Striking a Comet.

If we ask the effect of comets
striking the earth we will readily see
that If the head of the comet were COM
posed of powders a collision would
have disastrous consequences. A rain
of millions Of great meteoric stones
would. of course. bring catastrophe.
If. however. 1t were merely rain Of
small particles or dust we might never
become conscious of it. for the parti-
Giles would never reach us. They would
be fused into gas through friction with
our atmosphere many miles before
reaching the surface, II the gases lib
Grated by friction were in excessive
volume we might suffer discomfort or
even disaster. 1t is estimated that
hundreds of millions of meteoric parti-
Giles strike our atmosphere every day
This would be serious matter if we
were not protected by our great shell
tering envelope of air. Occasionally a
meteoric bowlder is large enough to
resist the heat generated by this fric
ton and reaches the surface. This we
call meteorite. The now established
connection between comets and me-
teors Is a matter Of great interest

A. M00TED QUESTION.

Difference Between Suffragette and
Suffraaist Satisfactorily Explained.
10 response to the repeated and nu-
merouS inquiries as to What may be
the distinction between the suffragette
and the suffragist it may be well at
this time to define the difference.
Both are working for the cause at
issue. but. while the suffragist plods
along In the beaten track made by the
great pioneers Of the movement and
contents herself with methods conserv-
alive the suffragette is the product
Of the modern period. She Is up to
date in manner and method.
The suffragette Is militant. She is
awake to present conditions and en-
ploys methods which are In keeping
with those conditions. realizing the
helplessness of that important. though
outclassed. part of the people-the wo-
men.
The suffragette. further, realizes the
ineffectiveness of tea table and draw
ing room chat. Of indoor meetings
where the participants are mainly
those who are believers In suffrage.
And. furthermore. the suffragette is
conscious of the necessity Of convert
Ing the masses-all the people-and
therefore goes to the people direct, In
the streets. on the highways and by
ways. and holds open air gatherings
with able speakers to address the
crowds. So does the suffragette spread
the gospel Of woman suffrage indis-
criminately and effectively.
And still further does she recognize
the necessity for recruiting and en-
listing the men-the present voters.
They alone can make woman suffrage
possible. says Mrs. Sofa M. Loebin-
ger In the American Suffragette. The
voters must bring pressure to bear
upon their political bosses, who In
turn must instruct the legislators
whom they have placed in Office. 1t
is loves labor lost to send large dele
cations to the Legislature each year.
She wants 1t now. and she wants 1t
quick. She needs it. 1t is her just
right. her natural right and her con-
stitutional right.
She is too sensible to be stung by
any criticism. whatever may be the
source. and simply follows along the
path Of duty In her own way.
Woman suffrage today is too seri-
Gus question to be treated senti-
mentally or theoretically. Practical
treatment is needed
The suffragette is an expert in her
treatment Of the disease known as.
anti-suffragitis. She uses her anti
toxin in such treatment with wonder
full effect.
