Show ! CONJUNCTION.? THE PLANETSj . 1 The scientific men of the world are, and have been, much exercised over the great conjunctions; of the planets with the sun, which. is. to take place in 1880. They tell us of epidemics, throat diseases, sudden changes of the 1 ' weather, extremes of beat and cold, and other things whichill1 afflict the haman family. Mr. Mansill of" Rock Island, 111,, talking of the. future says ; "If the positions of the planets affect the temperature of our earth's .fatmos-phere- during the year 1 879, as they have done when in similar positions during the past years, we may expect very erratic seasons during 1879." 'Agreeable to this theory we shall have cool weather set" in early in the autumn of 1878. It will" grow cooler somewhat some-what faster than the mean of thei season sea-son in November and December, with temperature below the mean, cold steady weather through January, with the temperature below the mean, winter win-ter vyill continue through February, followed by a cold March, will have a prospect of Spring about the middle of April while Mercury is about passing its inferior conjunction with the sun, but this will soon pass away and the temperature sink below the average of the season, and will probably remain through May, June and July, and move into hot weather the last of August and September. |
