The Comet.

The weather, which has been thoroughly
discussed ever since it was invented, and
Mr.. Conkling who has been much talked
over ever since he resigned, must give place
for brief time to new topic of converse
tion. The talk nowadays is all about the
comet. Each asks the other if he saw her
last night, and bores her interlocutor with
calculations as to the length of her trail,
computations of the duration of her visit,
and disputes as to whether the visitor of
1907 or 1912 is now paying us call and
Haunting her train in the heavens.
The comet is advertised to make her ap-
pearance every evening until further notice.
But those low-down fellows, the clouds,
have blocked the doorway, and excluded us
from sight of the performance, most of
the time since the brilliant and erratic star
began her engagement,
The lorgnettes from the upper boxes have
however been brought to bear upon the in
FAINT phenomenon, and the results of the OBJ
servation are these: The nucleus, or body
proper, is about 100 miles in diameter. The
costume worn is ravishing and in the ex-
treme of style. The envelope about the
head, or the hat, is of poke fashion, and
about 10000 miles long. The train is about
100000 miles long Astronomer Hark-
ness says this clumsy old earth stepped on it
the goth instant. No rent, however, is ap-
parent. The conspicuousness of the cos
tune is unquestionable, for though its fair
wearer is 3O,00O,O0O miles away from us, she
is plainly to be seen by all. There is moth
ing like dress to set one Off Like all pro-
fessional beauties, the comet has been pho
tographed, and pictures of her will soon
make their appearance in shop windows.
Professor Draper was the artist and OBJ
tanned two negatives, one of which is of the
size as it appears to the eye, while the other
is enlarged fifteen times. The smaller i'm
age, which is the more distinct, shows the
nucleus and coma, with a portion of the
train to the length of five or six degrees.
The enlarged figure, though fainter, reveals
the shape of the coma, which, flowing out
ward from the nucleus on both sides, gives
the comet much the appearance of bird
with wings outspread.
Further particulars will be awaited with
interest and will appear in the most fash
ionable columns of the papers-the tele
graphic columns.

TALKING to reporter of the Tribune,
Goodwin Smith said: ssThe Canadian con-
stitution, like yours, is a cross between Fed
eralism and Nationality. Canada, as well
as the United States, is democracy, though
she has trife of monarchy stuck on her
head. The structure of society on both
sides of the line is the same, and exercises
the same iufuence on the Government.
The monarchical form makes no difference.
The benefits and the hopes, the difficulties
and the dangers of. Democracy are identical
in both countries. In one or two respects
we have the advantage of you. Our Judges
are appointed for life or during good behav-
ior and are perfectly independent. Con-
tested elections with US are tried by the
Judges, and with unimpeachable fairness;
whereas the decision of contested election
by party vote, which witnessed the other
day in your House of Representatives, was
as bad as anything that ever took place in
the British House of Commons in the most
corrupt times.''

SYMPTOMS of an outbreak of fanaticism
between Hindoos and Mohammedans have
manifested themselves at Lahore and else
where in India, Notwithstanding the efforts
made by the leading men of both the relig-
ions to smooth over the differences. The
Hindoos are the aggressors, and have given
much offense by publishing pamphlet,
which is simply a violent and silly attack on
Mohammedanism. So far the Mohamme-
dams have shown remarkable patience under
circumstances of the most wanton provoca-
ton; but it is doubtful how long they will
do So
