Biela's Comet Now Approaching the
Earth Predictions Made by the
Noted Astronomers.
4 Conflict of Opinion Regarding the
Visitor and Its Elect ON
the Earth.
Where to Look for II and How to Avoid
Personal Danger When 1t strikes
This rla,e;.
1t is Bielas comet.
1t is not i3iela's comet.

1t is BieIa's comet.
1t is not Biela's comet.
1t is approaching the earth at the rate
Of 10000 miles a day.
1t is receding from the earth and is
now about 2JO.OOO,OOO miles away.
1t is liable to strike the earth and
knock it into "smithereens."
1t is not at all likely to strike the
earth and if it did it would touch it as
lightly as the zephyr or the rose.
If the comet misses the earth and
passes through our atmosphere its dead
ly gases will destroy all animal life or at
least spread pestilcnce.
Our atmosphere is several hundred
times more dense than its substance and
if it does strike the earth it would do no
more harm than a feather-bed would do
to a fish. if it should fall on the ocean.
1t may cause the ocean To rise and
swamp the scacoast states or cause an
other Noah's delugc.
1t is so thin it couldn't raise Il feather.
and if it should strike the earth in full
force would do no more harm than fall
ing rain.
If it does 10 iniurc the earth directly
it may get up ii serious Irritation with
some Of the smaller planets and just as
likely as not elope with our moor.
Its transit will be accompanied with
showers of rcd-hot mcteors and look like
the most dazzling kind Of a pyrotechnic
democratic ratification jamboree.
1t is a cold body, shines only with re-
flected light. and no meteors will mark
its course.
1t will, on its nearest approach to the
earth. show a tail which will extend from
zenith to horizon.
1t will be tallless.
1t was nearest to the earth on Oct. II
1t will be nearest on Nov. -.

opinions which professional star-gazers
from London TO San Francisco have Civ
en- concerning the coming comet. AS the
New York World says: THE only certain
thing revealed 10y the coming Of this
comet is that the astronomers really
know next to nothing about comets

GOOD FOR SHEEP OWNERS.
The Worlaud snow Plow Proves to lie 4
success in Every Respect.

The Worland snow PIow Proves to he "a
success in Every Respect.
If any doubt hitherto existed as to the
practicability of the Worland snow pillow,
that doubt must have been removed
yesterday when the invention was given
"a thorough test in the presence of eX-
perienced sheep owners. Walter Clark,
of Clark Bros. ~ Co.'S, Chotcau. and Viii
liam Tim !were among the gentlemen
present. They examined the machine
and its workings in a careful manner
and mounted it and operated it, each for
himself. in order to test the claim Of the
inventor that it was easily managed. Mr..
Brown. Of the Great Falls Meat com
pany. also subjected the piow to Il
thorough test. only to be convinced Of
its great value as It means Of freeing the
ground from snow.
The Worland Snow Plow will clear
twenty-five acres of ground in one day.
1t cuts II swath seven feet wide and
within one and one-half inches of the
ground, the cutter hhrs being sharpened
SO as to cut through hard snow and yet
not cut the grass. Each pillow will clean
sufficient ground to feed 1900 sheep. af-
fording them healthy exercise and moist
food. 1t can be run through two and "a
half feet of snow, and is operated by one
span Of horses, though four can be used,
and one man can operate it as it cuts
free and being a head of the horses gives
them a good path.
At Billings last winter this pillow was
in operation and met with the cordial
endorsement Of the sheep owners who
after an examination Of its merits pur
chased plows for their ranges. Il. j. Mar
tin, of Billings. is one of the earnest adj
vocates Of the utility Of the Worland
pillow. John j. Miller. of Shelby June
ton. Hughes Bros, of Pondera, and Geo.
} Currie n Son. of Arlington. are among
those who have purchased plOws and are
enthusiastic in their praises of its great
| value to the owners Of sheep. lmme-
diately after the trial yesterday. Nessrs.
Clark and Tim placed an order for ii
machine and in speaking of the work
| done by it said they could give it most
cordial endorsement and that they wOulD
be glad to answer any inquiries All
dressed to them personally regarding its
workings.
5 a prominent WoUl-growcr now using =
pillow asserts that it proves d saving Of
over fifty tons of hay each winter. The
: price, it is understood, Is very low when
: the value Of the pillow is taken into con
sideration. Sheep-owners who are de

references they may desire by addressing

\ GOOD SNOW Pillow.
Nr. Worlanu's Invention On Exhibition
Near the CITY YESTERDAY.

"" -
The Worland snow pillow. which has be
fore been fully described in the columns
of the TRIBUNE, WAS given ii trial Fri
day in the presence Of a number Of sheep
men. and it fully demonstrated its capa-
bility Of being able TO do all that its in
vcntor and manufacturers claim for it.
It was taken out on the prairie neal the
city and readily removed the snow from
a large area Of ground. The horses which
pIopel the plow work IN the rear of the
cutter and mold board. and are thus giv
en- IA good footing and are not taxed in
propr!ling it. Two or four animals can
be worked abreast. 1t is claimed for the
machine that il will Uncover over TWEEN
~ acres of s~nOw-cOvcred ground in a day.
and all who witnessed the trial given 1t
yesterday afternoon are agreed that 1t
will easily do SO. The pillow has been
tried heretofore and has given most eX-
cellent satisfaction, and owners of tlocks
are especially requested to be present
during the exhibitions which will be
given during the present snowfall.
AS a most excellent means OF aUNer-
Using this machine it is suggested that
the pillow he driven through the Travelled
thoroughfarcs Of the c,ty. Pedestrians
are experiencing great Inconvenience in
making their way, and ladies especially
are greatly annoyed by the snow cling
ing to their skirts. If the Great Falls
Iron Works desires TO win the everlast-
ing gratitude Of the females Of Great
Falls. and if Mr.. Worland, the inventor.
would rank next to Columbus and
George Washington in the minds Of the
| school children. they VIII start out early
this morning and pillow a pathway
through the snow on every residence
street in Great Falls. II would be a
splendid advertisement for them and an
| act that would cutitlc them to hearty
and universal thanks.
