TEE EAETH'S DESTRUCTION GIGANTIC PLANET MAY BE HURLED FROM THE SUN. Prof. Hererlas* J. < arrlzaa Says It May Orrur Al .tux .Momeul - Lea^tas A» IroaoDirrs 411 Over Ike World Are Malrlilns Ihe Orbs Day. In 1 new world aixnit to burst forth from tike hua ! According toiiie discoveries made by Prof. .Severinus J. Corrigan, of the â-  Goodsell Ol.servatory. this phenomena ^may occur at any moment. The pro- ) feasor states in bia report that this I important solar eveot will be accom- .panied with terrific explosions, which I will prodiice/ great disturlxijices throughout the entire solar system^od partiouLarly on the earth, to such an extent thut all lorms of life on land and water will be destroyed. Scienti- fic men ihave figured it out that a Ire- meoidous mass of matter was hurled from the sun L'3.000,000 years ago. In that remote period this world was theiu. according to the same authorities, in ftxistenie. It was thut era known as the Ptaloozic aga when that solar er- uption took place. All animal and veg- etable life thrn exitting on the face of the earth v^-as completely crushed out. I>urtng the past year aslrononiera in all parts of the world have tjeen in- vestigating the pei-uliar spots that are daily becoming more prominent on the sun. i.«ading astrooDmers as a re- sult of their researches are of the op- iuKMi that some remarkable eruption is aljowt to take place on the faoe of tbie sun. It is w-ell ksoiwn among the astron- omers tiuit this earth, some miUiiwid of years ago was displaced from the sun. The famuKis discovery two years ago of the strange s«dar element, helium, in the roi-ks of the earth was a com- mon prixjd" of the substantial identity of the two Iwvliea, the aiun and the earth. lleliMm oti the ^rth shows a mark of solar parentage, like a peou- liur straim; in the blood of an animal. All astrouiomers agree thut all the pUmets bad their oiigiu from the sun. The earth is auppooed u> have had iits birth from the body of the sun when the latter was so expanded that it oc- cupied aU THK HiMPTY SP.WE. now Ihvuveen it and our globe. Later o«i \ ciuis. and afterward Mercury is- sued from the slowly contracting orb of day. A.II liiese plam-ts proliably fiist uppe.ired .n the shape of rings surrounding lliei sun. and were n -t -se- parated with great force from llie par- ent iKxIy. iNwv. however, the sun has become compacted, and the e.xplosive en- ergies are stored up in a manner that oould ni>ti exist when the sun was ex- lia.niled over so vast a space as that whiih it filled at the time 1 be earth was "brought into existence. 'Ihe separaii.m o.^vast molten ma.s.s, probably ma^iiy times larger than this gl«>lxs frtMU thp sun would, no doubt, produce effe .^ that might easiiy make tivemaelvos felt across m;uiy milliions of miles* of space. Men of science have been, until lately, of the opinion thit as a body; the sun had pass^-d through all Ihe more violent sUgea. uud had entered upon a steady uair.* of radi- ation and slow ctKiling. leading ulti- uutely. ui some l.il lions of yo>irs, in a placid manner <o gradual extinction in oold aoul gliHim. i ius view of astrou- tuiiers h.iVB led many luoderu thinkers to reject utterly Ihe pnn'hecies of the tVripiurcvs tliut the earth will be de- stroyed by lire.

Prof. Porter of th* Cint^innati 01> aerivatory, when seen in reference bo the new planet, said ; "Astronoaners the world over havs lieen investigating a process of erup- tLon now under way on the solar sur- face!. But all this talk of Prof. Cor- rigan and others about the destmo- rig.ia and others ainat the DFSTRUKrnDN OF TH£ EARTH, wheui that event takes place Is all boah. Such a thing may happen without us eveui knosving.
