NAKED EYE MAY SEE
COMET ON APRIL

San Jose. Cal.-Halley's comet will
be visible to the naked eye, just be-
fore dawn on April s, or shortly af-
ter that date, states w. w. Sampbell,
director of Lick Observatory, on
Mount Hamilton.
"While it is never possible to pre-
dict how bright comet is going to
be-" he said recently, sit is safe to say
that the head and perhaps a little of
the tail of the comet will be visible
at this time.
"On May Is the comet will pass be-
tween the earth and the sun at a dis
tance of 100000 miles from the
earth. On this day the earth may
pass through the tail of the comet, but
there is no danger for terrestrial life
as at this distance from the head the
tail of the comet will be extremely at
tenuated The passage of the comet
between the sun and earth cannot be
observed to advantage from Califor-
mia, because the sun will be close to
the horizon, and observations will
have to be made through a great ex-
tent of terrestrial atmosphere. OBJ
servers in the Hawaiian Islands, Aus
tralia and Asia will be well situated
The American Astronomical associa-
tion will send a Photographic expedi-
tion to the island of Oahu"

in Tualatin valley east Of the big hill,
says the Portland Journal.
Plans for this project have so far
progressed that the promoters have
procured options on practically two
thirds of the Tualatin valley contig-
uous to the eastern foot of Council
Crest, and in part along the eastern
slope of the hill. The route for the
tunnel has also been determined up
on, and permission gained to construct
the bore according to this route.
1t is intended to make this tunnel of
sufficient size to permit an automo-
bile or carriage driveway on either
side of the car track. which is to be
laid in the middle. The tunnel will be
little over a mile in length, and will
give a means of maintaining 7-min-
ute car service between the down
town district of the city and the heart
of the Tualatin valley. thus opening
that district as one of the most de-
sirable and beautiful residence Sec
tions of the city.
The plans of the capitalists back of
the project are now in course Of or
ganization, and it is expected that the
first steps oward actual construction
will begin before the summer is over.

fairs of the Congo may result in an
undeniable demand for his resigna-

NJ. Vendervelde, the socialist lead

deceived his ministers and had be-
queathed his immense illgotten for

companies composed of STRAW" men.
The greater part of this fortune, he
said, was profit from the late kings
malodorous administration of the
Congo and funds of the crown domain,
whose assets should revert to Belgium
with annexation.
NJ. Jensen, a liberal, asserted that
many millions had disappeared from
the Congo treasury, and amid a scene
of excitement demanded to know
what money had maintained the ex-
travagance of the Baroness Vaughn's
establishment at Balincourt.
The minister of the colonies rose to
make answer. and under the fire of
questions admitted that he had been
deceived in certain respects on the
Congo fund This admission brought
cries of "Resignl" "Resign!" from
members of the chamber and to re-

paths straight he went on to do ii.
Not to bring down hills like these,
but hills of iniquity.'
The doctor then went on to speak
of the common sins of the people and

Speaking of gambling, card parties,

boys until the women of this country
stop gambling for cream pitchers, etc.
They all play the same games use the
same cards and at the same hours.
The only difference is that the boy

Indian Trails for Airships

From the New YORK world.
Oryille Wright recommends for both
the st. Louis and Chicago aeroplane
flights the line of the Hudson and the
Erie canal to Buffalo, thence the lake
shore to Cleveland, where the st. Louis
route would diverge to the southwest.
This is, as far as Cleveland, precisely
the route the unettered civil engineers of
the Iroouois Indians laid out before
white men came to the country, except
that the Indians at times varied 1t by
taking Woods creek to Oswego. Living
on the Mohawk trail, they easily ruled
the tribes far and near in either direc-
ton.
They made paths for more than they
knew. those Six Nation pioneers. After
them tramped the royalist armies; the
wagon road followed their footsteps, then
the canal, the telegraph, six parallel
railway tracks-and finally the airshir
will plv their route to regions they once
reached so slowly by paddle and port
age.
Mr.. Wright does not consider it wise at
present for an aeroplane to cross the
Alleghanies, since height reduces motor
efficiency and emergency landings are
few. Ultimately the aeroplane must take
this route also, and when it does 1t will
not f1y straight over the bristiing noun
tain tons like a balloon, but will follow
the lower level of the old Penni-Lenape
trail along the Susquehanna and the Kis-
kiminetas to the scene of the Braddock
massacre
The Indians could hardly have guessed
that they We're surveying airship routes
when they made their trails, but they
were.

The Tip Trust

From Success Magazine.
If you have ever been a visitor to the
dining room of a large city hotel you
have been impressed with the eagsTness
with which a uniformed attendant re-
lieves you of your hat and coat at the
entrance. Your personal wishes are
never consulted in this matter; the uni
formed attendant always wears an ex-
preston which says: You carry your
hat into the dining room at your peril"
and give 1t up. When you escape
from the clutches of a mercenary waiter
and return to the door you are met by
the attendant wearing the same uniform
but a wholly different expression. Now
ii says: Il have seen your hat safely
through this crisis. / have widowed
mother to support and you look like a
generous person." So you pay him for
doing something for you that you didn't
want done.
We are told now that all these boys
wearing blackmail expressions are only
menials of the hat tip trust, that their
uniforms do not contain pockets, that
the tip company pays the hotel large
sums for the coat room privilege and
makes neat profit anyway. If you
feel peevish about paying tribute to the
hat tip trust just reflect that maybe

Alabama is rapidly reaching a stage

The galaxy of worthless who have
adorned the annals of Alabama are
largely unknown to the present genera
ton. Reaching back to the initial stages
of the statehood of Alabama, and even
beyond, were men of different stations
and positions to recall the deeds of whom
is to demonstrate the distinction which
they achieved and the contribution which
each made to the building of the state.
1t is possible that the present writer may
undertake, at no distant day, to present
in a series of articles, the merits of
those worthless, extending from the early
stages of the states history to the pres
ent generation.
Even casual study of the conditions
of the early period of our history will
reveal the fact that there were drawn
hither from divers and remote regions
the very agents suited to the construction
and conservation of a great common
wealth. Besides their inherent merit
which would have Won recognition in any
quarter of the civilized globe, there was
| the heroic Willingness to endure hardship
in placing the foundation stones in the
basis of prospeetively great state.
AS Alabama has been developed zach
generation has furnished certain premi-
nent and distinguished representatives,
occupying different positions, and she'd
ding luster on the history of the state.
Their names and deeds are worthy of
record. The remains of great and good
men, like Elijahs mantle, should be
gathered and preserved by their sur
viyors, that as their works follow them
in the reward of them, they may stay
behind in their benefit. AS Horace Mann,
in one place says, Biography, especially
of the great and good, who have risen
by their own exertions to emnence and
usefulness. is an inspiring and ennobling
study. Its direct tendency is to repro
duce the excellence it records.
To seize the points of character of
great and worthy citizens, resolve them
into a convenient compass of presenta-
ton and illustrate their contribution to
the state in its progress through nine
tenths of a century, should be matter
of interest to every Alabamian. Be-
side it Is due the memory of the great
actors in the long drama of years, that
their deeds be kept green in the minds
of succeeding generations.
The procession of Alabama's great and
worthy citizenship is a long one. States
men, jurists, philosophers, authors
scholars, military chieftains, captains of
industry, historians. poets. diplomats, ed
ucators-Alabama has produced long
line of these and while all, even of the

worthy representatives of each class
would afford an index of the many sided
ness of our worthless.
If, as Lamertine says, History Is
neither more nor less than biography on
large SCALE to record the lives and
deeds of distinguished citizens of the
past is to compress within limited con-
fines practically the history of the state.
