I A SENSATIONAL [ PREDICTION,



of the late lamented Dr Camming, pre-



dictions with regard to the end of th* worid were of common occurrence. The rev. gentle man frightened hysterical and imagi native people somewhat seriously at first, but when the crack of doom came due and failed to put in an appearance they, cheered up and reviled him. Astronomers have more than once since fixed the dread day. They generally, however, place it such a long way down future ages that nobody minds much, J\ ow, I m sorry to say, a disquieting theory on the subject is agitating America, its inventor being Professor S. J. Corrigan, director of the Oarletori University, Norfchfield, Mmm sota, the great university of the north-west of America. Under the title of " Visibility of Intra-Mercurial Planets," Professor Oorrigau writes a paper for Popular Astronomy, the recognised organ of American astro iiomy, in which he assorts that the earth is closely approaching an extremely °rS C*L epoctl V* i*«r~t««.i..w/ while the actual day cannot be for*. told, its certain destruction is immin ent. Astronomers in all parts of the world are confessing their failure to account for the appearance of the remarkable sun-spots which are engag ing the attention of the whole scientific world. With his fellow-astronomers, Professor Corrigan has been making a close and earnest examination of these spots on the sun, and in pursuing this investigation has discovered the exist ence of three hitherto unknown planets which are tearing through space be tween our earth and the sun. In making this disclosure Professor Cor rigan finds a clue in the condition of atmospheric disturbances to show be yond doubt that the sun-spots are due to the evolution from the sun ©f an entirely new planet. "This new planet," says Professor Corrigan, " may at any instant break away from the sun, and the terrific explosion which will necessarily accompany this breaking away will produce a great disturbance of the entire universe, but particularly of the earth, perhaps completely smashing it, and surely destroying all animal life on. land as well as in the waters." Pro fessor Corrigan makes no conditions to hi-i announcement. He does not qualify hte prediction with any clauses ■ibout events that may only possibly happen-mid bring about the destruction .if ul! lifo on the globe. He shows conclusively that this new planet is unmUtakeably nearly completely separ ated from the sun, and as all the avail able gaseous space between the earth rind t.ha sun is now fully occupied by the other existing planets in that spacf, when the new planet burns itself off from the sun the want of sufficient ■*aseoua matter for it to roam around m must without foil produce the great disturbance which he warns all men to be prepared for. «» Neither is this trtmendoiM disturbance of the earth and the instruction of all life upon it completely unprecedented," says Pro fessor Corrigan. "A similar detach ment of solar matter by the same means is known by scientists to have occurred 23,000,000 years ago, a period simultaneous with the paleozoic age, at which time all animal and vegetable life then existing on the face of the earth was completely crushed out." The announcement of Professor Cor rigan continues :—" The results of my investigation on this subject indicate that the earth is closely approaching a critical epoch in its career ; yet the day or the hour "no man knoweth," but these results have convinced me that it is imminent. " The law of the series of planetary development from the primitive, condensing, gaseous nebula which I have found, and through which I have derived the mean distances of the bodies aforesaid, indicates that between the mean distance 0.0713 and the present surface of the sun there are f„ur more possible orbits in which planets may move ; but it is probable chat if such intra-mercurial bodies do exist, their dimensions are much less than those of the smallest of the three above described, and it is even probable that the great intensity of the solar radiation in the immediate vicinity of the sun may have prevented the agglomeration of the solar matter there detached into planetary bodies, and caused it to be diffused in space."
