COMET FORMING
NEW APP[NDAGE
DOESN'T SEEM TO MIND LOSS OF
TAIL AND Is GENERATING !.
ANOTHER.
OLD EARTH AND SUN SPOTS
TOO MUCH FOR HAELEYs
Astronomers Say Old Tail is Still vis-
ibIe in the East But is Being Dis
sipated = New One May Be Seen
Soon = Comet Has Habit Of Losing
Its Gaseous Appendaes.

Chicago, May 21.-The theory that
which is still floating in space in the
eastern sky, and is now generating a
new one. was advanced by Rev. Daniel
J. McHugh, professor Of astronomy at
Depaul University today. The old tail
was forced away from the comet by the
force Of unusual electrical repulsion
caused by the sun spots which were so
prominent Wednesday, he thinks.
'It is my opinion" said McHugh.
that the comet lost its tail some time
Wednesday night. There are records of
its having done the same thing in 1885.
and it is also believed tail was lost
in March of this year. q also believe
there is not the slightest chance Of
the earth coming in contact with the
tail on this visit.
Combined with the solar repulsion.
caused the sun spots in forcing the
old tail away was the attraction of the
earth. When the old tail broke away 1t
continued in the same. plane. 1t was
seen in the east Thursday morning,
and Friday morning it appeared dim
mer and more dissipiated. I did not
see it this morning, probably because
of the haze. AS the old tail no longer
receives fresh gas and energy from the
head Of the comet, it will disappear in
time.
"1 saw the comet in the west last
night and it has no tail. This strength
ems my theory that it is now generating
new tail, which will become visible in
short time"

"In one breath the gentleman from
New York glorifies his bill because 1t
shuts out importations. In the next he
glorifies 1t because it has increased
importations. The gentleman from New
York must take one horn or the other.
The speaker declared that while
American citizens would prefer to use
American-made goods and articles
rather than foreign productions they
were unwilling to pay exorbitant prices
to American manufacturers.
Taking up the woolen schedule OF the
tariff law Mr.. Clark ridiculed the idea
that the present tariff law was respon-
sible for the increased importations OF
wool in that, he said, the tariff on No.
and No. 2 wool was the same In the
Payne law as in the Dingley law.
other Schedules.
MIR. Clark then took the matter of
the tariff on stockings and said that
the raise m tariff rates on that article
was not for the purpose of aiding INV
employed women, as Mr.. Payne had put
1t, but for the purpose of giving the
American manufacturers monopoly
on the stocking trade.
Mr.. Clark declared that the Payne
tariff had not reduced the price or
clothing, but had increased it and had
resulted in a shoddier class Of goods.
The speaker then turned his attention
to President Taft.
Goes After the President.
II will now drop the gentleman from
New York" exclaimed Mr.. Clark, land
go after bigger game, to-wit, the presi-
dent Of the United States. He is not
only the chief traveller. but Is the chief
spokesman for his party. He deserves
to be treated with cander and respect,
but I have perfect right to discuss
his utterances as wound those
any other public man. wish to call
attention to all concerned to the fact
that the president said on the 5th OF
August, 1909, that the bill is not a per-
feet bill or complete compliance with
the promises made, strictly interpret
ed.' / submit that that declaration or
the president is fiat contradiction OF
the assertion Of the gentleman from
New York that his bill is a perfect
compliance with the promises made
prior to the election Of 1908.
In closing Mr.. Clark commented up
on democratic unity and republican
discordance, and prophesied a victory
for his party in November. He said
he never looked forward to any day
with such Joy as he did ITO the first
Tuesday after the first Monday OF
November, except to my wedding day

CAN'T FIND COMETS TAIL.
Wanderer Appears in West Only as
Rrinht Star.


Chicago, May 21.-A crowd Of weary
picked out Halley's comet after sunset
last evening from among the stars ly-
ing close to the western horizon
For, fifty-six hours astronomers on
duty at the top of the hill back of
Williams bay have slept at infrequent
intervals and not much then. Added
was the nervous worry occasioned
misbehave. so when the clouds lifted
where it ought to be, there was little
enthusiasm under the great clock work
dome.
The comet appeared to the naked eye
as a star of the fourth magnitude at
p. m. The fifth magnitude is the low
est visible with the naked eye. In
half an hour it grew to second magni-
tude and set at o'clock.
Observers held varying opinions as
to whether the comet had its tail be-
hind it or not. Prof E. B. Frost, head
of the staff at Yerkes observatory,
thought the head was travelling toward
the outer end Of it's orbit without any
tail
st think the tail is there all right"
said Prof. F. A. Mitchell of Columbia
university, "but the moonlight is SO
bright that it has no chance to show
itself"
Accounts for, Missing Tail.
oliver ]. Lee. chief computor at the
observatory. held that the observers
were gazing at the comet thru the
length of the tail and for this reason
could not see the tail. This theory
was supported by the fact that the
comet appeared as a hazy glow.
Astronomers were able to get but
one spectroscopic photograph of the
comet. A hasty examination of 1t
showed only faint signs of any sort OF
gas in the portion Of the spectrum
which might pertain to the tail. The
spectrum was continuous.
"The picture we have shows nothing
but the reflected light of the sum-" said
Prof. E. e. Barnard '.The comet is
not generating or throwing off any
gas now, tho it may be doing so tomor-
row. The spectrum reveals no trace
of cyanogen, but shows carbon monox-
ide, hydrocarbon, dioxygen, and sod
ium."
Local observers again last night mo-
ticed a peculiar light effect as the rays
of the moon shone on the clouds near
the horizon As a general thing re-
Election in such cases is almost pure
white. Last night and the night be-
fore the moons reflection on the clouds
took on reddish hue.
May Be Visible Tonight.
The comet will be visible at about
the same hour tonight If the sky is
clear, but the moonlight may make 1t
difficult to find The best view to be
had. say the astronomers, will be next
Monday night, when the moon goes into
total eclipse.
The darkening Of the moons disk will
begin at 9:45 o'clock Monday night
and the earth's shadow will not have
passed completely; over Until z: z: g.. sc

m. until 11.3o p. m. the moon will be
