COMING TO ‘At Low “‘2‘ u to o no what was called the. prophetic symbolism of the great pyramid of Egypt. Prof. Piaszi Smith. the English astronomer, contended that they were not only me- moi'isls of a 3 tom of weights and measures, inten ed to be perpetual, but that theohannels of the pyramids repre- sented the important epoohsin history. and thus indicated events still to come. Starting with a proposition that an inch representsa year, it was clearly reasoned out by many that not only was the birth of Christ foretold. but the date of the year giveqat which Moses received. his first command to take the children of Israel out of Egypt.

According to these prophets, the effects of the periheliawereto begin making their appearance this fall. when Jupiter passed his ' elion. and next year the scythe wo (I begin to sweep westward. with u swaths as bread as the continents, until it reached the Pacific Ocean. Plagues, (amines, pestilences, fire,earthquske, floods and tornadoes were to scourge the human race, till only a few people remained. like Noah and his family, to repeople the earth. It was argued that the ravages of the black death in the middle ages followed the nearly-coincident perihelia of {our great planets, and therefore similar consequences could be expected from the configuration of the planetsâ€"now. B. G. Jenkins. F. B. S. A... found that the outbreaks of cholera in 1816 throughodt the world were synchronous with the maxi- m and minim: occurrences of sun spots, end predicted another great cholera season in 1883-4. He found a. connection between the proximity of Jupiter be the sun and the black death. and also saw that more de. ploreble conditions would result lrorn the rihelion. Mr. Proctor. the astronomer. as taken pains to show that the pretended facts upon which these statements refit are baseless. and to prove that the great planets will not be in perihelion in If 81. and they will not all be in perihelion attny time. The Beet-trio Weather. It a doubtful whether the very oldest inhabitants remember a winter in which there was so little snow at this period oi the season as there is this winter. There has been little more than three or four inches at any time. Prof. Abbe. oi the United States Signal Service. Washington, in alluding to the numerous forecasts of weather, which are not verified. says: “it we find that (or several months the average hae been wet or cold. it may be predicted that during the immediate succeeding month the weather will be the reverse. that in, dry or warm. Then. we can get at the matter in another way. When Jan. nary. February and March have certain characteristics. the latter part of the year. October. November and December will have corresponding characteristics. Thus the weather me be loretold. in a general sense.eome men a ahead. But no man in the world has ever devised a plan which will foretell special storms on certain da 9. or which will offer a genuine prediction {or a long period in advance." Ax Awrm. Romanâ€"Mr. Wm.
