A Worse Danger Than Coxyism

L
Of an esteemed correspondent. We believe
old mother earth has been visited by ter
| rible catastropes in the past, the record OF
| which is written on the face of the planet;
and such castastropes will doubtless occur
| again in the future. At the same time we
feel sure that the present physical condi-
| tions will out-last all of us; and, as we
| firmly believe that this is an orderly, God
| governed universe we have no fears of our
| globe going to the 'demnition bow-wows'
| next August At the same time we dom
| want to have the readers of The Repre-
sentative taken unawares, or without time
| to pay up their delinquent subscriptions;
for there is no telling what penalty may be
| imposed, in the next world, for neglecting
| to remit what is due to such a newspaper
| as this! AS to the old party followers we
| don't care much whether they are warned
or not. They will not know enough to ap-
preciate the catastrophe when 1t occurs.
| Having gone through the last ten years,
| without single mental operation, they will
| be burnt up or -rozen to death without
| finding it out. Even the end of the world
will be to them only another Populist lie;'

really at hand, it may be because that is
| the only way the Lord has of getting clear
| of the Democrats and Republicans. For is
it not written, as a proverb that "even
the Almighty can do nothing with fool,
except kill him..
But seriously-if Prof. Falb is right,
we are to have cosmic conditions this year,
| such as have not existed before for thou
sands of years. If all the planets hitch up
in a tendem team and go to pulling on this
| poor little earth of ours, there is no telling
| what they may do to it.
| In any event, better preparation can
| be made for the grand final, than to send
in the dollar you owe The Representative
| for your subscription. /. d.
Prof. Falb's Prophecies.
The alleged statements made by Dr.Falb,
| of Vienna, in regard to the northern por-
ton of this hemisphere for the year 1894,
| as reported by the San Francisco Chron-
| ice, do not appear in the New York pa
| pers, which give the dates of the critical
| days'-the most serious to be Aug. &c. The
| most terrible calamity is stated by Dr..
| Falb to occur on or about Nov. 49, 1899,
| when a comet, which was first discovered
| III loco anu WHICH HAS DeSH I4ONlNS ABOUT
| space ever since in an uncertain way-will
| collide with the earth. Papers say: Prof.
! Fab has been roundly abused by the Aus
trian papers for making this prediction.
| Unfortunately Prof. Falbs prophecies have
| habit of turning out astoniShingly cor
rect; that is to say, his critical days have
| had disastrous records from seismic con-
| vulsons in various parts of the world.
| The professors theory is, that the in
| terror of the earth is a vast ocean of mol
Ito &c.
| the influence of the moon, and which rises
| to dangerous storms conjunction of Ger
| tain planetary influences, causing earth
| quakes and other form of terrestrial dis
| turbanceS.
Much uneasiness has been caused by the
| unusually sensational prediction for the
| year 1o9f-hlS previous predictions of earth
| quakes and terrestrial disturbances having
almost Invariably come true. The order OF
| minimum disturbances is as follows: Aug
20, Sept. 20, Feb. 20, March q, Aug 1, April
| 6, Jan. q, May 3, Oct. 2S''
This is a special science, based on the
| discoveries of the past % years Though
| not universally known, there is in Italy a
| bureau under that government with pro-
| fesSors in charge of thousands of instru-
| ments which record and denote where the

| excluding terrible disasters.
SO men Of science have gathered from
| facts that the great sun spots produce
| distinst results upon the earth. espe-
| clally IN electrical phenomena. Tice and
| Vennor were the earliest to maintain these
| views and in their correspondence with me
| ~ 10 10 years ago, they gave me valua BILE
| information of the most interesting charac-
| ter. Prof. Tice advanced the theory that
| the sun spots caused great calamities on
| earth, and that Jupiter, in a great measure.
| affects the sun spots when passing through
| the solar nodes. He said:
| mo solar outburst can occur without the
| solar system and consequently the earth
| instantly being thrilled with an electric
| shock. This was exemplifed in the notable
| cases that occurred Sept 2 1889 A fiery
| rluge was seen to spring across and span q
| large sun spot. Instantly the magnetic
| needle in all parts of the earth swayed to
and fro In great oscillations that contin-
ued for sc hours; an electric current darted
| through the telegraph in America prostrat-
| ing operators near the Instruments: in Nor
| way setting the instruments on fire and in
| England a flame poured from the pen of
| the Balm telegraph. At the same moment in
| Circassia an earthquake hurled mountain
| upon city at its base and at night the
| skies in both polar hemispheres We're illum
| mated with brilliant auroras."
Hundreds of incidents develop that there

| by the disturbing element in the vapory
| matter surrounding the sun, distant tens Of
| thousands of miles from it's body, which as
| tronomers assert, but cannot tell us of
| what the factors are composed nor the
| methods of their action. We can only de-
| duce the conjecture that the earth. rolling
| through ether composed of what we do not
| know 5000 miles per hour, and revolving
| on its axis 1,040 miles per hour, must be
| held in its place by some great controlling
| force which guides 1t immutably in its eI
| Hptic course, and also in it's third movement
| regularly through space, around the great
| central sun, which likewise guides and holds
| IN place our solar system. From our pres
| ent knowledge we believe that force to be
| electric, and that both attractive and repel-
| lent powers are exerted from the sun and
| correspondngly from all the planets The
| wisest conjecture is that the sun throws
| out through ether in direct planes vast mag
| netic and electric currents, which strike
| every portion of a circle, through which our
| solar system revolves. And that there are
| two nodes 80 degrees and 260 degrees in
| which the maximum forces are most sig

| at ITO degrees and $50 degrees.
| These sun forces strike through the or
| bits Of the planets in every part but in
| most tremendous force through the plane
| of 80 and 26O degrees The huge body of a
| planet like Jupiter Q.4O0 times the size of
| the earth, and Saturn. 800 tines, when it
passes through the points to which are
conveyed the most intense power of the
suns equatorial currents, must produce a
terribly disturbing influence upon other
