COMET SEEN BY
 THE NAKED EYE
Halley's Wanderer Will Be Visible Through April and Will Attain It's Greatest Brilliance In May
 Directions or<f7nding It.

! washingtow AHrch 22AHalley'a comet is now al ap9roaching rapidly, ac- cording to Washington dentists, and with favd9able meteoro ologica1 conditions will gbe visible to tli ie nak- ed eye tonights By early next week it is expected, Athe celestrial 1visitor will be in plain sight It will be visible all through April, and/ Twill be at it's brightest in May, attaining it's maximum brilliancy on May 1.
 Those who desire to have a look at the comet may do so by taking up a position directly it becomes dark, fac ing due south.
 Find Sirius, the "dog star," low down on the horizon on your left hand side. Take a perpendicular line from this till you come to the coh- stellation of Gemini, or "The Twins one above the other Midway between these the comet passed in October last, going to the right, on through the constellation of Tarus, to the two planets Mars and Saturn, both high up in the southeast. Planets do not twinkle, and, moreover, Mars is pos sessed of distinct reddish tinge The comets path lay between these two last month, and the comet itself will be found some little distance to the right
 An easier way probably to find Mars and Saturn will be to take a line to the right from the top star of the Gemini, at an angle of about 15 degrees, till you come to five lit tie stars all clustered together These are the Pleiades. Continue the line at an equal distance and you will find the planets in question. The above positions of the stars refer to the time directly it becomes quite dark. If viewed, say, two hours later, all the stars will have moved to the right and Mars and Saturn will be found sinking in the west.
 There need be no worry as to pos abilities of asphyxiation should the tail sweep the earth. It has happened several times before with other com cts, but no one was the wiser :iil after the occurrence.
 It must be borne in mind that all gases no matter what their reSnective weights may be, have the power of diffusion, or of mixing up with one another, and when one thinks of the immense distance the tail has to tra- verse before reaching us it will read fly be understood that any gases con- posing it will be so attenuated IS to be utterly imperceptible.
 It will be perfectly safe to say. however, that there is no likelihood whatever of even the fag-end of the tail reaching the earth's surface. There are no authentic records with regard to Halley's com- ct of it's ever having done so, and, since it's last two ap- pearances tended to show that its tail was diminishing, so much the more remote will the chance be of :ts reaching us this time.

PAPER FAMINE FEARED.

New York, April 2S.-After John
Norris. chairman Of the committee ON
paper, had announced at the meeting
of the American Newspaper Publishers
Association today that the govern
ment reports from paper mills show
ing stock on hand April l indicated
that there was less than six days sup
ply of paper for the newspapers. the
association instructed its president to
send The following statement to Con-
gress.
AS result of strike in the mills
IF the International Paper Co. the
price Of news print paper for tran
scient needs has advanced approx
matclv SO per ton within the last five
weeks. A condition approaching a pa
per famine is imminent. The commits
sioner OF corporations reports that the
stock on hand at paper mills on March
81 was 1?.9O7 tons, which is less than a
;x-dss supply for the newspapers.
Within three years the newspapers
have encountered three such panics In
paper supply. .~th
"Aggravating this situation is to the
official announcement Of the province
Of Quebec that pulp wood cut from
be exported. The American supply Of
pulp wood is almost exhausted. Many
of the American mills are dependent
upon Canada for their supply OF raw
material so that the action of this
provincial authorities brings to the
print paper industry of the United
States a menace which the special
committee of the House of Representa-
; of an nj ht, n tinV,
of the subject. attempted to avert by
its unanimous recommendation for
legislation. If final action In adjusting
this print paper matter with Canada
is deferred for ratification and APPROX
al by Congress until next winter, IL Is
probable that the newspapers loss due
to this delay will reach millions Of
dollars
I'VE ask that you promptly act upon
the bill proposed by the chairman of
that committee, Hon. James r. Mann
Oh. r. bill 1910, entitled "A bill to
encourage and promote commerce be-
tween the United States and the Do
mionion of Canada and authorizing
the free entry of wood pulp and print
ing paper from Canada provided all
restrictions on the expectation of pulp
wood and wood pulp are removed. The
good faith Of Congress was pledged to
adopt the recommendation Of that
special committee" ~
A considerable portion Of the re-
port of the committee on paper was
devoted to review Of the pulp wood
situation and the tariff complications
with Canada involved in II. Hope was
expressed that the coming confer
cnces arranged for by President Taft
and the Canadian authorities would
result in adjustment of the trade, re-
lations between the two countries and
permit of full and free supply Of
pulp wood. which will relieve the, pa
per crisis attributed to the tariff tan
gle and aggravated by the existing pa
per mill strikes. -s
The report urged measures to hasten
action for removing the menace OF
millions of dollars loss to newspapers
through the prolongation Of present
conditions until next winter and to
end the suspense of awaiting the "un-
certain decision Of special interests In
Congress-"
The adoption Of the Mann bill in
Congress for the encouragement OF
| commerce between the United States
| and Canada was advocated.
