MOST FAMOUS OF COMETS

Halley's comet, which is APP
preaching the earth at a constantly
increasing speed, and to catch the
first traces of which photographic
plates are being exposed at obser-
vatories all over the world, will not
be so striking an object as Donatl's
comet, which in 1850 spread sclmi-
lar-like over a gree part OF the
heavens. Yet two points in its
history make it the most famous of
all comets its long sequence of APP
pearances at intervals of about Is
years, which have been traced back
to 240 B. c., and the circumstances
under which it became associated
with the name of Edmund HALEY.
Newton's theory of gravitation
suggested that comets might belong
to the solar system, moving about
the sun in long illipsts and PARADE
las. HALEY, on his appointment
as Savilian professor of geometry
at Oxford in 1904 followed up the
work of beloved master by COM
putting the orbits for "a comets
from 1887 to 1908.
As an accidental outcome OF this
he discovered that the orbits OF
three of them those of 1881, 1907
and 1882 were so nearly alike as
to suggest the identity of the COM
cts. The period of their appear
ances varied between "A and rs
years, but this could be accounted
for by the pull of the planets, and
hence HALEY decided that they
were really Temperatures OF the
comet.
Before his death, in 1742, he re-
hected that, although he could not
hope to see the comets return, it
it did appear, "about the year
1885," posterity would remember
that it was an Englishman who
first predicted it.
The comet returned in 1859, as
HALEY predicted, the slight delay
before also forescen as due to plan
etary attraction. 1t has appeared
once since then, and we are now
watching for its third calculated
appearance. London Mail.

GATHERING LOCALS

This thing Of gathering locals for
a weekly newspaper is the hardest
proposition a publisher has to 60
up against outside Of raising enough
money in an hours time to lift
C. O. d. package of papers. We
mean those little items about your
friends visiting you which take
some thirty or forty to fill a column.
To the average reader this seems
like a very easy matter, and it
would be, we suppose, if the editor
had nothing to do except stand on
the street corners from Monday
morning until the night before the
press day; but he has a thousand
and one other things during the
week to claim his attention. The
best friend a newspaper man has is
the man or woman who writes down
thename of a person who is visit
ing at their home; giving all partlc-
ulars, and sending it to the office.
But these are very scarce about
one in $500. Another good friend
is the fellow who comes in the office
at least once a day and in CONVEX
sation with the editor puts him
next to couple of gooditems each
time he calls. May the Lord de-
liver us from the fellow who spends
at least two hours a day in the edi-
tors sanctum and never lets an
item escape him until the paper is
off the press and in reading it over
tells how many people have gone
away or are visiting friends whose
names are not mentioned EX-
change.

CATTLE MARKET SHORT?

The cost of living will show con-
timed increase next winter, accord
ing to reports from the cattle pro-
ducing States of the Southwest.
Judge Samuel H. Cowan, of Fort
Worth, Texas, the attorney Of the
National Live Stock Association,
who is in Washington, figures that
the cattle market is now short l.
100000 head of cattle.
"The price of beef during the
coming winter will increase to a
point now unheard of, " Judge Cow
an, "for the demands much great
er than the supply. Unusually
high prices will be asked for other
meats. As rejecting the live stock
shortage, last Saturday h o g s
brought top-notch prices of the CEN
tury at the Fort Worth packing
plants.
Meanwhile an American scientist
has been engaged in work for a
South American Government which
may now bring relief from the
threatened food shortage. In 1906
DR.. d. E. Salmon, chief of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry of the Ag-
ricultulal Department, went to Ur-
uguay and organized asslmilar bu-
reau for that Government. AS q
result of his efforts. meats from
Uruguay were much improved and
now pass the rigid inspection insist
ed upon by European Governments.
According to report to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
by Consul Cooling, of Montevideo,
Uruguay and Argentina are looking
toward to invading American mar
kets He says that American bus!-
ness men have been conducting in
vestigations in those countries rel
ative to the shipment of beef and
mutton from Montevideo to New
York and have expressed the opin-
ion that the project is practicable
and would be profitable. Uruguay
has passed law relieving shippers
of frozen meats from the payment
of export duty for 10 years.

ASUCCESSFUL CAREER.

If every soldier of Napoleon was
said to carry field marshal's ba-
ton in his knapsack, it may be with
a much smaller element of exagger-
alton be said that every American
boy carries with him the posslblll-
ties of wealth and distinction.
Edward H. Hartman, like most
of the presidents of the Pennsylvan-
ia Railroad, and like the heads OF
twenty of the leading railway sys-
TENS of the country of the present
day, was entirely a self-made man,
thrown early in life on his own re-
sources, and his introduction into
the world of finance was as office
boy for a brokerage house. His
successor as chairman of the execu-
tive of the Union Pacific, Judge
Lovett, is not yet fifty years old,
and he had several years ago achiev-
ed distinction in his profession that
Mr.. Hartman engaged him as his
personal counsel, and we may wei
suppose that his income in that ca
pacity was not meager.
Judge Lovett worked on a farm
so far away from the financial GEN.
ter of the country as Texas. Thir-
ty-fve years ago he worked as a
clerk in a store in a railroad town
at $40 a month and his board. He
became station agent in that unlm-
portant village. Then he was clerk
in freight office at $40, he studied
law, succeeded in its practice and
especially in the legal business of
railroads.
Perhaps not all men attain sue
cess who deserve, but persons who
have reason to tell us that it is not
easy to find men to capable of hold
ing important positions in business
management. Lovett may have
some luck. There may be still in
the freight office in Houston some
clerk of equal capacity who did not
have a chance, or thinks he did
not. But Lovett studied law while
earning his living as clerk. He
pried open door to success. A
man now dead, who had attained
the presidency of the New York
Central Railroad, stuck to his clerk
ship in the freight office and landed
in a position Of great honor and
emolument. Perhaps third clerk
was equally competent, but did not
get ahead The chances are, how
ever, that he lacked push rather
than opportunity. Success is gen.
orally deserved, and most of those
who deserve it attain it.--Phila-
delphia Record.

1t looks very much like Clifton
Forge is going to have another
railroad, and what is more the IN
dications point to the early con-
struction of this newroad. within
the past week or ten days the men
who are behind the movement to
build railroad from Keyser, W.
Va, to Clifton Forge have been
looking over the proposed route
for the new road, and from what
can be learned they are well satlsfi-
ed with the outlook. The object
in building this railroad is to con-
meet the c.. & O. and B. & O. rail
WAYS and develop section of coun-
try rich in timber and minerals. All
of the plans have not matured, but
it is pretty MISUNDERSTOOD thaC the
terminals will be at Keyser andin this
city. From news clipping repro
duccd in The Review from the High
land Recorder it would appear that
the promoters Of this new line OF
railway mean business. Weare glad
that this is so for it will not help
only this community and session,
but will serve also as a great feeder
to the C. & O. railway. Our adj
vice to the people is to encourage
this enterprise. -Staunton Specta-

FLYING AN ANCIENT ART

The Subject of aviation is all alb
sorbing lust now. We are told
that when the great international
contest cameotf recently at Rheims,
France. machines rose from various
parts Of the field as birds from a
meadow in morning. All sizes.
shapes and designs, were visible,
and the air became 50 filled with
them that the unframed eye of the
assembly could hardly keep track
of any particular one. 1t would
seem to many that flying in the air
is a somewhat new idea, coming
only with the Wright aeroplane, or
the derigible balloon exhibited at
the St. Louis exposition.
But. this is not the case. 1t is
an idea as old as man himself, that
man might have artificial wings
and fly. We read in holy writ
where angels few, and dragons
with outspread wings swept through
space.
It is noticeable that in the mag
ination OF men who undertake to
picture angels that they are always
shown with the wings of bird,
whilst 1.-The Dragon, that old SER
pent which is the Devil" is painted
with the wings of q vampire, the
enlarged wings we may say OF our
common house bat. This charac-
ter of wing, the bat wing, has been
the one which those who would fly
have long adopted.
In Rasselas, which was written
about one hundred and fifty years
ago, DR.. Samuel Johnson devoteS a
chapter to the "art of flying" The
Artist" in the chapter is made to
say to Rasselas: Il have long been
of opinion that instead of the tardy
conveyances of ships and chariots,
man might use the swifter migra-
ton of wings, that the fields of the
air arc open to knowledge, and that
only ignorance and idleness need
crawl upon the ground. "
But the same fear seized the ar
fist then that seizes the British
mind now, the fear of invasion, for,
said the artist to RaSselas, If all
men were vurtuous, | would with
great alacrity teach them 70 fly.
But what would be the security of
the good if the bad could at pleas
ure invade them from the sky? =
Even this valley, tie retreat OF
prices. the abode Of happiness
might be violated by the sudden
descent of some Of the naked ma
tons that swarm on the coast of
the South Sea.
In their efforts to fly, as told in
that chapter, they considered the
structure of all volant animals and
found the bats wings most easily
accommodated to the human form
They left vulture and eagle wings
behind" 1t is said that the maker
chose a promontory. as a starting
point, that he Topped his wings a
few times to- gather air, then leap
ed from his position and fell into
the water below, as has done many
another aviator. Professor Langley
for instance.

Weak
Heart Action

There are certain nerves
that control the action
of the heart. When they
become weak, the heart
action is impaired. Short
breath, pain around heart,
choking sensation, palpi-
tation, futtering, feeble
or rapid pulse, and other
distressing symptoms fol-
low. DR.. Miles Heart Cure
is a medicine especially
adapted to the needs of
these nerves and the mus
cular structure of the
heart itself. It is a
strengthening tonic that
brings speedy relief.
Try it.
"For years I suffered with what I
thought was stomach trouble, when
the doctors told me / had heart
trouble. 1 had tried many remedies,
