"Fiery Dragons Of the Air"

Copenhagen.-In the razing of the
old monastery Of the Holy Ghost In
Wismar, Mecklenburg, an old Bible
was found which contained Il remark
able prophecy regarding the present
world war. It was written In 1901 by
one Of the monks on parchment that
is now yellow and scared with age. II
Is now on exhibition in a glass cas- In
the city hall of Wismar. So much
publicity has been given to the pro-
phecy in the papers of Germany that
thousands have fiocked to Wismar to
see II.
The prophecy not only gives the
cause of the war, but also indicates
the countries engaged. Up to the
present It has been amazingly accu-
rate. It does not exactly state that
Germany will be victorious, but indi-
Gates how long the war will last, when
the decisive battle will be fought, and
where and when peace will come, and
adds that Germany will continue to e
list as n power for many years. A
translation Of the writing on the
parchment is as follows:
"When Malignlty and Hatred RULE
Lord, have mercy Oh thy people de-
spite the fact that they are turning
more and more away from thee that
they are destroying thy monasteries
and cloisters and forgetting thee. A
time will come in Europe when these
people will feel the weight Of thy
hand, when mallgnity and hatred will
rule. It will be at a time when the
papal seat will be vacant, and the
conhagration will come as the result
Of the murder Of a prince. Seven ma

There will be wagons without

The terrible war will last three years

of the lower Rhine will tremble, but
nevertheless will endure to the end.
"The land to the west will be one

ocean will, with its king, be crushed

The land of the bearded people will
still endure for a long time to come,

'The victors Will carry a cross, and
between four small cities and four

hands to heaven and thank God. Fol-
lowing this all ungodliness will disap-
pear the indecent dances that pre-
vailed before the war will be seer nc

state and family.
"The war Will commence when the
grain is ripening and will reach its
height when the cherries bloom for the
third time. Peace will be consummat
