END OF THE WORLD l3leIa*?Comct Is Again the Astronomer's Bugaboo?It Will Collide With the Earth November 13th. According to the Austrian astronomer,' lludolph F:?lb, the earth.will be smashed to smithereens next November by contract with Blela's comet, nays the Chicago Inter-Ocean. This Is the same comet which was to have destroyed the world In 1832. Then thcrfi was something like a public panic. It was toM In the press of the day how tlii? astronomer Olbcrs, as a result of :t careful study In advance of th<? comet's movements, had found that Its center would, shortly before midnight on October 29 of that year, cross the earth's orbit. The calculation was not fully understood by the public, and alarmed them enough to make them talk about the forthcoming destruction of our globe. But what Is the earth's orbit? It Is the circle In which the earth moves round the sun. If a ball is projected across.u truck Its shock is only to be dreaded If there is any one passing along the track at the same place and monv.nl. ns the ball. Now, our planet was tin ed to reach the place where the comet would cross its orbit a full four weeks after the comet had come and jjor.t. Therefore there was not a shad oiv of reason for alarm. The journalists of 1S3- confounded the trajectory of the ball with the ball itself. .So much la pointed out by M. Flamamrion. lie declares that even if there had been a contact, earth meeting coming face to face, nothing serious would have occurred, so far. us the earth was concerned. Astronomers know that s'pjrce Is full of comets, flying in every direction around the sun, like moths around a candle, and that the earth, turning around the central star, is imposed to the chance of condng into contact with many of them. But comets are Imponderable bodies, a sort of airy nothing, a mass of gas and vapor. The terrestrial globe can pass through them ?most of them?like a cannon ball through a swarm of Hies. That is what actually happened on June 30, 1S61, according to a calculation by Hind, the highest living authority on comets. The earth passed Into and through the tail of the great comet of that year at about two-thirds Its distance from the nucleus. Nothing happened save a peculiar phosphorescence or illumination of the sky. The sun, though shining, gave but feeble light,. The comet was plainly visible In England at a quarter to s o'clock In the evening during sunshine. and had a much more hazy appearance than on any subsequent evening. Flamniarlon adds another reason for serenity. Blela's comet, whose revoluItlon round the sun Is, or rather was. accomplished in six years and seven months, did encounter the earth on November 27, 1S72. But Blela's comet. If It ever was dangerous, Is no longer so, for It la about dead itself, having been broken Into millions of shooting stars. So far back as 1S46 this comet wan seen to split in two, and these nebulous iwm Doaies continued 10 travel siaeoy side through space for four months, the distance between the fragments slowly increasing. Then they passed out of sight, owing to the distance from the earth which they had obtained. When they returned to perihelion. In 1852, the two portions still retained their individuality, but the distance between them had Increased to about eight times the greatest distance noticed in 1846. Then they entirely disappeared and have never been seen since. What has become of them? Astronomers believe that they have broken up Into a mass of meteors. On November 27, 1872, and again in November, 1SS5, when the earth, in traveling along its own orbit, should have encountered 3 Blela's comet, a wonderful mass of ;l| shooting stars, estimated at 160.000, gs ??c?c duvh xiwa, juuuigiuua ["3 swarm arrived at a point in the heavL'f fn\s corresponding to that which should f? have been occupied, not by the head of the comet ( which, If still extant, would have passed the point In the earth's orbit twelve weeks previously), but by Its tail. There Is no doubt that these meteors, which apparently are keeping more or less together as a compact swarm, are nothing else than the disintegrated material of what was once Blela's comet. Flammarlon, indeed, grants that there might be danger If our earth came Into direct contact with the head of a very large comet. The consequences would differ materially, according to the nature and direction of the shock. It can readily be seen that if a comet came upon us from behind the speed of its shock would be at a minimum, whereas if It met us face to face it woum be at a maximum of 72,000 meters per second. We would doubtless penetrate without any sensible resistance into the nebulous substance of the comet. But If the comet were an unusually large one, then, no matter how feeble the resistance, nor how slight the density of the head of the comet, the passage through the substance by our earth, moving at a speed one hundred and twenty times that of a cannon ball, might, through the natural transformation of movement Into heat, create such a rise In temperature that -,3 our entire- atmosphere would take lire like a bowl of punch. All precedent teaches the startling fact that about even* thirty-three years a grand shooting star shower rains down upon our earth. This phenomIenon was true of 1S66 and of 1S23. Asrtor.nmers contldf-ntly expect that It will be true of 1593. At present the day of the year on which this particular snower is wont to appear is about No vomber 14. November in every year brings us a few meteors belonging to the grand shower, but these fire only stragglers from a mighty host "that visits us in its entirety three times a century. The host is known as the Leonids, from the fact that in all years and through all hours of the night they cross the sky as wo look at them In lines that diverge from a point near the center of the sickle in the constellation Leo. Their radiation from Leo 1b, of course, only an apparent one from our point of view, but It helps to prove that their paths in the air are parallel. Next November 13 the earth will return to the critical point in its orbit, 'vh-ro It crossed the meteoric current, and by that time the whole of the great shoal will generally have swept past and onward along Its own orbit. Sometimes, however, it happens that even In a year the entire shoal has not Passed the critical point. Then the ' arth. passing through the laggards, will be treated to another display of celestial fireworks. By next year, howyer. all will be over until the recurrence I Sore Inngs, pain in the chest and painful breatningaro quickly relioved and i; cured by tho old reliable specific, Dr. Hull's Couch Syrup.

The published report of a I combination of practically all the coal- 1 ers was the ground for the strength in j those properties. Much interest at- j tached to the declaration of the regular j dividends In Sugar. The market waited I until it was announced and then moil- | erate activity appeared. Sugar, after j opening higher and then losing more than 'the earlier gain, rose about four ! points for the day. The large payment | which the government was to make to Southern Pacific on the claim allowed by Conuress lent strength to that property. The frxpectation of favorable legislation lifted Consolidated Gas some live points, there being 11 sympathetic rl?e In other stocks, Including Metropolitan and Brooklyn Transit, which were nbout half as much. The stagnant tone which prevailed the greater part of the session with fluctuations of only % or so was dispelled during the final dealings when the coalers were marked up and there was a sympathetic rise elsewhere.

CHICAGO?Heavy liquidation by longs to-day, owing to world's visible increase Instead of a decrease, caused a decided slump in wheat and May closed l%c lower. Corn left off unchanged and lost J,ic. Pork and ribs advanced 2M^c each and lard The weight accumulating stocks at a season of the year when they ought to be diminishing made wheat weak from the start. The Daily Trade Bulletin, which makes a monthly report of the world's stocks of wheat and Hour, showed In its report for the beginning of the present month the world's visible stocks to be 11,000,000 bushels larger than a year ago, and 5,500,000 bushels more than at the beginning of February. May opened a*c lower at 71%@71%c and made a further decline of inside the next minute. Chicago receipts wur? 4J1 tuiB, ui nmuu uniy uiiu was graded contract. Minneapolis and Dull! th got 399 cars, compared with 334 the same day a year ago. The aggregate at the principal western markets was 580,000 bushels, against 4Sf?,OUO bushels last year. Atlantic port clearances were equal In wheat nnd flour to 563.000 bushels. Liverpool and foreign markets ruled weak at a sharp decline. A dispatch from Buenos Ayres denied that serious damage had been done to wheat in Argentina b{/ the heavy rains, claiming that wheat was for the most part under shelter. When it was seen that nothing in the early news was of a character to sustain or at least improve the chances for a rally, liquidation became general and the price of May slipped off to 70}hC. Some covering of short wheat around that point, however,caused a slight temporary recovery. The price, however, soon had another slump which took it as low as 70VjC. Advices from California said that the crop In k 3c pg-g. ING GUN. 2\v battleships. It shows all the angles i the southern valleys had been completely burned up. Tlir- market firmed up a little on that, May recovering to TOThC. Just at the end of the session a message was received from San Francisco, saying it looked like rain. That caused more selling and a further decline to 7014c, the closing figures being 70K<5>70%c. Light offerings and moderate receipts strengthened corn. There was very little pressure on the market and fluctuations were within a narrow range. Receipts were 319 cars. May began a shade lower at 35*?3T3iiJ6c; rose to 35*1'? 35"?c and closed at 35%c buyers. Covering by shorts and a good cash Inquiry from the east held oats steady within a narrow range. Receipts 143 cars. May opened unchanged at 27%c. improved to 27,Ac, then weakened to anil closed at 27Vic. Diminishing receipts of hogs and a pood cash meat demand strengthened provisions. Trading was chiefly in-the war of changing. May pork opened a ?hade higher at ?9 2".ff0 27*2: advanced to 59 and declined to ?9 27%- at the close. The range in lard and ribs was small.
