The San Francisco Chronicle publishes
the following prediction made by = local
philosopher, w. Frank Stewart:
During the past eighteen months the earth
ind other planets completed the most re-
,narkable conjunction which has ever oc-
CURED and on the night of tho 11tl of last
November we again witnessed the grand
thirty four-ycar stsr-sw:rm. Every inteIli-
gent person Is aware that for = period of
nearly two years our globe has been subject.
ri to violent per,urbations, such as have not
before occurred for mGny centuries. These
perturbations have been generally over the
surface OF the planet. Storms, typhoons,
volcanoes. earthquakes, intense cold, and
scorching winds have alternately spent their
fury upon the denizens of every hemisphere.
BY careful observation, astronomers have
found that in period of about eleven years
the sun turns towards us . remarkably spot
ted disc, and it has also been observed that
any sudden changes of light and shade upon
the sun during this spotted peris,d instantly
affect terrestrial magnets. 1t IL well known
that in the autumn of 1850 one Of these spot
pcrturbstions was Immediately followed by
one of the most brilliant Aurora Borealis
ever witnessed In the northern hemisphere !;
and still more surprising the magnetic effect
Of the aurora was % great that messages
were freely sent over telegrapbic lines with
out connection with the batteries, and BY
means Of the auroral current alone. Many
additional facts, showing the connection Of
celestial with Terrestrial magnetism, might
be given, but have neither the time nor
