Planet Will Generate New
Appendage.

CHICAGO, Illinois. - The theory that
Halley's comet had lost it's old tell
which is still floating in space In the
Eastern sky and is now generating a
new one was advanced by the Rev
Daniel J. McHugh, professor OF as
tronomy at De Paw university. The
old tail was forced away from the
comet by the forces of unusual cleo
trical repulsion caused by the sun
spots which were so prominent Wed
nesday he thinks.
1T Is my opinion" said Professor
McHugh, that the comet lost its tail
some time Wednesday night. There
are records Of it's having done the
same thing in 1886 and it also is be-
lieved that a tail was lost in March
of this year. / also believe that there
Is not the slightest chance OF the
earth's coming in contact with the tail
on this visit.
Combined with the solar repulsion
caused by the sun spots in forcing
the old tail away vas the attraction
of the earth. When the old tail broke
away it continued in the same plane.
It was seen in the East Thursday
morning and or Friday morning it APP
peared DINNER and more dissipated.
AS the old tail no longer receives
fresh gas and energy from the head
of the comet it will disappear in time.
Il saw the comet in the West and
1t had no tail. This strengthens my
theory that it now is generating a new
tail which will become visible in a
short time"

saying that Queen Mary will exercise
all the social powers which appertain

Now that King Edward is gone It
is possible to give some hint of the
paradoxical effect of his death. His
influence, as all the world knows, was
more powerfully for peace than that
OF any man Of modern times. yet curl
ously enough his death removes one
cause OF friction between England and
