ALIGNMENT Of PLANETS WITH
sun FAILS BRING It TO END
Astronomers Maintain That Ef-
feet Upon Earth Of Planet
ary Alignment Will Be Nil.
(By. The Associated Press, :,

New York, Dec. 17.-Astonishment
was expressed by the superstitious
when the earth did not come to an
end today.
The ominous position of the planets
had been well pressed again, and
some astrologists, and persons YER
sed with witchcraft, had maintained
that at the precise moment when the
major leaguers Of the solar system
align themselves in strait line, Nep-
tune, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus
and Mercury on one side, the sun and
Uranus on the other, the earth which
had moved four or five solar PAGES
to the front of the line would behave
like the one horse shay.
Harold Jacoby, professor astro-
nomy at Columbia, and many other
scientists maintained that the effect
upon the earth planetary alignment
would be nil:.s ''
Astrologers have predicted the end
of the world on somewhat similar oc-
casions for centuries. As early as
1856 the world escaped one of their
threatened catalycisms. Disappoirt-
ment at the escape did not prevent
Stoffler from predicting universal
deluge for the year 1542-a year, as
it turned out, which was distinguished
for drought.
Mother Shipton, witch" Of the Tu-
dor times, was credited with being
equally sure that 400 years after her
time lin 1881 to be exact. the world
would come to an end. The pretiic-
tien caused much agitation III Eng
land when the date she set arrived.
Thousands o* persons deserted their
homes and went out into the fields
to await anihilation. sE
Professor F. Porter, meteorolog-
ist, is given credit for first thinking
up today's catastrophe.
