CALUMET HoUoHToN COUNTY MICHIGAN TUESDAY DEcEMBE
THIS Is SHORTEST DAY.
Earth Reaches Winter soIstioe, which
Marks Beginning of Winter.

Washington. ID. c., Dec. 2l.-For this
latitude today Is the shortest day Of
the year and at six O'clock tomorrow
morning, mean Washington time, the
earth will reach the winter solstice,
which, astronomically speaking, marks
the beginning OF winter. In its mad
rush around its eliptical orbit around
the sun, the earth. twice every astron-
omical year. reaches points which
mark respectively the longest and the
sortest distance OF the earth from the
sun. These points represent the turn
ing points OF the four seasons, the 'vec-
nal equinox and the autumnal equinox,
when day and night are OF. equal
length. the summer solstice, Nhen the
day is longest and the night shortest,
and the winter solstice, when the day
Is shortest and the night longest. On
the southern hemisphere the order is
reversed and while December 21 usual
~ marks the shortest day of the year
on the northern hemisphere, ON the
southern hemisphere il marks tho
longest of the year and the beginning
of the astronomical summer.
The ancient Greeks called the period
including the seven days preceding
and the seven days following the
shortest day of the year "the Halcyon
days" This phrase is derived from the
myth that during this period, while the
kingfisher or halcyon bird was breed
ing, the sea was always calm. Accord
ing to poetic fiction, the bird was re-
presented as hatching It's eggs in a
floating nest In the midst of waters.

GIRL MAY GET
XMAS PARDON
Kansas Young Woman Sentenced
for Murder May Be Set
Free by Governor.
MANY INTtRCfDt FOR her
Has Served Seven Years of Twenty.
Five Year Sentence for Murder
Clemeney is Urged Because of
Her Age and Sex.

Topeka, Kas., Dec. 21.-A pardon
from Governor Stubbs may be receiv-
ed as Christmas gift by Jessie Nor
rison, the Eldorado murderess, VINO
is serving a sentence OF twenty-five
years in the penitentiary. Ever since
the prison gates closed behind the
young woman seven years ago unre-
mitting efforts have been made to Sc
cure her release. Men and women OF
wealth and influence have been active
in her behalf. Foremost among these
was the late Col. Ben t. Murdock. the
Eldorado editor and brother of Con-
gresham Victor Murdoch, who de-
clared shortly before his death that
one or his greatest ambitions was to
secure the freedom of Jessie Morri-
son.
Had Colonel Murdock lived o few
months longer IL is extremely prob
able that he would have seen his am
bition realized. for 1t Is generally be-
lieved that Governor Stubbs has about
woman and will take action in the
matter at an early date. 1t is known
fact that Mr.. Stubbs himself was in
clined several years ago to join the
movement for pardon for Miss Nor
rison, but since his election to the
governorship he has hesitated to take
any hasty action in the matter. Re-
Gently petition signed by many OF
the foremost citizens OF Eldorado has
been presented to him, asking for the
pardon of Miss Morrison. To this has
been added the pleadings of a number
OF the governors most intimate friends
and advisors. In view OF the strong
pressure that is being brought to bear
upon him IL Is regarded as almost
certainty that Governor Stubbs will
grant the young woman pardon. at
an early date.
The case of Miss Morrison is one of
! the most noted in the criminal rec
ords OF Kansas. There has never been
any question of her guilt of the muir
der of Mrs Clara Castle. but those
who have urged mercy in her behalf
have based their pleas on her age, her
| sex, and the furtner TACT tltt t"e
conduct of Olin Castle husband of the
victim, had been such as to arouse
Miss Morrison to a frenzied passion.
Miss Morrison was in love with Olin
Castle They were employed in the
same store in Eldorado and were en-
gagged TO be married. without notice
to her Castle married young woman
named Clara Wiley. Shortly there
after Miss Morrison went to the Castle
home and the two women engaged In
death struggle. Mrs. Castles throat
was cut with razor from ear to ear
and she died few days later.
| Jessie Morrison was charged with
the crime. She pleaded self-defense

At the second trial she was convicted
Of manslaughter and sentenced to fivt

Notwithstanding the recommenda-

tain. Five of the suggestions made by
the special committee selected by Pres

The commission again suggests thai

the reasonableness of the proposed

The commissions authority to estab-

EARTH WILL HIT COMET.
Charroppin Says We viii. Pass
Through TaiI Without Danger.

St Louis Mo-, Dec. 21.-Rev. G. M.
Charroppin, S. j., the astronomer OF
st Louis University, has been making
interesting telescope observations
concerning Halley's comet, which, he
saws. will begin to be visible to the
naked eye in April. Father Charro-
ppin has recently returned from f1ag-
taft, Ariz., where he made observations
in the large telescope of DIR. Lowel.
AT that time" Ne says ain October
the comet appeared like a mere point
of nebulous matter but now 1t begins
to develop "A tiny little tail somewhat
curved. With good telescope IL
will easily be found in the Hyades,
not far from the bright red star Al
debaron, in the constellation Oh
Taurus.
I'm all probability the comet may
not be seen with the naked eye be-
fore next April, and then IL will be
difficult object to ST. Louisians, as
the comet will be near the horizon III
the morning. We should look for IL
i'm the constellation of Pisces, the
Fishes. near the northeastern horizon
before sunrise.
about May II 1t will be con-
snicuous object in the eastern sky
a magnificent sight, which will be APP
preciated by early risers. After May
Is il will be seen soon after sunset
on the western horizon with its taii
moving forward. Every night there-
after II will be observed little tar-
ther from the sun, and consequently
higher in the sky, until IL will fade
away from sight; but astronomers VIII
still follow IL in their telescopes Tor
months.
Meeting to Be Very Tame.
"The comet will reach perihelion, It's
nearest approach to the sun, the night
Of Nav Is. and as 1t swings it's appen-
dia forward, most probably the earth
will pass through its tail.
| "Those who expect great pyro-
technic display will be disappointed
The tail of the comet, consisting OF
very tenuous matter, will not even
penetrate our atmosphere. We VIII
pass quietly through at the rate oil
eighteen and one half miles per sec
ond. without suspecting that we are
within the tail of great comet.
astronomers expect a transit of the
neucleus of the comet across the sun
disk. but the least deviation In the
comets path may upset the presen'
calculations. Such a transit shouio
determine whether the neucleus Is Sol
id or not. but, unfortunately TINS
phenomenon will happen during th'
night and will be Invisible In Amer
ica."
