Cast summer was warm and dry enough to discourage the farmer gardeners; but, according to the in dications, the coming season will be moro marked for its beat and absence of rain. This prediction, based upon the calculations of the astrologers, is, in n great meas ure, guess work. According to the astrologers, the rela'.ivo posi tion of the planets will be such as to afTeet the atmosphere of our earth. It is expected that suffi cient bent will be reflected on these bodies to evaporate the moisture in the atmosphere, and thus prevent rain. Some of the astrologers make not very comforting prophe cy that our atmosphere will be de stroyed altogether,and that there being no air to temper the rays of the sun, vegetation will be wither ed, the brooks and rivers will dwin dle away, and the earth will become cracked anil Assured, like the sides ol‘*u volcanic mountain These predictions, these gloomy prophets U'fcJTI say, may lead us to l-elicvc that a Ly it. Mother •Sliipton's prophecy had ,ii.’.ip.i f somo foundation after nil. Be this as it may. it is certain that Mother Sbipton lias made a mistake of at least one year in tier calculations. The superintendent of tho Uni t'd States signal-service bureau whose headquarters arc situated u|>- on the roof of the Equitable build ing, was asked what lie thought of the astrological predictions. Shitt ing a huge quib of tobacco from one side of his mouth to the other, so as to enable him to speak more readily, lie exclaimed: j “Stuff anil nonsense I I don’t believe that any living man or worn : all knows nnything about the kind ‘ of weather wo arc going to linve next summer. If I were going to make a prediction I would say that we will have plenty of rain during the coming season.” “Why do you think so ?" “Because Inst summer was a dry one; nnd experience 1ms shown us that it is seldom that we have two consecutive 'seasons alike. The oldest inhabitant will tell you that every alternative year is a ■ good one for fruit and crops. Now I am looking for a season of abun dant harvests nnd luxuriant veget ation, when the land will lie almost ! literally overflowing with milk nnd !honey. j “Is it true that tho cartli is I nearer to the suu than ever lie- ' fore f” j “That is u hard question to an I swer; r. million miles more or less ! in tlui distance, between our plan- ^ et and tho great luminary, is diffi cult to calculate, and oven tho most I skillful astronomers have admitted | that their measurement is to some J extent a matter of guess work.” “Have there been any marked | changes in recent years in tho appearance of the surface of the sun ' “Oh, yes, there have been somo marked changes; astronomers tell us that within the past live years theso spots on the lace or the lum inary have changed to u greater extent than during any provious live years within a century. Whether these changes will or will not affect our atmosphere and bring on dry weather is more than 1 know or will pretend to say. If the atmosphere surrounding the sun is, us some claim, fust disap pearing, it may ho that the solar rays will liecomc more intense, un til tho bout on mu- piunet. is linen- durable and tho heavens are rolled I up like a scroll, lint all this spec- | illation is too deep for me, nnd I j do not care to wade in beyond my 1 depth. The oldtime astrologers, ! in iny opinion, were great hum- ; hugs.” Cluhm has made study for the cuntury. He is , ever, that many ! of the pretensions made by the professors of Ids craft arc akin to l immbuggery. When asked for his . opinion in regard to the weather of tlie coming summer, lie suid; “1 will tell you wlmt the pros- ! pccts arc as Hourly as I can euleu late, from the conjunction of the planets.

You must remember that thcro is a limit to tlie possiblitics of my sciences The Bible, you know, predicts thnt tho world will come to an end, but no date for the groat event is fixed. I)r.

We have room enough for even an increased immigration, and in the development ot our immense re sources there is opportunity for the profitable employment of whatever labor such immigration can furnish; but how to Americanize this great increase to our population, how to make from tlioso accustomed to only Old World theories and ideas, intelligent sovereign citizens, is .a problem, the sol-'tion of which may well tax tho profoundcst wisdom of our legislators.
