Prof. Falb dsclaims in the most peremptory
manner that his warnings should be classed
as predictions or prophecies.
Il am not a prophet" he said in an in
terview. my theories are simply scientific
interior of the earth is nlled with a matter
mass, subject to ebb and flow just like the
waters of the ocean. Every intelligent and
educated man knows this. Between the
surface of the earth and this molten mass
which is slowly cooling, there is only a
she'll Of an average of eighteen miles in thick
ness, in some places thinner than in 9TH
ers, and here the confined force escapes in
the form of gas. But not finding such an
outlet. through the influence of the moon,
great tidal wave sweeps round the infer
crust of the earth and produces the terrible
phenomena known as earthquakes"
This is in short Prof. Falb's theory, and
it has been much disputed, particularly his
reference to the influence of the moon. Prof
Falb calls attention to the fully established"
instances where a comet has come in contact
with our planet and the results:
GIG Jan. IA, ten people killed in China by
the fall of meteor
1913. Nov. 8, thirtyf1ve villages destroyed In
Saxony.
1911. Sept 4, many lives destroyed by fall
ing metenrs at Crema.
1749. Nov. a. ship crossing the Atlantic
was struck, killing several sailors.
Each of these instances, says Prof. Falb.
can be regarded as the fall of a small comet
upon our planet
