travelled the same plane with the
earth, as the planets do SO nearly,
then the probability of collision
would be greatly increased. But
comets strike in from all conceiv-
able directions, and in planes diverg-
ing from ours by all conceivable an
giles. And, though many Of them
cross the path of the earth twice in
coming and going, they do so as ele-
waited and subway trains cross the
path Of a surface car. 1t is the aim
Of railroad builders to eliminate the
grade-crossing. In the universe 1t
is eliminated. II is almost an in
credible thing that a comet should
strike directly into the earth's path.
In the case of Halley's comet, now

dismay, this body rises above the
earth's level on January Is, 1910;

May Is and crosses beneath our path
on May 81. Even If the comets
crossing our plane should take place
where it also crosses our path, the
probabilities against the earth's hap
pening along at the same instant
would be practically infinite. Here
is the earth flying through space at
1000 miles a minute, and Halley's
comet dashing across our path at
154S miles a minute. With such
speed, we should have TO meet at the

If you happened to draw the wrong
hat IN barber shop and blamed the
whisk-broom boy for the switch and
afterward discovered that you had
been wearing another's chapeau during
the day, and did not know it, don't
you think you would be angry after
the discovery, and that you would feel
like humping your head against e
stone wall?
That was the predicament a Rock
Island business man found himself in
one day last week. On the way home
late in the afternoon he dropped into
see his barber for a shave Just about
the same time that he dropped into
the first chair a stranger climbed into
the one next him. The stranger asked
for a hurried shave and he was ac-
commodated. The porter handed him
his hat and he departed.
The Rock Islander, after he had
been shaved, reached for what he sup
posed was his own hat. 1t was the
only one remaining on the rack He
saw at once that he had the property
of some other person. He turned on
the porter and accused him of having
given away his hat and that he pro-
posed to hold the proprietor of the
establishment responsible. The hat
had just been purchased the day be-
fore, and he did not intend standing
the loss. The porter went out into
the street in an effort to locate the
stranger who had left the shop a few
minutes previously, but he returned
without having got sight of him. Then
the proprietor joined in the search.
The hotel registers were consulted to
find initials to correspond with those
in the hat it was supposed the stranger
had left behind, but without satisfac-
tory result.
What struck the proprietor OF the
shop as unusual was that the
stranger should be wearing a hat that
was labeled with the name of a local
clothing house. This put clew into
the mind of the one who was making
the complaint, and he excused him
self. He remembered that earlier in
the day he had been at the club for
luncheon, and he recalled that among
those he saw there was a merchant
whose initials tailed with those in the
hat that he was positive belonged to
the stranger. He guessed correctly.
Then forthwith he returned to the
barber shop and squared himself with
the proprietor and the porter.

his assertion visited the mirror again.
I reported that was looking natural,
but I couldn't convince him when [
reached the chair again. He said the
spell was back. He began hosting the
dust, and then I realized the reason.
He got me to feeling better. He
didn't foot a horn or play with
teddy bear to get my goat, but he
jollied me to beat the band, and the
result, 1 take it, was the same. l saw
what he was after, and 1 began to
think of drawing down a piece of
money that would make the ordinary
millionaire look like deuce in a dis
carded deck Then l noticed the ras-
cal sneak behind the hood, and when
/ about reached the middle of my
dream I heard the click. He told me
not to wake up, and he changed my
position and there was another click.
Then he told me that was all. He con-
graduated me as a subject, and pre-
dicted splendid result Just between

nsion. But, though we have found
that a comets path is something
defnite-as much so as that Of
planet-yet the two facts that it's
path crosses the paths of the planets,
and that new comets, with unknown
paths, are constantly bursting upon
our vision, might well give us con-
Germ as to the safety OF our globe.
This question may be dealt with
partly on the basis of probability.
1t was the opinion of Babinet that a
collision was likely to occur once
in $4,000, 900 years: Prof William
H. Pickering regards the core of
comet, from which the chief danger
would rise, as liable to strike the
earth once in 100000, 900 years. He
finds that, in the last half of the
Nineteenth Century, 121 comets pene-
trated the sphere Of the earth's orbit.
From this he deduces that we should
expect to be struck by the core of a
visible comet only once in about AGO.
000,0 years; but we might expect
collision with some part of the
larger head once in 4,00o,0 900 years.
He, however. doubles this frequency
to once in 100000 years, owing to
the fact that the orbits of comets
are more frequently distributed near
the ecliptic. the plane in which the
earth travels. He believes that, dur
