From the Providence Journal.
Those who study tis stars will have
plenty Of occupation in the coming year.
The index-hand on the celestial dial
plate points TO events Of momentous
import. The four great planets reach
their nearest point to the sun more
nearly together than they have done for
almost 2 1000 years. II is not unreason-
able to suppose that, with their strong
pull and pull altogether, they will
create some unusual Disturbance in the
chaotic elements that make up the SUMS
fiery mass. The forces Of the new spot
cycle are now In active operation, and
those who have closely watched the in
fluence Of the solar disturbance on
climatic conditions predicted a hot sum-
mer from the heat-waves that follow
the commencement Of the tremendous
solar outbreaks. The hidden chambers
Of the Great Pyramid have given forth
In oracular fashion momentous prophe-
cies for 1881 tn the few disciples who
have faith In their teachings, and as
trologers cast strange horoscopes from
J the unusual planetary combinations.

meat are Incorporated with the bread,
and may thus be preserved for years,
SO at least we learn from the English
4Nechanic, which says these facts have
been discovered by Mons. Scheurer-
Kestner, who appears to have satisfied
Jhe Paris Academy Of Sciences on the
subject. Several loaves of this meat
bread, baked in 1873, were lately ex-
hibited before that learned body, and
are described ~ showing no Indication
OF mould or other decay. The proper
ton Of meat to flour should not exceed
one half, and to prevent the bread from
being sour, the meat should be cooked
for an hour in a little water. It would
not be wise, however, for any one to try
to make Mons. Scheurer- X estner's
meat-bread without further details Of
the method than are contained in any
article upon it which has fallen under
our notice. The process Is particularly
interesting in it's possible relations to
the food supply ofarmies.
