Comets Nucleus
Grows Brighter.

Cambridge, Mass, May 26.-For more

ible at the Harvard College observatory
tonight, it being the first time a salts
factory view had been secured since the
comet went into the west. Prof. o. c.
Wendell tonight gave out the following
facts:
The nucleus, measured photometrically
with the large telescope, was found to be
of SAB magnitude, which compared with
a magnitude of 6.57 of two nights ago,
showing the nucleus had grown slightly
brighter.
Notwithstanding it was recently report
ed that the nucleus had divided, nothing
of such a division was seen tonight; in
face. the head of the comet was found
to be quite sharp and stellar.
The maximum of light or jet" which
was seen projecting from the nucleus
toward the southwestern May % and May
a. measuring some two and a half min
utes of arc, had entirely disappeared to-
night.
From the observations taken by the
naked eye the total light of the head was
estimated to be of about 90 magnitude.
or about equal to the polar star
The length of the tail was estimated
to be of about 40 degrees, possibly longer,
and extending nearly to Jupiter.
Nine photographs were taken, one ex-
posture being an hour and a half long.

ROMANCE OF THE MISSIONARY
Nothing In History Finer Than the
Work Done by These clviliza-
tlon Plckets.

About the missionary OF to-day-and
| have ridden with him, boot to boot.
In a score Of lands-there is scant
reminder of the somber-garbed, psalm
singing, nasal-voiced, narrow-minded
proselytizer who has been made the
butt OF Jokes In comic supplements
from time immemorial. The Amer
lean missionary of the present, clean
cut and college-bred, comes from an
other mold. lie is as carefully trained
as the consul or the commercial trav-
eler. though on broader and more COM
prehensive lines. When he starts for
his new field, he is something more
than theologian and a preacher. He
has had an agricultural course and
can pillow and SOW and reap after the
most approved fashion; or he knows
something of manual industry and can
use plane, a saw, or a lathe, the
tools OF blacksmith, a carpenter, or
a mason; possibly he understands the
elements of electricity and of hydraul-
les and can install a dynamo or set up
ram; or perhaps he is going out as
medical missionary, in which case
the preaching and teaching will be
subordinated to the care of the sick,
the healing OF the lame, the halt, and
the blind.
History shows nothing finer than the
way In which these pickets of civiliza-
ton, scattered over the strange por-
tons OF the globe, have distilled a
grim humor out of their desolate sit
uations, turning not only a bold but a
laughing face upon the perils which
their lives may bring. There is, in
deed, something approaching the d.
vine in their power to rise above hard
conditions. and to use their minds for
the purpose Of hooking at the mis-
cries of their bodies. In all the world
there is no more thrilling romance
than that of these pioneers of prog
ress who have carried the gospel of
the clean shirt side by side with that
of salvation even to the very Back
of Beyond.-Everybody's Magazine.
