Literary Prophets.

AsSet1ry Efopoetos
After Halle discovery of the two
moons Of Mars in 1877, it was pointed
OUT that Swift, in "Gullivers Travels"
hsd propheticaliy made the L,lliputian
astronomers discover the two satellites.
A still more curious circumstance il
now mentioned by DR.. Sophus from.
holt, who relates that in 1851 story
was published By . Hungarian author,
Maurus Jokai, in which reference was
made to the star which has recently
appeared in the Andromeda nebula.
The star, according to the story, was
revealed 10 royal family by the xvii
Spirit, who predicted death in battle
to those who could not see it. Jokai's
star was probably thing of imagina'
ton only; although there arc some
reasons for believing that the tale wa.
founded on Jewish tradition, which
make it probable that the "new star
at which the world is wondering wa.
seen by the Jews, aud has reappearet
to view after many centuries Of invis
,bility. In other words, the existenc,
Of such tradition would confirm tn
conclusion that the Aadromeda sta
is variable OF long period.
