During the past several weeks con­
struction work has been progressing
on the Schoor Memorial in the local
cemetery and the first o f this week
saw its completion.
The field o f the lot- has a protecting
coat o f heavy cement with a very low
lawn-wall border. On special slabs
arc the several stones’ and 'urns; the
latter containing growing flowers.
Over another slab is a large gl^ss
case, this containing -flowers also, be­
sides a recording tablet. The whole
being very complete and harmonious
in setting and outline.
Construction work was done by
Dave Hovendon and George Zeek.

until it was discovered that the pres­
sure o f sunlight acting on minutely
small particles had'm ore effect than^
even the gravity o f such a body as
the earth, that the real secret became
known. Thus, when minute particles
are driven from the earth by sun­
light, larger particles may be dfiyen
from the heads o f comets, which, as
we have previously shown, have less
attractive power than the . earth.
Comet tails are not dense, in fact, it
has been demonstrated by experi­
ment and subsequently proven by
direct observation that their density
is less than the air density in the
lowest vaccum obtainable.
Long
straight comet tails have been de­
termined as composed chiefly o f hy­
drogen, while the short ‘ ‘ bushy ’ ’
tails are mixtures o f metalic vapors
such as sodium and iron, on which
sunlight lias less effect. Long curved
tails are composed mainly o f hydro­
carbons. It becomes obvious, then,
that one comet may have several
tails and on searching we discover in
old astronomical records an account
o f a six tailed comet which appeared
during the year 1774.
W inneck’s Comet, which is due to
reach perihelion during the latter
part o f June, is known as a short
period comet. While it is expected
that the earth will encounter its tail,
no harmful or other detrimental ef­
fects are looked for since the air is
deemed sufficiently dense, (thick) to
assimilate larger quantities o f the
characteristic “ ta il” gases than we
are ever likely to meet. It is known
that the earth has on several previ­
ous occasions “ past directly thru
Such tail gases without experiencing
the least harm.”
So far as actual
collision is'' concerned, when we con­
sider the awful distances existing be­
tween planets, sun and stars, and the
fact that the earth moves not only
around (18.47 miles per .second) but
with the. sun in its journey (12.4
(arrhenius) miles per second) around'
its primary, the said chances o f an y
collision appear insignificantly small,
in fact it may be computed to be as
small as 1 in 15 million.
Astronomers are agreed that should
