The recent mystcrio appearances fol-
lowing sunset and preceding sunrise have
attracted wide attention from students OF
the skies and the people generally. During
the days of recent weeks the sun seems tC

leade j ue which, as the sun -ece deu TO-
ward the horizon, became more luminous,
then yellow, then orange, then red; ana,
as night settled down upon the earth, dull
purple. At first it was thought these ap-

lions of light, but it is now pretty certain
thav thew are either the misty sub
stance of the tail of some unseen
comet, in which the earth is envelope d,
or a surrounding stratum of world dust or
yery small meteors. Professor Brooks, Ct

Whatever the mystery Is, there is no de.

work in the upper airs. The terrible tor

would perhaps seem that the present red

1t is not our purpose to dispute the cor
rectness of Professor Grimmer's prorhe-
cieS. AS we have SAID, the marked JUS
turbances of the past few years would
seem to give a semblance of verification of
his theory. 1t is certain, as above stated,
that we are passing through what may be
regarded as a 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 mitigate 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, him
self, is fortified by the best known prepara-
ton in the strongest possible manner and
that he exert the influence of his own eX-
ample upon his fellows to the end that
they, too, may share with him immunity
from the destructive Influences which seek
his ruin.
