The Comet.

An analysis of Photographic observa-
tions made at the observatory at Flag
staff, Arizona, of the newly discovered
comet, known to Astronomers as @Comet
A. 191O," shows that the unheralded
swanderer' differs greatly from most
comets.
The usual comet spectrum consists OF
bright series of hydro carbon bands.
but the comet now visible shows light
hydro carbon bands with pair of in
tensely bright sodium lines.
The new comet closely resembles the
great comet Of 1882.
Professor Kiel, of Germany, has COM
pleted the computation of the orbit OF
the new comet and it shows that the CO.
met was nearest the sun on January IL,
when it was four million miles away. Its
orbit is inclined 62 degrees to the plane
of the earth's orbit.
On February 8. it will be about one
tenth of the brilliancy it showed on jan
uary o. 1t is travelling towards the east
and north in the heavens.

Thoroughbred Animals and Plants
Their Great Commercial Value.

aThere is as much difference between
thoroughbred and ordinary plants as be-
tween thoroughbred and ordinary amin
ais" This statement is made by d. M.
Ferry & Co., of Detroit, the greatest
flower and vegetable breeders in the
country, and appears in their 1910 An
nual Catalogue just issued. They argue
for the great value and economy of
thoroughbred seeds, aAny fundamental
natural law which applies to animals ap-
plies equally toplants.' A good COW (i.e e.
thoroughbred eats no more than a
poor one, but may give twice as much
butter fat. "Good blood" makes as much
difference with corn as with cows. But
thoroughbred plants. ike thoroughbred
animals, are not produced in one or two
generations. for no matter how superior
an individual of common origin may
be. its progeny are as rule like the gen.
eral run of its antecedents. Hence the
need for seedsmen like D. M. Ferry Il Go.
They have experience, the best plant
breeding equipment in the United States,
and the business acumen to sell only
such seeds as have been bred from the
choicest stocks for many generations.

1910 may be had free of charge by
writing to them at Detroit, Michigan.
It contains much of interest for those
who think.
