~ f From ne WIlmlnjdoD Star. f -tniM •rtn>*Uf .!' , We find in one of our exchanges * an -article that appeared two or three year* ago in a journal called the Science of Health. It contains a inoat alarming prophecy. in re gard to the raging of famine, and Y pestilence in many portions of the -world. Read in the light furnish ed by tile sad events of the last two years, and it is well calculated to make thoughtful men pon'ter what is said. The famines that have ravaged so feat fully in China, l India, arid other portions of the world, and the pestilence now de vouring so many victims in onrdear South, give a decided color of plaus Utility to. what was said three years ■ ago. ; . n« will copy a few paragraph* from the article referred to, and wise men may reflect and draw their , own conclusions. The Science of , Htii'th Hu id, and, mark yon moi e than two yearn agoi “If tlicre is anything in the science of -Astrological ' trciology,’ I we are approaching one of the ’ most pestilential periods in the earth's history. Since the com mencement of the (Jhnstain era the perihelia oi the four great planets of the Solar System—Jupiter, Sat urn, Uranus and Neptune—have not been coincident. Hut this is about to occur, and, in. the lan guage of Ur. Knapp, who has traced the history of the epidemics that ever aUl.cUd the human rape, -to the pe. elia of these planets, there will soon be ‘a lively time among Inc doctors.’ The the ry is that when o .e or more of the largo planets is near the sun, the temperaliife and couditiun of our atmospiuo.i are so disturbed as to came injurious . vieissitndea of weather, extreme heat, excesaivc ' fhld,' If ruble - rain* anil storiis, prolonged droughts, etc., resulting a in the destruction of crops anil fruits, famine in many places and pestilence among human- beings . and aniu als," — “Dr. Knapp has collected a mass of statistical da:a, alJ going to show that perihelion periods have always been marked by a-i usual mortality, and tliat sickness and deatl| have iuvariably correspon ded with llie number of pianola in perihelion at the same .time. ‘•The revolution of Jupiter around the sun is accomplished in a. little less than twelve years; of Saturn, in a little less than thir. ty years ; of Uranus, iu about "eigh ty four years; and Neptune,’ in about one hundred and sixty-four years, If it is true, therefore, that the perihelia of these planets oc casion atmospheric conditions un favorable to life pestilential peri -j Oils should occur once in a dozen years, and aggravated anil still more wide spread epidemics at longer intervals. In ’gracing the j history of epidemics for more than two thousand years, Dr. Knapp finds the facts in all cases to validate this theory. Thua, iiifbe sixth, and again in the sixteenth century, three- of these platels were c<-incideiuly In perihelion,! and-these wero- the roast pesti lential times of the Christum era." According to this publication, for the tit sV time iii two thousand years irfl four of the planeis named will.be against the earth.
