The receht mysterious appearances follow
inc 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 to havs
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, dull purple. At first
it was thought these appearances were or
dinarv sunset reflections of light, but it is
now pretty certain that they are either the
misty substance Of the tail OF some uns5 ZEN
comet in which the earth is enveloTsi, or q
surrounding stratum of world dust or very
mali n1eteors. Professor Brooks, OF
the Red House observatory, Phelps,

Whatever the mystery IS, there is no deny

These circumstances recall Professor Grim

the Garth will become more or .ess poisonous.
The air will be foul with nOi5Ome OdOrs.

He attempts to prove his prophecy by the
fact that in 11zU, when Mars and Saturn
made their passa age around the sun
coircidentally, great destruction and NOR

found the same results in previous pereheliOn
passages of the planets, and argues that these
cir umstances always produce epidemlcs and

1t is not our purpose to dispute the correct
ness of Professor Grimner's prophecies As
we have said, the marked disturbances of
the past few years would seem TO give a
semb!ance of yerifcation of his theory. Is
is certain, as above stated, that we are pass
ing through what may be regarded as a
crucial period and it is the part of the wise
men not to ignore, but TO learn to fortify
themselves against the possibility Of
being overcome by these evils. 1t is a
duty which each man owes to him
self, 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, himself, is fortified
by the best known pre- aration in the strong
est possible manner and that he exert the in
huence of his own example upon his fellows
to the end that they, too, may share with him
immunity from tie destructive influences
which seek his ruin.
