Of Princeton, is we'll informed on
comets, and he AYERS that there is
some danger of the Perrine comet slip
ping by Us and falling into the sun.
This would De a real catastrophe, for
all learned astronomers acknowledge
that If a comet fell into the sun it
would produce such an increase of solar
heat that we would all be broiled or
frizzled or fried up. With this danger
staring the world in the face, it seems
that if the matter were left to a popular
vote the people of the earth would
elect to have the comet hit us and take
the attending chances rather than have
it fall into the sun and burn us up.
Other astronomers who wish, evil
IDENTIFY, TO reassure the public claim
that in 1861 a comet several times
larger than the one now heading for
us hit the earth while travelling at the
rate OF O,OOO,OO0,OO0 miles a day and
nobCiy knew it. How they discovered
it SO many years after they refuse to
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-03-12

the close relationship between meteors
and COMETS
Another astronomer on the subject
of the makeup of comets says:
1T is not a solid body like the
earth. 1t is made up of minute bodies.
We might compare it with dust cloud.
While in size it compares with the
earth, there is no comparison in the
solidity of the two. So far as we have
been able to learn there are no large
particles of matter in a comet. Tht
are made up CT atoms of dust of iron,
nickel, or some other metal. Our at
mosphere is practically impervious to
such a body. Seventy or eighty miles
above the earth, where the atmosphere
is so rare that the vacuum is almost
as good as that of a Crookes tube,
there is still enough resistance to dis
integrate and destroy a body like
comet travelling with the swiftness with
which a comet travels. The particles
would become infinitely fine, no larger
than the ultimate atoms of matter.
They would ultimately reach the
earth"
There is certainly much difference in
opinions regarding comets by comet
experts, but if this one should hit us
it will probably result in great popular
interest being taken in the subject of
astronomy on and after Saturday,
March IA, next.

make plain. But if these astronomers
are telling the truth it places the other
astronomers who say that comet only
hits us once in fifteen hundred mil
lion years in an awkward position.
Clearly either one set of astronomers
Or the other is making a terrible
blunder
Few people have a clear idea as to
what a comet really is, and for their
benefit the opinion of Professor Young
is set forth as follows: "a comet is
nothing but sand bank that is, it
is a swarm of solid particles of I'M
known size and widely separate, say
pin heads, several hundred feet apart,
each particle carrying with it an en-
velope of gas, largely hydrocarbon, in
which gaslfght is produced, either by
electrical discharges between the par
ticles or by some other light, the evolv-
ing action due to the suns influence.
This hypothesis derives it's chief plaus-
Utility from the modern discovery of

any pOSterity, as Perrine's comet. Since
Professor Perrine made the discovery
astronomers in all parts Of the world
Fave been IN a feyerish state of eX-
element. S. W. BuTnham, of the Lick
Observatory, famous as the greatest OBJ
server and discoverer OF double stars
that the world has yet known, is ex-
cited. So is E. E. Barnard, the re-
ncwned discCverer Of the fifth satellite
OF Jupiter and Of innumerable comets,
and whose planetary observations and
photographs of nebulae and stars are
Of unrivaled excellence The same can
be said of ]. E. Keller, who stands at
the front in astronomical spectroscopy.
1t is not often that the mental bal
ance of these weighty scientists is
moved sufficiently to allow of the emo
ton of excitement, but at this time it
is nevertheless true. Of course all
these men differ as to what will hap
pen when the comet hits us. Some of
them are kind enough to say that there
is possibility of the comet steering
away and not hitting us at all, or, if
it does, it will only be a glancing blow
which may shake US a bit but do no
serious damage
But there is still another danger,
even if it does not hit us, and it is
more unnerving to contemplate it than
the original. Professor c. A. Young

hundred millions of miles long. The
exact number Of millions has not been
figured out yet, but even if it were
only one hundred millions in length, it
is sufficient to appal any one who has
been in a railroad collision where the
contending trains we're only one hun
dred yards long What chance this
little earth, which is only about eight
thousand miles thick at the biggest
part. will stand against monster
whose length is measured by hundreds
OF millions of miles, is too severe for
the imagination to picture.
Besides some scientists claim that
a comet Only hits the earth once in
fifteen hundred million years. If that
is SO, no one else will enjoy the SEN
sation until the year 1,5Q0,001, 1896.
Some ancient histories go back a few
thousand years, but none of them at
tempt to cover the period when the last
comet hit the earth. So the people of
this generation are absolutely without
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-03-12

any precedent as to how they shall act
when the comet comes booming along.
What to do, and how to do it. must
be formulated b. the individual jot of
humanity at the critical time.
The exact hour of the day on which
the comet is to crash into us has not
yet been determined, for the reason
that it is travelling toward us at the
rate Of 100000 miles a day. This
means that it is flying through space
at the rate of $4,000 miles an hour. or
1000 miles a minute or twenty miles a
second. Under these conditions it is
quite impossible for even the most
learned scientist to determine the exact
hour of it's arrival.
For the same reason no one knows
whether it will first hit US in Africa,
Europe, Asia or America.
Professor Perrine, of the famous Lick
University, is responsible for this comet
that is, he discovered it, and it will
go down to posterity, if it does not
annihilate all chance of there being

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Promise of Marriage.

Madeline was sitting in the deserted
schoolroom, trying to bury herself and
her troubles in book, when one of
Miss Joyce's maids entered hurriedly
and called her by name.
Miss Despard, you are waiting in the
morning room. Miss Joyce told me to
come for you. Are you tidy? Because
there is a lady and gentleman to see
you and you are to make haste"
Madeline started up and her face
changed from white to red and then
to white again. Lady and a gentleman
oh, can it be"
She was thinking of her father.

FOR AN EXPOSITION IN 1900.
Plans for an Interstate and Interna-
tional Fair in Washington.

At a meeting of the Washington
board of trade, held last evening in the
hall of the Builders exchange on
Thirteenth street, w. S. Knox, chair
man of the committee on the exposi-
ton of 1900, reported for the committe
ton of 1900, reported for the committee
favoring the proposition to hold such
an interstate and international eXposi-
ton to mark tie birth of the new
century and the beginning of the second
century of the existence of the national
government with it's home in Washing
ton. Connected with the proposition is
bound up the plan for each state in
the union to maintain a permanent ex-
kibit here.
The committee reported strongly in
favor of the proposition, both on senti-
mental and practical grounds. 1t held
that the exposition should be main
tanned by the national government, as
the time has passed when the govern
ment should go into ''the travelling
show business" by carting it's exhibits
all over the country. Washington is
/
ing any such affair, and if it were held
there it would result in great benefit,
both to Washington Ind to the United
States.
put up buildings for permanent eX-
hibits of their manufactures and re-
sources, but the chances are that all
! the sister republics on the western
hemisphere would fall into line and
! take advantage of the opportunity pre-
sented to them to maintain permanent
exhibits at the capital of the grandest
country that has ever existed under a
republican form of government.
The report, in conclusion, recon-
mended the Endorsement Of the gen.
eral idea submitted.'
B. H. Warner asked whether this
report would commit the Board of
Trade to any action in support of the
proposition. He said that he had made
a thorough study of the plan for an
exposition and realized fully how much
such a plan meant to the city 1t
would make it necessary to raise at
least $2,OOO0O0, and he could assure
the other members of the board that
not three states in the union would
ever indorse the plan if it involved the
expenditure of a single dollar on their
part.
C. c. Lancaster moved the adoption
of the committees recommendation,
and followed it with ringing speech
in which he characterized as an "act
of treason to our well-beloved capital
to raise as much as a little finger in
opposition to scheme which means
so much to the material welfare of the
city."-Washingto Evening Star.

PRESSED INTO THE SILVER.

A thin plate of silver has recently
been forwarded to the authorities of
the redemption department of the
treasury at Washington, in the surface
of which a SO certificate has been
pressed in such a way that it had be-
come incorporated with the metal. A
statement accompanied it to the effect
that a workman in silversmith's
factory had accidentally dropped the
bill upon the plate of silver while the
latter was passing through the rolling
machine A fresh SO bill was sent to
the loser.

what lovely hair you have, to be sure,
and how long and thick. What will

it up? You are so tall now that I am

Madeline was rather pleased at the
idea. She had begun to be a little
ashamed of her long, shining name, as
she was pleased to term it and she
was longing with all her heart for the
time when she might coil it up and
put it, she thought, out of sight. She
did not realize that her hair would
always be remarkable for its beauty.
After lunch Mrs. Gervase went to her

would have somewhat scandalized Miss
Joyce. For as soon as they were left
together, LanCelot came quietly up TO

a book. laid his hand on her shoulder,
stopped down and kissed her.

Corner in HuckIeberries.

The huckleberry industry about Au-
denried has come to Il sudden stop
through the appearance of two bears
on the mountains. A week ago trav-
eler exhibited two performing bears on
the street and while doing so the ami
mails engaged in bout not on the bills.
In the scrimmage the trainer was used
up badly and one of the muZzles torn
from a bear. Finding themselves at
liberty, the bears trotted off and reach
ed the mountains safely. The black
berry season having just opened, hun
dreds of boys and girls who pick the
berries have since been kept out of the
woods through fear. The mines being
idle, the villagers one day turned out to
scour the woods for berries and bears.
A party of women came upon them un-
expectedly and their screams soou
