FACTS ABOUT
HALEY COMET
Historical Heavenly Body Not
Yet Visible Seen
in April.

Much has been said about Halley's
comet and for this reason many had
supposed the new one, visible several
days ago, with its spectacular tail
was Halleys. However, this histor-
ical heavenly body is yet out beyond
the orbit of Mars and invisible I'd the
naked eye. On the LIST of January it
was 100000 miles closer to the
earth than 1t will be on March gath,
when 1t passes behind the sun, the
latter being little over midway be-
tween the earth and the comet.
When the comet energies from benin
the sun 1t will come directly towards
the earth and reduce It's distance to
100000 miles. Unless you live
about seventy-fiye years longer you
Will not he able to see it again after
1910.
1t completes it's revolution around
the sun in about seventy-seven years,
though the time varies from seventy
five to seventy-nine years. 1t was
last seen in 1885. 1t was named after
Sir Edmund HALEY, the second as
tronomer royal of England, who saw
1t In 1852. HALEY did not compute
it's orbit for the reason that the sci
ence of astronomy was not so far ad-
vanced in his day as at present
knowing of comets appearing in 1881
and 1907, two dates so nearly seven
ty-five years apart, he suspected that
they might be one and the same as
the one then appearing. closer ex-
animation revealed the fact that their
paths were almost identical. He &C.
cordingly ventured to predict that
the comet would return In 1853, and
being impressed with the conviction
that hd would not live to see it, he
expressed the hope that the scien-
tific world would bear in mind that
an English astronomer was the first
to predict its return. Hally's predic-
ton was fully verified, for on Christ
mas night. 1853, farmer first found
1t, Notwithstanding all the astronom-
ers of Europe were ON the lookout
for 1t. It's next return was in 1885
and now 1t is with us again. The
visitations of this comet have been
traced back as far as B. G. 240. Be-
tween B. c. 240 and A. ID. 1866 sew
eral gaps exist, due to loss of records
of that unscientific time From the
latter year to the present there has
been an unbroken series OF returns.
1t is now $4,000, 900 miles distant
from the earth and will be visible
with telescope only, in the eatern
sky until March "a. On the latter
date the sun will be between us and
the comet, when the latter will be
invisible for several days. When it
again energies, 1t will have shifted to
the morning sky, rising before dawn.
The earth and comet will then
rapidly approch each other and the
latter will increase in briliiancy. On
May Is 1t will again disappear in the
suns rays, this time passing In front
of the great luminary., On the same
date the comet and earth will rush
past one another and the earth will
probably sweep through the tail of
the comet. They will be only 12,OO0,-
600 miles apart. After May 10 the
comet will attain its maximum of
splendor in the evening sky, and in
a few days thereafter its glory will
rapidly fade.

Rubber Scarce World Over.

A shortage of rubber throughout the
world IS creating an alarming condi-
ton in the automobile industry, and
especially in the tire manufacturing
branch. The present shortage is par
TALLY attributed to the demand from
the tiremakers, whose output this year
amounts to nearly $3o,oOO,OOO, with a
probable production of 100000 next
year. The rubber tires now lead all
other manufactured articles in the
consumption of the best rubber gum.

viii Be Established by Catholics fox
Southern Negroes.

New York, April 20.--Father John
G.. Burke, director general of the Cath
olic Board for Mission Work among
Colored People, says a great industrial
school, modelled on Tuskegee lines,
will be established in Alabama or Mis-
sippi. This plan was agreed upon at
d meeting of the board held at Cardi-
nal Gibbons residence in Baltimore
two weeks ago.
Father Burke believes the Catho-
lie church should not only take an in.
terest in the spiritual welfare Of the
race, but should plan for it's material
welfare also.
The board has q considerable
amount Of money on hand for the
project. and this, with the 100000 it
contemplates raising annually. will be
used for the furtherance Of the educa-
tional work among the Negroes Of the
South
"The Catholic church," says Father
Burke has never been backward
where the salvation Of souls was con-
cerned, and that the Fathers have seen
fit to launch a new project tor the
spiritual development Of the Negro is
but another instance Of it's desire to
leave no stone unturned to give every
one Of Gods creatures the benefits Of
his teachings. The movement W.
require a lot Of time and labor. and
we shall cheerfully take up the new
burden. A site for the school will be
purchased this summer, probably in

many poor boy and girl has been
started on a course Of right and
profitable living.
Like every scnool or institute that
has had public benefaction for one of
It's cardinal principles, this school
has passed through varying fortunes.
Some or them have been propitions,
and some have been full Of storm
and stress. Criticisms have been
expected, as this is public institut-
ION and its teachers and officers are
public servants, but often the malic-
nous have struck blows that would
have meant the obstruction Of a lesser
institution that had not as its hacker
the great commonwealth Of West
Virginia.
When it is considered that the
institution draws 85 per cent of it's
quota from Vest Virginia and nearly
IS per cent Of this Y5 per cent from
along the Kanawha, New and Green
brier Rivers, and when it is further
ed considered that while it has the
largest enumeration Of the three
Great Negro Schools Of the State,
yet the representation Of the Negro
youths Of the State within its walls
as balanced against the prospective
eligible list is quite small.
1T is not our purpose in this
article to advance any extended
reasons why this condition exists,
further than venturing the thought
that it may be due to influences
purely economic and sociologic. How
ever it is a sad reflection upon the
efforts Of the State to find that a
part Of its citizens, and that part
which stands mostly in need of the
benefits arising from such Iefforts
seem to evince such little appreciate

stitnte was formed for the definite
purpose named above. She has been
