As the polls closed Tuesday afternoon

terday morning, but it was out of the
question. It became necessary to post
pOne the announcement until this morn
ing in order TO get together all the
names Of the successful solvers.
As a matter of fact, there were more
than 2l60 persons sent I'm successful
solutions by mail and otherwise. The
number of unsuccessful solutions, of
course, sWells this total TO a much
larger number. The Herald-Republica
Puzzle Editor had expected that he
would get probably 600 or 500 answers,
and, by the way, it became necessary
to discard probably fifty solutions be-
cause they were improperly addressed.
The conditions of the contest provided

ton that never before in Salt Lake was
there anything like the number of an
sWers received in any contest of this
kind or any other kind. Knowing that
the circulation exceeds any other
paper i'll this section by many thou
sands, even The Herald-Republica
management was unprepared for the
Celuge Of answers that came They
overfiOWed the Office and the clerks de
tailed TO care for them. 1t was amaz-
ing and tremendous.
The conditions Of the contest were
that priority would decide. The prizes
have gone to the first thirty-nine cor
rect answers received. Each solution
as il came in was stamped by a time
stamp SO that there could be no mis-
take about it. Tne Herald-RepubIica
feels that in addition to the names OF
the winners it should publish the
names of the others VINO sert in correct
solutions, and there are over two thou
sand and one hundred of them. Here
they are.

Doubtful Praise.

A fullback In a football team once
had the misfortune to put the ball
through his own goal. This regretta-
BILE error lost his side the game, and
he suffered agonies Of self reproach
on the long journey home.
"I'm no more use than a chocolate
footballer," he said to his sweetheart,
who had Travelled many miles to see
him play. "a slip Of a boy from school
would have shaped better than l did"
"Now, George, l won't let you say
such horrid things about yourself?
declared his loyal sweetheart. you've
no idea how popular you are. l heard
a gentleman praising you up to the
skies this afternoon"
'Neverw emphatically exclaimed the
incredulous player.
"Oh, but it's quite true! she said
proudly. "He said you'd brought his
club the best bit of luck they'd had for
ages. and he heartily wished you were
playing against them in every match"

London Cellar Restaurants.

Before coffee stalls were instituted
the humblest places of refreshment
were cellars, where the hard up as
the slang phrase went could dive for
a dinner" with n choice of such viands
as tripe, COW heel. sausages and shin
Of beef soup. Some Of the cellar res
taurants existed as recently as the ear
ly seventies Of the last century in
Butcher row, Temple Bar and the net
work Of courts and alleys swept away
for the site of the royal courts Of JUS
tice. 1t was in this Deighborhood
and probably to a dining place Of this
description that DR.. Johnson resorted
in his struggling days, when he was
so poor that. as he relates. it was not
every day that he could afford a half
penny tip for the waiter.-London

Comets,


We know positively that comets at
tain their immense extension In space
on account of the material comprising
them being excessively tenuous, thin
ner than the lightest filmy haze OF
summer, says Professor Harold ia
CODY. for we know the comets are not
massive; they are almost entirely with
out weight. And this we know with
certainty, because their arrival pro-
duces no perturbations Of motion
acng the planets Of the solar system
while the memorable laws OF mechan-
zeal science tell US that massive
comet must surely disturb the usual
orderly planetary orbits. A comet
might, indeed, strike the earth, though
such a collision is most improbable.
But even II it should ever occur the
visible effects would probably be no
greater than those produced OCCASION
ally by meteorites, or failing stars"
The other possible danger from the
comet, the chance Of suffocation from
gases In the tail, is also negatived by
actual observation, for 1t is almost GER
tain that our earth did once pass
through q comets tail, and no one no.
ticed 1t at the time. Only the subse-
ouent calculations Of astronomers
brought out the fact that the cometary
orbit and that Of the earth really had
a common point Of intersection and
that both bodies occupied that point at
the same tme.-New York American.
