Revival at Christian Church Drawing to a Close. In looking for the source of Lee’s personal influence we have to go back, I think, to the, habit inherited re spect which the people- of the south paid to social position. It was not born of a feeling of subservience, however, for the poorest “cracker” had an- un- mistakable and unself conscious dignity about him. He always walked up to and faced the highest with an air of equality; No, this latent respect was a natural response on the part of men of low estate to good manners and oft displayed sympathy. Lee by his con nection through birth» and marriage with the most distinguished and best families of Virginia represented the superior class. Moreover, that he was a Lee of Virginia and by marriage the head of the Washington family had from one end of the south to the other a weight which the present commer cial, mammon worshiping age knows or cares but little about. Again, Nature in one of her moods had made him the balanced product in manners and lo< ks of the well bred and aristocratic- traditions of the gen tleman transmitted and ingrafted at an early age through the cavaliers into Virginia life. But for his military prowess he had something vastly more efficacious than ancestry or filling the mold of well bred traditions. He had the generative quality of simple, ef fective greatness—in other words, an unspotted! serenely lofty- character whose qualities were reactive, reach ing every private soldier and making him unconsciously braver and better- as a man.—Morris Schaff in Atlantic.

Hurtling through the air at a speed of 1700 miles a minute, did Halley’s comet crash into some ethereal body and become split in twain? Will the world be startled again by another great body of fire flying through the heavens, a second splint ered piece of Halley’s comet? Professor J. W. Daniels, instructor in astronomy at the Hill Military Acad- amy, has advanced the theory that the above quiries may be facts, basing his. belief on several observations which apparently bear out his contentions, says the Oregonian. “There are a number of reasons why this theory—which, by the way, is only a theory as yet—may be believed,” said Professor Daniels yesterday, regarding his statement that comet A, 1910, may be a part of Halley’s comet. “View ing the phenomena of Halley’s comet has been a keen disappointment to me, as well as other scientifically inclined, by reason of the fact that the strange star is so dimly seen. Never before, according to data, was the comet so hard to see in its flight across the sky. “The fact that it is much less bright than it was believed to be, is one fac tor that leads to the conclusion that a portion of it has been lost. Then again, there is the fact that Halley’s comet is much smaller than it was the first seen over half a century ago. This also leads to the belief that, during its flight, Halley’s comet has collided with some other creature of the air and has become partly disintegrated. GENERAL COURSE FOLLOWED. “Still further bearing toward the theory that only a part of Halley’s comet may now be seen is the fact that comet A, 1910 followed, the same gener al course through space as that which is now being taken by Halley’s discov ery. Certainly there are sufficient grounds for the belief that comet A, 1910, may be but a portion of the er ratic star which is now visible. Of course, this is only a theory of mine, no other scientific man of whom I have knowledge having made the same contention, but I ami convinced that it has-foundation. “Men who study the stars are prone to dream, I admit, but it is through these hazy theories that much has. been definitely established. We can state nothing absolutely regarding the heav enly bodies until observations have borne out the beliefs. Therefore, I do not wish to state this as an absolute fact—although in my own mind I am very much convinced—but I do -believe that scientific research and obervation will, eventually prove that comet A, 1910, was a portion of Halley’s star at one time, becoming-separated from the ma;n body through meeting in collision another star. “Comet A, 1910, should be seen again about 76 years fromnow. Whether anything will have been learned to prove or disprove my contention in the meantime, of course I cannot say.. “I have expected Halley’s comet to split into a number of portions, and it. is not too late yet for such a thing to happen,’’ continued Professor Daniels. “We have i had one comet in the past which broke and resolved itself into five distinct bodies, and there is good reason to believe1 such may happen with Halley’s star. If such action does take place, caused, in all probability, by the influence of the sun, I believe that each portion of the main body will become a distinct comet, having a tail and the Other attributes of Halley’s comet. “As a matter of fact, scientists have been expecting-the eventual entire dis integration of Halley’s comet. This may come when the comet reaches its nearest proximity to the sun, when this body’s influence will tend to draw the star apart.” Engine—35 Horse, 10x14 Left hands side crank, Chandler & Taylor, with all lubricators and oil cups, steam pipe 21-2 inch, exhaust. 3 in, 21-2 inch Gard ner Governa, fly wheel 66 in.xl2 inch face; have run it all the time 225 revo lutions per minute; 80 ft. 12. in. 44 ply rubbers belt.
