the sun seems to have been obsc1red by
thin veil of a dull leadeh 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 We're ordinary sunset reflections of
light but it is now pretty certain that
they are either the misty substance of
tue 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 myr-
lads Of telescope meteors. If It 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 settle
and form deposit upon the earth, or re-
main partial opaque ebell about tho
earth to cut of q portion ofthe suns light
upon i!?''
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
DESTROYED SO many cities and thousands
Of people-the tidal waves which, mys
terious!v rise and fall on coasts hitherto
unyeXed 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 ell
ergy in the heavenly bodies.

Grimmer's prophecies that from 1881 to
1897, 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 of the 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 concidentally, great destruction
and mortality visited all parts of the
globe. He also found the same results in
previous perehelion passages the PLAIN
cts, and argues that these circumstances
always produce epidemics and destruc-
tive diseases which will battle the skill
of the most Ell 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 ofrenewed activ-
i:y and prosperity which will follow the
period of destruction.
Inasmuch as the entire world seems
subject to the sway of the heavenly bod
les no part of the earth, he thinks, can
escape scourging. He even predicts that
america will lose over ten millions ofpeo-
pie; that farmers will be stricken with
fear and cease to till the soil; that famine
will make human misery more Wretched.
That hundreds will fee to overcrowded
cities for aid in vain. Thateudden changes
in ocean currents, temperature and sur
roundings will entirely transform he 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 disord ers 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 miserable exis-
tence in Understandable agony for weeks.
Neuralgia pains in different; partskot the
hody viii torment them. They will cas-
ily tire and become Respondent. A faint,
hot feeling will be succeeded by chilly
sensations while Authorizations and dread
of impending i'll will paralYze all effort.
'The birds in the air, the beasts Of the
field, and even the fish Of the sea
will become diseased, poisc ming the
airand poisoning the waters ofthe globe"
We are told on the othe. 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 oflife will be owing to
the healthy electric and magnetic lntiu-
ences that will pervade the atmosphere:
1t 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 Grimner, 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 thatthe most philosophical and
effective method of accomplishing this
is to keep the kidneys and DIVER in good
condition. From the TESTIMONIALS OF
such men as DR.. Do Lewis aud Profess
or r. A. Gum. NJ. D. Dean of the
United States Medical college, New York,
and thousands of influential non-proies-
sional people, it seems almost GER tain
that for this purpose there is no prepar-
alton known to science equal to Warmers
Safe Cure, better known as Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. This med
lcine has acquired the finest reputation
of any preparation that was ever put
upon the market. It is a radical blood
purifier, which soothos and heals all in
famed organs, trengthens the nervous
system, washes out all evidenees of de-
cay, regulates digestion, prevents malas
similation of food in philosophical and
rational manner, forti6es the system
against climatic changes and malarial in
duences and the destructive agencies
which seem to be so abundant in these
''evil days."
1t 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 semblance Of verification
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. 1t 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
accomplish this purpose than to see to it,
that he, himself, is fortified by the best
known preparation In the strongest pos
sible manner and that he exert the in
tiuence of his own example upon his fel.
lows to the end that they too, may share
with him immunity from the destructive
influences which seek his ruin.
