dered insensbe and would gradually sink to sleep,
never more to wake. ust the same would happen
in the of comet whose atmosphere was pr1n-
Cipally constituted of ether or chloroform.
Or going step beyond, suppose our earth was
enveloped by comet that absorbed the nitrogen
of our atmosphere. Every breathing creature would
experience agreeable feeling of comfort which
would gradually develop into such state OF exalta-
ton and physical and mental activity that they
would doubtless dance themselves to death in frantic
revels of ioy-a sort of millennium dream true.
If we admit that a comet does not contain IN
itself any element poisonous to the inhabitants of
the earth and that its core does not contain solid
masses of sufficient volume to destroy planet,
such an impact would nevertheless have terrible
CONSEQUENCE by reason of the transformation of
moving force to heat.
Let us suppose that a comet composed of a train
of uranoliteS was to directly in front of
The momentum of the impact would result from
the combined speeds of the comet and of the earth,
that is to say at the rate Of about seventytwo thou

would be so violent that the temperature of

sands of degrees. An enormous fire would burst
forth in the atmosphere, and would rapidly set the

TRADITIONS of women soldiers are many;
historical records few. Led by various
impuses-to share the fate of loved ones to
experience romantic adventure, to give expression
to patriotism-wo1nen have encountered all of
wars hardships and dangers. But death either on
the field or in the military hospital, the false
names under which they served, generally have kept
the identities of these adventurous spirits from the
historian.
The career of Helena Smoke, called the Amazon
of the Cossacks " who was recently under treatment
in hospital at Mukden is the latest to claim the
worlds attention She went under the name OF
Michael Nicholaievitch The daughter OF Vlad-
ivostok merchant, Helena learned the Manchurian
language from her nurse and in her fathers shop
picked up Chinese She lived much outdoors, and
rode horses and practised rheshootlng At eighteen
as interpreter she was attached to the frontier
troops As she accompanied the Russian
contingent in the allied expedition to Picking. When
the Russo japanese War broke out, she went to the
front interpreter and proved her courage.
She has just been made ward of the Car.
Frank Thompsons" Experience
A WOMAN who kept her sex disguised through
n years of campaigning with the Union army, and
whose real name not learned by her comrades
till a score of years later, known Frank
Thompson in the Second Michigan Infantry. She
carried messages through shot and shell at Freder-
icksburg orderly for General Poe One day the
gallant orderly missing. Then day after day went
by, and nothing or heard OF her. There was
only conclusion: desertion.
The woman explained later at Flint Michigan that
while the regiment in Kentucky she had con-
tracted illness that she knew would result in her be-
ing taken to a hospital. She applied for leave of
absence and it refused; she left without per
mission, going to Oberlin, Ohio. She wrote book
called q Nurse and Spy" and used the proceeds for
the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers She
married later to Mr.. Seelye. Years after the
flict ended she obtained pension and admitted
to the Grand Army of the Republic SIZE died in I8o8
A picturesque figure of the Civil War was Loretta
Velasquez, Cuban maid who left her native land
and joined the Southern forces. She began her

a flame and the world is exposed to meet
than one in its This is, moreover, what
has nearly happened on several memorable occasions
In 1892 the announcement OF the passage OF
comet threw the inhabitants of planet into con-
sternation According to the calculations of astron
omy, the hairy star must necessarily cut across
the orbit of the earth on October go before
midnight. But the night passed without incident,
and day broke with the shining happy
world. Astronomy had erred; the earth was eighty
million kilometers fifty million miles, distant from
that point of its orbit that the comet would
essary pass, and though travelling at a speed of
twentyrine kiometers eighteen miles, second, it
passed the danger point only the November 80
following, that is, more than month after
ward.
However, one sees that an encounter of this ma
ture is not impossible. What would indeed hap
pen should a comet dash against the earth? The
consequences of such event might be varied
insignificant or terrible All would depend on the
nature of the comet and on the direction of the inn
pact. If its body massive made up of solid
bodies the effect of such a bombardment may be
imagined rather than described
But this kind of catastrophe is not to be appre
hended The almost invariable observation of the
comets the photographs taken thereof and the
analysis of their rays appear to indicate that they
ter sufficiently dense to endanger the existence of
planet.
They appear to be in reality composed of gaseous
atmosphere wherein spectrum analysis has more
than once detected the presence of carbon. In this
case the encounter with comet would hardly be
more favorable to us This poisonous gas might
absorb the oxygen of atmosphere meaning
speedy death by asphyxiation and blood poisoning;
for the carbonates of hydrogen, carbonc acid, and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-04-08

Electric phenomena whereof our most terrible
stories give us no conception would add their
numerous manifestations to the disorder of nature
Blue flames, lightning, and the yellow green-violet-
red flames of the differing gases would be burning
together and bursting from the terrestrial furnace
1t would indeed be a marvellous frewOrk display.
Finally, the water of the center of the globe hav-
ing been transformed into steam by a tolerablv pro-
longed ebuition, and finding no vent would burst
open the earth like bomb, with deafening roar.
The ruins of the carbonzed world, the Alps the
Pyrenees the Cordilleras the remains of calcined
cities, all would be projected into space a pro-
digious height All that had escaped the fire would
be annhilated by this formidable explosion
The final catastrophe might also happen without
the action of the comets, by considerable increase
of solar heat which could consume our planet and
its inhabitants from distance by reducing human
ity to cnders by a sort of spontaneous combustion.
A hypothesis worthy of note based a long
series of spectroscopic observation has been sug-
gested by Sir Norman Lockver 1t is affirmed that
all celestial bodies derived from meteorites.
The nebuous ones should be considered swarms
of meteorites that have collded, and thus produce
their luminosity
These nebuous bodies condense afterward toward
a center, however large may have been their pri-
mary dimensions, however irregular may have been
the primitive distribution Of the cosmic vapors that
constitute them. New globes thus formed in the
zones of condensation of this primordial nebulous
may be thus conceived a constituting worlds,
solar systems alike to in method of
formation and development And creation would
thus be continued in as newly diversified and wholly
unterrestrial manner not that of Mars or Saturn or
the SUM- but another, superior to that of the earth
superhuman, ineXhaustble. These worlds would
pass away in their turn Others would succeed Other
