of the fall had ljammed him farther down than it was possible to follow. Slowly the rope tightened as it Was gpulled by those above. I could hear my heart thumping in the ghastly stillness of the place, but at last Thompson began to shift and after gsome time he was pulled into an up- ‘right position. ' To get a. rope round his body was of course hopeless. Partly by wrigâ€" gling and pulling on my own rope .I so shifted that by straining one arm over my head I could get my ltwo hands together, and then I tied {the tightest think of round his arm, just above the elbow. A shout to the rest of the party and Thompson went rapid- ly upward. dragged by one arm, till the disappeared round the ice-bulge forty feet above me. I was full of dread lest the rope slip and he come thundering down atop of me, but the rope held, and she got safely out. I followed. I Most marvelously, no bones had [been broken in his fall. His pack {must have saved him. Perhaps it lacted as a brake in the first narrows. But he emphatically gave it as his opinion that whatever scientific exâ€" ploration might be necessary on the summit of the Rockies, inVCstigations made alone, sixty feet below the sur- face of the ice, in an inverted posiâ€" tion, were cxtrcmly dangerous and unworthy of record. -. ly-...“ QUICK ADVICE.
