close beside the ant-hill.
Get a 10Y ON you" called Blake.
You're slow. Grab a bunch Of leaves,

want to be stung.'
Ninthrope neither gathered any

vas visited by a highly Initiated bee.
Then he obeyed with alacrity. Blake

Blake caught Winthrope smiling
with satisfaction as he licked his fin
gers.
What's the matter with my expe-
oition now, old mani" he demanded.
"I-ah-must admit, Blake, we have

Mr.. Blake? My hands are dr2adfully

Win will take you. It's only a lit

rot much underbrush."
IF you think it's quite safe re-
marked Winthrope.
It's safe enough. Go on. You'll
see the river in half a minute. Only

gators"

Miss Leslie caught W~inthrope's eye.
He turned on his heel, and led the
way for her through the first thicket.
Beyond this they came to a little glade
which ran through to the river. When
hey reached the bank, they stepped
aautiously down the muddy slope, and
tathed their hands in the clear water.
AS Miss Leslie rose, Winthrope bent
ever and began to drink.

,laimed; please don't! In your weak

the writer is now making arrangements to journey
Tasmania next spring for the express purpose of
witnessing this wondrous sight Three times she
has been enabled to observe the marvellous glory OF
the corona at the total eclipses of the which
occurred in 1896 1900 and 1905, but to see Haleys
comet near the similar occasion in all its
glory is simply irresistible.
According to- the ephemeris of A. D. c. Crom-
melin and D. Smart the comet must be looked
for in. the constellation Taurus during the month
of November this constellation being the we'll
known group of stars Orion On November 20 it
will pass very close to the bright star Aldebaran,
the leading brilliant in the constellation Taurus
During January the comet will pass through the
stellation Aries and Pisces, and on March 21 will
pass near Algenib, in the constellation Pegasus
After about April it will be matter of some uncer
tainty how long it will be possible the comet
it approaches the neighborhood of the IL will
certainly cease to be visible much longer in the
evening, but will reappear in the morning early in
May, still in the northern hemisphere, and still in
Pisces, where it will be until about May H. After
that the comet will pass into the southern hemisphere
and remain there until disappears altogether, which
may be in June July.
The comet will be nearest to the earth-that is,
about 100000 miles, and therefore at its maximum
brilliancy-about May 1S, but the moonlight will to
spoil the view OF the comet, that, all
things considered the best view will be May p.
After leaving the constellation Pisces, about May a.
the comets path will be through Aries, Taurus,
Gernini, the head Of Orion, CAMS Minor Hydra,
Sextans, the feet of Leo and Virgo, where it will
probably be last but the long days and short
nights and the full moon on May p, with
night at all during many weeks will seriously inter-
fere with cometary observations.
After the has whirled around the sun, having
attained by that time its maximum speed of 1873
miles minute, it will begin its return journey to
the regions beyond the outermost planet, Neptune,
not returning for another "a Is years On its way
it will pass number of bright stars, which
will be visible observers living in the southern
hemisphere, at the cape, in Australia or in New
Zealand and be by them for long time
The bright stars along the pathway, shining like
beacon lights marking the celestial milestones of the
comets track, will be Adebaran in Taurus; Betel-
geuze in Orion; Gamma Geminorum and Procyon in
the constellation of CAMS Minor.

The Efficient Human Engine

THE human organism IS machine of very high
efficiency according to the latest researches
the action of foods, made at the University Of
Sheffield, England by Professor Macdonald and at
Wesleyan university, Middleton, Conn, by tProfes-
sors Atwater and Benedict This means that an un-
usually large proportion OF the chemical energy
tanned in food is transformed within the body into
the mechanical energy of muscular movement.

heat energy in its furnace Explosion motors do
better. gas or gasoline engine into useful
work about 20 per cent of the energy possessed by
the working substance The human body does still
better utilizing about Fl per of the energy that
is put into it. Thus the efficiency of the human
chine despite the fact that its mental functions
almost continuously in action and that quantities Of
energy are used up within the body to operate the
internal organs is nearly twice great that of
steam engine and little higher than that OF inter-
nal combustion engine. This. too, is normal per-
formance, which is greatly exceeded in special
An athlete, according Professor Atwater's expert
ments, may have efficiency as high SO per cent
What this may realize when we recollect
that heat engine if ideally perfect, can utilize
more than fraction OF the energy used in running it,
and that the size Of this fraction is proportional to the
extent of temperature within which the engine
works-in steam engine, for instance, the differ
between the temperature OF the boiler and that
of the condenser. Now the human machine works
between limits of temperature that very close

CantriIl With the BurIey Society

That Congressman ]. Campbell Can
trill. president of the Kentucky Union
of the Society of Equity, will stand
by the peace pact made at Winchester
with the 3urley Tobacco Society, re-
CARELESS of what others do, was shown
Wednesday night when he announced
at his home in Georgetown that he
would not attend the meeting of the
tobacco department of the Society of
Equity at Bowling Green.
Mr.. Cantrill by no means stands
alone in his decided position toward
the alliance with the Burley Society,
as he stated Wednesday night that he
had received letters from a large ma
jority of the executive board of the
Society of Equity in Kentucky indors-
ing the agreement made at Winchester
and supporting his position in the mat
ter.
! Mr.. Cantrill holds that the recent
differences between the Society of
Equity and the Burley Society cannot
come up at the Bowling Green meet
ing as it is a meeting only of the
national tobacco growers. which have
nothing to do with the Equity Unions.
