MANY PREDICTIONS CONCERNING THE END OF THE WORLD. Theae Propheclea Have Startled the Inhabitants of Thla Old Earth From aa Far Back aa tbe Year HKM)?The Pear of Cometa. In 1521 Jean Stofler, a German, plunged Europe Into terror by predict? ing a universal deluge In 1524 "owing to the conjunction of several planets In a watery sign"?the watery signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Tlsces. At his ominous words thousands fled to the mountains, and others took refuge In boats. Awlnol, a doctor of law and canon of Toulouse, even built a sort of ark on four pillars as a haven of refuge. There was no need of such excitement. No flood came. On the contrary, the season was even calmer and drier than usual. Stofler had, in? deed, made a serious blunder and one for which many of his fellow astrol? ogers, Including Cardau, never par? doned him. |8tofler, however, la only one in a long list of prophets whose predictions In regard to the end of the world have proved utterly false. As far back as tbe year 1000 many communities In Europe were driven half distracted by rumors that tth) day of judgment was close at hand, and again, In 11 SO, whole cities were paralyzed with fright for the same reason. Now and again dur? ing the latter part of the middle ages the same extraordinary phenomenon was witnessed, though In a lessor de? gree, and ever since the modern re? vival of occultism there have not been wanting erratic prophets of tho Jean Stofler type. Years ago a Mr. Baxter created a sensation In England by his prediction that the world would certainly come to an end In 18S7. Thousands believed in him, and great was their surprise when they discovered that he was mis? taken. Yet such is the credulity of human nature that their faith in him I remained unshaken, and, no matter I what year he selected as the tinal one I of the world's existence, they accepted I his prediction as gospel truth. Equally bold, though doubtless not as poouiar as Baxter, is the Abbe I)u pln, cure of the village of Dion, in France, and author of a book with the following extraordinary title: "The grand coup or universal cataclysm will ravage the world between the 10th and 21st of September, 1800, according to the jScrlptures. The prophecies of the Old and New Testaments compare with those of the fathers and with the secrets of La Salette, in which is foretold the great war which will de? stroy nine-tenths of the human race, the comtng of antichrist and his reign, after which the church will triumph over her enemies and the reign of Christ begin on earth." The author fixed September, 1800, as the time when the great "coup," as he call? ed It, would take place, but he added that if it did not take place then it would certainly occur before tho close of 1800. The appearance of comets has fre? quently given rise to similar predic? tions. This was the case when the fa? mous comet of 1080 appeared. Wins? ton ascribed the deluge to its former appearance, and such an excitement did it cause among all classes of the people that Baylo wrote a treatise to prove the absurdity of belief founded on these portents. Mine, do Levlgne, writing at the same time, said: "We have a comet of enormous alle. Its tall is the most beautiful object conceivable. Every person of note Is alarmed and believes that heaven, In? terested in their fate, sends them a warning in this comet. They say that the courtiers of Cardinal Mazarin, who la despaired of by his physielans, be? lieve this prodigy is In horu of his passing away and tell him of the ter? ror with which It has Inspired them. He had the sense to laugh at them and to reply facetiously that the comet did him too much honor." M. Camllle Flammarlon, the distin? guished French astronomer, says on the same subject: "In this century predic? tions concerning the end of the wor'.J have several times been associated with comets. It was announced that the comet of Biels, for example, would iutersect the v.ot iu s orbit on Oct. 20, 18?2. which did as predicted. There was great excitement. Once more the end of things was declared at hand. Humanity was threatened. What was going to happen? The orbit?that Is to say, the path of the earth?had been confounded with the earth itself. The latter was not to reach that point of Its orbit traversed by the comet until Nov. 90, more than a month after tbo comet's passage and the latter was at no time to be within 20.000.000 leagues of us. Once more we got off with a good fright." In his entertaining book. "La Fin du Hondo," M. Klamtnarlou gives a graph? ic description of a collision between the etrtb and a comet which is to take place some time in 'the twenty-fifth century. ' These two heavenly bodies, the earth and the comet," hu writes, "will meet llko two trains rushing liendloug upon each other with resist* less momentum, ns If Impelled lo mu? tnal destruction by an Insatiable rage.

A STORY THAT A DISCUSSION ON RELIGION BROUGHT OUT. It Involved a ( hrlatlan and an Infi? del and a Moat Remarkable Coinci? dence, and the Narrative Pointed a Moral aa Well. The question of religion came up the Other day in the Busy Men's Lunch club, and old Parmesan, who is senior warden of St Pecunia's church and therefore constitutes himself a de fender of the faith, remarked, "You may say what you like, gentlemen, but a religious man is more apt to help those who need it than an infidel." "I am a firm believer in Christiani? ty," remarked Bilson, who has made a million or so in the Swamp during the last few years, "but I take exception to that statement. When it comes to helping a fellow who is down, it's about an even toss between a Chris? tian and an Infidel. You doubt it?" he continued as he saw old Parmesan shake his head. "Well, to prove what I say I will give you an episode in my own life. I came to New York in 1873 with no capital but a country made suit of clothes and a common school ?nlueation. I was a lank looking young fellow, with 'hayseed' written all over me; but, like many another raw coun? try lad, I was irresistibly attracted to the city, where I f expected to strike the combir ition that would lead to fortune and i^rae. But before long my main thought was to keep from starving. I could get no work, and no? body would listen to me when I asked for it. I tried to keep up my courage, but in my heart I would have given anything to be back on the old farm agaiu. "Well, one day I grew especially des? perate. The papers were full of the triumphant success of 'Billy, the Con? verted Bum,' who was holding revivals all over the country. And 1 asked my? self why I, a clean, decent young fel? low, who had never been a 'bum,' should be allowed to starve, while ?Billy' was living on the fat of the land. At first the wild thought came Into my head to start out myself on a career of er?I mean of revivalism un? der the name of 'Charley, the Con? verted Boy Fiend,' and rake in the shekels like 'Billy.' But somehow I felt I couldn't get down as low as that. A brilliant thought struck me, how? ever. I would state the whole thing in an advertisement, more to relieve my feelings than with any hope of getting an answer. "So I scraped enough money together to insert the following in one of the papers: 'If I were a drunken "bum" just taken out of the gutter, scores of kind religious n? ople would stretch out a hand to uelp me. But as I am only a decent and self respecting young man, with no vices or bad habits, I am without work and starving in this great, cruel city/ And I added my initials and address. "The next day I called to see if there might possibly be an answer and got two. The first one I opened read as follows: 'I was touched by your strange advertisement, as I myself was once in the same position. I found help through a noble Christian man, and if you will call and see me I will prove to you that there is a Christian who is able and willing to help you if you are worthy. Ask to see me personally, as I am sorry to say my partner is an in? fidel, and, though a good man, he might not be disposed to look at your ease so kindly.' "My heart jumped with joy on read? ing this kind letter, and for a little while I forgot the other one. But I soon opened it and read as follows: 'I was deeply stirred by the undertone of despair in your advertisement, as I was once as friendless n.i you are. 1 found a start in life through a noble man who, like myself, was an unbe? liever. And if yon will cmII and see me 1 will prove to you that there is an unbeliever who is both able and will? ing to give you a start in life if you are worthy. Ask to see me personally, as my partner is a Christina, and, though a good man. he might not be disposed to look 4)ii your case kindly.' "Wonderful coincidence, wasn't it? But the most wonderful part of the story is yet to be told. These two men were partners. Fach one of them was trying to do a good deed without the knowledge of the other. "The end of the story? Well, that was interesting and remarkable too. After trying in vain to decide to which of these two gentlemen I should make myself known 1 determined to see them together and read the two letters to them. I did so, and you ought to have seen the look of blank surprise that came over the faces of both men as they learned that, though differing so widely in creed, they were at one in acknowledging the religion of humani? ty. They were silent for a few mo? ments, nnd then the Christian, with tears in his eyes, grasped the hand of his partner and said: " 'Brother. I have wronged you. for I have learned that, without knowing it, you are not far from the kingdom of heaven.' *? it is I who have wronged you.' ex? claimed his purtner, 'in assuming that yon would not <>!>cy the teaching of your Master to feed the hungry Mini clothe the naked. Let us hereafter live :is brothers Indeed, even though we may ti"t tie able to profess the same creed And may the unknown Clod whom ignornntly we worship accept ns tit the last.' "These two good men gave me a Start nnd were my dearest friends un? til j died. The moral of it nil? Well. 1 think there Is more goodness in the world than can Im? ensuriued in nny creed, however true."?New York Tribune.
