THE EARTH Is SAVED.
Mr.. Biela's Comet Failed to Con-
meet
The Astronomers Cannot Agree az to the
Identity of the Tramp star
with a tIambeau
Torch.

NoRTHFIELD. Nov. 21.-All today and
night gossip of various kinds has been
/ prevalent from every nook of society as
I to the final smashup of the earth by
Blela 5 comet. The Millerites and
/ Seven-Dav Adventists had made calcu-
lations on the END of the world and
walked about all day saying I'VE told
You so. quoting passages of scripture
as proof.
At Goodsen observatory. however. a
different phase was CLEANED At mid
night Prof. Wilson said: From the OBJ
servations at Goodsell observatory bv
myself and Prof Payne we have COM
puted an orbit of the comet discovered
by Holmes. Our calculations are not
quite finished. but are far enough along
to-be conclusive that the comet is not
the lost comet of Biela. 1t is now over
200. 600. 900 miles from the earth and is
rapidly receding. -
''On Wednesday last a great MANY
shooting stars We're noticed. which all
came from the direction of the constel-
lation of Andromeda. from which the
Blela meteors are expected. They We're
so numerous that one could count as
many as fifteen or twenty each minute.
These We're a little early for the Biela
meteors. yet they We're no doubt part
of that swarm. The last three nights
of the week have been cloudy. 50 that
no meteors could be seen. We shall
look for them tonight if it be clear
1T is doubtful whether Biela 5 comet
will ever be seen again. although 1t NAV
be moving along its old path. The gen
eral opinion among astronomers is that
it has separated into many small fl.ar-
ment>- which do not give light enough
to be brilliant. When the earth crosses
the track cf the comet at the same time
that these fragments are passing. many
OF them strike our atmosphere with
such velocity that they are ignited and
burned Up and we see them as shoot
ing stars Suppose the comet should
strike the earth. Why. the earth would
pass through it as 50 much mist or
vapor and with no more danger There
