THAT CYANOGEN GAS Is
NOT so BAD ANYHOW
Even II the Tail of the Comet Is Full
OF 1t, We still Have n Chance to
Live Through II.

New York, May 14.-Experiments
made at Columbia University Indicated
that no harm will come to the popula-
tion of the earth at Ii o'clock next
Wednesday night when We sideswipe
Halley's comet.
Following a report from the Univers-
ity OF DIXON, France to the effect that
quantities of deadly cyanogen gas,
which the dictionary says smells like a
peach blossom, had been noted in the
comets tail by professor Deslandres.
professor S. 4. Mitchell, of the astro-
nomical department at Columbia made
experiments with cyanogen and human
subjects to determine how dense the
aas in the comets tail would have to
be to efface life.
Up in the big chemical laboratory OF
the university, hoods were filled with
the noxious gas in different densities
and volunteer students were placed in
first one hood and then in others in
which the amount of cyanogen was in
CT eased.
1t was found that the gas would have
to be very dense TO wipe out life, the
tests merely causing temporary Collapse
OF severe headaches. 1t was said, how

ever. that if the vapOr was increased
to a certain density suddenly, death
would be almost instantaneous.
Contrary reports as TO the amount OF
cyanogen gas in the tail of the comet
have kept astronomers busy figuring
the possible results. but most of them
agree that there is hardly enough cy-
anogen in the comets tail to cause
death.

HargiS Petitions FOR RehearlnQ.

A petition for a rehearing in
the Beach Hargis case has been
fled with the Court Of Appeals.
The ground for the petition is
the dissenting opinion of two Of
the judges of the higher court who
did Lot concur in refusing the
prisoner a new trial.
Young Hargis was given a life
sentence for the murder of his
father. Should the petition for a
rehearing be granted, it is stated
that strong effort will be made
to secure the parole of young Har-
giS on condition that he leave the
State of Kentucky and never re-
turn.
P. S.-By unanimous vote the
Court of Appeals on Thursday
affirmed the sentence against him
and he must go to the penitentiary
for life.

ROBERT f. PEARY
Says North Pole Can Be Reached
In an ACrOplane.

Aeroplaning to the North Pole
was pronounced a reasonable feat
by Commander Robt. f. Peary in
discussion at Dayton, o., Jan.
26, with Wilbur Wright.
Mr.. Peary met the Wrigh
brothers after delivering a lecture
for the benefit of the tuberculosis
Society and they asked the ex-
plorer about polar possibilities.
The necessities as seen from the
Wright point of view he explained,
were surfaces that would permit a
machine to start in a fight, alight
and start again.
From what I've seen I should
feel safe 10 venturing the specu-
lation that an aeroplane would
have no trouble getting open space
10 alight and start again at any
stage of its journey until the Pole
had been reached"
The Wrights then quizzed him
about the weight and volume Of
necessary supplies.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
One Should Know How To Pro-
vide, The Other Know How to
Keep neaSe.

''The man obligates himself to
provide the necessities and the
woman promises to be the keeper
of the home. If the man is pro-
'fcient in his business and a good
provider, has he not right to ex-
pect that you should not be strang-
err to yours9
''The best wives are those that
know domestic science, even
though they do not do their own
washing. The reason many mar
ried lovers are lost is because the
wife does not know the home
business. She can play the piano,
is a graceful dancer, a good whist
player and a pleasing entertainer;
perhaps she is affectionate and con-
siderate and truly loves her hus-
band. She wants to make her
home happy, but she has not
learned the art of housekeeping.
If the cook leaves without notice
she is lost or so worried and irri-
table that Cupid grabs his bow and
arrow and flies. The mere man
would not have a girl neglect the
accomplishments, so called, nor
would he take from her her hob
bies, but he would have her know

TO REBUILD SCHOOL
W. C. 7. U. Workers VIII Not
Abandon Efforts at nindman.

The w. G. T. U. Settlement
School at Hindman, KY, was de-
stroyed by fire, on Saturday night,
Jan. %. The school building, to-
gether with its Home" was COM
pleteIy destroyed and the power
house was considerably damaged.
About $4,000 worth of machinery
was saved.
The fire originated in the pack
ing room which is in the attic, and
where clothing and bedding we're
stored. 1t is not known what
caused the fire but the supposition
is that spontaneous combustion or
a match ignited by rat caused it.
There were ninety pupils and
teachers in the school at the time.
The little girls gave the alarm
from the third floor whittier they
had gone to retire.
This is the third time the build
ings have been burned and the
people are very much moved by
it. Great sorrow prevailed in the
town and county and the citizens
of the town met at the Court
house Sunday and pledged money
labor and material equal TO $4,000
to assist in the rebuilding.
The boys cottage, q one-story
frame building has been saved
three times, one workshop having
burned within ten feet of its wall
at the fire in 1905.
The buildings were heated by
steam and lighted by electricity.
The total loss will be less than
$4,000.
The building, perhaps, unlike
any other in the State, was made
of hewn logs from mammoth trees
the largest that could be secured
in the native forests of Knott
ecounty-and was well supplied
throughout with expensive furni-
ture and school fixtures.
The schools influence and pur-
pose has transformed the county
from that of a feud section, in
which much outlawry was COM
mitted, to one of quiet, peace,
prosperity and intelligence. The
hospital building, the power house
and the stable were saved.
A mass meeting was held at the
Courthouse on Sunday morning at
which a committee was appointed
to solicit funds for the school.
Another committee to solicit funds
in the county was also appointed,
while 50, 400 was pledged by the
citizens attending the mass meet
ing. 1t is also expected that the
Board of Education will appro-
pirate funds toward the erection |
of other buildings while the Coun-
ty Judge will appropriate $4,000. |

bill collector was turned loose upon
an innocent, inoffensive and I'M
protected public.
Before people knew that they
had concealed within their anato-
mics that dreadful and worthless
piece of machinery known as the
veriform appendix9
When every doctor had his sad
dle-bags with him, and no matter
what the trouble was, he gave you
calomel and quinine, and it al
ways cured you9
Before we were notified on every
hand that countless thousands of
death-dealing microbes Turk in
everything, from loves first hon.
eyed kiss to a skillet of fried
onions9.
When boys wore red-topped,
brass-toed boots, and girls dressed
in plain dresses and wore their
hair plated down their backs
without suggestion of spit curls,
rats and psyche knots9
SAMPLES IN POINT.
When an invitation to a we'd
ding and the Unfair" didn't have
to be responded to with a ST. cut
glass bowl, when in all proba-
bility the very day you sent the
aforesaid punch bowl, you were
compelled to drink buttermilk out
of stone china coffee cup9
When there were no telephones
by which your wife could order a
lot of trash that she did not need,
and could notify you to come home
before you had scarcely struck
the club or corner grocery
When a girl could make up her
bed and sweep her room without
having a well-defned case of "ner-
vous prostration9"
When a boy could split little
kindling wood and carry in two
buckets of coal without having
a pain in his side or the headache9 |
When mother could get six
children off in time for school, do |
all the household work, take a lot
of good things to several sick |
neighbOrs and not have to be sent
annually to the hospital for re-
pairs9
When man could take a little
wine for hir stomach's sake with
out going home drunk and beating
his wife and terrorizing the chill
dren generally9
When you didn't have to sell a
good horse to buy your wife hat,
and two to buy her a coat suit?
When boy was satisfied with
package of fire crackers and three
hog bladders, and girl was de-
lighted with china doll and a

Before kids learned to write
