Still Another Comet.
Discovered by Freeman, of England-Astro-
nomical Condolences.

Discovered by Freeman, of England-Astro-
nomical Condolences.
A telegram received from Harvard
University Sunday week reports the
discovery of faint comet by Freeman,
of Brighton, Eng, on Nov. "a, right
ascension, no hours, 80 minutes; north
declination 800 This comet is within
90 Of the Holmes comet, and in view of
the suggested identity of the Holmes
with the Biela comet, this new visitor
would at first thought appear to be the
separated part as seen in 1852, but as
the cablegram reports the motion of this
comet to be 80 12/ south daily, that idea
is precluded, as the motion of Holmes
is only one-tenth of degree daily.
The position of the Holmes comet and
its slow motion, answering closely to
the Biela orbit, first gave rise to the
notion that Biela had reappeared. 1t
is curious coincidence that two comets
could appear near the place and at the
time the Biela double comet would be
due if in existence. Clouds prevented
any observations in Baltimore last
night.
Professor Barnard, the astronomer,
wrote two years ago of a similar coinci-
dcnce. He said: "There has very re-
Gently occurred a most wonderful coin
cidence that must startle even the as
Economical world. On November 10Th,
1890, Professor Zone, OF the Palermo
Observatory, in Italy, discovered a
comet in the constellation Auriga. 1t
was moving rapidly to the west and
north. On November 16, while observ-
ing the position of this comet with the
great 27-inch telescope at Vienna, DIR.
Spitaler discovered another and fainter
comet in the field of view with it. The
motion was in the same direction as
that of Zona's. Upon the announce
ment of the discovery of two comets SO
close to each other astronomers natu-
rally concluded that they were parts of
the same comet, and therefore were
travelling through space together. 1t
was, however, soon seen that there was
no relationship between the two, for
Zona's comet rapidly left the other far
behind, passing Shours after Spitaler's
observery within six minutes of an arc
(one-fifth the apparent diameter of the
NOON OF the Vienna comet, so that the
two must have appeared in the tefe-
scope as double comet. By the night
of the 18th, when Zona's comet could
first be observed in America, they were
some two degrees apart, and, therefore,
the fainter one would have escaped dis
covery.
ANY one familiar with the discovery
of comets and the comparative scarcity
of the same, and who can appreciate
the vast expanse of the heavens, in
which the average comet is the merest
speck, will recognize in this discovery
of two new comets within few minutes
of each other, and in no way physical
ly connected, one of the most remarka-
bic condolences ever known. There is
no record of any two comets not physi-
-cally related ever having been seen
within a degree of each other, and
there are many millions of chances
against the discovery of two such COM
cts to close together as were Zona's and
Spitaler's, and we may safely say that
it may never happen again.

took the gentle Annabel
To see football game,
And thus unto friend of hers
Did she describe the same:
''Oh, May, you should have seen the play,
Twas such a lovely sight,
And though the first game had seen
understood it quite.
"First came the Yales, all dressed in blue,
Then Harvard came in red;
One fellow yelled, the rest all tried
To jump upon his head.
"And then one fellow stopped and stopped;
And all the rest got round;
And every fellow stopped and stopped
And looked hard at the ground.
And then another fellow yelled,
And each man, where he stood,
Just hit and struck and knocked and kicked
At every one he could.
And then one fell upon his neck.
And all the others ran
And on his prone and PROSTATE form.
Leaped every blessed man.
'And then the ambulance drove on
And, loading up with men
With twisted necks and broken lungs,
Went driving off again.
'.Oh, footballs just the cutest game!
1t cannot be surpassed:
But yet it really is a shame
To use up men SO FAST

Every pound of flesh gained by an
animal in winter costs more than II
pounds in summer, and every pound
lost will be more difficult to regain
after the winter sets in. The live stock
should be fed we'll now, so as to carry
them into the winter in good condition,
as it is cheaper to put on the flesh and
retain it while the weather is mild than
to attempt to fatten poor animals in
winter.

RAIN MAKING. - When artificial
means are discovered of making the
air cold, then makers can enter
the field with some hopes of success,
but not before. The firing of cannon
and the explosions of dynamite will
never prove successful. Man should
adopt the mode of nature, and that is
by reducing the temperature First
get the moisture in the air and then
reduce the temperature, and rain will
fall. Condense the vapor by cold and
rain will fall of itself and needs not to
be shaken down by conclusion.
