THIS NIGHT
THE EARTH WILL ENTER THE

GOING AT RATE OF FIFTY
MILES PER SECOND.
(HeraId Specially


New York, May 1S.-At 1920
o'clock tonight the earth will enter
the tail of Halley's comet. The sweep
of the comets tail is estimated at one
million miles in thickness and twenty
times as great in length. The dis
lance between the earth and the head
of the comet at this time will be four
teen million miles, and the passing of
the two will be at a speed of fifty
miles per second. According to the
concensus of opinion by the scientists
the people of America will be able to
see an illumination in the western
sky, accompanied by a meteoric dis
play. 1t will be impossible to see the
comet before Thursday or Friday.
Harold Jacob Rutherford, professor
of astronomy at Columbia University,
says the comet will be visible in the
future only in the western sky in the
evening and will entirely disappear
from view by the end of June. The
moon will interfere with the view
until after May oath, and the comet
will be seen to the best advantage
during the first week in June. The
scientists are agreed that there is no
danger of collision Scientists and
observers all over the country have
made extensive preparations to OBJ
serve the passing of the earth through
the tail of the comet tonight.

WALTER PAULOS DIES
Assistant Fire Chief, Well
Known in City, Succumbs
to Short Illness.
SERVED THE CITY Is YEARS

Walter J. Paulus. assistant fire chief
died last night at e:45 O'Clock at his
home. 1918 North A street, from brain
fever. His illness was of short dura-
ton and his death came as a sur
prise. He was slightly i'll on Monday
at the city building. and on Tuesday
morning decided to go to his home.
His condition became critical only
yesterday.
Walter Paulus began service in the
fire department eighteen years ago
and has served continuously except
during the Schillinger administration.
When Mayor Zimmerman began his
present administration he appointed
Paulus assistant fire chief which posi-
ton he has filled with credit During
his career as fireman he has been cap
tain Of No. hose company, captain OF
the ladder truck crew at No. 2 hose
house, and captain Of No. 3 hose
house.
The dead assistant chief was popu.
lar with his men and was known as
a brave fire fighter. He was a mem
Der of Occur de Lion lodge Knights OF
Pythias. In a recent election he made
the race for township trustee.
Paulus is survived by his wife. Mary
Paulus; a son, Charles Paulus of Rich
mond; two daughters, Mrs. Ernestine
Slack of Milwaukee, and Mrs. Grace
Geber of Richmond, and a sister, Mrs.
Charles Bell of Richmond.
Having been left an orphan at an
early age, Mr.. Paulus made his way
under great difficulties. His boyhood
was spent on the farm of Walter S.
Commons, near Centerville. His jov'
ial disposition and his optimistic view
or life won for him a large circle OF
friends. He was 40 years of age.
A pathetic scene occurred at the
bedside yesterday soon after the sick
man lost consciousness. The fire
alarm sounded at No. 3 hose house
directly across the street from his
home, and the little group of friends
waited breathlessly. hoping the famil
lar sound might arouse him to con-
tinue his fight for life. He gave nc
heed to the bell that had SO often
called him to duty.
The funeral will be held on Monday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the home
and burial will be in Earlham. Friends
may call at any time.
The Richmond Fire Department will
attend the funeral in body.
