Tue recent mysterious appearances follow
ing sunset and preceding sunrise have attract.
ed wide attention from students of the skies
and the people generally. During the days of
recent weeks tue sun seems to have been OBJ
scuted by thin veil Of a dnli leaden hue
which, as the sun receded toward the horizon,
orange, then red; and, as night set lied down
upon the earth. q dull purple. Atfilst It was
thought these appearances we're ordinary
sunset reflections of light, but it is now pretty
certain that they are either the misty sub
stance OF the tail of some unseen comet, in
which the earth i enyeloped, or surrounding
stratum of world dust or very small metcors.
Professor Brooks, of the Red House Ooserva-
tory, Phelps. N Y, has turned his telescope
upon these objects and discovered what he
THINKS are myriads of teiescopic lneteors. II
1t Is unorganized world dust, or decomposed
vapors, as the Democrat and Chronicle, of Roch-
ester, ". Y, remarks: How is this matter
to be disposed OFF Will it settle and form
deposit upon the earth, or remain partial
opaque shell about the earth TO cut of q Dor.
ton of the suns light upon it?"
Whatever the mystery is, there .Is no deny
ing that some very strange forces are at work
in the upper airs. The terrible tornadoes and
c. clones which have swept our own country,
and the fearful volcanoes and earthquakes
which have destroyed so many cities and thou
sands of people-the tidal waves which myste-
rlously rise and fall on coasts hitherto unyexed
by them the tremendous activity which is evil
dent in the sun by the constant revelation OF
enormous spots upon its suIface-all indicate
unusual energy III the heavenly bodies.
Ihese circumstances recall Professor Grim
me1's prophecies that from 1881 to 1887, the
passage of the five great planes-Mars, Nep-
tune, Jupiter, Uranus and saturn-around the
san would produce strange and wonderful phe-
nomena. He says: "The waters of The earth
Will become more or less poisonous. TIE air,
Will be foul wiihnoisome odors. Ancient races
VIII disappear from the earth" He attempts
to prove his prophecy by tho fact that in l72O,
when Mars and Saturn made their passage
around the sun coincidentally, great destruc-
globe. He also found the same results in pre-
vlous perehelion passages of the planets, and
argues that these circumstances always pro-
duce epldemics and destructive diseases which
will battle the skill OF the most eminent phy 81
clans; that the poor will die by thousands the
weak and intemperate 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 eujoy
the era Of renewed activity and prosperity
which will follow the period Of destruction
lnasmuch as tae entire world seems subject
to the way of the heavenly bodies no plrt of
the earth, he thinks, can escape sconrCiug.
He even predicts that America will lose over
ten millions of people: that farmers will be
stricken with fear and cease to till the soi that
famine will make human mi. cry more wretched,
Ihat hundreds will flee to overcrowded cities
for aid in vain. That sudden changes in ocean
currents, temperature and ndsurrounding will en-
tirely transform the face OF nature and climate
Of countries; that the air will be so foul with
malaria and other noXious gases, that those
who survive VIII be troubled with disorders of
the digestive organs. That mauy who escape
other Ills will bloat with dropsv and suddenlv
pass away, while others will grow thin and
drag out miserable existence in indescrioable
agony for weeks. Neuralgia pains in different
parts OF the body will tofment them. they
will easily tire and become despondent. K
faint, hot feeling will be succeeded by chilly
sensations while hallucnations aud 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 disease
poisoning the cir and poisoning the waters of
the globe" We are told on the other hand
that those who shall pass Though this period
of trial Will have larger enjoyment of life and
health. The earth will yield more abundautly
than ever before. Tie animal abingdon VIII be
more prolific and life prolonged very material
ly. This proloneatlon of lie Will be- owing
TO- the healthy electric and magnetic
influences that will pervade the stmos-
phere. 1t would perhaps seem that the pres
ent redness of the sun, and the presence of II
belt or veil Of co-mic matter, justified, in q
measure, the prediction of Professor Grimmer.
but dlstu binS as his predict n may be we are
told for our comfort that the strong and pure
blooded need have little to fear in these
calamiIles, that those who are delicate or in
disposed should adopt means to Keep the sys-

testimonials of such men as DR.. Dio Lewis and
Professor II. A. Gum, NJ. d., Dean of the
United States Medical College, New York, and
thousands of influential non-professional peo-
pie, 1t seems almost certain that Tor this prr-
pose there is no preparation known to science
equal to Warmers Safe Cure, better known as
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. This
medicine has acquired the finest reputation of
any preparation that was ever put upon the
market. 1t Is a radical blood purifier, which
soothes and heals ali intlamcd organs, streng, h.
ems the nervous system, washes out all evi-
dences of decay, regulates digestion, prevents
malassimiatlon of food in philosophical and
rational manner, fortifes the system against
climatic changes and malaral influences and
the destructive agencies which seem to be 30
abundant III these "evil days." " Gsf1
L is not our purpose to i@pute the correctness
OF Professor Grimmer's prophecies. as s. have
said the married disturbances of the past few
years would seem to give semblance of veri-
heation OF his theory. It is certain, as above
stated, that we a. g passing through what may
be regarded as crucial period and it is the
par: OF wise-mea. OF to ignore but to learn TO
fortify themselves against the possibility of be-
ing overcome by these evils. 1t is u duty which
eacL mau owes to himself, and his fellows, to
mitigate as much as possible the suffering of
humanity and in no way better can he accomo-
lish this purpose than to see to it that he, HIM
self. is fortified by the best known preparation
in the strongest possible manner and that he
his fellows to the end that they, too, NAV share
with him immunity from the destructive ipflu-
eDces which seek his ruin.
