Tail to Span the Sky.

Prof. Daniel ]. McHugh of the De
Paul University gets up every morn
-ing to sight the comet with his tele-
scope.
Il would advise all who have not
a telescope to stay in bed mornings
for a week or two," he said "a
month ago / thought the comet would
be visible to the naked eye about this
time. Should it be it will appear as
very small star.
sit will be visible in all its magni-
ficence, however, in the evening in
about a month from now. Then it
will be worth looking at. The tail
should span about one-siXth Of the
entire sky. 1t is a smooth, straight
band of light that comes out from
the comet like a great finger. In
length it should be equal to about
thirty times the width of the full
moon.
There seems not much doubt
that we will pass through the tail,
bat there will be no danger to living
creatures. How will it look? Well,
as the earth passes through the tail
the western sky should be magnifi-

it. l do not believe that the stuff

layers of the earth's atmosphere. "

A COMET CARRIES AN ACETYLENE LAMP

we determined in January that
the main constituent of the tail of
Halley's comet was cyanogen," said
Prof. Edwin B. Frost of the Yerkes
Observatory. There is also acety-

that cyanogen in any appreciable
quantity would be deadly to living
things it is so thin in this comets
tail that nobody will feel the effects
of it, even if we pass directly through
the tail-which is not yet absolutely
certain When the calculations were
made the comet was coming straight
toward the earth, and very slight
error in the calculation would make
a very big difference when the comet
gets around to us. The tail is 49,

was made-onIy a slight one-we

Aeronautics in CoIlepea.

With the .aeronautic convention In
Philadelphia during the first two days
of April, to be attended by several
hundred students from the United
States and Canada, an additional i'm
petus will be given the matter of aerial
navigation. The purpose Of this con-
vention is to organize a University
Aeronautic club which shall affiliate
with the Aero Club of America. Dur
ing the sessions, lectures and addresses
will be delivered by the most re-
nowned aviators in the world.
Although 1t is doubtful whether
aeroplane racing will take the place Of
any of the existing college sports, it is
evidently destined to be listed among
college athletics in the future. But
even greater than the popularity Of the
sport itself will be the use it may be
put to for furnishing demonstrations
for practical study. II the colleges
take up a~eronautics We may look for
an increase In the knowledge of the
essentials OF the machines and of their
management in the air, all of which
will be Of great value IN aseertaining
commercial possibilities. In the hands
Of an ordinary college BOY. with the
proverbial recklessness of such indi-
viduals, there are few feats known or
possible to aeronautics which will long
remain untried. That the colleges
may help develop the science of avia-
ton and make it as practical as posi-
BILE is the hope Of those calling the
convention. The improvement of the
aeroplane for safety and practicability
is, as everyone knows, the essential
prerequisite t its serviceability.

A MEMORY Of INGERsOLL.
Transition from the Spectacular to
the Practical Lawyer.
Pittsburg Gazette-Times

Pittsburg Ga~Zette-Times.
Interesting from various angles is a de-
clsion rendered by Judge Hammond Of the
Massachusetts supreme court, awarding
S7o,OO 0 to Mrs, Robert G. Ingersoll for legal
services rendered by her husband to An
drew ]. Davis, o Montana copper magnate
also deceased. Ingersoll died eleven years
ago, therefore the case affords a striking
example OF the laws delay. As it will be
appeal to the United States supreme
court the delay is by no means terminated.
Along with this aspect of the case there
is also al illuminative glimpse OF the fat
ness Of legal fees, when stellar talent is
desired, for Ingersoll was one OF the most
persuasive n most expensive lawyers OF
his day.
The chief interest of the case, however,
lies In h memories IL evokes and the
mutations OF time which It emphasizes
There have been few more picturesque
figures In American law practice than
Robert G. InsersOll. who dabbled in the
oiogy as a side line defied Shakespeare
n Beethoven, denounced the mistakes
OF Moses, and constituted himself a vol
unteer fire company to ~extinguish the
flames OF sheol. Militant agnostic that he
was, vindictively bitter in his d~enunciations

was in his family life as gentle as a child
and among his friends a very primes in
generous impulses. But his predominant
trait was his power Of painting landscapes
with mere words. Whoever has heard the
p%eroration OF one Of IngersolTs lectures can
never forget how he woYe sunset glow and
CLEANS OF dawn, the silver sheen Of stars
and the rainbow's jeweled scarf, into the
flamboyant tapestry Of his magic eloquence.
Poems, symphonies, pictures were fused In
his sonOrOus periods-few orators have ever
welded such a sensuous spell.
Judge HammoLd's decision also will bring
home to many who remember Ingersolps
burning oratOry the fact that this type OF
lawyer is fast passing away. The man
who can move a jury to tears by his plea
is no longer as highly valued as the one
who knows the piEeon-holes Of the law and
ekn draw UP an alright document. We
a turned from The spectacular 10 the
practical, from pyrotechnics to business.
and the transition has been accomplished
almost entirely during these eleven years
since Ingersoll passed away.
Il is, indeed, rare that any judicial de-
cision is handed dow which, In itself Of
but narrow scope, starts so many trains
Of thought and memory as this one in tho
Ingersoll-DaVis case.

Plat and Harrison

The publication Of a statement made
some years ago by the late Senator
Thomas G. PLAT of New York, to be
released on his death, In which he
charges President Harrison with hav-
ing gone back on a promise to appoint
him secretary of the treasury in con-
sideration of the swinging of the New
York delegation in the nominating
convention of 1888 has lifted the lid
off a bit Of president-making and
started counter-versions by surviving
participants.
1t is too bad that Senator Plat did
not see ft to unburden himself before
the death of General Harrison, so that
the former president might have had
an opportunity to tell his side of the
controversy. A detailed explanation
by Senator Elkins, through whom the
only communication between General
Harrison and Mr.. Plat was held, and
corroborated by Senator Depew and
Congressman ]. Sloat Fassett, who
were also more or less concerned,
seems to make Il clear that President
Harrison vas never cognizant Of any
agreement to make Mr.. Plat secretary
of the treasury, and that Mr.. Plat
had admitted that the assurance that
he would be recognized In the distribu-
ton of patronage going to New York,
pnr1IA not hn PofrIHp aAn1N,zI l-Ao 4,
promise of a cabinet appointment for
himself. Senator Elkins insists that
Secretary Window had been selected
for the treasury by President Harrison
before Mr.. Platt's wishes were made
known and that the appointment of
General Tracy to be secretary of the
navy was made to suit Mr.. Plat
through the recognition of one Of his
closest friends, who had likewise been
helpful in the election Of President
Harrison. More than that, however,
1t seems reasonably established that
General Harrison's nomination in 1888
was not brought about through the In
s~trumentality of Mr.. Plat, no matter
how much assistance he may have az
forded by falling in at the crucial
time, but rather through a pre-ar-
rangement with Mr.. Blaine by which
his strength and influence vas to be
transferred to General Harrison as the
preferred of the candidates before the
convention.
That president-making used to In
volve deals OF various kinds, to which
more than one president has owed his
nomination and election, is of common
knowledge, although the day of such
deals has practically passed and they
were probably never personally en-
gineered or directed by the candidate.
General Harrison vas always regarded
by his friends as the SOU of honor in
politics as we'll as out of politics, and
there is nothing in the record he made
as chief executive to indicate any ques-
tionable negotiations either with Mr..
Plat or any other political bargain
hunter.
