HALLEY'S COMET

Prof. Edwin B: Frost, director OF
the Yerkes Observatory, at Will
ANS Bay, Wis, says:
"Halley's comet, on which all
eyes in the astronomical world are
now centered is about 100000 as
times as big as the earth. Yet, al
though the earth's gravity may
cnange the orbit of the comet, the
earth's path through the sky will
be unaffected by the approaching
proximity of the two bodies"
This supplements information
contained in circular respecting
observations of Halley's comet:
1910" which has just been issued
by the Astronomical and Astrophys-
ical Society of America. The cir
cular says that an expedition to
observe and photograph Halley's
comet from Hawaiian Islands is to
be sent by the society and sets
forth thus:
In view of possible large pertu-
bations arising from the close prox-
unity of the comet to Venus on
May 4, and to the earth on May l6,
meridian observations are especial
ly desired during the period in
which the comet is sufficiently
bright for that purpose.
"What are, these possible large
perturbations?" Prof. frost was
asked.
THAT merely MEANS" was the
reply, "that on these dates the
comet will be near enough the plan
cts mentioned to be affected by
their attraction.
"Will that affect their orbits?"
ct wont affect the orbit of We
nus or of the earth, but it is likely
to affect the comets orbit. That
is one reason why we want to get
meridian observations, which will
show almost exactly these orbldal
changes.
"That will be an interesting spec
tacle, by the way, on May l, when
the comet is near to Venus. The
planet and the comet will be prac
tically the same distance from th'
earth and everyone will be able tt
see their relative size.
The comets bulk exceeds that o
Venus about 100000 times. /
is gaseous, and it's mass is compar
atively Sigh. Therefore its attrac
tons will not affect the planets
while the solid heavy planets arr
likely to affect it good deal. Thu
earth and Venus are about th'
same size, so that the earth, too
is about one-millionth the size o

Weakness was shown on all sides.
There were many reports regarding
heavy selling by both Armour and

HOW TO LIVE WE'LL ON MOTH
ING A YEAR.

There Is chapter In Thackersy's
Vanity Fair that seems to have been
studied to some effect by numerous
class OF people, Of whom few reside in
Reynoldsville. 1t is headed "How to
Live Well on Nothing Year" and il
there is patural-born deadbeat who
has never run across it, we respectfully
commend it to him as a means of i'm
proving bis profession.
Ask any retired merchant in Reynolds
vile why he is not now in business, and
the invariable reply is that he was
forced to the wall by an uncollectable
credit account. The complaint is
universal. The credit system must be
radically restricted or abolished in
retail business. In Kane the leading
merchants have put up notices in their
stores stating that hereafter all persons
applying for credit, who are not
personally known to the merchants, will
BE- obliged to furnish references on a
blank furnished for that purpose. 1t is
a move in the right direction. There
was time when business could be
successfully conducted despite heavy
losses from this source, but sitter
competition makes it now impossible,
Legitimate business will not be hurt,
and the honest customer will benefit,
by rules against indiscriminate ex-
tension of credit.
A queer illustration of the pitiful
fraud that the credit system renders
possible occurred recently in Johnson
burg. A carnival company visited the
town and the family of poor mill
worker at that place clamored to go.
The man had no money to buy tickets
but he proved himself a masterful
financier by going to store and buying
a sack OF flour on "tick," took it out and
sold it few minutes later to another
man at reduced price and op the
proceeds bought tickets for the family
to the carnival.
1t is not, of course, against the
honest customer that the merchants
protest, but against the class who
practice deliberate deception and end
by refusal to pay anything. No
business man asks anything better than
list OF credit patrons who pay up
regularly, but the extension of credit to
all without previous knowledge OF their
character is the highway to ruin.
That the credit system engenders
carelessness in personal and household
accounts is fact that many man has
discovered when he finally balances
assets and liabilities and finds himself
hopelessly in debt. Better it is to pay
as you go and ruin neither yourself nor
the merchant.
