Ialley's comet is so called not be-
cause HALEY discovered it. for it had
long been known, but because he was
the first to calculate its orbit and to
predict its return. HALEY was born in
1906 and was educated at st. PaulS
school and Queens college. oxford. He
was notable astronomer, Travelled
much on the continent and was
friend of Sir Isaac Newton. In 1920
he was made astronomer royal, and,
besides predicting the return of the
comet in 1862, he recommended the use
of the transit of Venus for obtaining
the parallaX of the sun. Tie died in
11i2 with Il European reputation as an
astronomer
No one need hide under the bed or
seek 4 cyclone cellar because we are
to have Il visit from this comet, how
ever. There is not the slightest dan
ger of its Colliding with the earth or
in any way disturbing us, as all comets
are looked upon with scientific curios-
ity rather than fear. Not so with the
comets of the past however.
The appearance of the comet In 145G
spread terror all over Europe, and in
all the churches people prayed to be
delivered from the Turks and the
comet. Three years earlier Constan-
tine, the last emperor of Byzantium,
had died the death Of n hero on the
Sandjakdar Yokushar. the Sultan Mo-
hammed had entered the city, and the
Church of st. Sophia had become Il
mosque. The crusades were over, and
Christianity seemed fated to succumb
to Islam, for nothing was able to stop
the conquering Moslems. Then, in
1856, the comet appeared in the hcav-
ems. and Europe saw in it the scimitar
of Othman. forctelling the subjugatlon
Of Christcndom.
As to the appearance of Hallcy's
comet on its return, it depends en-
tirely upon its position with regard to
the earth and sun, If the earth hap
pens to be near the comet about the
time Of its passage round the sun.
when the comets light is necessarily
greatest and the train most extended,
then we shall have splendid view of
the glorious spectacle. At its return IN
1859 the como. had train of 30 de-
grees in length and was best seen
In the southern hemisphere-that is,
the train of the comet extended to n
distance equivalent to little more
than halfway from the zenith to the
horizon.
At its next return. in 1885. II was
somewhat short of its splendor, for its
train was but l. degrees in length.
How the comet viii look now It is i'm
possible to conjecture, but 1t is to be
hoped that 1t will treat us to dis
play worthy Of It's former reputation.

Puffed Wheat-1Oc Puffed Rice-15c

These are the foods invented by Prof. An
derson, and this is his curious process:
The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
sealed guns. Then the guns are revoved for
sixty minutes in heat of $50 degrees
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre-
mendous.
