A TERRIBLE PROPHECY.
The Red sunsets, Cyclones and Earth

How to Meet II.
The recent mysterious appearances follow
ing sunset and preceding sunrise have at
tracted wide attention from students of the
skies and the people generally. During the
days of recent weeks the sun seems 10 have
been oil ,ured by thin veil, of "a dull, leaden
hue, which M the sun rcceded toward the
horizon, became more luminous, then yellow,
then orange, then red; and, as night settled
down upon the earth, a duh purple. AT first
il was thought these appearances were or
binary sunset reflections of light; but il is
now pretty certain that they are either I. o
misty substance of the tail OF some unseen
comet, in which the earth Is enVclopcd or a
surrounding stratum of world dust, o very
small mcteors. Prof. Brooks, OF the Red
House observatory, Phelps, y. Y, has
turned his tclesC opc upon these objects, ana
discovered what he thinks are myriadS of
telescope meteors. II IL is unorganiZed

Whatever the mystery is, there is no deny
ing that some very strange forces are at
work in the upper airs. The terrible lorna
does and cyclones which have swept our
country, and the fearful volcanoes ana earth
ana thousands of pcope-the tidal waves
which mystcriOusly rise and fall on coasts
hitherto unvcXcd by them-the tremendous
activity which is evident in the sun by the
constant revelation of enormous spots upon
its surfacc-all indicate unusual energy in
the heavenly bodies.
These circumstances recall PRO-. Grim
