The recent mysterious appearances fol-
lowing sunset and preceding sunrise
have attracted wide attention from stu
dents OF the skies and the people gener-
ally. DURING the days Of recent weeks
the sun seems to have been obscIred by
thin veil of a dull leaden hue which,
rs the sun receded toward the horizon,
became more luminous, then yellow,
then orange, then red; AMI, as night set
tied down upon the earth, dull pur-
pie. Al first 1t was thought these appear
anres 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 enveioped, or a surround
ing stratum OF world dust or very small
metoros. Professor Brooks, OF the R,d
House Observatory, Phelps. N. Y. has
turned his telescope upon these objects
and discovered what ho thinks arc nyr-
lads OF telescope meteors. Ii it Is unor-
ganized world dusr, or decomposed VI
pors, rs the Democrat and Chronicle OF
Rochester, N. Y, remarks: "How is tb;5
matter to be disposed o.? Will it so;tlo
and form @ deposit upon the earth, or re-
main partial Opaque shell about tho
earth to ut of portion ofthe suns light
upon it?'
Whatever the mystery is, there 10 no
denying that some very strang, forces
are at work in the upper airs. Tho ter
rible tornadoes and cyclones which have
swept our own coun ry, aud tho fearful
volcanoes and earthquakes which have

uLvexed by them-tle tremendous adtiy-
ity which is evident in the sun 10y the
constant revelation Of enormous spots
upon its surface-all indicate unusua. en-
ergv in the heavenly bodies.
These circumstances recall Professor
Grimmer's prophecies that from 1881 TO
1877. the passage OF the five great plan
ets-Mars, Neptune, Jupiter. Uranus.
and Saturn-around the sun wolli pro.
duce strange and W ,nderful phi nononl.
He says" he waters OF the earth will Ue-
come more or leSs poisonous. The air
will be foul with noiso he odors. Ancient
races will disai pear 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 coincldentaliv, great dest rrlction
and mortality visited aIl parts OF the
globe. He also found the same results in
previous pprehello passages the plan
cts, and argues that these Circu,nsta ices
always produce epidemics and destruc-
tive diseases which Will battle the skill
of the most e.. inent physicians: that he
poor will die bv thousands, the weak ami

blood has been inpoverlsh Il by excess
OF work or dissipation next and only

ity and prospe rity which will fellow the
period OF destruction.
Inasnuch as the entire world seems
subject to the sway of the heavenly bod
les no part of the elrth. he thinks, can
escape scourging. He even predicts that
America will lose over ten millions Otpeo-
pie: that farmers will be stricken with
lear and cease TO till the soil that famine
will make human misery more wretched.
That hundreds II fee to overcroWdei
cities for aid in vain. That sudden 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 NAL ,ra
and other obnoxious gases that those who
survive will be troubled with disorders 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 miIera ole exss-
tence in understandable agony for weeks.
Neuralgic pains in different parts OF the
body will torment them. They will cas-

"The birds in the air, the beasts OF the
field, and even the fish OF tue sea
will become diseased, poisoning the
air and poisoning the waters ofthe glooe."
We are told on tle other hand tn It
those wro shall pass through this period
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 lntiu-
ences that will pervade the a. nosphere.
1t would perhaps seem that the present
redness of the sun, and the presence OF
belt or veil of cosinic matter, Justified,
in measure, the prediction OF Pro ess-
or Grimm err, but disturbing as his pre-
diction may be we are told for our COM
fort that the strong and pure bouded
need have little to far in these catanii-
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 phi losophical and
effective method of accomplishing this
is to keep the kidneys and liver in good
condition. From the testimonials OF
such men as DIR. Do Lewis and Profess
or r. A. Gum. NJ. D. Dean Of the
United States Medical college, New York,
and thousands of influential non profess
sional people, it seems almost certain
that for this purpose there is no prepar-
alton known to science equal to Warmers
Safe Care, better known as Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. This ned-
icine Las acquired the finest reputation
of any preparation that was ever put
upon the market. 1t is a radical blood
purifier. which soothes and heals AL in
famed organs, strengthens the nervous
system, washes out all evidences OF de

Sanitation of food in philosophical and
rational manner, fortiies the system

huences 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 Prof .ssor Grimmer'S proph-
ecies. As we have said the marked dis
turbances of the past few years would
seem 10 give semblance of verifiration
of his theory. 1t is certain, as above
stated, that we are passing throu IN what
may be regarded as crucial period aud
it is thu part Of wise men not to ignore,
but to learn to fortify themselves against
the possibility of being overcome by
these evils. 1t is a duty which each man
owes to himself and his fellows, to mitl-
"a o as much as possible the suf ling OF
humanity and in no way better can he
accomplish this purpose than to see oft,
that he, himself, is fortified by the best
known preparation IN the strongest pos
sible manner and that he exert the in
