ule prescribed, Halleys comet re-
turned to the ken Of astronomers, and
for more than half an hour before
dawn was watched from Verkes OBJ
servatory at Williams Bay, Wis, by
Professors Frost and Bernard, work
ing independently. That the spec
trum may show what has happened to
the apparently lost tail of Halley's
comet is the belief held by Professor
Frost.
at is worth noting that when it
was here before in 1885 the tail dis
appeared two days before the perihe-
lion, and was not seen again for two
months" he said. "Halley's is the
only comet ever known to behave like
this. 1t is probable that the tail is
there. but is so dispersed that it is
not bright enough to be seen.

It came to light recently that resi-
aences of Heidelberg and Lynn town
ships, Lehigh County, Pa, had been
swindled out of 100000 through a
crooked insurance deal. Early in the
winter several agents canvassed the
region, inducing farmers and others
to subscribe from 5000 to $4,000
worth of stock in proposed new in
surance company.
It has just become known that the
blanks they signed were transformed
into promissory notes, which had inn
mediately been realized upon by the
swindlers. The agents operated
quickly and decamped. All those
duped were Of good standing and the
swindlers had no trouble in getting
their money.
