CONENT IS LIKE
STAR A PRESENT
SPECTACULAR DISPLAY I'M HEAv.
EMS BILLED TO BEGIN ABOUT
THE MIDDLE or MAY.

Chicago, April 14,-Plain citizens
who got up at 4 o'clock this morning
to catch q glimpse or Halley's comet
in the eastern sky were disappointed.
even IL the morning was clear enough
to see the wanderer. That they will
keep on being disappointed for several
days to come is the verdict of the Chi
cago astronomers who are watching for
the first appearance OF the comet since
it's swing around the sun.
The astronomers yesterday gave out
several interesting facts, which should
be kept for reference. Some of these
facts are:
1t is waste of the laymans time to
stay up all night or rise early in the
morning to see the comet.
When the comet appears in the east
1t will be as very faint Ctar, scarcely
visible to the unaided eye.
For several days to come II will be
visible (if mists do not interfere) only
between and 1870 a. m. low down in
the eastern sky.
Those who expect to see a great dis
play will have to wait four or Ave
weeks-say until about May is to
May "a. Then the comet will be at its
best. It's tail will stretch far across
the sky.
Will Pass Through Tail.
On May Is the earth in all proba-
bility will pass through the comets
tail. The tail consists Of the most
action Mixed with the cyanogen is
the chemical compound that makes
prussic acid so deadly and swift in its
action. Mixed with the syanogen is
acetylene gas, but deadly as these
gases are they will not hurt any living
thing, so thin are they in the tail of
the comet.
1--WE determined in January that the
main constituent of the tail Of Halley's
comet was cyanogen," said Prof. Ed
win B. Frost of the Yerkes Observa-
tory yesterday. There is also acety-
lene gas in 1t. Now while 1t is true
that cyanogen in any appreciate
quantity would be deadly to living
things, 1t is so thin in this comets tail
that nobody will feel tho effects of 1t,
even If we pass directly through the
tail--whieh is not yet absolutely GER
tain. When the calculations were made
the comet was coming straight toward
the earth, and very slight error in
the calculation would make very big
difference when the comet gets around
to us. The tail is 100000 miles long,
but the earth is very small body, and
If an error was made-only a slight
one we would fall short of the tail
and miss 1T altogether.
Professor Daniel J. McHughs of the
De Paul university gets up every
morning to sight the comet with his
telescope.
II would like to advise all who have
not telescope to stay in bed morn
ings for a week or ewo," he said yes
terday. "A month ago / thought the
comet would be visible to the naked
eye about this time. Should 1t be it
will appear as a very small star.
''It will be visible in all it's magnif-
cence. however, in the evening in
about a month from now. Then it
will be worth looking at. The tail
should span about sixth of the en-
tire sky. 1t Is a smooth, straight band
of light that comes out from the comet
like great finger. In length IT should
be equal to about thirty times the
width of the full moon.
There seems not much doubt that

1t, excellent results may be had with
artificial fertilizers bought from the
florist or seedman.
Bone is good, but it is not a complete
fertilizer. Wood ashes should be used
with caution, as the large amount of
lime they contain may do mischief. The
best is what is known as complete
fertilizer. Ask, when you buy 1t, how
to use it and never use more than the
directions permit. A very light sprink-
ling over the soil after spading or
ploughing and then raked in, is best.
Chemical fertilizers are very strong and
will kill or injure plants If used to ex-
cess.

we will pass through the tail, but there
win be no danger to living creatures.
How win it look? Well as the earth
passes through the tail the western sky
should be nagniicently illuminated
from the horizon to the zenith in the
west. The material of the tail is so
thin that believe the earth's at
mosphere viii blow 1T aside and go
right through IL. I do not believe that
the stuff in the tail will even reach
the lower layers of the earth's atrnos-
phere."
At the Yerl1es observatory two teles-
copes are given up to the exclusive
study OF the comet.

The General Federation Q
Women's Clubs.

The October Century contains an
article on THE General Federation of
Women's Clubs" by Miss Hildegrade
Hawthorne, not herself a club-woman,
but a woman of broad information and
sympathy. Miss Hawthorne attended
the last meeting, the tenth biennial, of
the General Federation, at Cincinnati,
specially to gather material for the
paper, from which extracts are given
below:
The one woman invited to attend the
meetings of the first Conference of
Governors held at the White House in
1908 was Mrs. Sarah S. Platt Decker of
Federation of Women's Clubs, and dur
ing her speech to the conference she
told this story:
One evening Farmer Jones came back
from his weekly trip to town, half a
dozen miles away, and after unhitching
his mare, walked over to the pump for
his customary scrub, and her joined
his son and daughter at supper in the
kitchen.

"Well, Pa, l don't rec'elect that We
had anything else ye ought to have
brought back"
But still Pa did not seem quite salts
fled. He chewed a while reiectively,
his gaze fixed ruminatingly on space.
Suddenly he smote his thigh with a pro-
longed exclamation: "By Gosh! It's
Ma I've forgot"
"And that" observed Mrs. Decker,

given up waiting. She has arrived by
a path of her own, and she's not going

and was received in audience by his
holiness, Pope Plus Y. A chorus of men
and women sang a welcoming song and
the balance of the evening was pleasantly
spent in handshaking and the singing
of several duets and solos. Since his
coming to Middlebury Father Shannon
has endeared himself to his parishioners
and has made many warm friends
among the people of this vicinity.
