announcement was made during the
infancy Of the gravitation theory. and
the realization OF his prediction did
much to strengthen the belief in the
theory and TO cause its general ac-
ceptancc.
The story Of the comet reads like
a romance, its several Appearances be-
ing marked by a record Of war and
disaster. The most remarkable Of its
earlier appearances were in 1906 and
1456. The comet Of 1866 is represent

queror. who won the battle Of Hast

TIE BACKYARD PROBLEM.

The first gardening problem to

the soil, and il is generally the last

Square deal. Ii is probably full Of
buckbats and other builders rubbish
and almost devoid OF available plant

The first year or two part Of the

is spaded. Don't give up the most
stubborn, sour-looking soil If it will

able. The finer the soil is made the
better. Wood ashes, lime and manure
win all help the soil in texture as well
as in the line of plant food.

this. The rear elevation of the house

A COMETS RETURN
AFTER rs YEARS HEAVENLY
BODY is DUE TO REAPPEAR.
Fascinating Stellar Romance Which
Is Connected with Halley's Comet
Astronomers Watching
Expectantly.

| After a protracted absence of 70
years, a heavenly body known as Hal
| ey's comet is again due to appear,
and astronomers are preparing to fig
ure out exactly where it will make
| its advent.
This visitor from the star depths
is rapidly approaching the sun. 1t Is
already within the borderland Of his
realm, having passed the sentinel
planet Neptune and is now half way
between the orbits of Uranus and Sa
turn, moving at the rate of 800 miles
a minute, in a direction two degrees
south of Epsilon Geminorum. Woe be.
tide it, however, should it come too
near Jupiter, which has the reputa-
ton of being the greatest comet cap
turer in the skies, and has already
annexed 80 or more.
Halleys comet is the first whose re-
turn was predicted, and it was named
after Edmond HALEY, who announced
its periodic return as due every IS
years.
A comet had appeared in 1882, and
observations had been duly made.
These, with the Newtonian theory,
gave elements which led HALEY to
prophesy that the comet would return
IN 1858. or the beginning Of the next
succeeding year. lie announced that
the Apian comet of 1881, the Kepler
comet of 1907, and the observed comet |

period of IS years, would therefore |
be due in 1858. He concluded his |
argument with a blend Of confidence /
and patriotism
Wherefore, if. according to what |
we have already said, it should re |
turn again about the year 1888, candle |
posterity win not refuse TO acknowl !
edge that this was first discovered by |
an Engishman,"
Such was Halley's prediction, pub
lished in the year 1905 The comet /
pursued its course and it was nexi
seen on Christmas day, 1853. Candid
posterity, so far from refusing to ac-
knowledge that the discovery was
made by an Englishman, has linked
Halley's name with the comet posi-
bly, for all time.
We can now make the announce
ment of the return of Halley's comet
and the fulfllment of the prediction
may be awaited serenely. No vision
or inspiration is needed; calculations
will suffice. To accomplish this win 1
require an immense amount of work,
being sufficient when carefully per-
formed to occupy the entire time of
the computar for scyral months
But great as this task may seem to
be, it is nevertheless certain that some
one will undertake tiff it has not
been commenced slready-and thxt
the time of the next return of the
comet will be accurately predicted
The exact place IN the heavens to
which the telescope must be directed
will be announced, and the comet will

Tom Taggart the National Democrat

find his hotel properties raised TO the
dignity Of a national issue, in the forth
coming campaign.
Does Mr. Bryan expect the common
people to continue to toss aloft their

Republican organs are still pointing

1t appears that only 6S per cent of
the New York police force have been
naturalized, and from the stories that
leak out from time t. time, it seems
that even a still smaller percentage is

necessary for President Roosevelt Ia
step out every few days and throw q
bucket of cold wateI on his still smol-
dering boom for third term.
