COMET sPoILs WEATHER.
Freak of June Attributed to Effects of
Celestial Visitor.

From the New York World.
All the freaks of nature which people
have been remarking lately are due, ac-
cording to Edwin F. Naulty, to the new
comet which he and DR.. Brooks of Ho-
bart college announced to the world
three weeks ago. This behavior threat
ems to become worse until such time
as the comet shall pass the earth and
its light reaches us by recession instead
Of by DETECTION, as now. That means that
June will continue to be as little like it's
old self as were the earlier months Of
the year. By July the transit ought to
be made and let the weather swing back
to the normal
Meanwhile says Mr.. Naulty, watch out
for more marine disasters. The two that
furnished startling news last week are
only the beginning of a SERIES Ship
compasses have gone wrong from this
evil influence, Mr.. Naulty says, and
mariners find the guides that have al
ways been their main reliance running
to all sorts of error. Since wednesday
last, while the morning skies have warn
ed people to carry umbrellas, and fog
and mist have often justified the warn
ing, the local barometers have held stead
lily fair.
The fault has not been with the ba-
rometers, but with the comet, which has
so sufused the atmosphere as to make
people think 1t cloudy when the overhead
appearance was due merely to shafts of
comet light
The doubt that has beset the masses of

MORE CADETS NEEDED.
Colonel Scott Points Out Conditions at
West Point.

From the New York Mail.
Colonel Scott superintendent of the Mill
tary academy at West Point, has pre-
pared a memorandum on conditions at
that institution which deserves the seri-
Gus attention of Congress.
He points out that the classes gradu-
ated from the academy in the last 10
years have averaged 81 short of the num-
Der required to fill the vacancies in the
commissioned personnel of the army
caused by ordinary casualties, such as
death, resignation, and retirement, the re-
suit being that of all the line officers
now in active service only 2S.6 per cent
are West Pointers.
The Importance of these facts is easily
indicated. In the last 10 years the man
ner of conducting military operations has
undergone radical changes The intro
duction of smokeless powder. machine
guns rifles of greatly increased range
and high-angle artillery fire. together
with the use of electrical appliances for
fire control, signaling, etc, has made the
fghting of battles largely by matter of
scientific application. Henceforth battles
will be fought by adversaries invisible to
one another. and issues will be determined
by commanders securely shielded miles
remote from the zone of fire. Delicate in
struments which enable the officer to locate
the enemy beyond distant ranges of hills,
higb-power guns capable of dropping
proiectiles upon an objective half days
march away, and many other devices first
tested in the Russo-Japanese war mean
that in the next great conflict the actual
field of battle will be practically empty
so far as visible factors are concerned,
and that the struggle will be determined
chiefly by means of scientific and me-
chanical agencies securely hidden from
observation.
These changed conditions signify that
the officer capable of efficient service in
futuhe war must be a man not only of
thorough military training. but of highly
specialized scientific education. To ex-

One Comfort.

From the Delineator.
Dick was a clean little boy, and dirt
dsgusted him. One day he found poor
little starved kitten crouching in a ditch
at the roadside and he brought the wet,
muddy little waif home with him.
He took it to the hydrant and carefully
rinsed off all the mud, but the shock was
too great for the sick kitty and the
breath of life departed.
Dick brought her to his mother. who
exclaimed at the sight of the wet, droop-
ing kitten, why, Dick, what have you
done?''
She was all mud and l washed her, "
Dick replied. 30, Dick" his mother said
sorrowfully, I'm afraid she's dead. "
Dick looked shocked and grieved for
moment, then his face lighted up with a
CLEAN of comfort as he exclaimed:

A Sunday school teacher, who had

of girls one Sabbath in the lesson. All
were mischievous and restless, except
Mary, who sat at the end of the class
and apparently gave the utmost atten-
ton to every word The teacher was de-
lighted. At the close of the recitation,
thinking that she would rebuke the
naughty girls for their want of atten-

that she would now ask Mary to name
