A TERRIBLE PROPHECY.

have attracted wide attention from stu
dents of the skies and the people gen.
ally, During the days of recent weeks
the sun seems to have been obscured
by thin veil of dull leaden hue
which, as the sun receded toward the
horizon, became more luminous, then
yellow, then orange, then red; and, as
night settled down upon the earth,
dali purple. AT first it was thought
these appearances 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 surrounding stratum or world dust
of very small meteors. Professor
Brooks of the Red House Observatory,
Phelps, N. Y, has turned his telescope
upon these objects and discovered what
he thinks are myrads of telescope
meteors. If it is unorganized world
dust, o. decomposed vapors, as the
Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester,
n. Y, remarks: 'How is this matter
to be disposed OFF Will it settle and
form a deposit upon the earth or remain
a partial Opaque shell about the earth
to cut off portion of the suns light
upon itp"
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-
teriously rise and fall on coasts hitherto
unveXed by then-the tremendous ac-
tivity which is evident in the sup by the
constant revelation of enormous spots
upon its surface-all indicate unusual
energy in the heavenly bodies.
These circumstances recall Professor
Grimmer's prophecies that from 1881
to 1887, the passage of the five great
planets--Mars. Neptune, Jupiter,
| Uranus and Saturn-around the sun
would produce strange and wonderful
phenOmena. He says: THE waters
of the earth will become moro or less
poisonous The air will be foul with
noisome odors. Ancient races will dis
appear 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 coinci-
dentally, great destruction and mortali-
| ty visited all parts of the globe. He al
so found the same results in previous
perehelion passages of the planets, and
argues that these circumstances always
produce epidemics and destructive dis
eases which will battle the skill of the
most eminent physicians; that the poor
will die by thousands. the weak and in
temperate falling first, those whose
| blood has been impoverished by ex-
cess of work or dissipation next, and
only those who are in comparative Wig
or shall escape to enjoy the era of re-
newed activity 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
of people; that farmers will be stricken
with f ar and cease to till the soil; that
famine will make human misery more
wretched. That hundreds will flee to
overcrowded cities for aid in vain.
That sudden changes in ocean currents,
temperature and surro findings will
entirely transform the face OF nature
and G. mate of countries; that the air
will b. SO foul with malaria and other
noxiois 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 misera-
BILE existence in Undesirable agony

"Ihe birds in the air, the beasts of the

poisoning the waters of the globe.
| We are told on the other band that
those who shall pass through this period
of trial will have larger enjol ment of
life and health. The earth will yield
more abundantlv 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 in

ton Of Professor Grimmer, but disturb
ing as his predictions may be we are
told for our comfort that the strong
and pure blooded need have little to
fear in these calamities, that those who
are delicate or indisposed should adopt
means to keep the system well sup
ported and the blood pure and that the
most philosophical and effective method
of accomplishing this is to keep the
kidneys and liver in good condition.
From testimonials of such men as DIR.
