Nothing more ominous oould well be found than the proof afforded by recent selenttfio tx ploratlou of Central Asia that a large part of the greatest of the continents, tbe one which la be.ieved to oars eon tolned the Garden of Elan and the eradleof mankind, baa bean turned into a waterlsae desert within the his toric period! r tha CMpiao Sii and nortb of Che real ranges of the mountalne, within a fair yean past the remains of large cities bare been found, oorared with drift ing aandaand ohoklng dull which the dry winds whirl up la immense amotb- SKlng oloude.

Oantral Asia la a lofty plateau, and tt to on thaaa higher levels of the earth that the dlaappearanoe of the water haa every where flrac, been mani fested. All the Arlan deeerte seem to be advancing tbelr sandy frontiers on every aide, and invading the sur rounding lande which B ill retain, though in diminished measure, their Supply of life giving water. Toe green harden ere everywhere reoeling be fore tbe remorselese yellow wastes. The continent of Afrlea has lone been undergoing a el collar drying pro- ease. There are In the mMM of tbe Desert of Sahara plain evidences of the former exlatanoe of Inhabited oaeas that were ones green end flour tailing with trees end smaller vegeta tlon, but which are now swept by sand storms and destltuteiof tbe least drop of water. One of the things- that ■set powerfully Impressed the mlnda of tbe members of the British Aseo etotton tor the Advancement of Sol- anee during their visit to Africa last ■at, wee the lack of water over areas of that continent and the universal neeeulty of Irrtgali m to kpip alive the lands that are vet in a habitable condition. The president Of tbe Engineering Section of tbe As sociation declared that It la a general eondltom of ^African agriculture that tbe needed water must tie provided oy human Intervention. Left to nature, many of tbe now Inhabited parte 01 Africa would quickly be tamed Into llfslem deeerte. But the struggle can only be aealntaned successfully as long as tbe present supply ef water ttr** 1 * of being turned Into Irrigat ing ditches remains undlmtnisbed, aid the example of the fate that a part of Oantral Asia baa suffered Indibatee that tbe time Is ears to oome when the supply will be insufficient.

Lst ibis process go on long enough and the earth will possess as more fresh water, except eooh as poars use lessly end destructlvtl/ dews la the form of cloud bunte end delagtng rains. Then It will net be possible for the greet populations of the globe to find sustenance by bogging tbe seashores. And In the end sees them- ■wives will shrink and ultimately dis appear. - But what, It may be asked, beeemee of the water that has disappeared when lakee and riven dry np? Much of It elnke Into tbe eartn'e ersst. The globe Is hot within and to gradually cooling. Astba Interior eools ore- vices and cavities ere formed, and the turf see water, seeking the lowest level under the force of fravltsMon, pene trates to great depths. Underneath South Dakota and some of the Rocky Mountain region, it has been demonstrated shat there is an lm- mens ' sheet of underground water gradually making lie way through the sandstones towards the Mtostorippl and the Gulf. At present some of this water oan be reached and brought to the surface by -means of artesian wells, but ae the globe continues to oocl the water will sink lower end lower, until it gets too deep to be brought to the surface by human oon trtvanoe. - •And not only doea tbe water of tbe earth tend to disappear by sinking into the o uit eud forming deep reser voirs and vast sheets there, hot much of it probably enters into enemloal combination with the oooling rooks. In the oaae of the moon, where tbe oooling process, owing to the compar atively smell dimensions of the la oar globe, has gone on much more rapidly than In tbe earth, U la believed by many that the water formerly exist ing on the eurfaoe ee lakes, eeee and rivers, haa been completely absorbed py oxidation, tbe oxygen of tbe water combining with the metalliferous in terior rooks. And the ultimate fate of the waters of the earth may be similar. . Id fact, tbe whole history of our planet, as geology has diaoloeed It, is such ee to lead to tbe oonoloelon that Us surface must eventually become e dry and barren waste. At first e mol ten globe, tbe earth oooled down un til it bad a oruit of solid rook. On this cruet, ee It In turn oooled off, tbe vapors of the atmosphere da»c nded and condensed into oceans. Some neve thought that In Ibe beginning the until- earth wasomred with we ter. BUtoas the oooling of tbe globe oon tinned much of the water consti tuting toe primeval ooean was ab i <rbed Into the deepening orost. Then continents made their appearance and then gradually beoame more exteo sive. But In the earliest period at which geology has ventured to draw a chart of tbe earth, we see that the proportion of land to water was very into A OS- South America, and even of our own Western eonn great Salt Lake la Utah to like a poodle drying an eve much leas then It is today. Gradually the deaeioation has pro oeeded, and apparently It to destined to go until even tbe Atlantic and the Peoifla have disappeared, end all the waters of the earth are withdrawn into its Interior or destroyed by ehem- loti dissociation of tbe liquid and the recombination of lie elements with solid matter. Long before that stage is attained, however, dll animal and vegetable life will have disappeared from tbe lende, for they cannot sur vive the withdrawal of the fresh wa ter upon whloh tbelr exlstenee de pends. The aalt oceans, becoming ever more salt ae their volum shrinks, may at last reach a point of ooooen- bration where even marine life will be destroyed. Thus tbe last picture of tbe earth that geology oan form by glancing Into tbe future shows It stripped of its inhabitants snl of all forme of lit'-, and deprived of water and perhaps also of atmospltere—a bare wreck of a planet, drifting in tbe etberal ooean of Immensity.
