The. universe may have a cyclical pmcess without a beginning of an end. One has to speak vaguely, hut it is a thing wliereior to wateli. The earth has a recuperative power which will make it passible for it to endure lor all time.” FRENCH POLITICS. PARIS, -Nov. 0. The expected has happened, -M. Poincare accepts President.
