conv ai8ion m every pur* ui me In 1877 he visited Pern and other parts of South America, crossing the Andes and studying earthquakes and meteorology. The result of his travels was a book entitled “In the Land of In-cas.” He returned home by way of San Francisco and New York.Returning to Styria, he married. Then he went to live in Leipsic, then in Berlin, but is now in Vienna. His reputation as an earthquake prophet, which began in 1870, was greatly strengthened in 1880 in Agram. The city had had a visitation of earthquakes, which seemed as if they would never come to an end. In order to calm the panic among the people, the city authorities asked Professor Falb to come from Vienna to give a series of lectures.He gave the people comforting assurances, but told them there was one critical day yet to be passed, namely, December 16, when there would be a violent shock, though it would not be as bad as some that had preceded it. December 16 passed, and no shock, but exactly at midnight his prophecy was fulfilled, and he himself was almost thrown out of bed. His fame then spread all over Austria, Germany and the world. He is a scientist whose prophecies command serious scientific attention.—New York Recorder.
