Tho recent mysterio appearances fol-
lowing sunset and preceding sunrise have
attracted wide attention from students OF
the slsios and the people generally. During
tho days Of recon5 weeks tho sun seems TO
have boon obscured by n thin veil OF "A dull

as night settled down upon tho earth, a dull
purple. At first 1t was thought these APP

Grtmmer's prophecies that from 1881 TO
1887, the passage Of tho five great planets
Mars, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus and
Saturn-around the sun would produce
strange and wonderful phenomena. He
says; " The waters OF tho earth will be-
