when it will draw nearer the earth.
on May Is the comet will be only IL
10000 miles from the earth.
The returns Of Halley's comet have
recently been traced back TO the year
240 b. c., but il has probably been re-
volving in it's eliptical orbit very much
longer than that.
Hallovs discovery, after its appear
ance il 1852, that it was a regular
visitor to the neighborhood of the sun
has always ranked as one of the CAPT.
tai triumphs OF astronomy His suspi-
cion that the comet of 1852 was not
paying its first visit TO the sun was
based upon the similarity between its
orbit in space and the orbits of two
other comets. which had appeared In
1907 and 1881, respectively CHc did
not guess its identity with the comets
of 1856 and 1860 II the three were
identical. then the same comet ought
TO return again after another interval
OF about seventy-six years. According
ly. HALEY ventured the prediction that
the comet would be back again i'm lf0e.
Edmund HALEY died in 1912 before
his prediction had been fulfilled but
astronomers OF the day followed his
prophecy and watched FOR the comet
in 1853, and sure enough it appeared.
Because HALEY determined It's period
lefty astronomers have named the COM
ct which appears once in every seven
ty-six years the HALEY comet.

SCHOOLCRAFT FARMERS TO
CONDUCT ANNUAL INSTITUTE
Superintendent L. r. Taft Writes and
Advances Information Concerning
Big Farmers institute to be Con-
Quoted in Torch Lake District MAY
Speak Here.

Il. +. Prince, secretary Of the farm
crs' institute, which embraces School
craft township, has received a COM
munication from l.. r. Taft, superin-
tendent of the Michigan Farmers in
stitute regarding the prospects of his
appearance here some time during the
winter. Mr.. Taft recommends calling
a meeting of the officers of the insti-
tute, including the vice presidents, at
as carly a date as possible to consider
plans for the gathering. He also sent
blanks which are to be filled out and
returned TO him at Lansing, which will
enable him to make the plans for the
institute and secure the necessary
speakers, should he not appear here
himself III does not recommend one
day institute, but advises the local Of
flcers to give the meeting sufficient
publicity through advertising.
Mr.. Taft states that at a conference
of the roundup institutes, it was voted
to have one man speaker on farming
topics, and one woman speaker at
each county institute, both to remain
for the two days. He deems 1t advis-
able where there is but a one day in
stitute, to have three sessions. Su-
perlntendent Taft sends a lengthy list
of topics from which the proper ones
may be selected.
The township institute officials eX-
pect to call a meeting to make prelim-
mary Arrangements for the institute
i'm a short time. The institutes are
practically free as the state pays the
expenses of the lecturers. The bulk
of the expense would be for advertising
purposes and this would be light as
each and every member could assist.

The approach of Halley's comet is
attracting the attention not only of as
tronomers but Of the laymen. There
are many Ifs" in astronomy and from
the diagram it is easy TO see that if
the earth should be in the position
marked No. l in March instead OF Oc-
tober, serious consequences might oc-
cur and If during the month of June
IN earth crossed the path of the Hal
ley comet instead OF during the month
of April, direful things might happen.
But as a matter OF fact, the governing
law which planned the circuits OF the
skies allowed for just these six months
difference in one case and two months
difference in another So there can be
no danger whatever of a collision be-
tween the HALEY comet and the earth.
This comet is approaching the earth
at about the rate Of 2,O0O.O0O miles a
day. 1t is now only about 00.000,O00
miles away It's nearest approach 10
the earth win be about 100000 miles
away. The comet will then be visible
to the naked eye for short time.
The HALEY comet scheduled is so ar
ranged that it appears only once TO
each generation of mankind. 1t was
here in 1885. and since then is esti-
mated to have Travelled $500 100000
miles. 1t viii be nearest the solar
globe on the thirteenth of next April

Lcinonen boy turned to him and said:

while he demurred against following
the suggestion. nc paid no attention 20
the remark. Leinonen placed the mua-
zle Of the weapon against his chest,
and remarked that he guessed his

and pulled the trigger. Up TO this
point Leferriere had thought that pes
haps tho gun of his companion was
not loaded. but on hearing the dis
charge realized that something serious
had happened.
CLIFTON. I'm shot" said Leinonen
quietly.
Leinonen tried to say something
more, but with convulsive heave Of
his body fell forward to the earth. La :
ferricrc spoke to him but received no
reply, and as young Lenonen lay still,
he concluded that his companion was
dead He started off to tell of the af-
fair and meeting two Finnish boys,
they returned TO the scene of the ira
gedy and examined the body. Then
they came down town and told the
father OF the dead boy, who notified

was done was twenty-five caliber
