The man who predicted the coming
of the comet, knew enough of astrono-
my TO date the anticipated advent of the
world-crusher at a time when meteors
most abound. Each night, at a late
hour, for a week past, meteors have APP
peared in unusual numbers and of great
splendOr. Newspaper men sleep little,
and have compensation for this loss of
rest in the visible glOries Of the night,
and whatever the terrOrs Of comets,
most Of us are quite willing to have a
dozen or two each year come bowling
by. Everybody else may, but no news
paper man will, be smashed. We have
sublime faith in our sublime luck.
