or breaking up Of the whole system of nature
Next in the order of respectable authorize:
com the pyramids. Fully 1000 years ago
say the antiquarians, the rough and rugged
road of the grand gallery of the great pyra'
mid was inscribed with a marking at the veal
1881, "where the passage expands into q
magnificent corridor, where the high priest
celebrated the resurrection of the entire
brotherhood of man." These signs, we are
told, indicate that in 1881 new sets of sun
centres and consultations will exert theil
influence upon Il planet, eliminating in
! physical disturbances similar to those by
which DR.. Hitchcock, the ~geologist, has beer
enabled to define the different periods of or
ganized existence from the protozic to the
~alluvial, which, remarkable to be told, cor.
respond with the six days of the creative
work. The pyramid almanac is based on the
observation by the Egyptian philosopher " OF
the zodiacal signs and changes in heavenly
bodies, and the consequent cycles of time, the
lesser of 5000 years, which are a quarter OF
the entire grand cycle of $4,000 years."
Modern scientists, in trying to account for
the remains of tropical plants beneath the
dreary ice fields of the Arctic regions, have
wandered SO far into The domain of specula-
tive fancy that most of them can not find the
way out of the mazes of their own theories.
On the other hand, a few of the more prac-
IlCdl, dlIcT CAREFUL ODSeTNallOu anu cApeIl-
ment, have arrived at a theory which, while
plausible, borrows interest from the impress
of wisdom Ill the pyramids. One astronomer
has advanced the theory, based on dynamics,
that at certain points in the SUMS blazing
revolution around his centre of attraction in
the constellation of Hercules, that luminary's
planetary attendants would have to undergo a
change in the direction of their polar axes
through the counter attraction of Sirius and
other centres of systems. This astronomer
has gone so far as to locate the last north
polar axis of the earth in Utah, and subse-
qeuent experiments have developed a partial
depression in the surface of the Territory,
which, to say the. least, is very remarkable.
Another astronomer, Professor Mitchell, ex-
amined the plainisphere of the ancients, and
reports it correct to a single fraction OF a de-
gree. A lady lecturer, in San Francisco, of
much research, ~discOursing on masonic en-
blems, recently discovered in the pyramid,
held that the mysteries of ancient free mason-
ry were firmly founded on the science of
celestial mechanics, by which the ancients
calculated the polar axial changes to a day.
In the course of her lecture she said "The
last polar action dates G,000 years ago, and
another is now at hand. The last was calcu-
lated in ancient Babylon to the exactitude of
a day, and its mighty walls were fashioned to
meet the emergency of the mighty flood,
which its people reared from a polar ak al
change. They then calculated to a day the
change coming in the era in which we now
live. This history of the sun, that rises in
the east, as the beauty and glory of the day,
the a~ncients found to be the history of the
human race, when properly read and under
stood; hence founded thereon mysterious
orders of priesthood to perpetuate the solar
history. Noah lived and was rescued by a
knowledge of these mysteries, during the
occurrence of one of these returning grand
eras of many compound multiples of 5000
years." Leaving the geologist, whose ham
mer has been ringing on the shield of the
biblical defender, and the astronomer who,
in looking after new stars, has been charged
with a design to eclipse the star of Bethle-
hem, and turning towards the domain of re-
ligion, We find sucn erudite scholars as Emilio
CASTELAR, and Prof. Baldwin, porting over
Daniel and stopping the pendulum of earthly
at or about 1881. 1t is certainly remark
able that these men, in exploring futurity by
the chart of biblical prophecy, should rest
the destiny of the globe or its superficial
transformation upon the same notch OF time
as the Egyptian high priests.
