THE NEW COMET.

The new comet-comet Wells, as it Is
called,-is slowly climbing in o north
westerly direction, aud although not yet
visible to the naked~eye. grows brighter
and brighter in the telescope. 1t is now
nine times brighter than al the
tune of the Discovery, March
10. Professor Boss, of theDud.
Icy observatory. estimates that at
the time OF ~perlhelion, June 10, it will
be three hundred times brighter than it
now is. or three thousand times brighter
than at the moment of its first appear
ance. The display will depend largely
on the makeup OF the comet. Its nu
cleus seems to be one OF unusual &C
trvity. Prediction OF brllliancy, howev-
or. is not altogether reliable. In June,
If Professor Boss is correct, a tail OF
enormous dimensions will overstrech
the heavens. Unfortunately for US, the
long twilight OF summer-the come:
following and then leading the sun SO
closely-may seriously impare the spec
facular effect, which otherwise might
prove extraordinarily striking. It is
probable that this comet will be visible
mp 10 the middle or last of September.
Its ear approach to the sun-distance
At ~perlhelion being estimated at Only
5000, 900 miles, or twenty times nearer
the sur than the earth, and seven times
nearer than M~ercurY-will afford the as
tronomer opportunity for observation of
great value to celestial science The
comet was seen by e of a four-inch
telescope Sunday evening. in spite OF

HOW THE TARIFF WORKS,

From Q speech by Senator Williams of Kentucky
II protection is a good thing, prohibit

would be to close all our ports against
foreign nations. and surround ourselves
with ar impossible wall. like China and
Japan. Commerce IS the exchange be.
tween nations of their surplus commodl-
ties and there must be some reciprocity
or there can be no foreign trade.
Whatever shuts out imports shuts in ex.
ports. If WI would sell We u also
buy, or there is an end of trade. Trade
cannot be kept up long where the cash
is all on n side.
The friends of protection do not state
the issue fairly. They try to force il
between protection and absolute free
trade. Nobody is for free trade ius,
now. The wants OF the government
are so great that all agree a very LARGE
amount OF revenue must be raised from

A HUMAN BAROMETER.
The Real Relation Between the Human
Body and the Weather ScienJinc.
ally Explained.
TScientifc Americana

Sclentinc Amerlcun.l
One of the most valuable developments Of
modern science along the line of human me-
csssity is the National Weather Bureau at
Washington. Experience has shown that
eighty ak per cent Of the predictions Of the
signal service are accurate; and these pre-
dictions are unquestioRahly of the greatest
advantage to the seaman, the agriculturist
and the entire commercial world. The SER
vice has proven its necessity by its useful
ness, for in past times the facilities for fore
telling atmospheric changes were meagre in-
deed. The only indications our fathers had
of coming changes in the weather were ach-
ing limbs, twinging joints or painful corns.
These ''indications," though crude, were
usually correct, and hence naturally suggest
the enquiry ~ to the relation between the
human system and the weather. The body
is unquestionably an excellent barometer.
1t forstells changes in the atmosphere long
before they occur, and this fact has been
taken advantage of by physicians who, when
al other agencies fail. 'prsscribe . change Of
air. thus hoping that the body may lind an
atmospheric condition better suited TO its

the human body and the weather has never

trouble attacked the muscles. and the feel
