CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARIES

For the first time in the history of Mary
land the nominations for Congress this year
will be made by direct vote, and this, too,
by both parties. AS a consequence the
nominations will be later than usual, and
the campaign cOrrespondingly shorter.
Joint primaries will be held throughout
the State on August 3Oth, and the man
who receives the highest total of his party
in each Congressional district will be de-
clared the nominee without the formality
OF q convention The direct primaries will
be held in accordance with the Lee pri-

Legislature. and which has been held by

for a mighty long time The recently en-
acted tariff bill and Republican dissensions
IN Congress are the chief grounds on which
the Democrats build their hope of taking
from the Republicans the three districts
they now hold-the Third, the Fifth and
the Sixth. In addition the Democrats be-
lieve that the Republican fight against
Pearre in the Sixth district and the absence
Of Mudd as candidate in the Fifth will
greatly strengthen their chances in what
have long been considered almost hope

SEXES ICEOREAN CONES.

With the seizure of 672 boxes of ice
cream cones, each containing about 5000
the United States Government last week
put the seal Of disapproval on an article
OF food that up to the present time has
been generally accepted as harmless.
The cones are sold full of ice-cream,
usually to children, and after the consump-
ton of the cream are generally eaten.
They are in great demand at the beaches.
According to the complaint filed with the
United States District Attorney of New
York by the Pure Food Commission, these
cones contain boracic acid are deleterious
and should not be used as food They were
seized on the ground that their manufac-
ture and sale violate the Pure Food and
Drug act.
The boxes were seized at the pier of the
Southern Pacific Company. New York. just
as they were about to be shipped to Gal
weston. Texas. They were the property of
the Consolidated Wafer Company. of New
York.
Handlers of the cones will undoubtedly
be much disturbed by the sellers, for thou
sands of the little brown holders, which
taste like paper, are consumed every day.

that the -billion-dollar mark has been

The total disbursements for pensions
from the beginning of the Government to

LOOK OUT FOR METEORs

If astronomical predictions are fulfilled
there will be seen during this month and
next dense crowds of meteOrs equal in
luster to the brightest stars, darling from
east to west across the sky. with enor-
nous apparent velocities. They are said
to be by the best astronomical authorities
the dust of decaying comets.
Halley's comet has just passed out of
our solar system, and has left in its wake
q disinteerated tail from which fragments
will revolve independently in parallel
orbits. first as a swarm family. then de-
veloping into slower moving particles, SINH
lar to the August meteors that moved in
the same orbit with the bright comet of
1852, thus verifying the prediction that
the comet would appear under another
form. that star shower might have sprung
from and would commemorate its dissolu-
ton.
This month there is to be an active dis
play from Aquarius, which, apparently.
reaches its maximum from July 81 to 81,
although the meteors may continue to fall
from the same center during the first half OF
August. Many early Perseids are displayed
this month. although the latter are a diff
ferent class Of meteors from the AQuarids.

....s year astronomers say that both the
Aquarids and Perseids may be observed
TO advantage, as the moon will offer little
interference. as August IL. when we are
led to expect the greatest abundance of
meteors. the moon will set at 1909 p. NJ.
and leave us with the darkness of star
light sky, a time in which meteors may be
seen at their best
What isrequired is a series of beautifully
transparent skies, such as is often seen
during the first half Of August. Observers
should seize such opportunities as are
available and determine the place of the
radiant and horary rate Of meteoric appari-
tons on every clear night.
The last five years have furnished aver
age display Of Perseids. and II is now the
consensus Of opinion from the leading as
tronomers Of the world that there is some
reason TO expect richer shower of mid
summer meteors than there has been for
many years.
They say that countless thousands Of
those meteors are but the minute frae-
ments OF the masses Of decaying comets
passing through our solar system, and
when the earth encounters a swarm of
these fragments a meteoric shower is pro-
duced. thus proving that loosely agglom-
Grated mass such as there is every reason
10 believe cometory nuclei to be. are but
the aftermath Of dying comets, Of which
science does not pretend to track their
further wanderinss through space.
