JOKES PLAYED BY
HALLEY'S COMET
Star Appears in West, but Not
Where Astronomers Say
It Should Be. .
TAIL HITS EARTH EARLY?
Troressor Daniels Believes Passage
of Globe Through Appenaage Is
Day Before Time Set, Arguing
JVom Position of ' Body.
Halley's comet has been discovered
at last, and as a small ball oi diffused
light above the western hills, it proved
to many of the hundreds of people in
Portland who viewed it last night a
source of mixed interest and disap
pointment. The description given of the comet is
that it looks much like a lamp at some
distance away, shinln through thin
cloth. In this and in no other way does
It differ from the appearance of other
tars, for to see its tail last night
would require some stretch of the
Imagination.
The really ;eculiar leature of the
comet is its failure to appear in the
places assigned to it by the astrono
mers, for as seen last night it was
a -out one hour and a half higher in
the sky than it would have been had
It appeared where the scientists de
clared it would be. In other words, it
was an hour and a half later in set
ting than was scheduled.
Professor J. W. Daniels, of this
'City, has observed the star, and
from the fact that it was nearly an
hour and a half higher from the sun
than it should have been, according to
the astronomers. Professor Daniels as
sarts tlat the comet's tail had passed
la earth a day ahead of schedule, or
a May 17.
Frofessor Daniels submitted draw
ings last night, showing the position
of the comet in the sky. Concerning
the comet he gave out the following
statement last night:
professor Daniels Describes Comet.
"After searching the skies in the
more immediate vicinity cf the setting
aun. hundreds of Portland's citizens on
Council Crest Friday evening viewed
the elusive wanderer's head, at an unlooked-for
altitude In the heavens, and
father from the sun by nearly an hour
and 30 minutes than the time sched
uled by mathematicians in astronomy.
"The accompanying cut faithfully
represents the relative positions of sun
and comet's head at the moment of
sunset. The fact that the comet is
now seen in the western skies estab
lishes beyond argument the correctness
of my contention that it had passed
the earth; and . Its great altitude is
likewise proof conclusively that it djd
so some days ago, its great distance
from the sun compelling the conviction
. that the transit occurred certainly as
early as May 18, and further suggesting
that the conjunction of sun, comet and
earth occurred a day earlier than that
date, to-wlt, -May 17.
'This argument is based upon the
errors implied in the difference between
the time set in astronomical tables
for the setting of the comet and the
time of that setting as actually dem
onstrated by the ocular testimony of
hundreds of people Friday night,
watches in hand; a difference of nearly
one and one-half hours.
"Now a day's difference in the posi
tion of the comet relative to the sun
corresponds to about one hour, more
or less, of apparent distance of comet
from sun, and to about seven or eight
degrees of altitude at this point of
l ie comet's ellipse.
Good Vrievv Monday Night.
"In other words, the apparent dis
tance of the comet northwest from the
aun last night was wholly unexpected
and altogether too great to have been
made between May 18 at 8 P. M. and
May 20 at the like hour, a period of
two days, and the difference in the cal
culated time for comet set and that
of its actu-.l setting, as witnessed last
evening from the Crest, corresponds
practically to a difference of about one
day in the comet's solar transit; and
this again argues one day earlier; that
Is, May 17, instead of May 18.
"I am strongly inclined to believe
that this error accounts for the 'con
fusion of the past two or three days
among astronomers relative to the
whereabouts of the comet.
"The presence of a nearly full moon
Friday night forestalled any possibility
of seeing the tail, and there Is little
probability of the tall manifesting its
feeble lines before Monday night, as
the moon will be much brighter for
three or four nights, notwithstanding
Its position in the eastern heavens will
be more favorable for cometary dis
play. If the skies are clear during the
time of lunar eclipse next Monday
night It is quite probable that the
comet will be seen entire while the
moon is in earth's shadow. This, al
though not the final, will be far the
tnost advantageous time for comet
Viewing, as the darkened skies will
afford the pale-blue of the tenuous tall
Its very best background.
"Let me add that an early and long
arch of the eastern skies on the
Morning of May 21 (Saturday), for
which a stay had been made at the
Crest all night, failed to discover to
eye or instrument any suggestion of
any cometary presence, notwithstand
ing a clear, dark sky, the moon having
retired low in the west."

VISITOR OF" SKY DRAWS BY PROFESSOR J. W. DANIELS FRIDAY
NIGHT.
I
TEST MADE AGAIN
Various Fenders Are Tried Out
on Dummies.
ONE COMMITTEEMAN THERE
Mayor Remains but Short Time and
Results of Trial Are Considered
Unsatisfactory to Officials, but
Representative Is Pleased.
Yesterday's final test of streetcar
fenders proved as farcical as all of the
other "final" tests conducted by the City
Council committee, at Twenty-sixth and
DIFFERENT POSITION THAN
IT OUGHT TO BE.
Upshur streets, during the past few
years.
iBut one of the committee members
was present and he came 30 minutes late.
Councilman Lombard, chairman, missed
connections with the automobile that car
ried the dignitaries to the scene where
the helpless dummies were forced to
undergo the terrific crushing given by the
testing cars, and was not present. Coun
cilman Ellis is basking on peaceful
nature's bosom at Collins Springs.
Mayor Simon arrived on time, as usual,
but he saw only three of the tests,
after which he took advantage of a stay
in the proceedings and left for the City
Hall, where he had work to do. Some
other Councilmen were present, but from
all that could be gathered there, will be
no official decision on the fender to be
approved by the Wednesday session of
the Council.
The Nelson, Martin, Brady and the car
company's fenders were tested. Of these,
the Nelson, Brad:.' and car device worked
well, as far as picking up dummies is
concerned, but It is regarded by many
as of little value in determining what
fender will or will not prove a success
in protecting the lives of accident victims.
Councilman Wallace declared that no
"dummy" test Is worth anything; that
it must be an. actual running- test on
cars operating over the lines of the com
pany every day to prove which. If any, is
worthy of adoption.
F. A. Nelson, vice-president and su
pervising master mechanic of the -American
Automatic Fender Company, of Min
neapolis, last evening made :he following
statement regarding the situation in
Pcrtland:
"The demonstration given today shows
what the American automatic air con
trolled fender is capable of, and I am
entirely satisfied with the showing we
made. It must be understood, of course,
that on account of a few sham curves
on the lines in this city, ard One or
two heavy grades, the fenders mua- be
carried at least ten inches .above che
rails here. But this is merely a detail of
construction which our company will
meet In Portland, just as we have met
them in Brooklyn. Cleveland, Jersey Oily
and other places.
"I want to say, alBo, on behalf of
myself and my company, that I greatly
appreciate the courtesy that has been
shown me here both by tho .'ty officials
and the officials of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company. Having
had one or two unfortunate accident
here with my equipment 1 regard it as
a special favor that these tests hive
been continued for me until such time
as I could show what my fender will do,
which I have done at today's demonstra
tion." NEW CARS COME WEST

for only one free public bath tank. It is

parts of the city. Though the plans of
the Park Board contemplate the construc

of the Brunside bridge and was later re
moved to the foot of Taylor street, be

HALLET & DAVIS PIANO COMPANY TO
r AS'THE "PLANS SHOW TEtET NE
EE BUILT. AT. NEPON
Boston Is soon to have an Immense
new factory for the construction of
high-grade pianos, as the Hallet &
Davis Piano Company has just awarded
contracts for an extensive plant to be
constructed on the banks of the Nepon
set River at NeponBet.
The site for tfils new piano factory
is probably one of the finest for its
purpose to be found in the country. It
is within 20 minutes' ride of Boston
City Hall, less than five minutes' walk
from the Neponset station and only
about four minutes' walk from the
Adams-square trolley cars. The build
ing will be on a branch of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road, and the Hallet & Davis Piano
Company has a spur track of more
than 1000 feet in length on its own
property there. It will also have fine
dock facilities, where coal and other
supplies may be brought by vessel and
unloaded upon its own land.
It Is the purpose of the company to
make this new piano factory one of
the finest and best equipped of such
establishments In the world, if not the
very finest. The plans call for an ex
penditure of from J500.000 to $600,000.
The buildings will be of reinf&rced
concrete, with all Interior appointments
of the finest character.

Is owing to the fact that the river water
Is unsanitary, being the repository for

are those, however, who think that at
ieast a temporary bath should be con
structed on the river and in this way
preclude the possibility of probable
drowning of boys.
During the time the free baths were
in operation not one drowning was re
ported. Last year, of the 24 drownings,
10 may be directly attributed to the lack
of them. All bathing In the river out
side of the baths was prohibited. When
the City Park tanks are completed. It Is
the plan to have an ordinance passed to
that effect. In this way accidental drown

Boston has alwayi enjoyed a reputa
