Here it is the eve of S t Patrick, and nobody on the earth has yet tread npon the tail of that comet. Seriously, if Prof. Matteucci had given as much study to astronomy as he lias to the characteristics of volcanoes he would not worry, and would refrain from giving others occasion to do so. The earth passed through the tail of a comet Feb. 28, 1899, and in 1861 dashed the train of one several hundred thousand miles thick without the slightest harm. Prof. C. A. Yonng, one ol the highest authorities on such sub jects, says that a small star can be perceived without trouble through a oomet 100,000 miles thick. The best elew to the composition of a comets nucleus is furnished by a meteor shower, which occurs when the earth crosses the path of a comet which has disintegrated and lost its luminous envelope. Meteors are bits of metal or stone which remain invisible until they enter the atmosphere, ¡friction ren ders the surface white hot. The great majority are so small that they are consumed, and reduced to dust, (aq was the case to which we refer in Feb. 1899), before reaching the ground. The wonderful scarcity of meteoric stones which survive the ordeal because they are large enough, and the comparative insig nificance of such specimens, indi cate bow small is the danger from comets. With three known excep tions well authenticated, Australia, Oregon and Idaho, to which The Observer reoently gave the facts, it appears Strange that the larger meteories strike either the sea or an almost uninhabited region on the laud. Those which reach the latter may be, and sometimes are, found long afterward. There seems to be bat one record of actual damage which they ever indicted—the one tailing in Linn comity, Oregon, last month, partly demolished a barn where it sunk in the earth. (From the Church Herald.) We’ve put a fine addition on the gx>d old church at home; It’s juat the latest kilter, with a gallery and dome; It seats a thousand people—finest church in all the town; • And when it was dedicated, why; we planked ten thousand down; That is: We paid five thousand, every deacon did his best; And the Ladies’ Aid Society promised all the rest. An alienist declares that most men who take one drink of modern whisky become insane. But some men will insist that they must have at least a dollar and a half» worth, at a bit a drink, iwfore they’re real good and crazy.

It is not a scheme that qwing to its complexity can only be ap plied to a garden spot. It oan be used on a half-section farm with little if any more expense of. labor and machinery than is required to culti vate the same amount of ground anywhere. The principles applied to an eastern farm that we use on our experiment farms in Colorado, would greatly increase the yield from those farina. A BOB d Too Much A gitation. H. W. Campbell, the man who i» responsible for all this dry farm ing bombast, says that the system is really misnamed.
