Prof. Knapp's Terrible Prediction.

THE fact that so many fish are dying off the coast of Florida calls to mind the awful prediction of Professor Knapp. From the juxtaposition of certain planets to our earth he predicts that one-half of the population of the world including man and animals, and even vegetable life, will perish before 1880. In a lecture delivered several years ago he said that this desolation would commence by the fish of the sea dying, and pestilence and famine occurring in more southern latitude. The famine in China and the yellow fever scourge in the South, and now the fearful pestilence among the fishes in Southern waters look like so many steps in fulfillment of Professor Knapp's prophecies.—East Florida Banner.
