HaIley's comet is so called not be-
cause HALEY discovered it, for it had
long been known, but because he was
tie first to calculate it's orbit and 10

1856 and was educated at ST. Paul's
school and queens college, Oxford. He
was notable astronomer, Travelled
much on the continent and was

| 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

predicted just such a success for her
as she has won. In consideration Of
her acknowledged triumph her name
has been emblazOned on the electric
sign in front of the theater at which
she is playing, and in other ways the
world has been given notice that Miss
Ferguson is now a star.
Miss Ferguson is a native New York
er. Her father died before she was
born, and she has had to depend large
ly on the advice and guidance of her
elder brother. Now she conducts her
self much like woman thoroughly
able to take care Of herself and man
age her own affairs.
The play in which the actress has
won such marked success, Such a
Little Queen" is a stirring romance by
Charming Pollock. She takes the part
of the little queen of Herzegovina, a
role that gives her a splendid oppor-
tunity to display her ability. Miss
Ferguson employs delightful German
accent, not a dialect, in her part, and
many people have wondered how she
acquired it.
MY mother is German" she eX-
planned, land l learned the language
when l was very young. But my Ger
man has fallen into disuse, and when
l got this part l employed the summer
months in studying the language ac-
cording to an up to date system. Then

cent is perfect. If l were giving adj
