Clubbing
Bate Gper Offered

We have just entered into a club
bing arrangement with the Nashville
Banner. We can now offer that ex.
cellent daily with The Commercial at
the exceedingly low price of $3.50 per
year for the two This is 81 so less
than the regular price of the Banner
alone, and does not cover the cost of
the white paper used in the two pub
locations. 1t is not often that the
public has the opportunity of securing
a high-class paper like the Banner at
such an exceedingly low price. This
offer is only made during the cam
paign, and should be taken advantage
of at once. Everybody wants the
freshest and most reliable news re-
garding the Presidential election and
the Russo-Japanese war.
The Banner Is the best paper in
Tennessee. 1t is published in the
capital city, and prints all the news.

1t to promptly give its readers the

AN INTERESTING COMET.

Within a few weeks it is almost
certain that Encke's comet will be
detected making its way sunward
and earthward.
1t is in some way the most in
teresting comet known.

fered distinct threat to the sta.
bility of the solar system. 1t did
this by exhibiting the appearance
of being resisted by the ether
through which, like all the other
members of the system, it is com
PEELED to make its way in journey
ing about the sun as a center Of

up by the sun without, after all,
implying a similar doom for the
planetary system.
in the last hundred years the
period of the comet has been d.
minished about six hours.
There are indications that the
acceleretion is falling off in amount
and this strengthens the SUPPOSE
ton that the cause is a meteoric
encounter rather than etheric re.
sistance.
The meteors may be gradually
getting out of the comets track, so
that eventually it will obtain free
way, in which case the promised
tragedy may have happy ending;
but even in that event the comet
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1904-09-30

will have been brought closer to
the sun, and this fact will remain
as memento of the danger run
and the peril escaped.
The comet will be in perihelion
about the beginning Of January,
but it should be sighted from the
earth, with powerful telescopes,
not later than the list of Septem-
Der.
In October and November it will
pass south of the Constellation
Andromeda and through Pegasus
to the Milky Way in Aquila.
Here it will attain its greatest
brightness, and may be visible to
the naked eye. Garrett P. Seryiss
in st. Louis Republic.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1904-09-30

The meaning of thisa cceleration,
as astronomers know, is that the
comet must be gradually drawing
in closer to the sun, and conse.
quently travelling with increasing
velocity. The final result of such
process, if continued long
enough, could only be the destruc-
ton of the comet by It's falling
into the sun.
Such a fate for comet is, in it,
self, of slight importance to US,
but it is of very great Importance
if it implies similar ending of the
system as a whole.
If all the bodies that revolve
around the sun are resisted by the
ether, through which they move
like bullets through the air, there
must come a time when the career
of every one of them will be ter
minated by a catastrophe such as
the imagination can hardly pic
ture.
Encke's comet is body of rela !
lively very small mass. Compared
with the earth, it is like a thistle.
down to cannon ball.
The thistledown quickly reveals
the effect of the air resistance,
while the cannon ball flies on with
a velocity which at first seems
hardly to be diminished at all.
But if the resistance continues long
enough the massive ball no less
than the bit of down will be
brought to rest.
So, for ages after Encke's comet
had plunged into the sun, the earth
and the other planets might con-
tinue pursuing their orbits, scarce
ly showing the effects of the re-
sistance to their motion.
1t is by no means certain, how
ever, that the resistance suffered
by Encke's comet is experienced
equally all around its orbit. 1t
has been thought that the retarda-
ton may be limited to part of
space near the sun, and may be
due not to the ether, but to some
meteoric swarm through which the
comet passes on each return.
In this case the phenomenon
would not be extended to the earth
or other members Of the system
chat are not subject to a similar
meteoric encounter, and thus
Encke's comet may be swallowed

As the rural free-delivery service
has been extended the number Of
letters carrying small amounts OF
currency has greatly increased. AT
present there is no convenient
method provided in the rural dis
tricts for making such remittances
through the mails except in cur
rency or postage stamps, and such
currency and stamp remittances are
