but as vet we know next to nothing OF
II. It may be electrical, causing the
rare gas Of the comet to glow ~ On
electrical discharge through tube Of
rare gas in the laboratory causes II to
glow. II may be the same thing that
causes the northern lights in our own
atmosphere, about the real nature Of
which we know little, or It may be
something entirely different. The state
OF the matter in comet and its dis
tribution are both only matters Of con-
lecture.
Therefore. since we know nothing Of
the solar influence which makes the
comet shine, almost nothing Of the con-
dition Of the comet itself and that
/ there is a wide variation among COM
/ cts as 10 their behavior, under cir
! cumstances which are apparently
identical, it Is easy 10 see why no one
can say with any degree Of certaints
just how bright any comet will be al
any time or how much tail 1t will
have.
The prospects are that by the last o
April Halley's comet viii be fairl!
bright--perhaps as bright as the come
seen near the sun in January. Blu
It must be remembered that this Is onl
probability. and that It is based on Il
behavior at former appearances. to
gether with the fact that the distanc
between us and II decreases very rapid
" during the next six weeks. Their
is a possibility that il viii be muc
more brilliant than any comet 70
years past, also that II will be onl
ordinary. For my own part hav
no very definite notion Of how it Wi
look
We are getting ready 10 record every
thing possible concerning the comet
whether II be bright or faint, and i
may be that something will be foun,
out which will help explain some o.
these questions which we all ask ant
cannot answer.

Lloyd George became Chancellor OF the
Exchequer and Incorporated it into
the budget, and It passed the Com

Prophesies Another War.
Germany and Japan. said Mr.. George
are successfully adopting single tax,
and finding abundant revenue. They
were doing 1t not from motives Of So
cial justice, but because they needed
the money for war ships and other i'm
provements. Mr.. George prophesied
another Russo-Japanese war in six
years, for Russia would need a sea-
port.
New York. under the Seth Low adj
ministration, found forty-five million

said Mr.. George, but that taxes on
houses and improvements will be abol-

objection to single tax was that SO
much revenue would be raised, the
officials might be led into extravaganza
Mr.. George also declared himself be-
lievor in free trade.
To Get TO River Front
The audience wanted to know how
the scheme would affect wilmington's
ambition 70 get down to the Delaware
River. Mr.. George asked why IL didn'i
go down there now2 When he was
told that too much was charged for the
land. he said that his plan was the
quickest way to bring down the price
by taxing it so heavily they could moi
afford to keep it waste land.

WE KNOW LITTLE
ABOUT THE COMETS

fBy w. A. Cogshail Of Indiana Uni
veralty, IN Indianapolis News.)
The questions, 'Iiow bright will the
comet beg' How long a tail will Il
hsve7" and 'How long viii It remain
Yisihie?" are ones which are very fire.
duently asked aud never satisfactorily
answered. The only answer we can
give IL that nobody knowns--we must
wait aud nee.
We probably know less about COM
cts. as a class, than Of anything else,
even the most distant stars. We can
tell just what path a comet Is pursu-
ing after sufficient observation; when
Il will come nearest TO use and to the
sun. but only In vague way how its
brightness Will vary, and how much
of a tail II viii have. There have
been comets without even an indica
tion Of a tail; comets whose brightness
has changed in the course OF a singh
day IN a very unaccountable way
comets whose size has undergone
marked change in the same short time
In a general way. and object is brigh
or faint, depending on It's distanc
from ns-also q comet usually get
brighter as It approaches the sun; tax
ing both these factors into account, tn
brightness Of a comet may be predicted
and generally Is, but the prediction il
little more than a guess. This comes
about from the fact that, while Rhs
sun causes the comet to give of light
we DO not know why it does so.
There Is certain amount Of sunlight
reflected from the comet, but in addi-
fion to that the gases OF which the
comet is composed give off light OF
their own, under the action of the sun.
There has been great deal Of specu-
iation as to the nature Of this action
