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.
J. M. UPTON.
A feller never can tell when ho
is going to be "discovered." For in
stance, yesterday Milo Sumner re
marked "I have been reading your
verses and they remind me of those
from tho pens of our great poets-r-they
are so different."

UNCLE SAM'S SWEET TOOTH
Candy Hill For Country During Year
of 11)09 Reached 8500,000,000.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21. 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. Tho
