A., DANGER AHEAD-Professor Kirkwoo Il
who is one Of our most wiie-awake aStrono-
mers, makes an interesting announcement
| in regard 10 one of the asteroids. 1t is well
| known that the orbits in which these little
| planets move are very ellipticaE One of
| them, /fthTa by name, TeVOlveS in an orbit
| SO eccentric that 1t has recently been diScOv-
| cred that when IL reaches its nearest ap-
| proach 10 the sun it is not very far re
| moved from that point o. the orbit OF
| Mars that is lartnest from the sun. There
| fore time must come when Ethra and Mars
/ viii chance to be near these points at the
| same Time. Itwould be difficult To propheSy
| the result OF such neighbofly encounter
| upon the planets themselves, or upon the
| equilibrium OF the solar system. But as
| tronomers have not yet worked ont the prob
blem as 10 when the juXtapOsition win take
place, and we may safely possess our souls i'm

have an astronomical event TO anticinata

reaching from the horizon to the zenith.
