able proof that such was the case
for it was apparent torn to pieces
during It's passage nearest the sun.
An outburst of matter from It's head,
directed towards the sun, was seen
on Mt, Dread, the seat of the Uni-
versity OF Kansas.
A very close relation Is found be-
tween some comets aud meteoric
swarms. The celebrated swarm OF
meteors of November 10, which is
due to appear every 33f years, has the
same period and travels along the
same path as does a small comet
discovered by Tempel, at Marseilles'
On the 10th of December, 1865. 1t Is
very probable that Tempel's comet Is
degenerating Int a swarm OF meteors
In 1926, Biela, an Austrian, dis
covered q comet whose orbital period
was six and half years. ln loio,
whilst men were watching 1t, the
body was suddenly split In two, and
for some time afterwards each part
Travelled along its path not far dis
tant from the other. Sidce 1852 the
comet has not been seen. But that
was not the end, for in 1872 brilliant
shower of meteors burst out from the
northern sky, moving along the
same path that the comet had
previously followed. The meteors
are, no doubt, the remains of Blela's
comet.
A remarkable comet appeared 10
l744, that had az one time no less
than seven tails spread out 10 a
wide curved brush behind 1t. Each
OF these tails had a length OF 80
degrees, more than one third of The
distance from the horizon to the
zenith, and possibly each one was
of substance differing
from that Of the others.

T.R. HEARS SERMON
ON STRENUOUS LIFE
Minister at Oyster Bay Church
Declares American People
Like Ease
Roosevelt Prepares for Confer
ence With Governor Hughes
on State Politics

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, July 10.-Sun-
day calm hung over Sycamore hill to-
day and Theodore Roosevelt enjoyed it.
He went to church this morning and
spent the rest of the day reading,
lounging on the veranda and walking
through the woods of his estate.
When Colonel Roosevelt went to
church this morning he was informed
that the people of this country do not
like the Strenuous life" of which he
has been such q conspicuous exponent.
Rev. w. r. Watson, rector of ST. Luke S
Episcopal church of Sea Cliff, L. l.,
preached.
People of America don't like the
strenuous life, said he. They don't
like the efficient life or the simple life.
They like the easy life."
Colonel Roosevelt did not appear to
take this as a reference to himself.
No visitors are expected at Sycamore
hill tomorrow. The stage is being
cleared fer the arrival on Tuesday of
Governor Hughes for a conference on
state politics, with particular reference
to the defeat of the direct primary bill.
Colonel Roosevelt already has let it
be known that he and the governor
will consider the best means to bring
about the enactment of this and other
legislation for which Governor Hughes
has fought.
