The Approaching Comet.

Prot. Benjamin Pierce says he is fully
persuaded that the great comet seen in
South America recently and for which an
anxious outlook has been kept ever since
in this hemisphere, is the comet Of 1913,
once more visiting the sun. If this is 50,
and If the comet becomes visible here. the
year loSO stands chance Of being mem
orable in astronomical annals The com
ct Of 1913 was one of the most wonderful
ever seen Assuming that Prof Pierce's
computation Of this comets previous re-
turns is correct, it has had an astonishing
history. In lO6 it blazed with a bright
ness that was compared to that of the sun
Itself; IN l402 it was 50 brilliant as to be
visible at MONDAY; in 1854 it is said to
have ecllpscd the moon in 1859 it spread
terror among the ignorant throughout the
world, and in 1913 it gave aid and comfort
to the Millerites, and helped to alarm
those who listened to their predictions of
a speedy burning up OF the world. If it
should return this year with its accus-
toned style, it will confirm the faith OF
those who read in the hidden chambers
of the great pyramid, momentous proph-
ecies for 1881. All the visits of this comet,
however, have not been equally brilliant

The Birth of an Elephant.


\ most important event in the zoologi-
cal world occurred in Philadelphia last
week. This was nothing less than the
birth Of a young elephant. 1t is stated
that this IS the first instance Of the kind
that has ever taken place, 50 far as is
known, among these animals in 4 state Of
captivity. Heretofore all theories, writ
ten or unWritten, on the duration Of the
period OF CESSATION, have been more or
less speculative, The one fact that seem
ed we'll established was that the female
elephant would not bear Young in her
captive state, although from time to
time, both in Europe and America, an
nOuncements have gone forth from show
men and others to the effect that they
had reason to believe this theory not
well founded, and expected to he able to
diSprOye it. Nothing ever came of this.
however, and the fact remained until

phant was a thing unknown to natural
science outside the animals native WildS.

large black Asatc elephant, known hy
the attractive name of Elcbe, stood I'M the
centre Of the large stable. with both hind
legs chained to two posts. This precau-
tiOn was absolutely necessary, as will be
shown. At the upper end Of the room,
about a dozen yards from IIebc, stood
six other large elephants with their heads
turned toward her. likewise chained to
posts. 1t was most exciting scene
( among these elephants when the birth
took place.
For months past, Hebe, on account of
her condition. had been chained on the
spot where she stood Wednesday, away
from the other elephants, the room being
always in the care of Il Watchmau OF

the ships were blessed by the priests and being
afterwards exposed to storms, the captain desired
