THE COMET

HALEY comet. Four in the morn
ing. Think OF the possibilities.
Lodge always lets out not much at
Ter midnight, at the latest. Its an
opportunity of lite time. Sure /,

the wife and children to sit up with
you at home. The kids have to study
TOO hard at school and the better half
never could stay up late and keep
her beauty No, the bunch is best,
and you should suffer any hardship
to be able TO say you had one fair
look at the strange yIsitant III the
skies. If it is cloudy. or the moon
is too bright, or anything else hap
pens, repeated efforts should be made
Start as early as possible as this

available for q few more weeks. Dur

flags low ante game and high
line OF refreshments will help ma
terlally TO pass away the time and
you will hardly be disappointed with
the results,-if you are real lover
OF science. III these suggestions are
carefully followed out and it is not
possible any time after three o'clock
to see at least two comets, one with
horns and cloven feet as we'll as d
tail and the other with several knots
in its caudle appendage and an un-
mistakable tendency to switch it
half across the sky at regular inter-
Vals, you can rest assured there was
something wrong with the game OF
the refreshments and the only thing
to do is to try again. The comet Is
there and can be seen, Enthusiastically.
as described, if the proper prepara-
tions are made.
For young people an easy chair big
enough for two is outfit enough.
Electric lights, even, are not necces-
sary as the comet is shy and can be
seen better and approached nearer
by its own bright glow. Practically
all that is needed is to wait for it
and while it probably will not look
just as described above, but will more
closely resemble a broad, white, f,ow-
er decked way leading to a big
dazzling bright star like a sort of
an altar, with man in vestments
standing behind it, and all set to
glorious, low, sweet music in march
time, it will, without doubt, be high
ly satisfactory and will pay exceed
ingly well for the time and trouble
taken.
Members of sewing societies and
primary school pupils should use
neither of the above settings or look
for either of the fine views forecast
ed. Going to bed earlier than usual
and getting up just before four
would prabably be the best formula
for these classes and FREELY sort of
star with short milky way
shadow behind it is about all they
shouldexpect to pay for their trou-
BILE. To many this may not seem
worth while, and few second trials
will be recorded.
Office seekers, schooima'ams and
editors should have more special d.
rection than any others if they insist
upon looking upward, even at four in
the morning. Any, or all of them,
are, and should be too busy to study
the stars, but instruction can be
given to individual cases, if there are
any, upon personal application.
At any event, see the comet. That's
what its for. See it now. The sea-
son is short and it is showing es-
pecially at this time for the people
on the earth The circuit is long and
SO far as any of the P. and D. read
ers are concerned, this is it's fare
we'll trip" Don't miss it, as this is
positively the last opportunity.
