Ts,kIno up Clement.


The Rutland News, political enemy Of
Percival W. Clement, processes to recog-
nize an attempt on the part Of Clement
paper, the Rutland Herald, to revive
Clementism, II not Clement himself. Says
the contemporary, "Watch II grow. y
Well. what of it9 There are nota few
people between the Connecticut and
Champlain who would welcome the
growth Of such a movement, even IL they
had previously hurled maledictions on
the head Of the man who once had q de.
sire to be governor Of Vermont, and WIN,
to all reports, has not entirely lost the
ambition. There are lots OF men who
have been recently mentioned for gov

same Clement as far as real abilities 60.
To considerable percentage OF Vermont
ers, Clement and ClementIsm have lost
something Of their terrors in the past few
years, and not the least contributing fnc-
tor toward that changed state Of mind has
been the reckless extravagance Of the
present time. Insofar as Clement reure-

Clementismi there is no actual cause for
fear e. far AZ consequences are concerned
there could not be fear in the light Of re-

The country will rejoice that for the

ton in the Pacific states viii not lead to
complications with the empire OF the
mikado. All the pending bills in the va
rious state legislatures affecting this ques-
tion have been killed or put to sleep. It
was doubtless owing largely, II not en-
tirely, to the energetic representation Of
the Roosevelt administration that some OF
these bills did not pass. The spectre OF
war with Japan proved sufficient to defeat
the legislation. Not that war was actu-
ally assured. but il might easily follow,
in case Japan were to resent the discrim-
ination and the infringement OF treaty
rights involved. In the present state OF
feeling on the Pacific coast, it is safe to
say that the acts, or some Of them, At

"Choir."

Churchgoers who follow the service
in their prayer books would certainly
miss the dear old phrase" concerning
"quires and places where they sing"
and in time the old fashioned "quires"
may be made new fashioned again by
the coming of rationalized spelling.
Choir was a most unnecessary out
rage uponkhe language. The old Eng
fish "queffeor "quere" became quite
naturally "quyer" or "quire," and so
it remained until the end of the seven
teenth century, when somebody seems
to have introduced "choir" bcause it
looked more like the French "choeur,"
as if that were valid reason. There
could have been no danger of confus-
ing a church "quire" and a "quire" of
paper. which is a different word. the
French "cahier." probably from Latin
"quaternarium." collection of four

Striking a Comet.

If we ask the effect of a comets
striking the earth we will readily see
that if the head of the comet were com
posed of powders a collision would
have disastrous consequences. A rain
of millions of great meteOric stones
would. of course. bring catastrophe.
If. however. ii were merely a rain Of
small PARTICLES or dust we might never
become conscious of it. for the parti-
cles would never reach us. They would
be fused into gas through friction with
our atmosphere many miles before
reaching the surface. II the gases lib
Grated by friction were in excessive
volume we might suffer discomfort or
even disaster. 1t is estimated that
hundreds of millions of meteOric parti-
cles strike our atmosphere every day.
This would be serious matter If we
were not protected by our great Shell
tering envelope of air Occasionally a
meteoric bowlder is large enough to
resist the heat generated by this frc-
ton and reaches the surface. This we
call a meteorite. The now established
connection between comets and me-
teors is matter of great interest
