Naming Of the Comet.
: 1t has been ascertained that the
period Of Halley's comet Is in general
about seventy-flve years, though It Is
sometimes little less and sometimes
several years more. the differences be-
Ing due to the influence Of the planets
which II passes In going and coming.
This Is therefore historic comet and
by no means an upstart. for it has
recently been traced back to more
than 200 years before Christ.

ENGLAND's DANGER.

Lord Beresford Tells Why She Must
Retain Supremacy at Sea.
Although Admiral Lord Charles Ber-
esford did not mention Germany by
name in speech recently made at q
luncheon given him by the Pilgrims Of
the Unified States at the Lawyers
club in New York. the men who heard
him took il for granted that he had
the kaiser's country in mind when be
intimated that he feared war for his
country in the near future. His;m
direct hit was In the following SEN
tence, which came after long argu-
ment in favor Of an adequate British
navy: 3g
Personally l must confess that l am not
at ease concerning the outlook for the
immediate future / can see red spots in
the sky
And this:
II England loses the supremacy Of the
sea she Is doomed. That will be the end
Of the British empire. s
He supplemented that remark with
this:
A European war will set back the prog
ress Of the world 100 years.
In his speech Lord Beresford said:
I am going to be very brief, for l real
lie that in this part of the town the time
for some Of you is worth 100000 min
ute. First let me speak Of my recent
trip in Canada. One thing that delighted
me was the cordial feeling found among
all classes toward the linked States. Ill

to have been captured BY some of the
planets. A comet comes journeyinz

Jupiter, for example, that its speet
is slowed down below the critica

April to Oct. 1.
The Hatless Club of Baldheaded

DR.. Clark, the national president and

Speaking of the results, he said
delegates - all baldheaded were
present from all over the country. We
adopted a rule that makes 1t compul-

There always has been and still "
much Of mystery as to the nature Of
comets. Where they came from no
one knows. but they are In the uni
verse journeyllg through space. When
first sighted a comet looks only like
faint nebula changing it's position
among the fixed stars. AS it draws
nearer the sun 1t becomes brighter and
begins to shoot out Gail. Yet nearer,
the head can be recognized as quite
distant from the tail and-a bright core
at the center of the head called the
nucleus. Great comets like Halley's
are described as presenting head as
large as the moon. shining with the
brightness Of Venus and stretching out
the tail over one-third of the sky, Hal
ley's comet has shown tail forty five
degrees long, which is equal to pro-
cessien of ninety full moons. As 1t
does not always appear the same. 1t IS
likely on the present occasion to have
length either greater or less. :, :,

part, consisting probably of mass OF
particles like stones held together by
their mutual grayitation. The increas-
ing heat-of the sun as it approaches that
body develops vapors, which envelop
the nucleus and are driven back into
space in the form Of the tail. 1t Is note
worthy that the tail always streams
away from the sun, going before the
head when the sun retires into space.
This. so long a mystery, Is now be-
lieved to be due to the pressure of light
from the sun, so great force that not
less than 10000 tons Of it ever rest
upon the earths surface. The tail Is
extremely thin, so that the faintest
stars can be seen through a million
miles OF it's thickness. The earth has
once or twice passed through comets
tail and suffered No harm. Ii, how
ever, there should occur head-on col
lision with the nucleus it would not
only be the end of the comet, but might
seriously damage II not ruin the earth.
If nothing more, it would be likely to
introduce noxious gases into our at
mosphere, which would as swiftly pro-
duce death as the descending fumes Of
Mont Pelee. We have already shown
that no collision is possible with Hal
ley's comet, nor as long as we believe
that human history is yet to be con-
summated and that divine plan lies
back Of the universe can we indulge In
now Anticipated fears. Nothing Is less
probable, even astronomicaHy, than a
cometary collision. However, there is
some ground for believing that in that
strange Curiosity Of the plains, Coon
Butte, Ariz. we have the evidence that
just once comet struck the earth, but
If so, whether before or after the ad-
vent OF man. we have no means OF
knowing.

transformed by the presence of this
not unwelcome stranger. 1t will be
seen the world over. Peary at the
north pole and Shackleton at the south
pole would each be cheered by its
radiance, and seventy-flve years hence

Governor Glenn, who handed over
the reins of government to Hon. Will
liam W kitchin on last Tuesday. re-
tires from the executive chair with
the favor of his fellow-citizens. His adj
ministration was exceedingly strenu-
Gus. The Governor hates dull time,
and if there was nothing doing he
generally managed to get things
moving. He has been criticised for
his much speaking, but no man can
question the motive that prompted
him to underdergo the great labor
that he performed. He made mis-
takes, of course, for he is not perfect,
but taken rs a whole his administra-
ton was notable for many pactical
achievements. Few Governors have
been called upon to settle graver,
more difficult or more delicate uues-
tions than he, but in the m ain he en-
ercised great wisdom in facing these
problems, and they have all been met
and mastered. Gov Glenn is impul-
sive, and not always discreet. On
the spur of the moment he used ex-
pressions occasionally that were not
wise, but these are minor matters
and should not and do not weigh
against him in the general review of
his fine service as the States chief
executive. He was not a mollycoddle,
nor 81 gate-post. He stood four
square to all the winds that blew,
especially so in the moral realm He
is Christian. and showed his colors.
He is a temperance man, and al
though falsely accused and bitterly
assailed at this point, he never VII
vered once in his allegiance to the
cause of prohibition. His love for his
State amounts to a passion, and
wherever he went he sounded her
praises. He gives himself now to the
work, primarily, of upbuilding North
Carolina, and we hope that in the
new sphere he has chosen he will be as
widely useful as he has been for the
past four years. The best wishes of
our people will follow Governor Glenn
wherever he may go.

The unanimous denomination OF
Senator Overman by the Democrats
of the Legislature in joint caucus
had so long been a foregone con-
clusion that it calls for but brlefcom'
ment. This action of the caucus
reflected not only the unanimous
wish of all Democrats but, We believe,
a unanimous verdict OF appreciation
proceeding from wholesome and IN
telligent public opinion without re,
gard TO party. 1t is d well-recognlzed
fact that Senator Overman' re-elec-
ton candidacy was distinct element
OF Democratic strength in the late
campaign. The Senator, the nrst
choice of all Democrats was also the
first choice among Democrats OF all
good Republicans. 1t only remains
to say that i'm his one term he has
gained at Washington a prestige
which agrees we'll With the esteem III
which he is held by his people at
nome. A Senator of more attractive
personality Senator of sOunder
qualifications for constructive states
manship, a Senator who looks the
part more indisputably, the Senate
has not often seen. In every respect
Senator, Overman represents MS
State with marked and constantly
growing distinction. The people OF
North Carolina cannot be said to
lack sound political instinct so long
as they accord such men their high
est hOnOrs.
