can be discovered exactly how near
| It will come to the earth, and when 1t
will be the best time to observe 1t. But
one thing is certain if it comes as near
the earth as did Halley's comet, it will
far surpass the brightness and lumi-
mostly Of that bod.
AS obseI at present, the new
comet is between the orbits of Jupi-
ter and Mars, nearer the former. AS
is usual, it is moving toward the sun
| and will be seen in the western sky
! in the evening until October. when 1t
will pass perihelion and become visi-
BILE in the morning. It's tail is not
prominent at present, but it is thought
that this is due in large measure to
its position, which throws the tail
away from the earth and thus hides it
l, from the view of observers.
At present the comet is not large
enough to be seen with the naked eye,
but with the aid of n good two-inch
glass it is plainly distinguishable. Af-
ter the moon begins to decline the CO.
met will become correspondingly
brighter. both because of the diminu-
ton of the light of the moon and the
fact that the comet will be coming
nearer the earth.
1t is thought that about the latter
part of September the display will be
the brightest.

by both sides this week as much de-
pends upon this factor. Last week 1t
assumed record breaking proportions
and if it increases this week it will
tend To the belief that more new cot
ton will come into sight up to the first
of September this year than was ever
recorded before. This will naturally
lead to the question of whether new
cotton is to become a pressure on the
market. Not only will the movement
of new cotton in Texas be of impor-
tance. but the Georgia movement also
will have weight, for at the end OF
last week it exhibited signs of increas-
ing largely. In connection with the
movement of new cotton, the attitude
of mills will be closely followed. AS

vicinity of that mark after the full
developments of the thirteenth CEN

mates of the census bureau offlcials
fail. The returns received to date in
dicate a fairly even growth in all di-
rections from the present central

leave the point in its present general
neighborhood. OF all the southern
states. Texas will make the best show
ing i'm increased population, but Geor-

Useful Crocodile Fish.

fish known as the crocodile fish,"
which according to word received at
the department Of commerce and la.
Dor Is most useful to man.
The skin of the crocodile fish if
properly cured. may be utilized for
any of the purposes for which the
lighter weights of leather are employ.
ed. The oil Of the crocodile fish is
perfect lubricant. and also used for
softening leather. In addition to its
qualities as lubricant and emolient.
the oil possesses medicinal qualities
for which a superiority to the finest
of Norwegian cod liver Is claimed. The
flesh Of the crocodile fish is exten.
sively used by the natives as food and
highly relished BY them as one Of the
delicacies of the country. Crocodile
fish range in length from ten inches
to four feet, and when dried assume
an ashen hue. with lighter shadings
of blush tint.-New Orleans Times.

Value Of vivisectlon.

Success in nerve surgery has led tn
desire to accomplish similar results
with the blood vessels. Until recent
ly no one attempted to do more than
cut diseased or injured blood vessels
out of the general circulation: even
this required vast amount of prelim.
mary work on animals, especially with
regard to the testing of ligature mate
rial. such as catgut and silk, for
strength, absorbability and capacity
for being rendered absolutely sterile,
the last being exceedingly difiicult Of
determination. The effect of these on.
erations on the local blood supply also
required investigation. for the cutting
out OF a very large blood vessel might
involve the death of an entire limb.
Very recent work on dogs seems to
promise that the cutting out of blood
vessels may be largely replaced by
splicing and grating. it is evident
that, with the aid of such new meth

avoided. and many a limb saved from

venturing to attack the heart itself;
