NEAPS EARTH
REGULAR THREE-QUARTER CEN
TURV VISIT OF ASTRAL BODY'
ATTRACTS -MUCH ATTENTION
FROM SCIENTISTS.
WASHINGTON", Sept. 24. As
tronomers at the naval observatory
are not paying much attention to the
return of Halley's comet, which la
now approaching the earth. This I
comet makes an appearance every 75 t
years, and Is the oldest colestlal i
wanderer known to earth-people, j
' least half a dozen young women were
I on their feet expostulating against
such talk from the pulpit.
"You're a nebby thing and ought
to be ashamed of yourself. You
ought to be horsewhipped," said one
of the cholr-slngers to the minister
as she left the choir corner with the
rest. "At least you should resign."
i "1 will, sister. lust as soon as the
congregation can raise the two
months' back salary that Is due me,"
said the minister calmly.
"We will see that you get your
salary and that you keep your prom
ise to quit," shouted a rather stout
lady of the congregation, who was
evidently partial to the powder puff.
And the girls are keeping their
promise. They say that they will
have enough money soon to force
the minister to get out, according to
his promise.
Do not torget that DeWItt's Little
Early Risers are the best pills made.
They are pleasant little pills that are
easy to take and are prompt and
gentle. We sell and recommend
them. Sold by LOCKHART & PAH-80N8.

having been observed, according to
old records, previous to the begin
ning of the' Christian era. Scientific
observations since the inception of
the modern science of astronomy
show that its orbit varied little and
that it may be confidently expected
according to schedule time.
While Washington astronomers
are not taking observation, several
western observatories have made pre-
Tinrntlnna in nhntnprnnh thn comet.
5 j and should their efforts develop any-
t thing of value, the naval observatory
will later take up the comet quest.
With the announcement of every
returning comet superstitious people
Immediately begin to entertain ab
surd fears of what might happen in
case of a collision. While not deny
ing that such a collision is possible,
and that conditions might develop
which would render It disastrous,
most astronomers assert that such a
disaster is so remote as to be almost
unthinkable.
Some scientists believe that life
was extinguished on the earth more
than once by flre3 generated by com
ets and that the growth of human,
animal and vegetable life had to be
gin all over again and took millions
of years to reach its present develop
ment. A comet, in brief, is a bit of some
planet which has cracked off and Is
flying rapidly through space. It is
intensely hot. It generates enormous
heat by its friction going through the
ether. Every such comet, while meas
uring perhaps thousands of miles in
diameter at the head, carries with it
a sort of burning atmosphere of its
own, which precedes it for some dis
tance and trails out behind it for
hundreds of thousands of miles. This
forms what Is known as tl.o "tall" of
the comet.
Some comets hae been declared
to hnve tails millions of miles In
length which stretch across the
heavens.
Meteorites, which are fragments of
comets, have destroyed ships at sea
and made huge holes in the earth.
Many of theso have fallen in the
southwest, which seems to be a favor
ito place for meteorites, and the des
ert of Arizona is pitted with holes
which many minors believe were
mado by such visitors.
Tho earth came in contact with
tho tall of n comet on Juno 30, 1861. 1
Tho tail was IIS degrees long. Many
people thought it caused tho Civil .
War. The comet nppcared low down
toward the horizon In tho Northwest
and went over to tho Southwest. Tho
wliolo heavens as wo seo them are
only ISO degrees. So our comet
struck across almost tho whole heav
ens. Wo wore buried Into tho substance
of that comet's tail 300,000 miles.
And thero was not the slightest thing
by which anybody could know what
happened. There was not oen a
haze. Tho talis of comets nro so
thin, so tenuous, that It Is almost
impossible to put it in words.
Through tho nucleus or head of a
comet tho light of a fifth magnltudo
star passes without any diminution.
Tlioro nro dozens of lost comets
known to nbtronomy. Theso mon
sters of tho sky hovo into sight, as
tonished everybody by their brillian
cy and had their orbits calculated
and then when the nstrononiors pre
dicted they were going to reappear
they novor returned and tho astro
nomers wore covered with confusion.

tacked card-playing among initio
inoiiiliors of IiIh church, tho girls
thought It great fun, hut when In last
Sunday night's sonnon ho attacked i
powder puffs In tho sitnio sontonco ,
with cards, thoro was a row which
almost blossomed Into a riot In
church. Today tho mlnlstor was
forced to resign.
Tho phrase from tho pulpit lint
Sunday night which caused tho ox
plosion was:
"I would nu liof linvo a blacksnako
in my houso as a dock of cards, and
I hnvo my own private opinion of
any woman who uses a powder puff."
