COMING NEARER-If the earth ever col
lides with Bca's double comet, as some as
tronomers have supposed, the crisis cannot
be far distant. The comet is coming toward
the earth at speed considerably greater than
tina. of Flora Temple. just now it is hardly
worth while searching for it with an opera
glass. IL is not yet sufficiently near us to be
discerned with the telescope, its present dis
tance being about one hundred millions of
miles. and its position near the left arm of
Andromcda. 1t is now close to the bright
star Markah one of the four, bright lumina-
ries which form the well-known square of
Pegasus. 1t will then pursue southerly
course, crossing the celestial square about the
middle of December. Sing ulary enough, it
then crosses the old path followed in 1916,
and near po'ht where it was then observed
to separate into two comets. 1t will continue
to approach the earth till the end Of February
when its distance from US will be only
eighteen millions of miles. At that time it
will, however, have advanced far into the
Southern heavens. and disappeared from view
here and in higher latitudes.

tant. They have bridged rivers and creeks,
and gorges, have climbed to the submits of
lofty mountains, and established the highest
railroad point in tho world, have tunnelcd
huge masses of rock and earth, and over
come all the obstacles offered by the great
natural barrier between the East and W est
They have established speedy and safe
mode of transit between the Chesapeake and
the Ohio. Six passenger trains pass over
this entire route every day, besides large
number of freight trains. From the date of
its organization to the present time the com
pany has exhibited the Same uLtiring zeal,

crations. Recognizing the necessity arising

to meet the demand for transportation Not

road was so often damaged by the invasion OF
