The Comets


From all that is known about Perrine's
comet, it does not seem to be one of the
largest of its kind. A very brilliant comet
appeared in 1863 with tail 4O.OOO,OOr
miles in length, and passed within 2,O00,-
600 miles of the earth without hurting
anyone.
The comet of 1911 was computed by
Herschel to be 90, 900, 900 miles in length
and 15,OOO,O0O in breadth. 1t remained
visible to the naked eye for several months.
Bela's comet, which many persons
feared would strike the earth, first APP
peared in 1925. 1t came back twice after
ward, and then vanished.
Donati's comet, with q tail 10000, 900
miles long, was first seen in 1858, when it
was 22S. 100000 miles from the earth. 1t
nearly ran into Venus, but did not.
The geat comet of 1861 travelled at the
rate of of ten million miles every twenty
four hours, and many persons thought that
its tail came in contact with the earth June
3Oth of that year, there being on that day
"a phosphorescent auroral glare"
Much of the knowledge of the compost
ton of comets is due to the late Professor
Henry Draper of this city, who was very
successful in making photographs of sew
eral of them.-New York Sun.

THE GREATEST CONGRESS OF ALL.
The Socialists Have "A Grand Pow
WOW and Big Row in London.

London. July 27.-The fourth national
socialist trade congress opened in this city
to-day, SEQ delegates from all parts OF Eu-
rope and from the United States, Aus
tralia and the Argentine Republic being
present.
Among The delegates are $50 representa-
tives of British trade unions. Among the
American delegates are Lucian Sanial OF
the socialist trade aid labor alliances;
Matthew Mcguire, who represents the So
cialist-labOr party of New Jersey. II. Bss-
told, who represents the brewery en-
ployes, and NJ. DalskL Among the French
delegates are repres sentatives OF the
Bourses du Travel of Paris. Lyons. Saint
Etienne and other industrial centers, ana
the federation of syndicates. The Ger
man delegates include two members Of the
Reichstag.
1t is expected that the congress will
be more important than those held in
Paris in 1889, in Brussels in 1891, and In
Zurich in 1898.
The chair was occupied by Mr. Convey
of northumberland, a miner, who made
speech welcoming the foreign delegates.
Upon its conclusion the delegates rose
and cheered and then sang the Marseil-
laise, in which the audience joined. The
report of the sectional meetings was read.
A large majority OF the delegates voted
against the admission of anarchists when
the question Of whether they should be re-
ceived as delegates was mooted in the
plenary congress. The anarchists, who
presented credentials as trades unionists
insisted upon the right OF speaking. The
English and German delegates warmly op-
posed their being allowed TO air their
views on any subject before the congress,
and clamored for an immediate vote on
the question of their expulsion. A pro-
longed uproar followed, the anarchists
and their supporters being apparently de-
termined that they should be received as
delegates.
The chairman's bell was rung for sew
eral minutes in a vain attempt to secure
order both sides shouting at once Final
ly the anarchists undertook to storm the
platform, and then occurred a most dis
graceful scene. Their opponents rallied in
front of the platform and hurled the an
archists back in a fstieuff encounter.
The delegates of the British independent
labor party sided with the anarchists in
their efforts to command recognition. Mr.
James Keir Hardie, who formerly repre-
sented the labor party in the House OF
Commons, was conspicuous for his bawl-
ing and his personal threats against the
chairman.
1t having been found impossible to re-
store even semblance of order the chair
man declared the congress adjourned until
tomorrow, and ordered the hall to be
cleared.
After the adjournment delegates formed
in groups in the street in front of the
hall and continued their excited debates
for q time. The police, however, did not
allow them to talk unmOlested, and the
groups were continually broken up by
orders from the constables who peremp-
torily ordered them to ''move on"

Lincoln, Neb., July 27.-The result of the

Just before he left Lincoln, it is inferred
tnat no definite plan was arranged to bring
about an understanding with reference TO
the democratic and populist national
tickets.
Mr.. Bryan tonight made the following
authoritative statement:
Mr.. Bryan received a number of tele-
grams during the day, containing sugges-
uons in regard to the action of the popu-
list convention He has replied to all that
ne will act with deliberation and that moth
ing will be done which can be justly criti-
clsed by those who are interested in the
success of bimetallism. He begs all friends
or the cause in all parties to refrain from
harsh criticisms of those who, however,
much they may differ, agree in desiring
the immediate restoration of free coinage.
He feels sure that a solution of all diff
nculties will be found in due time and that
the solution will be honorable to all par
ties, as well as satisfactory"
