RECORD OF The GREAT
YEARS OF CALAMITIES

The year 1902 is likely to go down II
history as an "annus mirabilis," by
which term the years of special disas
ter have been known through the ages
says the Philadelphia North American
Although Just about half finished
1902 already has to its record an ap,
palling loss OF life throughout the
world
No fewer than 100000 human beings
have fallen victims. Less than half OF
those deaths occurred at Martinique,
through Peiee's frightful eruption. The
remainder was occasioned by other ca
tastrophes, the earthquakes In Guate-
mala, the foods in China, and the min
In gdisasters in the United States and
Canada.
Close students Of history predict
more terrible calamities to follow, bas.
ing their predictions chiefly on the
common belief that "misfortunes new
err come slngly."
In the calamities of the present year
II Is easy enough to imagine a connec-
ton, for all may be explainable as due
to cosmic forces of some sort. In an
other dreadful year, that OF 1866, in
England, there Is no apparent reason
why one disaster followed another.
That was the year following the occur.

swept over London, completing its dev.

came the great fire that ate out the

signs in the heavens, and there were
