New York, March 12-A prediction that England will some day become T colony of Ireland is made in the will of pr. Thomas A6dis Eumer srandnephew of Robert Eume- irish patriot, which was arad yesterday. IL disposes of an estate valued at s1.OOO,OOo, almost all of which goes O his two sons. a daughter and a Granddaughter.
 Dr. .Emmet who had devoted much of his life to the cause of Irish free 1om, wrote in part in his will:
 'InteI1ectualiy. God has favored he Irish people as individuals auG scattered over the world at large no other race has done moro for the de- vsIopment and happiness of other people. Comparatively, England is n the decrlpUude of old ago and living on the wealth of other people, while Ireland, after rogene-atun. will have yet to gain the vi-or of youth, and in justice England must some inc become an Irish province |hie belief is a. family inheritance.
 ..From my faith in God and uIti- mate justice, the stronger is my ao| f restitution, to be evoked by i0ai- rtdual action, but Inevitable for tho punishment Of a nation. Tra Irish people have suffered from uer7eeU- lion to an extent navar hafare taalna- ed on any other race. and through many. centuries have borne inc hs-- don in preparation Tor their own l1- ture government.
 ''Yet the ato-emert has r1t been reached, possibly due tn wan, of unity among themselves as a 0eoUIe @. md for having Ca-r.l ..a ua -l their native language or Gods special lealg- nation for them t9 indicate their ma iona1ity.
 God has done more for Ireland han for any other favored territory of the same extent. and nowhere has man done so uttle."

Scientists, However, Says Its New ConfiguratiOn, What
 ever That Is

This is the day designated by a
 French meteorological scientist fol
 dire things on this old earth, ana in many countries the superstiti-
 ous are alarmed lest "the end of
 the world' shall come today. But
 re-assurance has been given by Dr.
 Harlan T. Stetson of the Harvard
 astronomical library, who says all
 predictions of riots, floods, storms and other disturbances are based
 on nothing "more substantial than hot ait."
 What is to occur today, accord ing to Dr. Stetson, is this: All the I planets, with the exception of the earth, will lie in an approximate line with the sun, and all except Uranus will be on the same side of the sun. Such a configuration of the planets has never before oc- cured, it is stated by scientists. (The copy writer thought it best to pass that last statement to the scientists, as he admits he doesn't know whether such a configura- tion has occurred or not. And Ewhat's more, he says he's not go- ling to lose any sleep after putting the Graphic to bed this morning, speculating on what's going to
