Judge Grosscup's decision was to the
effect that the railroads had a legal
right to work telegraph operators more

The commission insisted that 1s

Astronomers of Chicago and vicinity,

''There can be but little doubt that
the tail of the colossal visitor, being

feel it, said DR.. d. J. MeHugh, as

earth s atmosphere is much more dense
than the tail of the comet. Friction
with the atmosphere would destroy it

the speed of the heavenly traveller may
have forced some of it into the tail.
