and a precursor of the destruction of the
| world by fire the first of April. The
| comets appearance and the meteorit
showers of phosphorescent fire were il
close association. Mr. Sanderson we'll re

| of fire, as he called 1t. 1t was a wonder
full sight, startling to the onlookers. The!
| We're all curious to know what II was anC
