SEEK LIFE SAVING METHODS.
Manufacturers Of Nation Meet to Dis.
cuss Prevention Of Accidents.

New York, May 1.-THE prevention
of accidents in industrial establish.
ments, employers liability and indus
trial insurance are the chief topics
to be discussed in the fifteenth annual
convention of the National Association
Of Manufacturers which opened here
today. The widespread interest in
these matters has resulted in making
this one of the largest meetings ever
held by the association.
The 5000 manufacturers composing
the association are determined to
make the action of this convention the
beginning Of new era in the United
States in the matter Of safeguarding
life and limb of employees and &c.
curing equitable compensations for in
juries. A report on the subject will
be made by committee appointed
several months ago by President John
Kirby, Jr., and addresses will be made
by Prof. F. r. Hutton. of the American
Institute of Safety and Miles H. Raw
son who has studied accident proven
ton abroad for the Russell Sage
foundation. A series of prizes will be
offered for the best method Of pre-
venting accidents. President Kirby,
in his address, recommended that the
association send two experts to Eu.
rope to study the industrial insurance
and employers liability laws in Eng
land and on the continent.

COMETS TAIL DUE
WEDNESDAY, NIGHT
HALLEY's DRAGON NEAREST
GLOBE WHEN IT PASSES
THROUGH srREAMER.
JUDGMENT DAY NOT COMING YET
London Astronomers viii Not Predict
What Sensations Will Be
Feit.-Scientists Fear
No Damage.

London, May 16.-Halley's comet is
about 26,000,000 miles rom the earth
toward which it is rushing at a rate
which will bring it to its nearest point
to the earth this Wednesday. On that
day, if the tail be 100000 miles in
length the earth will pass through the
tail.
The latest observations. however.
lead astronomers to conclude that the
earth will not come into contact with
the comets tail. which is calculated
to be only 100000 miles long. The
diameter of the comets head is esti-
mated to be about 5000 miles-not
much greater than that of the earth.
However, it is possible that the tail
may come up to the previous expecta-
lions as to its length before May IS,
for recent observations by means of
the spectroscope have shown a
strange transformation, which must
be added to the number of cometary
mysteries which await explanation.
For several weeks the spectrum of
the comet showed the presence of
HYDROCARBONS and cyanogen, but the
existence of large quantity of sod
ium is revealed.
Alarm 10 Unnecessary.
Signs that will show whether the
filmy tail does envelope the world on
the night of May IS will not be such
as to cause any alarm. Herbert Hall
Turner Savilian. professor of astron.
omy at Oxford university, says it is
Impossible to state with any certainty
whether any influence may be detect.
ed on May IS.
Possibly" he says. delicate in
struments for recording atmospheric
electricity might show some disturb
ance. Possibly. if there are solid par
ticles in the tail few meteors may
be seen. Possibly nothing will hap
pen at all, and this last alternative is
by far the most likely, for, according
to recent observations. the tail Is far
too short to reach u.s."
DR.. Norman Lockyear states that
Professor Nordman's observations at
Paris showing that the spectrum Of
the comet at one time gave evidence
of hydro carbons and at another sod
ium, was only what was expected.

AS she entered the Office and paused

Michael Nolan and Mrs. Nolan cross
the hall and disappear into the COM

Wheeler Brand will never forget-he
has since said so from the depths of
his soul-thc shock that went through
him when he saw Nolan, accompanied
by his wife, making their way toward
him on that memorable night.

caught Brands expression and whirled
about. Then he. too. saw the owner
of the Advance and his wife draw
near. The triumphant air with which
the wife and mother sailed along by his
side BODIED no good to Brand and his
story.
Nolan paused in front of the form
without looking at the contents at
first.

Judith Bartelmy heard the stormy
scene. lived part of it herself hud-
died in the managing editors office.
She felt that Nolan would not let the
story be used from what she had
heard, and she could not suppress n
pang Of pain that pierced her heart at
what she believed to be the fanat-
ical vindictiveness Of Wheeler Brand
against her father Yet she was

spite Of her loyalty to her parent,
avoid feeling a touch Of pride at his
strength Of character, his determine

foolishly, to be his duty.
"They don't need me-" she finally
muttered. and. gathering up her costly
skirts, she tripped daintily across the
paper strewn floor, out into the hall
and down to her carriage.
