Has His Plans Mapped Gut.
Commander Peary's plan is to make

1880 miles from the English base, and
push on TO the pole over a new route, .
he explained mo better plan has been
suggested, and this one will probably be
carried out.
"Our party will have further 10 go than
the English expedition. but the results
will be decided by equipment and the
personnel Of the expeditions. AS to who
will command tho expedition, nothing has
been definitely decided as yet. The equip

NO DANGER FROM COMET.
Prof. Pickering Does Not Believe
FlammariOn Was Rightly Quoted.

Boston, Mass, Feb. S-Prof E. c.
Pickering. director Of Harvard Observa-
tory, to-day scoffed at the report from
Paris that Camille Fiammarlon. the
French astronomer, had been quoted as
declaring that wholesale extinction of
life will follow the passing Of the earth
through the nebulae OF Haney's comet
on May l8
That the oyanogen gas in the tail Of
the comet is destructive OF all life is
doubted by Prof. Pickering, who said:
I do not believe that F1ammarion said
that. However. If he did, it will have no
weight with astronomers Of standing, as
they concur in the belief that there Is
absolutely no danger TO be feared.
Mother earth had the experience once
Of passing through a comets tail, and
she is still with us. Too many of these
rumors are owing to the efforts of cheap
sensationalists who desire free advertis-
