A comet now paradIng in the western
 heavens may be seen at any time after
 sunset It was first seen below the con-
 stellstion Hydra but has passed in 8
 northeastern direction across that con-
 stellation and last night occupied posi-
 tion in that triangular space whose
 points are the head of the Dragon, the | Sickle in Leo and the Bee Hive io Can | cer. The comet is tailless affair and is | therefore not worthy of much attention from the unscientific stargazer. It is
 distinguished from the adjacent stars
 chiefly by its nebulous appearance. Professor Boggs, in his daily talks to students this week in morning assembly, gave extracts from the Found of William Maclay," one of the first Americ- an senators, with running comments

 Twenty-two miles in twenty minutes were made yesterday by runaway box car. The car was empty, and got away at Vall's. Word was telegraphed to look for it. It could have been switched of and derailed at Esmend, but the track being clear, it was allowed to go by at the rate of mile minute, to Tucson. In the city it was expected and prepara- tions made. A switch WAS turned for it, SO as to throw it out on the grounds. The whole shops force were out to see the car go by. Some work for us" re- marked the car gang. Then came sud- den roar and as sudden cessation, and brown flash went by, followed by a cloud of dust. Down the track the car could be seen blowing the soil up and coming to a sudden stop. It ran hun dred yards after leaving the rails. The car was got to the track and taken to the shops, There the wheels We're pounded and a close inspection made. Not the least damage had occurred to it. So the car force were disappointed in their expectation.
