RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY IN
TERESTING EVENTS.

Chicago. Aug. 29.-Again comes Hal
ley's comet, last seen in these parts 10
years ago by the pioneers of Chicago,
and all is expectancy up at the Yerkes
observatory at Williams Bay, Wis, for
astronomers are now foregathering to
take the comets picture-for the first
time in it's career, which dates from II
B. c. Since it's discovery then, this
old comet has scared human beings
more than any heavenly pirate, reap
pearing each 75 years. 1t was FLAIR
ing in the skies when William the Con-
queror invaded England in 1O66 and
some historians say that it did as much
to tame the Anglo Saxons as did the
arms of the Normans, for it had them
quivering with superstitious fear.
Again in 1456 the Catholic church
bells were set ringing at midday to
help folks keep their courage up, be-
cause Halley's comet was passing their
way and they have rung at noon ever
since.
Thanks to old Neptune, which check
ed the comets ungoverned flight
through space and set it swinging in
an orbit of billion miles around the
sun, it now is no menace to all the
earth, for it has caught step with the
sweep of the planets and is quite set
tied in it's habits. 1t is ball of met
al $50 miles in diameter and now is
beginning to come out of its sullen
chill, for as the comet approaches the
sun the heat drives out metallic vapors
of iron and magnesium, the heat in
creases and the hydrocarbons break
up into smoke or SCOT and train be-
hind. The bombardment of the suns
rays upon these minute SCOT particles
lights them up in a silvery glow and
also drives them out in a sweeping tail.
