The reporter then showed the ar
ticle to Prof. Eastman, who laughed
very heartily after reading it, and
said: "You see there are periodical
waves of speculation among amateur
astronomers, and I suppose this is
the latest. These gentlemen specu-
late ingenious|y, and the people al
ways read tina. sort of matter with
out once endeavoring to ascertain
the real facts in the CASE In ad-
dition he makes long statement in
which he shows the fallacy of such a
prediction.
Prof Hardness was busy with
some astronomical tables, but took
time to read over the article.
81 can dispose Of it in three sen,
tences,' said he. "In the first place,
that any comet is about to fall into
the sun is an absurdity. Secondly,
if comet did fall into the sun it is
not likely that it would increase the
heat of that body sufficiently to
cause any serious damage to the
earth; and lastly, physicists do not
believe, as the article states, that the
falling of metorites into the sun is
the principal source of heat. So
far as it is known, the only adequate
source seems to be the shrinkage of
the suns diameter, produced by the
action of its own gravity
II think articles of that kind, -
said he, pointing to the extract,
"are not worth moments consid
Grafton, except to expose their abb
surdity.'
Prof. Newcomb did not see why
people should get interested in such
unmitigated nonsense.
"But they do get interested" he
said, "for the other morning ]
found on my desk a letter from a
gentleman who had read this pre-
diction, and who wanted to know
whether it was true. [ guess you
might as well tell the readers of the
papers that I told him that he ought
to know better than to trouble HIM
self about matter which, on it,
very face, is nonsensical and alb,
surd."
It is, indeed, very strange thai
intelligent people should concern
themselves about such foolish and
absurd reports pertaining to things
about which nothing is known.
neither can be known. All believ.
ers in Holy Writ should remember
the declaration OF onr LOru nnv.
he was on the earth: "But Of tha
day and hour knoweth no man, no
not the angels of Heaven, but my
Father only"

A LENGTHY article has been go
ing the rounds Of the press an
nouneing that there was great dan
ger of the world coming to a end
during the present year. This
prophesy is little more exact than
Mother Symptoms famous prophesy,
for it details the manner in which
the destruction Of the earth is to
take place. It is, in brief, that
there is present in the universe
body, small in size by reason Of it's
great distance from the sun, but al
most inconceivably dense by reason
of the amount of matter contained
in it, which is proceeding directly
toward the sun. The prediction de-
clares that some time during this
year this great mass will fall into
our luminary, and the immense
heat suddenly produced thereby
will destroy all the higher forms of
life on the earth. 1t is very sober
ly stated that the people at the
poles, although the temperature will
be greatly increased, may possibly
survive this intense heat and thus
repeople the earth. The event
thus detailed is called a cataclysm.
This is either true or not true, and
to settle the question, which GER
tainly possesses considerable iLdi-
vidual interest, a reporter has been
interviewing the government as
tronomers on the subject. The
naval observatory was the first point
visited.
Prof. Hall, able to discover Mars
satellites, has not found the comet
that is to play an important part in
the worlds destruction. He says
that the only foundation for such a
prediction is the statement that the
comet of 1912 was to return about
this time, but that nothing certain
is known. "Indeed,' said he, sit is
impossible to know anything about
comets, but the likelihood of its
falling into the sun, or striking the
earth, even if it did return, is in
fnitely small there's just one
chance in millions and millions thai
such thing will come to pass.

high standard as thoroughly relia-

from all parts of the world, give reli-

miscellaneous selections, religious in
telligence and everything to be found
in the metropolitan weeklies. Our

FRIDAY, JAN. q. 1881.

One of the most important issues
of the day, especially among the
newspapers and politicians, seems
to be the making up of the next
Presidents Cabinet. This is a sub.
ject of which we know comparative
ly little. True, we have given from
time to time rumors and reports of
selections that are to be made by
General Garfield, but We do not
vouch for the correctness of any of
these statements. There seems to
be some foundation for the report
that Blaine will be made Secretary
of State that Grant can have a
Cabinet position if he desires it, and
indications multiply that Senator
Allison is to be Secretary of Treas
ury; that such is the fact his friends
confidently claim. That this will
be SO We are'by no means sure, but
Of one thing we are certain, that
when General Garfield takes his
seat in the Presidential chair, the
4th of March next, and forms his
Cabinet, it will be composed of men
who will reflect honor upon himself
and 4hA;. oa..n+-- w
afraid to trust the whole matter,
without one word Of advice, in the
hands of one who stands as leader
among his fellow>nen, and who bore
our standard SO nobly through the
last campaign. We feel assured
that with James A. Garfield at the
helm, to guide our great ship of
state for the next four years, all will
be well.

The MIDw1NrER FEBRUARY) Serb
NER has always been a special num-
Der, as rich as the choicest literary
matter and the most beautiful wood
engravings can make it. Of last
years midwinter number the London
Times said: 1T is a really magnif-
cent triumph of American pictorial
art and literary genius The En-
glish publisher of Scribner has tele-
graphed for 1900 copies of the
present number, an advance of 5000
upon his orders last year, and the
largest edition of an American mag
azine ever sent to England; in fact,
it is said to be larger than the month
ly sales of any English magazine.
The American edition of Scribner
has grown during 1880 about 10000
copies.
A delightful feature of the maya
zine this year is a series of spark
ling novelties, Or condensed novels,
instead of q serial story. "a Fair
Barbarian" a story of a piquant
American girl in England, by Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett, begins in
this February number with a twenty
two page installment. It will run
through three issues. Since the death
of George Eliot it may be said that
Mrs. Burnett commands larger
Notwithstanding audience than any
other woman. Her novelties will
be followed by one by George ".
Cable, author of "The Grandissimes,
&C., and afterward Boyesen's 'Queen
Titania will be published. 'sPeter
