The recent myster appearancesfo fol-
lowing sunset and preceding sunrise
have attracted, wide attention from Etu.
dents of the skies and the people gener-
ally. During the days of recent weeks
the sun seems to have been obscured by
thin veil Of q dull leaden hue which,
as the sun receded toward the horizon,
became more luminous, then yellow,
then orange, then red; and, as night set
tied down upon the earth, a dull pur-
pie. AT first it was thought these appear
ances were ordinary sunset reflections of
light but it is now pretty certain that
they are either the misty substance of
the tail of some unseen comet, in which
the earth is enveloped, or a surround
ing stratum of world dust or very small
meteros. Professor Brooks, OF the Red
House Observatory, Phelps. N. Y, has
turned his telescope upon these objects
and discovered what he thinks are ,nyr-
lads Of telescope meteors. If 1t is unor-
ganized world dust, or decomposed va
pors, as the Democrat and Chronicle Of
Rochester, n. Y, remarks: "How is this
matter to be disposed OF? Will it sottls
and form deposit upon the earth, or re-
main partial opaque shell sbout the
earth to cut Of a portion ofthe SUMS light
upon it?"
Whatever the mystery is, there is no
denying that some very strange forces
are at work in the upper airs. The ter
rible tornadoes and cyclones which have
swept our own country, and the fearful
volcanoes and earthquakes which have

unvexed by them-the tremendous actiY-
ity which is evident in the sun by the
constant revelation Of enormous spots
upon its;surface-all indicate unusual en-
ergy in the heavenly bodies.
These circumstances recall Professor
Grimmer's prophecies that from 1881 to
1897, the passage Of the FIVE great plan

and Saturn-around the sun would pro-

attempts to prove his prophecy
by the fact that in 1920, when Mars
and Saturn made their passage around
the sun coincidentallv, great destruction
and mortality visited all parts of the
globe. He also found the same results in
previous pereheliOn passages ofthe PLAN
cts, and argues that these circumstances
always produce epidenics and destruc-
tive diseases which will battle the skill
of the most eI inent physicians; that the

We are told on the other hand that
those who shall pass through this period
of trial will have larger enjoyment of
life and health. The earth will yield
more abundantly than ever before. The
animal kingdom will be more prolific
and life prolonged very materially.
This prolongation of life will be owing to
the healthy electric and magnetic inf1u-
ences that will pervade the atmosphere.
It would perhaps seem that the present
redness Of the sun, and the presence of
a belt or veil of cosmic matter, justified,
in measure, the prediction Of Profess
or Grimmer, but disturbing as his pre-
diction may be we are told for our COM
fort that the strong and pure blooded
need have little to fear in these calami-
ties, that thoae who are delicate or In
disposed should adopt means to Ike ep
the system we'll supported and the blood
pure and that the most philosophical and
effective method of accomplishing this
is to keep the kidneys and liver in good
condition. From, the testimonials Of
such men as DR.. Die Lewis aud Profess
or T.. A. Gum. M. D. Dean of the
United States Medical college, New York,
and thousands of influential non-profes-
F;onal people, it seems almost certain
that for this purpose there is no prepar-
alton known to science equal to Warmers

icine has acquired the finest reputation
of any preparation that was ever put
upon the market. It is radical blood

duences and the destructive agencies
which seem to be 80 abundant in these
"evil days."
It is not our purpose to dispute the cor
rectness OF Professor Grimmer's proph-
ecies. AS We have said the marked dis
turbances of the past few years would
seem to give a semblance of verifcation
Of his theory It is certain, as above
stated, that we are passing through what
may be regarded as crucial period and
it is the part of wise men not to ignore,
but to learn to fortify themselves against
the possibility of being overcome by
these evils. It is duty which each man
owes to himself and his fellows, to miti-
gate as much as possible the suffering of
humanity and in no way better can he
