Conditioning of the Air.

Regulations regarding the condition
ing of the air in cold-storage ware
houses were considered important by
the witnesses. Tt was explained that
eggs have 20 per cent of water. and
that to keep them properly the air in
the storage in which eggs are placed
should contain equal percentage of
water. Fish has 30 per cent water
and the air of tho room in which 1t Is
to he stored must he extremely moist
This is accomplished by coating the
floor with ice. by sprinkling ice on the
boxes in which the fish is packed and
by hanging damp cloths around the
room.

There are two proper ways to regulate

The year 1910 has entered in it Hal
ley's comet, and beyond a few COM
paratively uninteres6pg eclipses Of sun
and moon, nothing else looms up in
the astronomical horizon. The question
of where the comet is needs no further,
comment, but what 1t is brings us to
another story. The most important OBJ
servations to be made will not be those
which give us the position of the comet
in the sky by visual measurements, nor
yet, those obtained by the sensitive,
plate and Photographic camera Such
observations will be of enormous value,
but those of greatest service to the
scientist will be some which will not
appeal very much to the public mind,
as they viii be little understood.
The spectroscope is to be the import
ant instrument of investigation, for
Halley's comet promises to be the very
first bright comet that has visited the
earth since the modern spectroscope has
been devised. By its means we will
probably be able to decipher the enigma
Of the comets tail, the puzzle to as
tronomers of all ages, why it always
points away from the sun. How science
changes its point of view and adopts
new hypothesis as occasion demands is
splendidly illustrated by the story of
these comets and their tails. Since the
first explanations given three hundred
years ago, even before the foundation
of the law of gravitation, there have
been plenty of theories propounded, and
earlier ideas have been gradually dis
carded on becoming untenable through
improved knowledge OF the laws of
matter. q
Comets History.
The life history of a comet, indeed,
seemed to contain a riddle which no as
tronomer could fully read, and as such
it was regarded as one Of the prob
lens of astronomy" Newton's law of

universal gravitation itself appeared to
be set at naught by comets, for instead
OF pointing toward the sun, as being
attracted in this direction by gravity,
their tails pointed in Numerically the
opposite direction, just as If under the
action of a solar repulsion. Could this
be a case which showed that gravity
was not universal? Or if gravity did
act. what was the nature of the force
I eentered in the sun. which actually re-
PEELED matter so as to form the tail?
Various theories of comets tails have
resulted from attempting 10 find the
nature of this force.
After investigating planetary motions
and giving to the world the three
great laws Of motion bearing his name,
Kepler turned his attention to comets.
After carefully observing in 1907 the
comet which proved eventually to be
Halley's he announced that to the best
of his knowledge the head of a comet
becomes. vaporized by the heat of the
sun, and that particles are driven there
from to form the tail by force of
repulsion that was explained easily
enough by the then accepted theory Of
light. According to this theory the sun
is continually emitting particles of mat
ter which travel through space at enor-
nous velocities. On reaching the comet
a pOTllOu Ol the energy Ol THESE CUT

NeWtOR's Belief.
Newton, the great founder of the law
of gravitation in 1857, did not entirely
accept this explanation. While believ-
ing implicitly in the emission theory of
light, he tried to prove that gravity was
universal, and consequently that all
celestial motions must be the result of
grayitation, and, therefore, he thought,

could be apparent only, and not real.
To explain these apparent motions ii
became necessary for him to imagine
that the universe was filled with a
gaseous medium denser than the matter
forming the tails. and in which they
were buoyed up as the smoke Of a loco
motive floats in the air.
Euler, 1744, seemed to have clearly
seen the difficulties in the way of as
Stunning, with Newton, a gaseous med
ium throughout space, and returned TO
the first ideas of Kepler. However, he
no longer believed that light consisted
in the emission of material particles,
but thought it, as we do now, to be the
result Of wave motion. The repulsive
force took its origin, according to
Euler's ideas, from mechanical impacts
caused by these waves.
The chief advance in the history Of
comets during the eighteenth century
was TO show that a comets head obeyed
the law of gravitation. even if its tail
did not, and the return Of Halley's
comet in 1859 paved the way for many
comet Investigations.
Pioneer Astronomers.
The nineteenth century at its begin
ming had Oilers to rely on to clear away
the difficulties by his pioneer work on
the motion of comets. "Olbers's method
of determining the orbit of comet was
universally adopted. and at the present
time is still regarded as the most ex
peditious and convenient method of
calculation when extreme refinement is
not required. Although only an ANA

sion a phySician), his name stands writ

experiments of Coulomb, 1855. In

time. repulsions between material par
ticles.
Law OF Gravitation.
The Investigations of Oilers showed
him that the heads of comets obeyed
implicitly the law of gravitation. but
on the other hand the tails acted as if
repulsed from the sun. After discard
ing, in 1912, the views of both Kepler
and Newton as untenable. since they
could not be based on experiment, he
very naturally assumed that these
forces might be Something analogous
TO our electrical attractions and repul-
sions." Since electricity explains re-
pulsions, IL is easy to see why the
theory of OILERS should be accepted and
held, even up 10 the present time.
The exact action Of this force, and
the further theories that have been pro-
pounded till we come to the interesting
one held by astronomers of today viii
have to be left till the next issue.
On Dec 20, Prof. Barnard saw Hal
ley's comet rather family in a five-inch

and faint tail Ism long, pointing to the

NOTES FROM THE COURTS.

John McCrow, negro with a police
court and penitentiary record. was

court on a charge of horse theft after
his preliminary hearing in the court of
Topeka Thursday afternoon. McCrow
acted as his own attorney. Last June
he stole q horse belonging to 1. c.
Clardy, d negro farm hand, who had
ridden the animal to town one Sunday
morning. McCrOW sold the animal and
disappeared, avoiding arrest for two
months.
An octogenarian, ]. Clark, who has
been living at the Provident associa-
ton headquarters, was transferred by
Poor Commissioner Bacon to the county
farm Thursday. Clark has been a jour
neyman painter and has wandered far
and wide until now he is too old to fol-
low his trade.
