DANGER AHEAD. .-Professar Kirkwood, who
is one of our most wide-4wake astronomers,
makes au interesting announcement in regard
to one of the asteroids. 1t is we'll known that
the orbits 10 which these little planets move
are very elliptical. One of them, Hthra by
name revolves 10 an orbit so eccentric that it
has recently been discovered that wheo it
reaches its nearest approach to the sun it is
not very far removed from that point OF the
orbit of Mars that is farthest from the sun.
Therefore, time must come when Ethra and
Mars will chance to be near these points at the
same time. It would be difficult to prophesy
the result of such neighborly encounter upon
the planets themselves, or upon the equi-
brium of the solar system. But astronomers
have not yet worked out the problem as to
when the juxtaposition will take place, and we
may safely possess our souls in quietness, while
they are settling their mathematical calcula-
tions or correcting their tables and making al
lowances for all kinds of perturbations. If the
planetary party should come off in our day and
generation, We shall have an astronomical
event to anticipate that will throw the transit
of Venus into the shade, aad be more as
founding than the presence of dozon unex-
pected comets with tails reaching from the ho-
rizon to the zenith.
