A YEAR OF TRIuMPHs.

The discovery of the north pole
and in the absence Of any proof to the
contrary the north pole will be con-
sidered as discovered-adds another
to the list of wonderful achievements
of the year 1909. The year has wit
messed the breaking of records in the
air, on land, on sea and under the sea.
The breaking Of records for time and
distance lights in heavier-than-air
flying machines have become so com,
mon as to attract little attention. The
dirigible balloon has been perfected
to an extent hitherto undreamed Of
The transatlantic record has been
repeatedly broken until ship has
crossed the ocean in less than five
days. A United States submarine has
made the fastest trip ever made un
der the waves. The wireless telegraph
has been perfected to an unusual de
gree. With the exception of the
fight Of three hours and fourteen
minutes in the aeroplane and the ex
ploits Of Count Zeppelin, all these rec
prds have fallen to Americans.
Thomas A. Edison, whose inventive
skill has been of great service to man
kind, declares that the achievement:

Prof. Wart of the Royal observatory

THE FLAG AT THE POLE.

Whether it develops that Cook first
discovered the pole or Peary was the
first to reach the coveted goal, or
both accomplished the feat, one thing
Is established-the stars and stripes
ia the flag they carried and America
gets the credit for the discovery.
What everyone hopes is that the
friends of Cook and the friends of
Peary will avoid acrimonious debate
until all the proofs have been present
ed and the honors are bestowed
where they belong.
A disposition has already been
shown to belittle Cooks story. Adj
miral Melville, Professor Chamberlain
and others were quick to express ere
dulity when Cook announced his dis
coyery. Yet when Pearys telegram ar
rived they were prompt to express the
opinion that the pole had been reach
ed. They seemed willing to accept the
statements of one without proof where
they implied they would not credit
proof from the other.
Peary's achievements in the field
Of exploration have earned him world
wide recognition. DR.. Cook, too, has
accomplished feats that should assure
him hearing. The latter has shown
no disposition to belittle Peary $
achievement. 81 am glad" he said
when told the news. Eve are rivals
OF course, but the pole is good enough
for two" Peary and his friends should
show the same spirit. When the
proofs are presented we shall know
where the credit belongs, and until
then there should be enough glory tc

London, Sept THE practice Of

"Many fashionable women today

their cigarettes as they do in choos-
ing new hat said the manager of
one of the most select tobacco-shops
in Piccadilly. with the craving for
tobacco there has sprung up a num-
Der of fads and fancies in connection
with cigarettes that mere man would
never dream of.
"The latest thing in society is to
have your crest or monogram emboss-
ed upon the cigarette in heavy gold.
To such an extent has this fashion
grown that we have thousands of or

GAS the smallest number Of cigar
cites we supply with the customers
crest is 1000, the huge consumption
of tobacco by women alone may cas-
lily be imagined. So far smoking
among women in England is confined
almost entirely to what is known as
the smart set, but in Germany 1t is
almost universal We export half q
million to that country every week.

COMET SOON TO
COME into SIGHT
DISCOVERY OF HALLEY's OF SEW.
ENTY-FIvE YEARS AGO is
TO RETURN.

Observatory of Juvisy, Sept. IT,
Camille Flammarion in a communities
ton to the New York Herald says:
Halley's famous comet, the most
important of all the comets, because
it is the one which gave occasion,
first to the English astronomer whose
name it bears and then to his success
sors, to discover the laws which these
wandering heavenly bodies obey and
to determine their orbits, will soon
again come within sight of the earth
after a voyage of nearly seventy-hve
years in the immensely of the heay-
ems. One may easily imagine the great
interest attaching to the return OF
this interchangeable voyager from space,
which has played such a great role In
astronomy and of which the eleven
former appearances, observed with
accuracy since the year 1866, cover
more than eight centuries of the
earth's history One may even go back
still farther, even to the year II before
our era and assign to this celebrated
T! comet twenty-five appearances which
have taken place in nearly nineteen
centuries, but the older observations
are not sufficiently precise for certain
| identification. 1t seems that its first
appearance memorable in the history
of France was that Of the year SGT,
in the reign Of Louis l., the Debon-
nair In every case after the year
1866 doubt is no longer possible.
Its Variable Period.
The period of this remarkable
comet varies from 74A years to 70
years on account of perturbations
caused by the planets Jupiter and
Saturn. Sometimes they accelerate its
progress, sometimes they retard it.
It's last return took place in 1885, the
one before that took place in 1883 and
wonderfully confirmed the cheering
prediction of HALEY.
The comet has presented very DIFF
ferent aspects in It's different reap
pearances. In 1866, the year of the
conquest Of England by Duke William
of Normandy, it had a great effect on
the people aid the army. In 1456, the
year of the war Of the Turks against
the Christians, of Mahomet ii against
Calixtus III, it was still more extra
. ordinary In 1859, on the contrary, as
we'll as in 1926, it was rather feeble.
At time when we are awaiting its
next return we may ask ourselves II
/ the conditions will be favorable to a
: fine appearance. Several astronomers
: among whom we may mention Ponte.
g coulant, F. Il. Seagrave, M. M. Cowell
e and Crommelin, have calculated the
orbit followed bysthfs comet in Its
!, long revolution about the sun, K
3 which it approaches at Its perihelior
/ nearer than the planet Venus-that II
l. to say, less than a hundred million
9 kilometres, and then goes away be
S yond the planet Neptune to reach Its
) aphelion at distance of ,00(
(. kilometres, an abyss thirty-five times
y greater than that which separates the
e earth from the sun.

American husbands. The. men here,
he says, show no placid or rested look.
They look careworn and weighted
down with responsibilities. And he
blames it all on the American woman.
The trouble with Motosoda is that he
landed here in very critical period.
How the dickens does he expect the
American husband, or the American
who is not husband, to look placid
