The End of the World.
4 It is interesting to leavn that Professor Falbe, of Vienna, states that November 13h, 1899. will bp the pnd of the world. E u:h period *l 33 years our earth has passed through the tail of a cornel:, causing dense showers of meteorites f but, according to Palhp, on November 13fh 1899, we will strike the head of a comst, and the end will be, as orophepied. by fire. Against this the N.Z. Times says it has been estimated by on -Astronomer that the chance of a com°t striking the earth y one in 280.999.999 ; and further. if it did strike it, nothing would happen more serious than a foor or a showpv of sparks. Falbe and his comet's toil are all astray.
