COMET WAS LIKE
A FIERY SWORD

HAMILTON. Bermuda, May 26.-Hal-
ley's comet was superb spectacle as
viewed from here. II had the great fam
like tail that the scientists tell about,
but TO observers here the tail seemed TO
precede tho head as do the. rays of "a
searchlight.
For several days before May 6 the comet
and tail were distinct and brilliant every
morning, and. to use a favorite compari-
son, the comet much resembled "a fiery
sword. full two yards in length.
For a week thereafter rain prevented
observations, but this was followed by
superb displays daily. scientists who came
mere from the United States and Europe
were as enthusiastic as the layman.
Stretching like huge ray of brilliant
electric light from the horizon TO the
zenith. the tail showed fun ninety de
grees. while the head was a fiery ball Of
indescribable brilliancy and beauty.
Every night the hills about the city
were occupied by people viewing the
heavenly visitor. To the surprise Of many,
tho negroes did not become as excited or
interested as the white people.

tive session" Of the SENATE. The investi-
cation is in charge Of Senator Knute Nell

the use that had been made Of the money,
showing an expenditure of 81 500 in an ef-
