Andrea Lang on the Openings IN the NoreltSf'
Game
From, The Illustrated London News.

From The illustrated London News
There are only q certain number OF chess
onenings I believe, speaking under correcuon'
for I never could learn the elementary moves.
cen+1e king Jamie said that chess too serl-
Gus for a game, and it obviously demands an
intensity and alacrity OF intellect which better
invested might produce incalculable advantages
for humanity. Human motives are, of course,
much more numerous than the moves or any
piece on the board. and men and women can
get into more intricate quandaries than even
Fbe Oneen at chess. Therefore the number OF
story openings must be far greater than the
number Of chess openings, and yer, II practice
The most common Of all is the dead or
woman wing where in the ordinary course of
nature no body should lie. II is thus that the
notice novel begins and picture Of mortuary
solernnity is apt TO adorn the cover OF the
romance Next comes the description Of an old
country house: the galleries are always "ich IN
portraits of Crusaders Ga pardOnable anachron-
ism, of Cavaliers. Of Georgian wits and beau-
ties and then we have the history OF the fanliy,
Invariably in embarrassed circumstances The
conversational opening, about the new curate. is
nav+ in nv experience: then comes the auto
biographical hero. starting from the nursery;
then the wealthy business man. his gay family;
his own vision Of the sword Of Damocles. which.
in the shape of a slump" fraudulent part
ner falls on his head in the second chapter.
To my mind. perhaps the most pleasing open
ing Of all is one which | met as boy. in
novel by Shirley Brooks, and which am always
glad to encounter again. The man Of the house
comes home be he bGrrister or laborer, duke or
parson from his work or his pleasure. shortly
before dinner time, and finds that his wife-be
she Mrs. Brown the duchess-is not at home.
He becomes uneasy, then anxious. then a nero
chaos Of confused fears Of motor of moral
accidents; for dinner arrives-"the hour has
come but not the woman" Gyp has used this
motive with great effect also Major Griffiths in
fact this opening never misses fire, and I
would recommend it to young novelists as Ger
tain to enlist sympathy from the first. while 1t
may lead up TO the most unexpected develop
ments There are so many conceivable reasons.
not including the most obvious reason, why
married woman should not come home to din
ner Her father favorite brother may have
escaped from prison, or she may have developed
a secondary personality; either motive is an
easy lead TO exciting situations. In fact. the
readers curiosity is thoroughly aroused, more
so. / think than by the discovery Of a dead
body in the drawing room But the two motives
dead body Of a total stanger in the drawing
room and disappearance Of the lady of the
house-when combined. will cause the most
blase reader to turn over the pages rapidly,
while the dear children afford pathos without
further exertion.

COMETS TAIL NOT LOST.
Professor Brooks Says He Sa7o 1T
Monday Night.

Geneva. N Y Oct 13.-Whether the newly
discovered comet has lost its fiery tail mas De-
come a much discussed subject in ASTRONOMERS
circles Professor William r. BLOCKS dIreCtoi
of the Smith Observatory, announced to-day
that the French astronomers were wrong in
saving that the tail had disappeared. as he
observed the tail clearly last night through
1O-inch equatorial telescope.
1t is probably due to the fact that the comet
has fiuctuated in form and brightness since dis
covery. says Professor Brooks, that the tall has
proved elusive to the French observers Ac-
cording to Professor Brooks the tail Is plainly
visible and, while the comet IS not yet SO near
that 1t can be detected by the naked eye sui
any one with small telescope can see IT,
Professor Brooks gives the location OF the
comet as follows: Right ascension u hours 81
minutes; decIination north. 90 degrees.
