THE DREADED DAY. PROBABLE PRANKS OF THE PLANETS—CANA- DIAN ASTRONOMER’S VIEW @F THK COMING CONVULSION—HOW SsCiGNTISTS CAN DIP INTO THE FUTURE.

(From the Quebec Gazette.) Hearing of the arrival in town of one of

our mest intelligent Canadian astronemers /

—ene in whose epinion and judgment the publie would have confidence—-we sent eur reporter to inquire as to the nature and extent of our doem on June 19th. The following is a brief reswme of the conversa- tien :—

Reporter—What is your opinion cs to our fate on the 19th instant? Is our earth to be destroyed by bursting up, by falling inte the sun, being struck by a comet, or is the deluge of Noah te return again?

Astronomer—If you will look at a map ef the solar system, you will see an im- mense space between the orbits ef Mars and Jupiter, a space many times greater than that between the orbits of any other of twe adjacent planets. Dr. Olbers, the astronomer, eriginated the idea that a great werld once revolved there, and that it burst and produced the form asteroids Ceres, Pallas, Festa and Juna. But that is all nonsense. Me saw an effect and he guessed a cause—like a great many guess the earth will be destroyed the 19th June— | without having any reason for it.

Reporter—Might not the earth be de stroyed /

Astronomer.—-What will destroy it! Dr. Whiston tried to account for the deluge of Noah by imagining that the earth was struck by a comet. He thought he saw the result ef the strokein the flattened cendition of Siberia, where he supposed the assaulting world to have met the earth. But peeple then thought that the deluge was universal, but ne one has such an idea now. Hugh Muiiler and other writers have settled that question. As to the earth falling into the sun, why it is impossible.

Reperter—Was it not escertained by the transit of Venus that during the last him- dred years the earth had approached 7,000, - 000 miles nearer the sun?

Astronomer.—It was not so ascertained. It was mersly found that the ealculation in the times ef Captain Cook were inaecurate, owing to the defective astronomical insiru- ments in use at thattime. The earth has not approached the sun a single inch in the last century.

Reporter— Hew de you know ?

Astronomer—By mathematical calcula- tion, which ne man who knows common arithmetic can dispute. The time whena solar or lunar eclipse will eccur is calculated at the Royal Observatory, Greenwieh, fifty years before the event is to take place, and the eclipse always eceurs at the very second recorded by the astronomer. Jf the earth had approached the sun within fifty years, the eclipse weuld bea certain num- ber of minutes er hours earlier than ealcul- ated aecerding to the distance the earth had approached the sun. Why the earth could not fali into the sun even if she were to stop in her erbit. She would doubtless be attracted towards him—would rush upon him with aspeed of a million of miles per hour, but the same repelling power of the sun that repels the cemets weuld repel her, and in a few days she would be set back again in her old orbit, travelling with the same uniformity and precision as before.

That very law that moulds a tear, And bids it trickle from its source, That law preserves the earth a sphere And guides the planets in their course.

Reperter—I thought shat there were such things as dead planets, and I know of neth- ing more calculated te strike them dead tham a comet or a tumble inte the sun’?

Astronomer—Mr. Proctor is an adept at preaching abeut dead planets, his faver- ite example being the meen. I have sev- eral times reproved him in public for this, but he goes on with the same gait and cheerfulness as before. I suppose he thinks nething pleases the people more than to be teld of some astronemical wonder—that the earth was once struck by a comet—that she is gradually falling into the sun, and that the moon is dead. He says he knows by the appearance of the moen that there is no animal er vegetable life upon her sur- face. He knows nothing of the kind. We never see but one side ef the meon, and this may be their Sahara, if indeed it is barren, which he dees not know. If the Dervis had been only ene side of the camel he might have cencluded that the load con- sisted entirely of wheat, net thinking of the honey on the ether side. Mr. Proctor imagines all this desolation by first conclud- ing that the moon has ne atmosphere. Why, her atmosphere is the only means by which she becomes visible, the sun’s rays developing light by passing throughit. No thoughtful astronomer now imagines that light exists throughout space, but only in the atmosphere of the planets.

Reporter—Then I take it that we are not liable to any calamity en the 19th ef June ?

Astronomer—That is altogether another question. :

Reporter—Then you think there is an exeiting event in store for us!

Astronomer—You kaow this earth is a huge ball, that it turms reund every 24 hours, and thatit turns towards the east. We say the sun rises, but it does not rise. The earth turns towards the east, and when she turns so far around that the sun ap- pears, we say it rises. Now the moon, the sun, and all the heavenly bedies, exert their attractive power upon the earth, and the water on “eur planet is heaped up cn the side of the earth next them. Here is the cause of the tides. The earth, I have said, turns towerds the east, but as this heap—we will sxy the one made by the moon—fellows tis heavenly body that makes it, it is always travelling west. When the heavenly budies—the sun, the moon and the planets—are all scattered around the earth, each one having its heap of waters on the side of the earth next it,these heaps are all small; for the water of the

get inte a line, their heaps go together and forta one, that is when we have spring or hivh tides,

Reporter—Oh! T see. It is from the tides you apprehend the danger on the 1th June?

Astrenomer—That is the chief danger.

Reporter—Will the tides be high, and where will be the most danger.

- Astrenomer—You can see from what I have said that the tides will be high, for not only will the sun and moon be on the same side of the earth, but all the planets ef the solar system, so that we will have the high- est tides that have oceurred in the last five hundred years. Yeon ask where the great- est danger will be? Let us look at a map aad we will easily see. (Preduces a map.) I have told you the tidal wave runs west, Here is the danger (pointing te the West Indies). You see by the position ofthe twe Americas, the Atlantic Ocean lies ‘in the form of a wedge between them. |The tidal wave running west, is gradually more and more contrasted in its movements west ward, and by the time the wave of June 19th reaches the West Indies, and the open harbors along the Southern jStates, I judge its violence will be great. It is hard to say what the effect will be, but I fear that even some of the cities of Cuba, Jamaica and? of the other Islands will be swept away, or perhaps destroyed by the terrible hurricane that will sweep over that part ef the world. The coasts of the Carolinas and of Georgia will especially suffer. To the reflected tide the Bay of Fundy will be greatly exposed. The shipping in St. John, N. B., harbor will suffer severely from the terrible hurri- cine—more terrible than the Saxeby gale— that will rage from the south. 1 suspect the 18th, 19th and 20th June will be very cold at Ottawa.

Reporter—What other places will likely suffer from this tidal wave—the west coast of the Americas ? ,

Astrenomer—There will be litile or no tide there. The highest will occur in the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, in the Straits, of Babelinandel and the Bay of Bengal. But these will net equal in fmy those of the English Channel, the Bay of Biseay and the Bristol Channel. Tell your friends who own ships te seek shelter in Halifax or Bos- ton harbors, or any other that has a small opening into the sea, and that net in the direction of the tidal wave.

Self-Sacrifice. Self sacrifiee is at the roo: of all the blos- soms of goodness that have survived the wreck ef paradise. There never Was a heart but had gleams of it. Shining at times in some royal natures diffusive as the light of day witheut clouds, there is no life so dark and clouded but it sends a golden shaft through some opening rift.

To be great hearted, for the love we bear

to our. Master, and in’ imitation of him whose life and death were self-sacrifiee. If we are to follow, we must, like him, bear a cross. It has been so from the beginning. Call the dead roll ef the world’s werthies—its prephets, apostles, martyrs, and saints, the great teachers of mankind, the architects of our liberties, the heroes of our civilisation, the ministering angels who have blessed the poor, the sick, the dying and the helpless. Has not the measure of their goodness been that of self-denial? They have suffered, that ethers might sufier less ; they have died that others might live ; they have de- fended human rights by enduring unspeak- able wrengs—the tears and bloed. Love, like the fabled bird, pierces his own bosom te feed his loved ones.

is not heaven itself reached through death * The blessed one entered not into his glery until he had been erucified. The leaders of mankind have had to tread a blackened and scerched path of suffering, ana we enter into their labors without their serrows. ‘White robes of earthly saintship, like those of heaven, are only gained throngh much tribu- lation, Everything good cests self-denial.
