COMET LEAVING

COMET Leaving earth behind. \ 1910 Travelling Into Space at the Rate of FOrty-One Miles Sec ond-Halley's Comet Wilks Be
 Visible in February.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 2.-Forty- one miles a second is the speed at which Comet A. 1910" is travelling from the earth according to the Har- ward College observatory. A telegram from the Lick observatory also states that Albrecht photographed the spectrum of the comet and found tha sodium displaced thus indicating the motion of the luminarv.

 The approach of the comet will be followed by meteoric showers :, said Professor Frost At present the Ntt5tNt ttl'tVtlio o ilNt tt iU&ZN nftiI. DdI this will disappear about February 21, and it will be easy for any per- son to see it with the naked eve
 Speaking of the Johannesburg comet, the professor said it is dis appearing. It is said to be identical with the 'comet \. of 1910" and has not been visible for days.
 "The Johannesburg comet is losing it's brightness, said Professor Frost, because of its rapid travel away from the sun, but a splitting of it's tail would not be surprising. as this often happens"
 Professor Frost asserts there is no reason for connecting the Paris floods with the comet or any catas- trophe with any astronomical phe- nomena.
 Comet A, 1910, which has been oh- served with great interest by thou- sands of Pine Bluff people. is nov scarcely discernible at this point, and only for a brief time after sunset.

the chance that they are the real

EXPECTED YEARs-cAsE BAFFLE0
BEST OF PHYsIc'ANs-TRIED ESTABLISH INSANITY

Somerville. n. j.. July 13.-Silas
Hoffman, who had not spoken d word
for 81 years. according to his neigh
bors. is dead. He passed away last
night without breaking the silence
he had preserved so long. Just be,
fore he died, he made an effort to
speak to his devoted sister, Mrs. Mar
garet Lane. who has cared for him
in his lonely house throughout his
eccentric career. The attempt failed,
owing either to weakness or to the
fact that he had lost the power to
articulate.
Hoffman was GO years old. He was
one of five sons OF prosperous far
mer. The other four are living and
are prominent in their communities.
Hoffman spent his early life like his
brothers, on his fathers farm. At
the age of 80 he possessed farm and
owned fine team of horses, of which
he was very proud. He was fond Of
society and attended all the social
gatherings of his community.
Then misfortune overlook him. He
lost his farm, and finally his pet team.
He went to bed and turned his face
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-07-14

to the wall, and for a long time re
fused to eat or speak. Food was left
on a table near his bed and when he
was nearly starved, he arose one
night, ate meal and took a stroll
out of doors. He continued for a
number of years to arise each night
eat and take short walk in his gar
den. One winter night more than fif'
teen years ago, he slipped on the ice
and broke an arm while walking in
his garden in the dark. After the
accident he never left his bed.
Whether Hoffman was insane was
never determined, although he had
been examined by a score of physi-
clans with a view to determining his
mental condition. His continued ST.
lence baffled alienists up to the time
OF his death.
Physicians had been expecting Hoff-
man to die every year for the last
decade from sheer inactivity. His
Vitality for number of years had
been so low that at times his heart
almost failed to beat, and for several
days before his death his attending
physician could not detect any pulse.
