Four Comets Now Visible.

IT is quite unusual to have four comets
in the sky at once, as is the case at
present. The first of the four is Sche-
berle's comet, which was discovered
last April and is now receding from the
sun, after having passed behind it. The
second is Faye's comet; small periodic
comet, which makes it's circuit once in
five and a half years. 1t is now fast
passing from view and visible only to
the largest telescopes, after short visit
under unfavorable circumstances. The
third comet is the one discovered, on
September goth, by Hartwie, at Stras-
burg, and on the next evening, at Ann
Arbor, by Harrington. When first
seen, it was very bright for telescope
comet, and even visible to the naked
eye, with tail some two degrees long.
Its spectrum has been examined, and
found to be just like that of most other
CONSEQUENTLY identical with the,
banded spectrum seen at the base of
coal-gas flame. The comet when first
seen had passed its perihelion, and has
been continually growing fainter, until
now in the moonlight It is an insignia
cant object. The fourth comet is the
one discovered in the Constellation of
Pegasus, by Swift, of Rochester, on the
night of October 10-11. 1t is described
by the discoverer as faint but very
large. and moving very slowly toward
the north and west. The moonlight
is so troublesome that as yet astrono-
mers, so far as known to the writer,
have failed to get any observations on
it. According to the computations of
Encke, the comet of 1912 had an orbit
which would bring it around in 70.7
years, and, as this period is considera-
bly, uncertain, its return is looked for
almost any time. Until the orbits of
the new comets are computed, it is inn
possible to say whether one of them
may not be this object. 1t was not,
however, in 1912 anything but tele.

Mince.Pie and DESTINY.

WITH the appearance of the oyster
the mince-pie evolves itself out of the
vastly. deep, and it's old familiar name
again decorates the menus of our res
taurants. Justice never has been done
to this dish, and this is probably why it
wreaks itself upon the human race. It
is triumph of eclecticism, cosmopol-
itan dainty which has chosen it's sub
stances from the four quarters of the
globe, and which is graved with re-
spectacle richness, an oily, sleek fat
ness redolent of high living, dyspepsia
and govt. Everybody makes fun of the
mince- pie, even those who eat it most
readily, and it is currently believed that
all possible jokes about its makeup
were exhausted before the war, but
nearly everybody eats it. Some appar-
entity happy in the possession of cop
per-bottomed stomachs thrive upon the
pie; others are simply pale and sicklied
slaves of habit as hard to break off as
the use of opium. When man or
boy gets the custom fastened upon
him he is gone. No one. knows
the amount of mince-meat daily assimi-
lated into the St. Louis system, but an
idea of the quantity can be gained from
the fact that it is invariably the first
article exhausted on the bill of fare in
every restaurant where it is sold. The
waiter will inform you sadly that the
mince-pie is all out in nine cases out of
ten when you are late for dinner. No
body ever heard of the apple-pie being
exhausted, or the sago pudding. This
fatal mania for mince-pie has a queer
history, and is working out sine ular
destiny. In two or three centuries it
will have utterly changed the American
character and person; it will alter our
civilization. weaken our morals and
diminish the calves of our legs. It is
even now our National dish, as poker
is our National game and politics our
National business. And it need sur
prise no one if our harmonic equivalent
for the roast beef of Old England fifty
years from now will be the mince-meat
of OLD America. We are gradually
coming to this, and there is no use in
lodging the issue.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
match.

There were also some wonderful pearls
and rubies. The most noted pearl
weighed twenty-seven carats and was
valued at forty thousand dollars; and
there was necklace of twenty-five
pearls, valued at two hundred thousand
dollars. A ruby of fifty-six carat and
another OF twenty-five were greatly adj
mired; not to speak of a bewildering
number of very fine gems of less i'm
portance.
Such were the crown Jewels of France
in 1871, the last year. of the ancient
monarchy. They were many thousands
in number and were estimated to be
worth two hundred millions of francs.
In that year of excitement and terror
the revolutionary party were already
beginning to think of utilizing those
gllttering treasures, and were quite de-
termined that the KING and his Austrian
wife should not carry them off. The
royal jewels were much in peoples
minds in those terrible days, and there
were rumors af1oat of the arrest of
fugitives with trunks full of gems, and
of boats floating down the Seine loaded
with the most magnificent diamonds.
1t was, indeed, time to look after these
treasures. During the day of riot and
confusion following the tenth of August,
1882, when all authority was suspended,
the whole crowd Of pickpockets.
burglars and tramps of Paris surrounded
the Repository where they were kept,
and stole nearly every jewel of any
value. When order was restored, this
wonderful collection had nearly disap-
peared; the few smaller stones left
being worth about forty thousand dol
lars. Proclamation was made, and pro-
ceedings were instituted. In the course
OF that year, about million francs
worth were recovered by the police;
and, four years after, the superb Regent
was found, as it is said, buried in the
beam OF the attic of an old house in
Paris: At least it was recovered by a
noted detective, who was aftarward
promoted to be Chief of Police. Such a
diamond would have been of no value
whatever to thief, as it was familiar
object to every person in the world
able to buy it.
During the reign of Napoleon, the
Regent was inserted in the end of the
hilt of his sword of State. Upon his
return from Elba, Louis XVIII. carried
off the crown jewels, but brought them
back again after Waterloo. The value
OF the collection at the present mo-
ment, according to the estimate of Nj.
Turquet, is about four millions of dol
lars; of which he proposes to sell six
hundred thousand dollars worth. This
large sum well invested will yield about
twenty thousand dollars a year for the
purchase of works of art.
A curious circumstance is that most
OF the fifty-nine sapphires which dec
GRATED the crown worn by Louis XVIII.
and Charles x. have been discovered
to be false. One of the ancient crowns,
which is to be preserved for its historic
interest, is composed of five thousand
five hundred gems, and there is a
sword which is decorated with 1869
gems.-Janaes Parton, IN N. Y Ledqer.
