A hearty laugh at the pointed
query of an interesting four-year-old
girl was enjoyed few days ago by
a number of persons waiting on a
platform at Broad Street Station for
the departure of a westbound accom-
mediation train. The little lady had
been gazing intently at a Pullman
observation coach, and after a brief
mental contrast of the more preten-
tious car with the ordinary passenger
coach which she was about to take,
asked her mother: Mamma, what
kind of car is that one with the
beautiful windows and pretty plush
covered chairs?" "That is a parlor

Does this mean that a member OF

A washinxtou Astronomer Says That
I'm 1910 We VIII Witness One Of
the Most Beautiful Sights the
Heavens Ever Disclosed.
A special from Washington to
Mondays Baltimore Sun gives the
following account of q beautiful
sight that will be seen In the heavens
In 1910:
IF you live until next spring you
are going TO witness one OF the most
magnificent sights the heavens have
ever disclosed before your eyes"
said a well-known member OF the
astronomical force at the United
States Naval Observatory this after
noon to the correspondent OF the
Sun. "Halley's comet comes only
once In lifetime, and many persons
are born. live and die without ever
catching a glimpse OF its marvellous
dash of fire across the skies. 1t was
last seen in 1885. and few persons
now alive can say they have ever wit
messed it."
The comet in its full refulgence.
Ia not due until 1910, but by spring
1t will probably be near enough to be
visible by naked eye. 1t is now
somewhere OF in space, but not yet
visible to astronomers. They conf
IDENTIFY expect some one to pick it up
before the end of 1909, and after
that it will increase in splendor and
size until 1t reaches its nearest ap-
proach to the earth, some time next
spring, after which it will disappear,
not to be seen again in rs years.
Halley's comet has been visiting
the vicinity of the earth ever since
500 or 600 years before Christ" said
the astronomer. HALEY was an Eng
lishman, whose name was given to
the comet because he was the first
to announce that this particular
comet came near the earth at regular
periods once every rs years. He went
over the records, and by a series of
computations found that what had
previously been regarded as a series
OF different comets, was nothing more
than the same comet, and that this,
the most magnificent of them all,
came around regularly once every
rs years. That was during the lat
ter part Of the eighteenth century,
and HALEY announced that this
comet would next appear In 1895. He
never lived to see it come, but his
successors found that his prediction
came true.
