COLLISION WITH A COMET.
What such q Catastrophe Would
Meas For the Earth.


Although 1t is exceedingly improba-
BILE that the earth may be destroyed by
collision with a comet or some huge
meteor, still the fact that such con-
tingency is possible is sufficient ground
for discussion on the subject and for
imagining what the result might be,
says the Woman's Home Companion.
The earth is moving around the sun
ct a velocity of eighteen miles a sec
ond, while the sun. with all its attend
ant planets, Is being hurried on toward
the great fiery constellation of Hercu-
les at far greater velocity. The very
fact that small meteors exist proves
the possibility Of the existence in space
of meteors Of inconceivable magnitude.
Even great black dead worlds may lie
in our path, like breakers in the path OF
q ship. Fifty miles second is not an
unusual velocity for heavenly bodies,
and some are known to move at
speed even In excess OF hundred
miles a second. five hundred times the
speed of a rife ball. Small meteorites,
which reach the earth at a velocity of
from twenty to thirty miles a second.
are instantly consumed by the friction
generated with the atmosphere Large
meteors. however. occasionally reach
the earth, escaping destruction from
their size. but are found to have their
surfaces fused from heat generated by
the passage through the atmosphere.
Although it is net probable, still it is
possible. that the earth may some time
encounter such a shower of small me-
teors. perhaps in the fern Of comet.
that the heat of combustion from fric-
ton with our atmosphere and the poi
sonous gases thereby generated might
destroy all terrestrial life.

Ancient Lightning Rods.

The ancients did not have lightning
rods constructed as ours are, but they
had lightning conductors, which shows
that they knew how to protect them
selves from the danger that lies In a
thunderstorm. Even SO long ago as
the tenth century lightning was divert
ed from fields by planting in them
long sticks or poles, on top of which
were lance heads. 1t is said that the
Celtic soldiers used to try to make
themselves safe from the stroke dur
ing a storm by lying on the ground
with their naked swords planted point
upward beside them.
There was long ago on the shore or
the Adriatic sea n stronghold known
as Dunie castle, on the highest tower
of which there was an iron rod that
was used as a means of telling when
storm was approaching in summer. A
soldier was always stationed near the
rod when the sea had a threatening
look, and it was his duty to frequently
put the iron point Of his jayelin close
to the rod, watching for the spark that
would tell him 1t was time to warn the
fishermen by ringing big bell.

An English traveller who has visited
every nation in the world Is authority
for the statement that one food is uni

where you cannot get an egg" While
in western China, however, he at first
had some difficulty in getting even
eggs. The natives could not understand
him and refused to recognize the pic

Raiainr the Wind.

1t seems incredible, but is neverthe-
less a fact, that as late as the year
1914 an old woman named Bessie Mil
lie of Pomona, in the Orkney islands,
sold favorable winds to seamen at the
small price Of sixpence vessel. For
many years witches were supposed to
sell the wind. The Finlanders and Lap
landers made quite trade by selling
winds. The old woman, after being
well paid by the credulous sailors,
used to knit three magical knots. The
buyer was told he would have good
gale when he united the first knot, the
second knot would bring a strong
wind and the third severe tempest

Drying preparations simply devel-
op dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions,
which adhere to the membrane and decom-
pose, causing far more serious trouble than
the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all dry
ing inhalants, fumes, smokes and snuffs
and use that which cleanses, soothes and
heals. Elys Cream Balm is such remedy
and will cure catarrh or cold in the head

A Sand Tree of Prussia.

We are accustomed to regard sand as
utterly barren, but the plants native to
the coast sands of Prussia have been
enumerated by naturalists, whose esti-
mates vary from I'll to 234 varieties.
OF these one OF the most available Is
the Arundo arenaria (marram), which
thrives only in sand and in the salt air
Of the beach. This in time serves tc
