A Snob.

DAUL A. SORG, who recently drove
four-in-hand from New York TO At
lantic City, distance OF l33 miles, has,
like so many rich young society men. a
hatred of snobbshness.
''Sorg,'' said member of the knicker-
booker Club, called one afternoonDt the
house OF a nouveau richie. A carl ~
stood in the drawing room and on TOP
was the card of an English duke. Sorg.
waiting for his hostess to descend, took
this card and quietly stuck it under the
carpet.
"A week or two later he called again.
The dukes card was back in it's place.
1t had been carefully scraped and clean
ed. Sorg put II behind a mirror.
But it was found again, and though
afterward he hid 1t in flower pots and
vases and coal scuttles 1t always turned
up, scrubbed clean and carefully dried, on
the top of the card tray.
so at last Sorg hid 1t in the family
Bible. and that was the end of it, Mrs.
Nouveau Richie went into mourning"

On the night of May is the comet will
pass directly between the earth and the
sun. and observers in the islands OF the
Pacific ocean will have an opportunity to
view it's transit across the suns disc.
This is a most rare spectacle. which may
not be presented to us again for many
centuries. 1t Is hoped that from the OBJ
servations of this phenomenon we may
obtain more definite knowledge Of the
composition of the denser parts of COM
cts than We now possess
IT Is we'll known that the tails OF COM
cts which sometimes stretch out into
space for distances of many millions OF
miles. are almost inconceivably tenuous.
The head Is very much denser, and II is
believed to be composed of great swarm
of meteoric particles, mingled with cos
mic dust and gases. 1t is not thought
that there is any definite solid nucleus
in the head of any considerable size and
nothing is now known as to the sizes OF
the individual meteoric masses which
compose it. But since at the time OF the
comets transit 1t will be only One-seventh
as far away from as the sun, the indi-
vidual particles, even II they are not more
than ten miles in diameter, will be clearly
visible as little black dots moving over
the face of the sun. If there are larger

the case. 1t is, perhaps. unnecessary TO
add that the earth will not be in the
least affected by this encounter, and also
that the sensational statement in some
papers as to the influence of the comet on
our world are utterly without foundation.
The sight of this beautiful object, as it
moves along it's appointed path. in exact
accordance with the predictions of as
tronomers, should only impress upon
each observer anew the wonderful har-
mony of the laws which govern all the
celestial bodies in their courses.
From the evening of May 10 to the end
of the month the comet will be so con-
spicuous in the evening sky that 1t will
attract the attention of every one. In
these few days it will move half way
across the entire heavens, as shown in
Figure L. passing a little below Mars and
above the bright star at A. Its head will
point toward the ground in the west, and
it's tail extend upward among the stars.
AS it moves westward and recedes from
the earth IL will grow rapidly fainter, and
in few months will be lost to view en-
tirely. But, though no longer visible to
us, We will know that 1t Is still pursuing
