MI. Bowser stood up and flushed

HALLEY'S COMET COMING.

stellar Wanderer Will Be Visible Early
In the Winter.
The biggest free show that this gen.
Grafton will have seen will soon be
given. Its arena will lie high up in the
sky, where everybody may see it, and
there will be no need of crowding.
Professor Garrett p. Serviss, noted as
a writer on popular astronomy, tells
all about 1t in Hampton's Magazine. 1t
will be a n star show, the return of
Halley's comet. The last time it was
seen by the people on earth was in
1880. and it is now in the last stages
Of a journey of 6.SOO,O 600, 600, 900 miles.
which had to be made to play this re-
turn date.
Again. Notwithstanding the advance
of science. fear will mingle with won
der at it's apparition. A thrill Of ap-
%prehension will be felt by millions who
see its fiery head blowing through the
stars and its sword shaped tail bran
dished over the earth, as if monitory
OF unknown and unavoidable evil.
Astronomers have calculated that
Halley's comet must have crossed in
side the orbital distance Of Jupiter
from the sun about the LIST of last Jan
uary. In the middle of January its dis
lance from the earth was estimated at
100000 miles. During the late fall
1t is expected to become visible to the
naked eye after having for months be-
fore been photographed and studied
with telescopes. 1t will slowly bright
en- during next winter, being visible
from nearly all parts Of the earth.
Gradually approaching the sun, it will
make its perihelion passage at a dis
lance Of about 100000 miles from
the solar globe on the 18th of next
April. Its greatest brightness is ex-
pected to occur after the periheliOn
passage. when it will draw nearer the
earth and be visible in both the even
ing and morning sky. But at that time
1t will be south Of the celestial equator
and consequently better seen from the
southern hemisphere. About May 1S
the comet will be only 100000 or
100000 miles from the earth. al
though for more than a month it will
have been retreating from the sun.
Just what it's appearance will be no
n can predict. 1t is the Proteus of
space. 1t may blaze with amazing
splendor. as it did when trembling Eu-
rope saw it in an avatar of the con-
quering sword Of the prophet Of Mec-
ca, or it may be relatively insignif-
cant. but in any event it will fix the
attention of mankind and for oS+rono-
mers will be the most interesting phe-
nomenon seen in the sky for many dec
AIDES.

realize that in the general advance in

there Is still a great work to be accom-

traits, etc., of the great man never lose
interest, and in the near future a me-
mortal is to be erected to his memory
that the entire country may share in
and feel proud of.
For several years the George Wash
ington Memorial association has been
before the public, and a great many
prominent people have been interested
in it. This movement has received a
new impetus recently, plans having
been made to give it a wider scope,
which seem to insure complete success
in the undertaking. These plans in
clude giving the patriotic men and wo-
men throughout the country a chance
to assist in the good work with sub
scriptions Of 81 or more and to awaken
interest among the school children and
let them feel that they have an owner
ship, so to speak, in the memorial they
will each be asked to give the small
sum Of 10 cents.
The George Washington Memorial
association was Incorporated in the
city of Washington in September.
1893, in response to a call made to
the patriotic women of this country in
August Of the same year. The asso-
citation determined to raise a fund for
the erection Of a building, to be known
as the George Washington Memorial
building. in commemoration of our first
president and his interest In higher
education in America.
Many, perhaps all. know that Wash
ington in his last will July. 1880 pro-
vided $4,000 for the endowment Of a
university in the District Of Columbia.
