Morbid minded and ignorant individu-
ais who are expecting earthquakes,
floods. tidal waves and similar nerve
destroying phenomena TO attend the
appearance of Halley's comet IN this
portion of the universe may expect
no sympathy from Prof. Robert w.
Wood of the John Hopkins University,
Baltimore. who is familiar enough with
Haney's comet TO call It by its first
name
IAN such talk is absolute nonsense,
said he. "HaIeys comet never has
caused any disasters on this globe and
win cause no more this time than il
I has in the past"
y ALREADY the superstitious have begun
20 look upon the return of the famous
wanderer through space as an omen
OF misfortune in spite Of the assurances
Of astronomers and scientists to the
contrary when the beautiful phen-
smenon is actually visible in the
heavens it is very probable. in spite
o. anything that can be said or done,
mat there viii be numerous attacks
OF hysteria throughout the world
Everything that happens between now
and the disappearance Of the comet
win be traced 10 that visitor, no matter
whether il be twins or the eruption OF

Professor Wood is of the opinion,
though. that IL would not be so bad
after ALL for Il will not have much
effect on the comet anyway, and some
one may be able to sneak out of "a diff
ficulty.
Incidentally Professor Wood says the
comet win be visible in this section
in a week or 10 days. II will appear
about two hours before sunset. The
exact date is not known. for II all
depends on the luminosity of the comet.
which is now too close 10 the sun TO
be visible. The stronger light of the
sun outshines II. The comet is now
rising about an hour before sunrise,
but is getting up little earlier each
day. This will las tfor a short time
and then the sun will catch up to Il
again. 1t viii be during this period
! that the comet win pass through the
SUMS disk.
Passing through the suns disk may
sound like there will be something do
ing in the heavens in the ripping line;
| but IL will not be so bad as IL sounds,
/ for il merely means that the comet
viii pass between the sun and the
earth. II the comet were solid body.
| ii would result in a total or partial
eclipse; but. since that heavenly tramp
I is mostly gas, Il will pass through the
suns disk meelSly. II there is any diff
ference in the suns appearance, II will
be very slight.
Professor Wood says the latest
! theory concerning the head Of the
comet is that It is comprised of small
| meteorites. The tail is gas. This latter
fact, too. seems TO be causing alarm on
the part OF some, for they fear that on
May IS when IL is believed the tail of
Halleys comet will brush the earth,
all persons will be asphyxiated. This
fear. however, is as baseless as the
. predictions Of earthquakes and the like
for the gas is so diluted that II will be
, unable 70 make an impression on the
atmosphere of the earth. The air will
r be Just as refreshing as ever while the
( brushing is in progress.
II any sober citizen should OBJ
serve the comet wagging its tail. there
: may be something to look out for; but
D even then IL is just as likely 10 be a
good omen as a bad one, for some time
comets wag their tails when they are
in a good humor.
According to Professor Wood IN,
comet will be at its best during tn,
latter part of May. Each evening 4

his duties exists in this city. He de-
clares that 'in due time" the exact
character of the intrigue, which Is one
not only hostile to the embassy but to
the interests of the American govern
ment as WE'LL will be known.
His discovery of the alleged intrigue
grew out of the receipt by Ell Impair
cial, a leading Spanish daily here, of a
New York special recounting the pub
lication in that city of a sensational
story under a Mexico City date. OF
offenses which the ambassador is al
legged to have given to the Mexican
people in recent speech at a banquet
in his honor by the American colony.
Mr.. Wilson is said to have succeeded
as no other diplomat before him in ex-
citing the Latin blood of Mexico
through historical reference to the
empire of Charles V of Spain and at
tributing to the Aztec and Toltec blood
in large degree the rise and develop
mcnt of Mexican civilization"
The ambassadors words were criti-
cised editorially by Ell Correo Espanol,

appeared in the juvenils court yester-
day in company with Ermon Burwell,
Is years old, and son of a roundhouse
man in Bakersfield, on the charge of
stealing copper wire from the Pacific
Electric company at Long Beach to the
value of $3.50.
The youngsters were arrested by the
Long Beach officers last week and it
is alleged that they had sold the wire
for a considerable sum, the theft be-
ing charged against them following the
selling Of the wire. The boys pleaded
guilty before Judge Wilbur yesterday

tanned by the theft of the wire and
after the court had severely rep
rimanded them both youngsters were
turned over to their relatives on the
understanding that in future they
would not violate the law.
