New Comet is Fading.

The comet that has been drawing all
eyes to the western sky just after sun.
down for the past week, is gradually
getting DINNER and will probably be
barely visible tonight. This small heav-
emily wanderer-many times smaller
than Mr.. Halley's pet-puiled off an un-
heard-of stunt by sneaking up on us
from the other side of the sun and sud
denly dashing around the corner into
full view Of the naked eye before there
was chance for it to be formally dis.
covered by telescope. It was at first
populary supposed to be the HALEY
comet, but the astronomers have the
latter continually spotted and assert
that this is q different comet, one they
never had the pleasure OF meeting be-
| fore. The newcomer approached the sun
from the opposite direction OF that from
which Halley's is coming, rounded the
sun and is now hoboing it back into the
void whence it came. 1t was most plain
ly visible last Saturday evening, when
clear sky afforded fine opportunity
for viewing the strange phenomenon
about which there is so much our scen-
lists don't know.
Hslley's comet is just now almost di-
rectly on the other side Of the sun from
the earth aud for that reason is very
hard for even the best telescope to locate.
Within few weeks it will have passed
by old Sol, and we will begin to see it in
the eastern sky early in the morning,
rising earlier each day aud approaching
the earth with such speed that it will
soon be visible in broad daylight. There
is one thing that is making astronomers
rather nervous about this comet, and
that is that it is travelling very nearly on
the plane OF the ecliptic, 20 nearly in
fact that 10 spite Of their usual exact
ness in ip sucn matters the said astron,
omers vary several days in figuring
when it crosses this plano. Some of the
best authorities declare this will be on
May 18th, which would bring tho comet
exactly between the earth and the sun.
AS the tail OF the comet always points
directly away from the sun il would at
that time sweep over the earth, and this
fact is responsible for that nervous feel
ing. II there's anything about that tail
that IL destructive 10 life the conse
quences are, as one astronomer. puts it,
'fraught with tho direst possibilities. Z"

1t is proposed that the government

TO RECLAIM 10000, 600 ACRES OF SWAMP LAND
Geological Survey Has Scientifically Planned Great Project
for the Nation. Cost Considered Low.

WASHINGTON, d. C-The irriga-
ton projects in the United States for
the reclamation of arid lands have
been so large in conception and so
magnificent in engineering features
that they have overshadowed the re-
clamation of swamp lands, which re-
Quires only the prosaic labor of dig
ging bitches. But work on the wet
lands has been going on steadily, not
only by the diggers, but the scientific
preparatory work of the geological
survey has been very extensive, and,
considering the cost involved, much
larger in prospective returns than is
possible from arid lands.
A total area of 100000 square
miles-about S3,0OO,000 acres-of
wet lands in different sections of the
country has already been surveyed
and mapped by the geological survey,
ana 1t is estimated that of this area
Iully SO,O00,000 acres of the most
fertile of farming land will be avail
able for cultivation.
Inc comprehensive plans of the gov
eminent engineers include making
the main bitches large enough to af-
iord navigation for small vessels,
mus providing the cheaper possible
means of transportation of the prod
ucts OF the reclaimed land to mar
ket points.
Millions of Acres in Swamps.
The cost of doing the work is esti-

Is years sentence.
The former banker and supposed
philanthropist took his Imprisonment
philosophically, going to his solitary
cell without murmur, and begin
ming his task in the stocking room
with apparent willingness. There is
no encouragement to talk in the
Charleston prison, and Hall ventured
no remarks as he was told by Warden
bridges that he would be employed
in the stocking department.
In this department between SO and
so prisoners are engaged. There are
from rs to 30 machines busy all the
time knitting stockings for men and
women prisoners in the various state
institutions. One of the expert pris-
oners takes the new man in hand and
teaches him bow to run the machine.

The instructor took Hall and
showed him how the machine was
run. Some of the prisoners with a
mechanical turn of mind are able to
manipulate the knitting machines
after days instruction, and others
require a week. 1t looked as though
Hall would be slow worker, but he
appeared to be willing to learn as
quickly as possible.
Hall was treasurer of the South
bridge Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, and it is declared his accounts
are mixed up in way that they fear
they will never be able to straighten
out. E. Walter Packard, secretary
OF the institution, doubts that Hall
ever gave $4,000 to the institution,
as he asserted in court before he was
sentenced.
The books show nothing of the
kind, said Packard. "Our building
cost 100000, and it is mortgaged
for $45, 900"
| Hall admitted that his thefts dur
ing the last twenty years might have
totaled $4,000, but the total deficit
was alleged to have reached $685.
