It having been foretold by Prof. Fald
of Vienna, that theearth will be destro-
by collision with comet on Nov. Is,
1899, DR.. Klein has Investigated the
chances of such an event 1T must be
admitted that a collision is always
possible, but if the nucleus of q comet
is quarter. as large as the earth, there
is only one chanoein 281 millions that
any cometary visitor will run against us,
which means that such an accident
should occur about once in two million
years. The paths of the known comets
have not been determined with sufficient
accuracy to justify any predictions In
case of collision. it the comet were solid
and of the size of the neon, the corse-
quences would be awful beyond concep-
ton, and both bodies would be converted
into vaper while even if the comet were
gaseous, the carbonic acid comets un-
doubtedly contain would destroy all
organic life upon our planet. The earth
has more than once passed through the

turbance. ill., ..~.-.x. 49, ~

The prophesy that the closing years
of the century would mark the>dawn of
a new era of activity in. science aud
invention-more mervellous' than any
preceding is beginning to be real
lied. Early this year the existence of
the new gas in the atmosphere was sat.
isfactorily demonstrated. The discov-
erers were at first unable to make it
enter into any combination, but Prof.
Ramsay has since found it combined in
cleveite, a rare earth of Norway. Still
more astonishing was the discovery in
association with it in this earth of
another gas, which Prof. Crookes ident-
lies as helium, the mysterious element
so long known by it's peculiar spectrum
line to exist in the snn, Now M Berthe
lot has brought argon into combination
with certain organiccompounds, notably
benzene vapor, under the silent electric
DISCHARGE, and is led to conclude that the
northern lights are due to argon made
auorescent by electric currents, Prof.
Olszenski has liquefed hydrogen, Mr..
N. S. Amstutz has completed his electro
autograph for telegraphing artistic pic
lures, and remarkable developments are
soon to follow in other fields.

The Commissioners meeting.

Pursuant to the call published in The

@sioners met at ten o'clock Thursday
morning. The full board was present.
After The Usual grist of bills were
disposed of the question of salary of
J. E. Davies as consulting attorney
came up. Mr.. Davis was appointed by
the commissioners last July for a term
Of one year but as his successor, Perry
D. Martin, was elected at the November
election Mr.. DAVIS has received no salary
since the first of the year, when Mr..
Martin should have taken charge of the
Office. It was stated that If the matter
wasn't settled Mr.. Davis intended to
bring action against the county TO
recover the same To avoid involving
the county in law suit it was decided
to pay Mr.. Davis GALAXY up to the time
Mr.. Martins bona was approved, which
was at the present meeting.
The matter of the appointment of
road commissioners Was laid over to the
next meeting, and each commissioners
was appointed committee of one to

Two petitions asking for division
OF school district No. 3 were presented.
One asked that the district be divided
80 as to establish new district compris-
ing the towns in range one west and
two sections in town 81 range 1~east.
The other asked that the east halt Of
range one east be set of from school
district No. 3 and formed into a new
district. Their reasons for asking the
division were that the school, as now To-
Gated, did not accommodate either those
IN the extreme east nor those ia the
extreme west. The commissioners didn't
take kindly to the idea of dividing the
district into three as they didn't think
the territory would support three dis
tricts. There was quite little discus.
sion among the citizens present as to
the merits Of the different petitions.

The type-setting machine OF Father
Calendoli, a Sicilian Dominican, has no
mechanical parts, it's operation being
controlled by electricity. The char
acters are on blocks of lead of less than
the usual height, and are provided with
a notch beneath to permit of their being
strung upon rods that hold them in
lines. They ere placed in vertical tubes,
arranged like the pipes of an organ in
single row. AS key is pressed and
released, an electro-<nagnet pulls back
bolt closing one of the tubes, permit
ing single letter to drop into conduit
from which it slides down an inclined
plane to one of the line rods that have
been arranged in advance upon galley
Firmly held upon these rods, the char
aeters may be placed directly upon the
cylinders of rotary presses. Correctio MS
may be easily made bv hand, and with
several machines, electrically connected
ono operator may multiply the type
forms indefinitely. Tho important
advantage claimed, however, is extraor-
binary rapidity, an experienced operttor,
it is said, being able to compose $4,000
letters an hour, while the most skillful
compositor does not exceed 5000, and
the best composing machines ia use do
not reach 5000. The speed depends
upon the keyboard. This contains a
number of alphabets in series of
squares, one arrangement consisting of
fifteen lower case alphabets, with three
alphabets of capitals at the right, and
a line of punctuation points across the
top. Each alphabet contains 80 keys,
the lower case vowels-except u-being
reproduced three times, and J. K, ", and
being placed with the capitals. The
position of the keys makes it easy for
the operator to place the fingers of each
hand quickly upon the letters of CON-
plete word, selecting for each letter its
most convenient key.
