The recent mysterious appearance hollow

tracted vide attention from students Of the
skies and the people generally. During the
d Us ofrecent weeks the sun seems 10 have
been obscused by thin veil o. dull lesden
hue which, as The sun receeded toward the
horizon, became more luminous, then vel
low, then orange, then red, and, as night
settled down upon the eArtb,a dull purple.
At 6rst It wss thought these sppesra noes
were ordinary sunset reflections Of light but
1t is now pretty certain that they are either
the misty substa nee Of the tail OF some un-
| seen comet, In which the earth is enyel-
oped, or surrounding stratum Of world
dust or 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 myriads of telescope meteors. II it is
unrecognized world dust, or decumposed
yapors, as the Democrat and Chronicle of
Rochester, N. Y, remarks; Chow is this
matter TO be disposed Off Will it settle aud

partial opaque shell about the earth to cut

Whatever the mystery is, there is 20
denying that some very strange forces are
at work in the upper airs. The terrible

These circumstances recall Professor

his prophecy by the fact that in 1920, when

Inasmuch as the entire world seems sub.

part of the earth, he thinks, can esca pe

ca will lose over ten millions OF people,
that farmers will be stricken with fear and
c 'ase to till the soil that famine will make
humsn misery more wrctched. That hun
dreds will flee to overcrowded cities for aid
in vain. That sudden changes in ocean
currents. temperature and surroundings
will entirely transform the face Of nature

be SO foul with malaria aud other noxious
gassos; that those who survive will be
troubled with disorders OF the digestive
organs. That many who escape other ills
will bloat with drnpsy and suddenly pass
away, while others will grow thin aud drag
