A COMETS TAIL.
The Way This Filmy Dust Train ID
Tossed About by the Sun, III

The Way This Filny Dust Train 10
Tossed About by the Sun.
No bridal veil was ever so filmy as a
comets tail. Hundreds of cubic miles
Of that wonderful appendage are out
weighed by a jarful of air.
BY means Of the spectroscope we
have magically transported this fairy
plume to our laboratories and have
discovered that 1t is akin to the blue
fame Of our gas stoves; for the gas
by which we cook and the delicate
tresses of comet both consist Of COM
lbinations of hydrogen and carbon, APP
propriately called by chemists hydro
carbons.''
When 1t first appears in the heavens,
far removed from the sun, a comet is
tailless blotch Of light. #.55s
AS a comet swi1ns on toward the
sun the hydrocarbons Of the tail split
up under the increasing heat into n.y.
drogen, gas and hydrocarbons of a
higher boiling point. With a still
closer approach to the sun, these more
resistant hydrocarbons eventually yield
10 the increasing neat anu are Qec0m-
posed in the form Of SCOT.
,Interplanetary space is airless; hence
the SCOT cannot burn. It must pursue
the comet in the form of dust train.
The particles constituting that train
are small enough to be toyed with by
the pressure of sunlight.
No matter where the comet may be
in its orbit, whether it has just entered
the solar system or is speeding away,
that plume Is inevitably tossed away
from the sun, just as If a mighty wind
were blowing it from the central lu-
minary.
The appendage of shining dust is the
symbol of the triumph Of light over
solar gravitation.-Harp Magazine.

An AnticIimax.

Sir Henry Irving was frequently a
victim to the Intersections Of gallery
gods. When playing Macbeth" one
night he had reached that dramatic
moment in the banquet scene when in
dreadful fear he bids the ghost of
Banquo to vanish:
"tHence, horrible shadow,
Unreal mockery, hence!"
he exclaimed and, shuddering convul.
sively, dropped to his knees, covering
his face with his robe. As the ghost
vanished shrill voice in the gallery
broke the momentary silence: 'It's all
right now, Emery; he's gonew-London

There are few people who once hav-

the skies are blue, mountains green

LUMBER JACKS UNIQUE FAD.
Men from the Woods Wear TtntypeA
in Gilt Frames on Their Coats.

Men from the Woods Wear Tintypes
In Gilt Frames on Their Coats.
What does a lumber Jack want of a
little round tintype of himself in a
near-gilt frame to pin on his coat?
What does an elephant want of a mill
tary hair brush? In the latter case
he doesn't, but in the former he thinks
he does. Ask the man who is taking
the tintypes down on Bridge square
If you want to-he doesn't know. 1t
isn't exactly wise to ask the lumber
jacks, for they aren't feeling any too
meek and mild these days, says the
Minneapolis Journal.
When you have $175 or 5000 to spend
in two weeks and theaters and clothes
and other things are not for you, when
you are so constituted that you
wouldn't think of wandering above
Washington avenue-well, maybe that
answers the question of what the mm-
Der jack wants with tintypc of him
self to pin on his coat Whether they
want them or not, they are buying
them.
1t seems to be part Of this years
initiation ritual into the ranks of the
lumber jacks to wear q tintype In a
near-gilt frame pinned on your coat. In
this case the spruce young man with
the machine, which looks like a pocket
edition telescope, and in which the pic
lures are turned out, is the initiator.
and for his services the unorgarized
order of lumber jacks pays him on an
average of 20 cents a minute. For
fashion is fashion, even among lumber
jacks, and with tintypes-gilt frame
and all coming at 10 cents each-they
line up and get through with it as fast
as possible.
But even admitting that they want
tintypes in gilt frames, what reason
they have for holding their hands in
front Of their faces while the pictures
are taken has got even the policemen
on the beat puzzled.

Don't you think l am right?"

right

the winter Is over" said the man. "All
these very marked fashions do They
get initiated In the very cheapest kind
of materials until the best people-the
really fashionable people-throw them
away. You know that is so. I've heard
you say that myself"
"Yes. that is so,' sighed his wife.
"Well, isn't it? And that last falls
hat Is really as tasteful and becoming
as 1t can be and it wouldn't be at all
noticeable"
Its lovely" agreed his wife. "And
as far as being noticed is concerned no
body Is likely to notice anything wear
What does it matter?"
Don't talk that way pleaded the
man. "You know want you to have
what you want and don't grudge the
expense. But you say yourself that I'm
right"
Eyes, you're perfectly right" said
his wife. But l want the hat! l
want the hat! l want the hat !"
"Then If it's like that" said the
man, wisely, you certainly will have

When river commerce was developed
by private capital the railways protect
ed their business by methods which did
not commend themselves at all. They
will be at disadvantage In competi-
ton with the nations investment, and
there will be born new sectional
Question In the rivalry between the
East and the Middle West. But there
Is no possibility Of standing still. RI
valry among ourselves should not OBJ
scure the fact that this improvement is
one means of keeping for ourselves the
trade within our Sphere" which other
wise Is offered for competition to Eu-
rope and even to Japan. The West
which long has been restless under i'm
provement Of our harbors, may easily
think 1t has fair case for asking the

In the commercial treaty recently
made between Canada and France, the
Dominion for the first time negotiated
directly with a foreign power through
Its own officials without the interven-
ton Of British diplomats. Sir Wllfrid
Laurier, the Canadian prime minister,
went himself to Paris and arranged the
terms Of the treaty. Although Of course
the treaty is actually concluded by the
British government, yet the fact that
the home government practically al
lowed the colonial authority to make
the arrangement independently marks
an important advance In the power of
The Canadian government.
