quakes Foretelling Coming Disas
ter-How to Meet 1t.
The recent mysterious appearances fol-
sunset and preceding sunrise
have attracted wide attention from t
dents Of the skies and the people gener-
ally. During the days of recent weeks
a thin veil of a dull leaden hue which,
the sun receded toward the horizon,
became more luminous, then yellow,
then orange, then red; and, as night set
tied down upon the earth, adult 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.
lug stratum of world dust or very small
meteros. Professor Brooks, Of the Rcd
House Observatory, Phelps. N. Y, has
turned his telescope upon these objects
and discovered what he thinks are myr-
lads of telescope meteors. II 1t is unor-
ganized world dust, or decomposed va
pcrs, as the Democrat and Chronicle of
Rochester, n. Y, remarks: "11ow is this
matter to be disposed OF? Will it sottlc
and form q deposit uponthe earth, or re-
main a partial Opaque shell about tho
earth to cut of a portion ofthe suns light

denying that some very strange forces
are at work in the upper airs. The ter
rible tornadoes and cyclones which have
swept our W country, and the fearful
volcanoes and earthquakes which have
destroyed so many cities and thousands
of people-the tidal waves whica nlys'
teriousiv rise and fall on coasts hitherto
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 unusua! en-
ergy in the heavenly bodies.
These circumstances recall Professor
Grimmer's prophecies that from 1881 TO
1887, the passage of the FIVE great plan
ets-Mars, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus,
and Saturn-around the sun would pro-
duce strange and wonderful phenomena.
He says" The waters ofthe earth will be-
come more or less poisonous. The air
will be foul with noiso.ne odors. Ancient
races will disappear from the earth" He
attempts to prove his prophecy
by the fact that in 1920, when Mars
and Saturn made their passage around
the sun coincldentallv, 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 epidemics and destruc-
tive diseases which will battle the skill
ofthe most eli inent physicians; that the
poor will die by thousands, the weak and
Incorporate falling first. those whose
blood has been impoverished by excess
of work or dissipation next and only
those who are in comparative vigor Shall
escape to enjoy the era oirenewed activ-
ity and prosperity which will fellow the
period OF destruction.
T. Inasmuch as the entire world seems
subject to the sway Of the heavenly bod
les NC part of the earth, he thinks, can
escape scourging. He even predicts that
America will lose over ten millions OF PEG
pie; that farmers will be stricken with
fear and cease TO till the soil; that famine
will make human misery more wretched.
That hundreds VII flee to overcrowded
cities for aid in vain. Thatsudden changes
in ocean currents. temperature and sur
r~oundings will entirely transform the face
of nature and climate of countries;
that the air will be SO foul with malaria
and other obnoxious gases that those who
survive will be troubled with d~isorderso OF
the digestive organs. That many who es-
cape other ills will bloat with dropsy and
suddenly pass away, while others will
grow thin and drag out a miserable exis-
teuce in indescrihabie agony for weeks.
Neuralgia pains in different parts OF the
hody will torment them. They Will cas-
lily tire and become Respondent. A faint,
hot feeling will be succeeded by chilly
sensations while hallucinationsand dread

''The birds in the air, the beasts of the
field, and V the fish of the sea
will become diseased, poisoning the
airand poisoning the waters ofthe globe
We are told ON the other hand that
those who shall pass through this period
of trial will have larger enjoyment o
life aud health. The earth will yield
more abundantly than everbefore. Iht
animal kingdom will be more prolii'
and life prolonged very materially
| This prolongation oflife will be owing tt
the healthy electric and magnetic int1u
ences that will pervade the atmosphere
1t would perhaps seem that the presen
redness of the sun, and the presence O
a belt or veil of cosmic matter, justified
in q measure, the prediction OF Profess
or Grimmer, but disturbing as his pre-
diction may be we are told for our CON
fcrt that the strong and pure bloode,
need have little to fear in these calaml
ties, that thoae who are delicate or il
disposed should adopt means to Ike 9
the system we'll supported and the bloc,
pure and that the most philosophical ant
is to keep the kidneys and liver in gout
condition. From the testimonials o
such men.as DR.. Die Lewis aud Profess
or r. A. Gum. NJ. D. Dean Of tn,
United States Medical college, New Yorl
aud thousands Of influential non-profes
sional people, it seems almost certai
that for this purpose there is no prepal
alton known to sciences equal to Warner
Safe Cure, better known as Warner
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. This mec
icine has acquired the finest reputatio
of any preparation that was ever pit
upon the market. 1t is a radical bloc
purifier, which soothes and heals all il
famed organs, strengthens the nervou
system, washes out all evidences of de
cay, regulates digestion, prevents malas
similation of food in a philosophical an
rational manner, fortities the syster
against,climatic changes and malarial in
luences and the destructive agencie
which seem to be SO abundant in thes
"evil days."
