defined districts, generally through the
volcanic vent holes.
Opposed to Professor Falb are the
scientists who believe that the comet is
going to get the worst of it, and point
to the fact that the comet Lexell, when
it went too near to Jupiter was thrown
off its course and sent flying out of our
planetary system.
A few years ago an investigator de-
clared that the taking of so much coal
and petroleum from the bowels of the
Eastern United States was going to
change the balance of the hemisphere
and tip up the eastern coast, submerg-
ing the Pacific slope, and a Boston sci
enlist anticipated Professor Falb to
some extent, declaring that both the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts would soon
be submerged, owing to seismic dis
turbances. so tremendous that within
twenty-five years large portions of
New Jersey and lower New York city,
with the water boundaries of Connecti-
cut. Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and
Maine, are to be known no more forever
to the physical geography of the earth"
Another scientist, Edward r. Garcyn-
ski, has also spoken upon the subject.
His predictions are less specific than
those of Professor Falb as to date. and
yet in some respects they are strikingly
similar.
Mr.. Garcynski does not look for
seismic catastrophe but he holds that
the time is rapidly drawing near when
a glacial drift wave or polar avalanche
Will sweep over the earth, destroying
nearly all animal life and nearly all
traces of the occupation by mankind,
but he adds, there are parts of the
world which are a failing refuge,
and which through the tender mercy
OF. infinite love are never destroyed.
Many dates have been fixed for the
end of the world in modern times.
Some of the most noteworthy have been
1904 by Cardinal Nicholas de Cusa;
1857 by Swedenborg; 1886 by Johann
Albrecht Bengel; 1S43 by William Mil
Ter, the first Adventist; 1866 by DR.. John
Cummings, the distinguished Scotch di-
vine, and in 1881 by Mother Shipton,
who declared.

In 1857 the Bavarian Allgemeine lei
tung published Bayarian hermit's pre-
diction of events for the rest of the
century. In this prophecy the rise Of
Napoleon Ill, the Austro-Prussian war,
the Franco-Prussian war and the Paris
Commune are definitely described. The
death of Pope Plus is set down for 1877,
but the T0pe did not die until 1878
The Franco-Prussian war of 1871 was
prophesied correctly. The hermit said
that before the end of the century Ger
many would have three Emperors in
one year, which we all know is lust
what happened. He was sure that dur
ing the century one President of the
United States would be assassinated.
whereas the record has already sur
passed him by one.
AS for things that have not vet come.
the hermit predicts that before the
twentieth century should arrive Man
haitian Island, Florida, Lower Califor-
mia and half of Cuba, including the city
OF Havana, would be submerged be-
meath the waves Of the ocean in a great
upheaval of natures forces. Then we
are told that the twenty-fifth will be
the last of the United States presi-
dents. That gives us one more after
Cleveland. There are to be no more
Presidents, because there are to be no
more United States, if we believe this
hermit. The country is to be divided
politically, and six different govern
ments are to be set up, with Boston,
Washington, st. Louis, New Orleans,
Salt Lake City and San Francisco as
their respective capitals. There is also
going to be trouble abroad ireland will

In the year 1896 will commence
great series of wars. France will take
the lead against Germany and will wipe
out the memory of the defeat of 1871.
Germany will be completely defeated
and driven across the Rhine, so that all
the left bank of the Rhine, including
Belgium, Luxemburg and all the Prus-
sian Rhine provinces, will be annexed
to France. Meanwhile all the other Eu-
ropean nations will be embroiled, with
the final result that the present twenty
three nations established in the ruins
of Caesars Roman Empire will be re-
duced in number to ten kingdoms ruled
by ten soyereigns. Then viii rise new
