Part of the Comet

Chicago Ill. February 4.-Father
McHugh, professor of astronomy at
De Paul University, said that de-
tails of the meteor explosion early
this morning in Northern Missouri
tended to confirm his theory that
this meteor and those recently re-
ported from Connecticut, are fire
balls that became detached from
Comet, A, 1910, when it passed
through the solar system and have
been travelling towards the earth
ever since. All of them exploded
on striking the earth. Little solid
matter has been found where they
struck, and this indicates that
they were composed mostly of gas
eous matter, such as comets are
supposed to be made of.
Comet AS balance of gravity
probably became disturbed as it
close to the rival pulls of
gravity from the various bodies In
the solar system, and it began to
d~isintegrate according 10 Father
McHugh's theory. This caused the
splitting and diminishing Of the tan
noted by various astronomers, and
several fragments got into the
zone Of the earth's attraction.

Mr. Dwight's idea is TO secure a de-
sireable class Of immigrants to settle on
the farms of New York, which are now
out OF use or partly abandoned and which
can be bought cheap. The Department OF
Commerce and Labor has knowledge of
many European farmers. with small CAPT.
tai, who would gladly come to New York

couraged to do so. Many Slovaks. Bo-
