NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Astonish-
ment was expressed at the supersti-
tion when the earth did not come to
an end today. The ominius position Of
the planet had been well pressed
agented, and some astrologers and
persons voiced in witchcraft had
maintained that at the precise mo-
ment when the major leaguers OF the
Solar system formed themselves in a
straight line with Neptune. Saturn,
Jupiter. Mars. Venus and Mercury on
one side of 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
lone horse shay"
Scientists had scoffed the idea, but
the superstitious ones recalled having
lighted three cigarettes with one
match, or having walked under a lad
der or having done in recent historic
times one of the one thousand and
one other things known far and wide
as omens of evil days.
Students In Porto Rica are report
ed to have been so unfaVorably i'm
pressed with their chances for continu-
ing life yesterday that they asked a
holiday to prepare for the worse.
Astrologers have predicted the end
of the world on somewhat similar oc-
casions for centuries.

ologist Is given credit for first think

In considering their country's re.
