longer trails behind, but projects
in front, as if some mighty solar
wind were blowing it in advance
Of the head. The phenomenon has
long been an astronomical riddle.
Here was a kind of matter that
refused to obey the laws of gravi-
tation and yield to the enormous
pull Of the sun. 1t was thought
for time that The tail was flung
away from the sun by stupendous
repelhng electrical forces. That
electricity plays its part in the
formation of the fairy plume is
conceivable, and even probable:
but recently the physicist has dis
covered a new source Of repellent
energy which very pIausibly ex-
plains the mystery of comets
tail. This new source of energy
is nothing less than the pressure
or push Of the suns light. Solar
uravitatiOn is a force more power
fuI than many Of us perhaps real
izc. f it were possible for you to
live on the sun, you would find
yourself pulled down SO violently
that your body would weigh two
tons. Your clothing alone would
weigh more than one hundred
pounds. Running would be
very difficult athletic feat. Light
pressure must indeed be powerful
if it can conquer SO relentless a
i force.
Because we have never seen OBJ
jects torn from our hands by the
pressure Of light, it may be in
ferred that this newly discovered
force affects only bodies that are
i inyisibIy small. With the aid Of
i instruments that feel what our
eyes can never see, the modern
i physicist has critically analyZed
the radiation that beats upon the
earth from the distant sun. That
light really does sway infinitely
small particles was first expert
mentally proved 10y the Russian
Lcbedcy.
Before we can completed " ac-
cept the view that light pressure
forms this tram of SCOT we must
ascertain whether The pressure Of
light is capable Of accounting for
the hash-likc rapidity with which
a comets tail changes. a comet
may throw out a tail sixty million
miles long in two days. Is it act
ually possible for light pressure to
accomplish that astonishing feat 7
Arrhenius has computed that
$50, 900 miles an hour is the speed
of a llght-ilung particle of one half
the critical diameter. Because
they are only one-eighteenth as
large as this particle of critical
diameter, cometary dust grains
would be propelled over the same
665, 900 miles in less than four
minutes. 1t follows that the solar
: radiation would experience no
difficulty in tossing out a tail of
sixty million miles in two days.

Several hundred cubic miles of

son OF its fairy hghtncss, it is
possible for tail occupying a
volume thousands of times greater
than the sun to sweep through our
solar system witEuut causing any
perturbations in planetary move
ments. The earth itself has on
more than one occasion plowed
through a comets tail, and no one
was the wiser until the astronom-
crs announced the fact. months
later, when they had finished their
computations.
Because comets have whisked us
with their tails it must not be in
fcrrcd that collisions with fiery
wanderers are likely to occur.
Such cataclysms happen only in
Jules \erne's novels and in the
Sunday neWpaper. The alarming
possibilities of collision were APP
preciated long before the days of
sensational journalism. W h e n
Olbcrs calculated that Bicla's Com

the earth would be. 1t was not

out that the earth would be $50

Things That Must Come to Philip

drawn the fire from every live
editor and correspondent in Stan
ley county. Most of them have
done credit to their profession and
shown stamina characteristics Of
western journalism, but there are
two who attempted to get their
batteries in action and seemingly ~
failed for lack of ammunition of
the right caliber. think one of
them was trying to use smokeless
powder, but not having any on
hand contented himself with puff
ing ci gar smoke.
Philip expected few well d.
rected shots from Midland, a
mighty good town on the line,
but little too far east for a coun-
ty seat-unless- Midland
starts an agitation for removal of
present county seat from Fort
Pierre. This would give Midland
the advantage over every other
town in the county. If the people
of Stanley county are opposed to
division especially those living at
Fort Pierre. then the next move
on the political chess board will
be for a removal Of present coun-
ty seat to Midland, a town that is
practically in the center of the
county and would be an ideal loca-
tion in case the majority of the
voters conclude that one county
seat is sufficient for Stanley coun-
ty for all time to come. If Mid
land intends to take any action in
the matter why don't they open
their batteries and shoot at some
thing and not be a bump on log.
A mask battery during the civil
war kept mum until some scout
located them and then there was
hurrying to and fro and the
familiar command was Give 'em
HI" That is what war is, and
the dogs in the manger had little
chance for an argument or sym
pathy from those who were doing
the fighting.
A we'll known capitalist living
at Philip offers to donate wad OF
money to remove the county seat
from Fort Pierre to Midland if
the decision of the voters of the
county is for one county seat only.
If it is finally discovered that this
is the sentiment then all Of the
western part Of the county should
support Midland. That is provid.
ing her citizens wanted it. II
would hardly be the proper thing
to force it upon them. If the
editor down there would wake uf

PENNsY'S STEEL RAIL ORDER.
will Not Be Placed at Once, Pending
Developments.


Although the preliminary estimates
of their steel-rail requirements for
1911 have been submitted by the var
ious superintendent Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, no great amount of
haste is likely to be displayed in plac-
ing the orders Various considerations
will enter into and determine the size
of the order for 1911. regardless of the
estimates already furnished.
Among these are the probable out
come of the railroads effort for high
err freight rates and the future out
look for the transportation busi-
ness. The Pennsylvania railroad con-
templates no extensive improvement
work for next year so that its steel
rail requirements will be limited
largely to removals, and with the pres
ent generally good condition of the
company's road-bed over the entire
system the size of the order. even for
renewal purposes, might be serious
ly curtailed unless there is a very de-
cided improvement in general trade.
In fact. II was said by an oIhcial
of the company yesterday that, should
the necessity arise. the company could
get along in 1911 without buying a
ton of steel rails. as all pressing needs
could be met from the rails left over
from the present years delivery.

UNIVERSITY COURSES
GIVEN In WILMINGTON

The College Of the University Of
Pennsylvania has arranged to give
systematic courses in college work
during the year 1901. at places out
side of Philadelphia. Wilmington has
been selected as one Of these centres.
These courses will be given by pro-
fessors and instructors in the college,
either at late afternoon hours, Of in
the evening. They are the same as
those now offered in the college cour-
ses for teachers.
A certificate will be given for each
completed course. and credit toward
degree may be obtained under the
same conditions as in the college cour-
ses for teachers.
Admission to these courses is not
restricted to teachers but Is open to
others in the community who may de-
sire TO avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity.
In response 10 q demand, the Uni
versity is arranging to give courses
in the following subjects during the
present school year in Wilmington:
Economics. English Fine Arts,
French, Geography, German, History
and Sociology.
Any one interested in either OF these
courses should apply for all necessary
information to the following secre-
taries for the different courses;
