FLOODS FOLLOW BIG COMETS
Singular Condolences Cited In
Connection With Wanderers
by London Correspondent

The curious scientific problem. "Do
comets cause foods?" is raised by q cor
of the London Express, who
calls attention to q series Of curious CO.
incidences.
The floods in France in this year of
two great comets, he says. add another
example to the many recorded coinci-
dences of such events.
When Halley's comet occupied much
the same position among the stars 10
the year 1881 as it does ct the present
moment. 400. 900 people were drowned
in Holland.
When this visitsnt next appeared in
1907 the Severn overfowed its banks.
the water rose above the tops Of the
houses and 100 people lost theirlives.
As Biela's comet was careering to-
ward us in l77l dreadful inundstion-
the great Ripon food-caussd ha voc in
Yorkshire. and few months after its
appearance in 1888 terrible foods in
China destroyed 10000 houses.
This comet brought two great inun-
dations to France. Shortly after the
visit Of 1889 hundreds OF houses were
swept away by foods in that country,
and when 1t next came along, six years
later. the great foods in France caused
damage TO the amount of $20, 200, 900.
The destructive Holmirth food at
Huddersfisld, demolishing many build
ings and drowning 90 people. synchron-
lied with the final appearance of Biela'-
comet in 1859. 1t mysteriously divided
into two parts in that year and has
never been seen since.

Rains and Warm Weather Cause Sus.

As result Of severe storms in Reese
River Valley last week all trains on the
Nevada Central Railroad were forced to
suspend operations during the entire
week, and when the road will be in
operation again is not known. There
are q number of bridges out along the
line. and much of the track is now
under water.
Only one bunch of mail arrived in
Austin last week, and that was brought
in by the motor car just ahead of the
storm, and since then all communica

undoubtedly increase the severity o.
