COMET WILL BE DAZZLING SIGHT
Harvard Professor Tells Where and
When to Look For 1t.

w AlCl W LOOA II VI He
Halley's comet may now be seen
on nights when conditions are favor
able with the aid of an ordinary field
glass. The most favorable time to
look for it is between $50 and 100
p. M, with the glass elevated some
where above where the sun sets. The
Harvard observatory, at Cambridge,
Mass, forces have the wanderer TO-
cused nightly on their big telescopes,
and some interesting photographs of
its development are being made.
Prof. E. G. Pickering, director of
the Harvard Observatory, says:
THE comet is at present in the
twilight region. 1t is in the line of
the sun, and its brightness is dimmed
by the luster of the great center of
the solar system. Besides, it has not
yet attained its maximum brilliancy.
That will be on May 18th. 1t will
be visible all through April, but at
its brightness in May.
"About that time, if clouds do not
obscure it, it will be dazzling sight.
About a third of the heavens will be
colored with a fiery gold, it's great
flashes of light will play from one
part of the heavens to another and
the scenes will be remembered for
generations. Halley's comet has
been noted for its brilliant displays. "

BUDDHIST TEMPLE is OPENED
Idols From China Are Ready For
American Eyes in the City
of PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Students
of Oriental religion, and even casual
curiosity seekers, were afforded a
rare treat at the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum today in the shape
of the most complete collection of
Chinese Buddhist idols and symbols
in America. The work of collect
ing the exhibits has been carried on
continuously since 1875, and it is
only now, after the passing of thir-
ty-five years and the expenditure of
large sums, that the exhibition is
completed and opened to public in
spection.
The temple is enclosed in glass,
and inside the temple showcases are
the images, the most conspicuous of
which is a small representation of
Confucius, rare even in China, the
home of the Confucius religion. 1t
was obtained by Director William
P. Wilson of this museum.
From the prayer mat directly at
the entrance to the large figure of
the god Buddha, in the extreme rear
of the temple, everything is arranged
in it's proper relation. Charles R.
Toothhaker, curator of the museum,
who planned the exhibit, studied
carefully the interior and exterior
of many such temples before under
taking the work.
All parts of the exhibit have come
from China.
Some of the more interesting of
the scores of things in the small tenn
pie are:

PEARY GOT A COLD DEAL
WAS WITHOUT OFFICIAL NOTICE
ON VISIT TO ATLANTA.
Neither Governor Joe Brown Nor
Mayor Bob Maddox Would In
troduce the Explorer.


Mayor Bob Maddox Would In
trOduce the Explorer.
ATLANTA, Ga.-When Command
er Robert E. Peary came to this city
to lecture on his reputed discovery OF
the north pole he found himself with
out the official endorsement both of
the state and of the city of Atlanta.
Gov. Joseph M. Brown was APP
preached by Peary's business mana
gers with the request that he intro
duce the explorer to the Georgia au-
dience. This the governor positively
declined to do, as he has no conf
dence in Commander Peary's claim
that he was the first to reach the
pole, and he was unwilling to lend
himself to the advertising of what
he regarded to be an improved story,
especially when Georgians were pay
ing 81 a seat to listen to it.
Then Pearys sponsors went to
Mayor Bob Maddox with the request
that he present Commander Peary.
The mayor was also unconvinced,
and he declined to have anything to
do with the commander.
Several prominent citizens were
then approached and they also de-
clined to introduce the explorer. Mr..
Fred L. Seeley, publisher of the At
lanta Georgian, finally agreed to &C
cept what generally appeared to be
an unwelcome task.
In explaining why he would not
consent to introduce the explorer the
governor said:
I'm coming here Mr.. Peary is in no
sense the guest of Georgia nor is he
coming at the invitation of the state.
He is coming simply to make money
from the sale of tickets for his lee
ture. AS l am far from convinced
that his story of having reached the
pole is true | saw no reason why
should consent to lend official recog-
milton to his visit by presenting him
to an Atlanta audience"
Did Peary fake his astronomical
figures in the Roosevelt? He went
alone to the pole. Why?
What proof does Peary bring
save his own word? Cook brings
the same and as good. Where was
Cook? Did he spend the time in a
snow house with his dogs, etc? If
he stayed at one place for months
it would have gotten out.
'Peary, to destroy the value of
Cooks narrative, must first discover
the value of his own. Two horns
of dilemma. If Cook has handed
us gold brick Peary has handed us
paste diamond, or for a silver plat
ter, has given US a basin made of a
very cheap grade of pewter. 1t is
up to- Peary to explain how Cooks
story can be false and his identical
story can be true. The American
people will not accept his smile as
proof that he is not as great fakir
as he charges Cook to be.
Fantastic snowshoes, riffs in the
ice, colOred ice, the sun going in
circle, not setting, ice-covered sea,
as described by Peary are almost
identical with similar descriptions
from Cooks narrative.
The Mount Mckinley ascension
story has no bearing on the identical
story of the north pole. A man may
tell us a thousand lies yet tell one
great truth,
Even if Cook were to assert that
his story was a fake it would not
make it false, unless we are forced
to confess that it was false for the
two stories are the same, and like
the Siamese twins, they must live to-

What Mayor Maddox Said.
Mayor MADDOX, in substance, said
that Commander Peary came to At
lanta as a private citizen on a money
making proposition, and was in no
sense the guest of the city of At
lanta that he was very busy and
did not feel called upon to introduce
him to an Atlanta audience. Speak
ing afterward to a reporter he said
he understood congress was now in
vestigating Peary's claims, and that
up to this time the explorer had not
produced sufficient proofs to the in
vestigating committee of congress to
his claims

A doctors first question when con suited by a patient is, Are your bow els regular?' He knows that 9S per cent of illness is attended with inact-

 Salts, ordinary pills and catbartics may be truly Hkened to dynamite. Through their harsh, irritating action they force a passage through the bow els, causing pain and damage 10 the delicate intestinal structure which wealens the whole system. and at best only produces temporary relief. The repeated use Of such treatments causes chronic irritation of the stom- ach and bowels, dries and hardens their tissues. deadens their nerves, suffens their muscles and generally brings about an injurious habit which sometimes has almost, if not fatal re- suits.

THE LODGE GOAT.

A man living at Tipton. Ind. re. gently joined a secret order and suG fered such bruises, laeerations and other injuries in an attempt to ride the unruly and nimbo goat Chat he has sued the lodge for damages to the extent of Sl0,00, which he thinks is abou the right sum to serve as balm for his physical suffering and mental anguish.
 The court has ruled that he must describe in detail the stunts of the lodge goat and how it bounced. bucked and otherwise matreatel him.
 But the members of the lodge are fighting earnestly against the propo- sition to thus expose the secret rites Of the order; hence the legal battle promises to be an interesting one.
 IL may be that in his particular case the goat which had star part ih the initiation of the candidate was unusually aggressive and yiolen..

 As a rule, when a man announces his desire to join a secret order, one Of the specialties of which is riding the goat, he by the same token indi. cates willingness to accept without protest whatever the goat hands out 10 him.
 It is true that none save The elect know the condition of the animal which profane eyes are not permitted to gaze upon, or how it is going to perform.
 But that the average mystic bumper of a lodge is a gentle, humane and consderate beast, is evidenced by the fact that hundreds cr thousands of worthy men have encountered the an imal while travelling "a rough and rugged road" without snTarine any in. jury.
 Therefore, ii is difficult to account for the malevolent disposition dis played by the goat that crippled the neophyte of Tipton, Indiana
