The strikers pickets for the first time ad- mitted that many men were at work, but declared>the companys figures were too high. Because they were paid only 121s cents per hour and not 15 cnts, as they claimed the agreement had been, nearly 100 Italian strike breakers today left the steel plants.

Some As comets have been tabu-

Some As comets have been tabu-
lated by astronomers as regulars
which have been making calls upon
our planet at intervals of from SO
to $50 years.
Only three of these, of which Hal
ley's comet is one, travel in the op-
posite direction of the planets.
What are comets? Aggregations
of other worn-out, exploded comets,
meteorites, ETC., bound together by
gravity, each having a nucleus, a
head and tail. The two latter are
gasses and though the tail may be
one hundred million miles or more
in length, it's substance is so tenu-
Gus that it might be stored in an or
dinary room.
When a comet is ready for bust
ness the planetary steering commit
tee of the heavens launches it into
space upon it's orbit. and gravita-
ton does the rest.
Comets are very well behaved and
need not be expected to collide with
our earht oftener than once in every
fifteen million years, while should
the earth pass through one of their
long tails (as it has already done.)
ic would merely be like an ex-
press train passing through a fog.
For some reason these creations
are always in a hurry, their speed
being quite beyond the comprehen-
sion of men.
A few weeks since a comet appear
ed in our western horizon making a
few delightful calls upon us, and al
though a total stranger, and very
ose-mouthed concerning his desti-
nation, yet having once seen Delta,
am confident, like other people,
he will return.
In May very distinguished visit
will be made us by a comet named
alter the great astronomer HALEY,
who in 1862 plated it's orbit and
calculated it's temperance, feat
never before attempted. The appear
ances of this comet have been cal
culated back to the year 24O b. c.,
its last appearance occurring the year
before l was born.
In speed Halley's comet is a hum
mer." When seen by us in May, then
only 100000 miles away from the
earth, it will be travelling in it's or
bit at the rate of 1000 miles an
hour, fifty times faster than the
speed of a cannon ball.

Rise Early and See HaIley's Comet


The celestial visitor of which we
have been reading is now to be seen
in the early morning heavens. My
first observation of Halley's comet
was on the morning of April 18th,
at APO a. m. The comet was then
| located in the southwest portion of
the constellation of Pegasus. or bet-
ter still about twenty or thirty de-
grees east of the planet Venus.
Geographically. he comet is due
east and at the time of this observa-
tion was ten degrees above the hor
izon. 1t would now be advisable to
observe this visitor before 400
e. m.
Halley's comet as it now appears,
has a tail over ten degrees long and
large sharpely defined nucleus. The
tail is short and stubby due a great
deal to the full length not being
moon which is now in the morning
sky. The time taken of the comets
passage across the field of the tele-
scope, showed that it passed over
few seconds sooner than did the
planet Venus, however this motion
was not nearly as rapid as 1t should
be If the comet were going across
our field of vision. The conclusion
il that this wanderer is approaching
US.
Such is the case SO astronomers
tell us. By the end of April the
comet should be very much brighter
reports tell us that the comet will
pass across the disc of the sun, that
is, pass between us and that body.
Also on that date, in the evening,
comets tall What will become of
rs? Astronomers say that we need
rot fear, as the chances for disas-
ter are about one in million.
Perhaps you may want to know
why this particular comet is known
as "Halley's" comet. Edmund Hal
ley, the English astronomer (born
1856 died 1742,) searched past re-
cords for the previous returns of
comet which he saw in 1888. He de-
Cided that the comet returned about
every seventy five years. and pre-
dicted its return in 1853. He never
lived to see the return, but having
computed its orbit the comet did re-
turn. Since this great man was the
first to discover the periodocity of
these strange bodies, this comet
was named for him.
Halley's comet visited us last time
Ia 1886. and is with us again after
seventy-four years. Let us watch
this wonder while 1t is with us. 1t
can be seen in the evening sky after
May 18th and will probably be as
large and much more brilliant. than
Comet A. 1910.
Last time this astronomical won
der came, we knew nothing of air
ships and many of the modern in
ventions. Note the advance in civ
aliza ion today. What will be going
