SWITCHES IN THE AIR.
Interesting Article Upon Comets and Their Tails
Millions Of Miles Long.

1t Is wonderful sight to see a woman of
average height with hair SO long that it
reaches to her feet, but what would you
think of lair switch 2OO,OO0OOO miles
long? Those erratic celestial adventures
called comets are SO named because the an
clients thought they resembled the flowing
hair of woman. These switches in the
sky have been seen 100 degrees long, which
is more than the distance from the zenith to
the horizon.
In the Olden time the appearance of a
comet was dreadful event. The strange
visitant struck terror 10 the hearts of ig-
norant and superstitlouS people because it
was thought to be sign of The wrath of
Jehovah, and that 1t presaged war resti-
lence or famine. IL was also thing of
dread because of fear that it might run INTO
the earth and knock all things terrestrial
into Smithereens. But, thanks to scientific
research, in these latter days we know that
the flaming comet is RS harmless as snow
fake
The constituents of comet are practi-
cally the same as are found in all the ne
BILIOUS matter in space. In fact it is not far
out OF the way to say that comets are simply
masses OF nebu9 moving in orbits around
our sun, and 1t is quite probable that the
other millions of suns or stars are similarly
visited by the strange specters.
The fact that stars can be seen through
the nucleus or head of comet clearly demon
strates that it is not solid body. 1t is
thought by astronomers that the mass OF Il
comet is SO light that its weight is far less

CALIFoRNIA's WINTER.

And is this winter? Lo, the Austra sun
And all fair Nature stirs while we behold
The poets upward working PARADISE
IS this stern winter See, the landscape smiles
With many tiny blossom bright and gay,
Our pathway starred with meek ana stellar CLEANS
And grasses spread carpet for way
Is this bleak winter? Mark the radiant rose
With bIushIng beauty scent the morning air,
The lowly violet yields TO youth and age
Its charms and soothes the weary heart OF care,
Is this dark winter? When the western skies
Are glorious with their silver and their gold
As slowly sinks the stately sun behind
The hills whose crests the pearIest mists enfold
Is this fierce winter? when the azure vault
Is studded, as the daylight slowly fades.
with starry eyes whose bright uplifting glance
Oft makes us long for evenings somber shades.
Yes, this is winter-fair as Hesper throned
In brilliant beauty mid the cloudiesS blue
Lighting the armament with wondrous beams
keigning as queen Ger Starlight'S realms Of dew
Yes this is winter! But what other land
Compares with Californias genial cline.
Or spreads for man such panoramic scenes
VI nature, wOndrous still through lapse of time?
Oh may the winter hours OF our life
Be calm aud peaceful these Genes of love
And like the flowers, mirrors of Gods grace,
Reflect the beauty of the realms above.
