AN AMAZING PROPHESY “The time will come, and that pres- ently, when, by making use of the magnetic | waves which permeate the ether which sur- | rounds our world, we shall communicate with the Antipodes.” | This amazing prophesy, which at the time was only a wild guess, was made by | Joseph Glanvill, an English philosopher | ard divine, in a work called “The Vanity of ! Dogmatizing,” published in London in 1661. Whether it be considered prophesy or mere guesswork, his statement came true | with the advent of radio—after about 250 | years, Glanvill was born at Plymouth, Eng- land, in 1636, and became rector of a | church in Essex at the age of 24, the work containing his famous prediction being pro- duced shortly afterward. When he was 30 | years old he became chaplain to King Charles IL. His writings indicate that Glanvill was extremely skeptical about the seientific and, philosophical theories of others, yet he had some fantastic ideas of his own, among them being a firm belief in witchcraft. But witcheraft waa so talk about communicating by magnetic waves might easily have led to the sus- picion that he himself was in league with evil spirits. GERMANS FEAR U. 8.
