RETURN OF HALLEY'S COMET.
n Celestial WandCrcr Which Has Visi-

In years agone when a hairy star
with fiery head and long, bright tail
suddenly appeared in the evening sky,
it's visit was looked upon with dread,
for famine and pestilence were it's
companiOn--at least so the people be-
licved. They watched it with anxiety
and hailed it's departure with relief
on account of the dread which such
visitors inspired. it is not strange that
comets, or hairy stars, as they are
called. should be looked upon with
such fear, nor is it surprising that
they received the closest attention.
1t is to the superstition OF the past
that we of the present are indebted
for much of our knowledge of these
celestial wanderers, some Of which
come to us only once in two or three
carnations. There IS one nation
especially, whose superstition and in
tclligence were in such sharp contrast

plants draw from the soil, different

out of the cotton. AT average cost of

BUFFALO HERDS INCREASE.
Efforts of the Canadian Government
Are Bearing Much Fruit.

The attempt of the Canadian gov
ernment to save the few remaining
buffalo, the last of the mighty herds
which once roamed the Northwest.
promises to be a success. According
to reports received here of the 635
bison now within the fences of Buff
falo Park, at Wainwright, in Alberta.
the loss during the fall and winter
does not amount to one-half of one
per cent.
The natural grasses of the huge
park have been sufficient to sustain
the buffalo in perfect health. The
natural increase during the year had
been seventy-one and it is expected
that it will be not less than $50 next
year. The herd in Buffalo park does
not represent the whole in Canada.
There are forty-three at Elk park. on
the Canadian Northern, and thirteen
at Banff. There are yet about eighty
head to be brought from the Pablo
ranch on the Bitter Root mountains
in Montana.

dian bison preserve were CAPTURED in

Grafton in which it's visit occurred,
they at the same time recorded it's
appearance and position so methodi-
cally that we are now able to trace
our present visitor back for 1000
years. The Chinese historians were
most careful in their work, and so
notably exact that it does not sur
prise us that Chinese emperor once
struck off the heads of two of his as
tronomers for failing to predict an
eclipse of the sun, especially as the
eclipse found the emperor with no
preparations made to receive the visit
of the Dark God with sufficient pomp
and solemnity. For it's last two re-
turns our present visitor has had a
name of it's own, for it is called Hal
ley's comet
Edmund HALEY was a young man
Of 26 in London when his eyes first
saw this comet His father was a
soap-maker, who appreciated so
greatly the value of education that
he gave his son all the advantages
which the time afforded. Young Hal
ley became astronomer royal of Eng
land, a position which gave full scope
to his remarkable mathematical pow
ers. He also became the warm friend
of the still ADLER mathematician, Sir
Isaac Newton, and to Halley's ener-
getic admiration Of Newton's genius,
the world owes the publication of
Newton's great laws of gravitation,
for HALEY not only urged Newton to
prepare the manuscript, but he also
bore all the expenses Of the publica-
ton.
And when Newton promulgated the
theory that some comets possibly
move in a closed curve and so really
belong, after all, to the family Of our
son, it was Haley who at once un-
dertook the labOriOus computation to
prove whether this might be true.
HALEY found that the comets of 1881,
1907 and 1852 were very much alike.
Each had fiery head and long tail,
each travelled in a path which had
the same inclination to our own
earth's path, each reached the same
point in its journey around the sun,
and the comet of 1907 came about 70
years after the comet of 1881, and
the comet of 1852 was about rs years
made one of the most brilliant dis
coveries in the history of astronomi-
cal science, although he himself could
not verify his results for long before
the return of the comet. which bears
his name, Hally himself had been
called away from the scenes of his
earthly activities. But so thoroughly
had he done his work that when the
year 1853 approached, astronomers
prepared to welcome the return of
lIalley's comet. Meanwhile Clairault,
another astronomer, had worked out
the disturbing influence which the
planets would exert on the comet as
it passed them and announced that
the comet would be a little late. This
proved to be the case, but Halleys
comet was seen in January, 1859,

The question that is now giving the
public the greatest concern is: How
may the production on the farms be
increased. especially in the South"
Nearly a million bales more cotton
will be consumed this year than was
produced last year. The increase in
consumption is going on at a rapid
rate and necessarily the increase in
production must keep pace with it,.
All of the arabic land in the world
has been discovered. The darkest
parts of Africa are being reached
with civilization, while the countless
millions of Asia are beginning to re-
spond to the teachings Of the mis-
sionaries. AS these people have their
eyes opened they begin to be ashamcl !
of the scanty clothing they wear anc
their wants are increased manifold.
Commander Robert f.. Peary says
that the Esquimaux of Greenland
should not be civilized, that it would
make the Esquimaux discontented
with simple life he is living Accord
ing to that theory education Is bad
for any of us because it enlarges our
wants and desires. However, despite
the statement of Commander Peary,
the civilization and enlightenment of
the world will go on, and it will cause
an ever increasing greater demand
upon the South for her monopoly.
cotton. The Almighty only made one
cotton patch of any consequence and
he placed that right here in the
Southern part of the United States.
y narrow strip Of land on each side
Of the River Nile in Egypt. grows
good cotton. Portions Of India grow
an inferior grade. Besides Egypt and
India, the South has practically no
competition.
Aside from this ever increasing de-
mand for cotton, on the account of
the tendency of the present times to
desert the fans. and for the popula
tion Of the world to be concentrated
in the towns and cities, everything
that Is grown on the farm Is getting
higher and higher-going up, up, up.
Congress has passed resolutions to in
vestigate the high cost Of living. At
the presnt prices Of food stuff and
clothing. 1t digs even into an eight
thousand dollar salary to supply the
wants and needs of family.
While the South has . monopoly Of
cotton there is scarcely anything that
can he grown elsewhere that cannot
he grown here; and we should not
fail to take advantage Of that fact.
The one crop system is bad policy
from every standpoint The farmer
cannot always be assured that ne will
