the thunders OF the church against and ex-
communicated it. So, too, it was thought
and construed by the Normans that the
comet OF 1855 was indicative of the divine
approval of KING WILLIAMS invasion. Aud
so the one which preceded the great Lor-
thousands of its people. What is really
the nature of the comet or what
purposes it serves in the great economy Of
creation, or how many millions of them
there are, we know as little about as we do
of the future years. The general belief is
however, that these bodies are white, hot
masses Of incandescent gas, the brighter
part, or neucleus, being called the head,
and the DINNER part the tail,
being the waste, as it were, the
latter being always turned away
from the sun, whether the comet be APP
preaching or reccding from that body. The
substance of this tail is estimated to be so
light that the largest one known OF would
weigh only few ounces or few pounds, ut
most, at the carths surface. This is also
thought to be true Of the body of the comet
if this be not solid. The polariscope tells
Us that it shines either partially or wholly
by reflected sunlight Being SO light it can
scarcely have any apprecable influence
upon tho planetary movements or condi-
tions, Yet it is contended that both yege'
tation and health are affected by the climat-
ic changes it induces lis salubrity is now n
very popular idea, and ii is claimed that
the excellent vintages OF 1911 and 1853, so
well known to wine drinkers, were due TO
the fine seasons brought about by the
comets, That the earth comes into col
lision with these visitors is now positively
asserted by several astronomers, and some
say as often as twice every year, the result
being simply shower of shooting stars
more or less brilliant according to the
density of the portion of the tail we en-
counter; but these kinds OF comets are com
posed OF only small and widely scattered
fragments and some OF which are too large
TO be converted into vapor before they
reach the earth and fall us stones.
This however is contrary to the other
theory Of the whole matter being gas.
In either event if we had II very
heavy fall of stones or much of the hot gas
during the transit, the inhabitants of this
little world would have to find recourse in
well aired and bomb.proof cellars, and
while Dallas and our good neighbor
on the west Of us where tho
panther lie down." might thus give
escape for their citizens. Galveston and
Sabine Pass and the other great scaports OF
the state would fare sadly. But let us all
take courage. PROFESSOR LANkIN says,
"thc longer comets continue to strike the
sun the longer can man inhabit the earth.
The real danger Is not in cometary down
rush, but in the fear that not enough me-
tcors and comets will gravtate into solar
fires" SO rush on comet, we stand by
PROFESSOR LANKIN.

DESTRUCTION on THE WORLD NEXr
MONTH

The astronomical crank and alarmist is
again at his work. Showers Of prophecies
aud OF comets are to succeed showers of rain.
We are now informed that sometime during
the coming month this world is to be de.
slroyod by q comet, but there are two very
different theories by which this moment.
Gus occurrence is to be effected viz; tho
comet is to strike the earth and the comet
is to DO plunged into the sun, which fric-
ton will generate so great heat that this
sphere will be pretty well roasted, broiled,
stewod, or wordst to that effect. Save eclip.
scs, those cometary appearances have
produced more fear in the human mind
than any of the other celestial or wria dis.
turbances. The human mind Is SO consti.
tuted that II seems to take on moro I'M.
reasonable fear about some very general
threatening ofcalamity than 1t does when
trouble is more personal in It's nature.
These comets In particular are moro
adapted than almost nything else to create
alarm, and they have been so in ali the
past. They have been regarded as mes.
scngcrs of distress, manifestations of divine
wrath, foreshadowing all kinds ofill. And
this faith has been as firmly rooted IN
some Of the most intelligent minds
as is the belief of the little child
that at the end Of the rainbow Is hung n
bag Of gold for whoever will 10 and got It.

"While was in Topeka last winter" said
the Hon. Arthur Edgington, II had pretty
rough time of it. got bad cold, and then,
that not being sufficiently severe, l was also
attacked with rheumatism. The pain was in
my left shoulder. At times almost writhed
in agony. tell you, sir that the pain could
not have been greater had my shoulder been
screwed up in a wise. l was utterly helpless,
and felt like l was destined to remain in that
condition Indefinitely. My friends and ply
sician were generous in their prescriptions and
my room soon became a miniature apothecary
shop. But nothing did me any good. One
day some one told me | was enduring great
deal of needless pain when could invest fifty
cents in a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil and be cured.
/ invested in bottle of the Oil, rubbed it on
my shoulder twice, and in two days forgot
that ever had rheumatism. Yes, that is
great remedy, and no mistake. They can't
say too much in favor of its healing power"
The above was uttered by Mr.. Edgington
while sitting in the porch of the La Gonda
House, at Columbus, the other evening, and
was overheard by an escaped reporter, who is
travelling over the country incog. Inquiry de-
veloped the fact that Mr.. Edgington is one OF
the most widely known men in Kansas, fgur-
ing prominently in politics, and acting as the
responsible agent OF the Bradstreet CONNER
cial Agency. Upon subsequently making Mr..
Edgington's acquaintance the reporter was
assured that all he had heard was true, and he
was at liberty to use it in the papers.-Os.1ego
