Big interest, but if the men who furnished
the money originally to Prof. Bell to
place his telephone on the market had
loaned it at one hundred per cent a month,
their profits to this day would not have
been half those actually realized from
their investment in the stock of the COM
pany. The enterprise turned out to be
one capable of earning profits which not
the most sagaciOus could have lorctold.
The invention was one which occupied a
field until then untrcd, and the extent to
which the public would wish to utilize it
and pay for its use could have been but
pure guesswork in advance of its actual
introduction. No data were at hand, no
figures, no information, no facts. That it
would be profitable many people thought,
how profitable, none could venture to
guess. From the nature of the case, only
after offering the invention to the public
and observing to what extent they availCd
themselves Of its advantages, could any
accurate estimate of the profits be made,
nor, indeed could it be positively known
that there would be any profits

There was another display in Novem-
Der. 1886, when the earth again cut
through the path of the comet.
1t is not certain that this is Biela's
comet.
The orbit Of Biela's comet is so close
to the earth that Professor Young, OF
Princeton, says the earth will pass
through the comets head. If they arrive
at the nearest point at the same time.
Bielas comet was discovered by an
Austrian officer, and IL was named after
him in 1896. 1t has been since seen In
1892 and in 1879. In 1916 1t split in two
pieces. This is the month and year It
