COMET OUR GUEST FOR 200 YEARS; WHY FEAR IT? SAN JOSE, Cal., Feb. 21. Pro fessor Ricard of Santa Clara college, says, in reference to tho question as to whether there Is danger of the hydrocyanic gas from Halley's com et: "Tho best argument against any danger to be apprehended from Hal ley's comet next April or May Is that the same comet has been our guest for over 2,000 years and that it has not yet been shown that any poison ing occurred. Very true, there has been certain marvelous coincidences between the comet's appearance and wars and epidemics. But wars cer tainly are not due to tho comet, and epidemics have been very frequent here and there in various parts of the world, oven when there were no comets In sight, and no one ever thought of fathering them on the comets. "The origin of the popular super stition concerning the damaging ef fects of comets' tails has been duo to a very false but natural method of reasoning. It is that when we see two events happening together, especially when they are extraordin ary, one of them near and the other far and more mysterious, we link them together as cause and effect. Even supposing that tho comet's tall contains cyanogen, it may be In such a rarefied condition that billions of men could pass through It without harm. "And even supposing that the highly attenuated cyanogen of the comet's tall came to combine with the earth's atmosphere, the question remains to be decided what sort of combination it would be. For it is well-known that certain combina tions of tho most deadly deleterous elements are not only harmless, but will be greatly benefiting, as for in stance, prussic acid in peach leaves not to mention other examples well known to chemistry." SHORT WEIGHT BUTTER. Editor Times: It has seemed to me that the final word in the matter, of the short weight butter fraud has not been said. It may have been "business," but being without "warrant of trade con ditions, and thus necessarily inspired by simple lust for gain, tho theft was peculiarly dishonorable, despicable and contemptible.

That tho United States has the most expen sive tooth in the world and that Now York consumes more sweets than any other municipality on earth nro two facts indicated by tho compila tion of figures hero which show that tho whole country during the last year paid $500,000,000 for Its candy bill of which this city, with one-sixteenth of the total population, con tributed ?50, 000,000, or one-tenth of tho whole amount. During 190S this country con sumed as much candy as all tho rest of the world put together, but dur ing 1909 it ate twice as much. Strango as it may seem, the foreign immigrant is tho greatest eater of candy in America. In New York fully half of the city's candy bill Is paid by the men, women and children of tho east side tenement district. The poor always eat tho most candy, partly because it is so satisfying and more becauso it tastes so much better than their ordinary food. If all the candy which New York consumes during a year had to bo made outside of tho city and brought in by freight, it would requlro more than 12,500 freight cars In which to ship it. If tho whole amount had to be moved at onco tho train neces sary to transport it would reach from New York boyond Albany.
