D&c
Science Says Nothing Come;
Up, But Author of Weird
Has Been Bombardei
Planetary
Simultaneously with the announce-1
ment by Marconi, the wizard of the,
wireless, that mysterious undecipher*
able signals, "which come from some- j
where outside the earth," have been
noted at wireless stations at intervals
both before and since the war, comes
from the press of a New York publishing
house (Boni & Livingston) a
strange book?a sort of an aerolite
in the biographical world?containing
a remarkable assemblage of authenticated
data of unexplained
things that have happened on this,
earth?not physical, but real physi-l
cal phenomena?marvelous things
that science has either side stepped
or but lamely accounted for and that
seem to point to the possibility that
other worlds have been not merely
trying to signal us, but literally to
bombard us with communications of
one sort of another.
The author of the book, Charles
\ Fort, who has travelled 30,000 miles
and ransacked the scientific reports,
magazines and journals of the world
for his data, does not undertake to
prove this theory, of conscious or unconscious
inter-planetarv communication?from
the very nature of the
phenomena, he says, nothing can be
proved; in fact nothing in the world
is susceptible of absolute and final
proof. His book is a cento of mysterious
and amazing facts that science
has not been able to classify or explain
in a satisfactory manner and so
it has simply set them aside as
"freaks of nature," relegated them
to the scientific purgatories. Hence
the weird title under which the volume
has been launched?"The Book
of the Damned."
v Startling Missiles.
Startling things have come down
out of the skies upon the earth?deluges
of blood, curiously carved
stones, hatches, globular and pyra- ,
midal projectives, living animals,
liuge chunks of ice, strange showers
of animal matter, frogs, fish, snails,
gelatinous matter of seemingly suporterrestrial
origin. Curious nebular
structures, as of venturing voyagers
from other planets, have been seen
hovering in the far atmospheric
spaces?these and a thousand other
things that have at one time and another
been set forth in more or less
scientific records as "strange phenomena
of nature" and then forgotten,
have been marshaled and correlated
by Mr. Fort, to whom they suggest
many wonderful conjectures.
For instance: Is there somewhere
up in the interstellar spaces a "super-Sargasso
sea" of cosmic debris, into
which we crash occasionally and pick
up some fragments? Have some of
the bold crusaders of other planets
penetrated our atmospheric limits
and been turned back for some reason
or another? Have they occasionally
hurled down a few things at us
to let us know how near they were?
Have there been great aerial battles
fought up there between planetary
air sailing armies that have at times
drizzled their bloody fragments upon
the earth? Science?dogmatic science?of
course, says not. Whatever
comes down on this earth anywhere
must have gone up from it
somewhere else. But this "up and
down" theory does not always explain
and the facts adduced in this
"wonderful book," as Theodore
Dreiser calls it, gives a wide field for
curious conjecture. For all of the
facts given, the author cites his authority,
volume, date and page, and
for the most part they are taken from
scientific publications.
Red Sunsets, Blue Moons.
To demonstrate the scientific method
of explanation, take, for instance,
those red sunsets and blue moons
that occurred in 1883 and for several
years afterwards. Four hundred and
ninety-two pages of a report of the
Royal society were given to demonstrate
that they were caused by the
eruption of the volcano of Kratoa,
in the Straits of Sunda, which occurred
August 28, 1883. But the red
sunsets and blue moons occurred seven
years after that and within that
seven years there was an interval of j
several years in which they disappear-,
ed. What became of the volcanic!
i i
dust in those years? And then the;
Annual Register and Knowledge are:
quoted to show that the same at- j
mospheric effects were seen in Trini- j
dad a short time before the eruption j
and in Natal, South Africa, as long |
as six months before Krakatoa blew j
its head off.
Numerous instances are given of j
vast falls of yellow substances upon j
the earth of an apparently extra mun-1
dane character. The scientists said J

they were snows colored with pollen.
Nevertheless, the Monthly Weather
Review-, May 1877, reported a golden
yellow fall of February 27, 1877, at
Peckloh, Germany, in which four
kinds of organism, not pollen, were
the coloring matter?minute things
shaped like arrows, coffee beans,
horns and disks. Might they not have
been symbols, hieroglyphs shattered
from their original shapes by the
earth's atmospheric pressure?
M. Bouls, a French scientist, tells
of a substance, reddish yellow that
fell in quantities amounting to hundreds
of thousands of tons, in France
and Spain, April 30, May 1 and May
2, 1870, that carbonized and spread
the "odor of charred animal matter,"
that was not pollen. Was it the animal
debris of one of hose aerial beetles
in interplanetary space?
A yellow substance fell at Oerace,
Calabria, March 14, 1813. Some of
this substance was collected by Professor
Simenini of Naples. It had an
insipid taste and was described as
"unctuous." When heated it turned
brown, then black, then red. It did
not yield to known classification. And
mark the concomitants of this fall of
yellow substance?loud noises were
heard in the air and stones fell from
the sky when it descended.
Black Rain and Snow.
Black rains and black snows?rains
and snows as black as a deluge of ink
?fell in Ireland, May 14, 1849, over
a district of 400 miles square; again
in April, 1887, again October, 1907.
"It left a most peculiar and disabree
able smell in the air." The scientific
explanation was that it came from
clouds of soot from the manufacturing
towns of England and Wales. But
how about the showers of black rains,
"as black as ink" that fell in Switzerland,
January 20, 1911, and away
down at the Cape of Good Hope, far

Poultry Prescription to Poultry
Raisers. I have 28 hens and had
no eggs from them for over 4
months. After I fed them one and
one-half packages of your prescription
I gathered over 2 dozen
eggs from them. This is a positive
fact, and I advise all poultry raisers
to use Dr. LeGear's Poultry Prescription,
if they wish their hens to
lay."?Miss Carlina Freeman, Harriston,

Dr. LeGear's advice and a few
pennies wisely spent have made layers
out of loafers. You can obtain
the same results. Get a package of
Dr. LeGear's Poultry Prescription
from your dealer. Use it as directed.
It is a tonic which builds up the
stre:: i and vitality of hens, with
out cvcrstimulating or injuring the
egg producing organs. If results are
not entirely satisfactory, return the

In order to enjoy your meals, to do your

Pale, weak, nervous people frequently
need iron to enrich their blood ana to restore

way to supply the iron is to follow the
example of Mr. Clayton Wooten, of Scotland,
Oa.f who used Ziron Iron Tonic and
has this to say about it:
"1 nave taken ziron according to directions
and I can truthfully say that it is a
fine tonic. It has done me all the good.
Since I began taking it, I have gained eight
pounds in weight and enjoy eating three
meals a day. 1 shall do all I can to recommend
Ziron."
