THE Death RATE or

Our country is getting to be fearfully
alarming, the average Of life being less
ened every year, without any reasonable
cause, death resulting generally from the
most Insignificant origin. At this season
of the year especially. cUld is such q
common thing that in the hurry of every
day life we are apt to overlook the dam
gers attending it and often find too late,
that Fever or Lung trouble has already
set in. Thousands lose their lives in
this way every winter, while had Bos-
chefs German Syrup been taken, q cure
would have resulted, and . large bill
from . doctor been advoided. For all
diseases Of the Throat and Lungs, Boz
chec's German Syrup has proven itself to
to be the greatest discovery of its kind
in medicine. Every Druggist in this
country will tell you Of its wonderful
Effect. Over $4,000 bottles sold last
year without single failure known.

Near Approach Of Comets.

Among the cases of close APP.
proach of comets to our globe, says
Nature, there are two in which we
are able to fix the actual degree of
approximation with certainly, the
orbits at the time having been de-
termined with great precision. The
first is that of the comet of 1770,
treated Of by Laplace in the Meca-
nique Celeste According to Clau-
sens elaborate investigation, in
which the effect of the earth's at
traction is included, the comet at
5:t6 p NJ, Greenwich time on Ju'y
1st, was distant only 0.0l509 of the
earth's mean distance from the
sun, or 100000 miles, and it is the
closest approach of one of these
bodies of which we have any GER
tain knowledge. On this evening
its apparent diameter, as measured
by Messier, was not less than two
and half degrees, or nearly five
times the apparent diameter OF the
moon. At this time the comet was
traversing the constellation Draco.
The second case is that of Biela's
comet at its appearance in 1905.
AT 8 P. NJ. on December 9th, just as
before it descended below the hori-
zon of Europe, and almost at the
time of the last observation by
Thulis, at Marseilles, the comet
was distant 0.0366, or about $3.50, 900
miles. There can be little doubt
that the comets of 58S, 1866, 1472,
and others passed near the earth,
but the elements of their orbits
are not determinable within any
thing like close limits. The first
comet of 1743, for which Clausen
assigned an elliptical object, was
also near us, but the orbit in this
