His ignorance Of history recently
shocked one of the woman friends of a
young Buffalo society man. 1t was after
a dinner party at his house and she
was telling him what she had learned
In her private history class. One thing
led to another and at the time he was
getting into deeper water. AT last she
surprised him by inquiring: Nov, tell
me, Mr.. -, what are the knights of
the Bath?" He stammered for q while
and finally blurted out: why Satur-

STORM AND WILD BEAST
HELD TEACHER CAPTIVE

Aberdeen, s. D., March 5.-A
roaring storm and bowling
wolves caused Miss Blanche Nc
Duffee, a young woman school
teacher at Forestville, TO remain
in the school house all night
rather than venture home. The
storm subsidized, but wolves we're
heard in the vicinity, and she
feared the animals as much as
she did the wind and sorm. In
the morning she was rescued,
none the worse for her ex-
p~erience, except for hunger.

our view proves the curve that 1t
must make when beyond, so that we
are able to track the monster as If we
saw it every day.
We need first to understand the ar
rangement of the members Of the
solar system, to which both the comet
and the earth belong. At the center
is the sun; round about this body, In
concentric paths, revolve eight plan
cts. These, in the order OF their dis
lance from the sun, are as follows:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Between
Mars and Jupiter there is a swarm
of little worlds. known as asteroids,
not less than $50 in number.
The first four. planets named are
small. The other four are large.
Those nearest the sun travel most
swiftly; those faTthest the most slow
". Mercury is seldom seen, because
so close to the sun as usually to be
lost in its bright rays. Venus is the
brightest star in the heavens, and the
nearest to the earth. Mars is the
world suspected of being Inhabited,
because OF its canals" Jupiter is
our largest planet. Saturn is the Won
derful world girdled with rings.
Uranus and Neptune are not seen ex-
cept with the telescope. These plan
cts shine only with the suns reflect
ed light. All other stars are suns.
The planets travel not perfect cir
cles, but eIlipses, a little longer one
way than the other; and, not in the
center, but at one of the two foci of
each ellipse, nearer one end than the
other, the sun is found. A periodical
comet also travels an ellipse. but
much more f1attened or eccentric, so
that its path may run nearer the sun
in one direction, and farther back
into space in the other, than that Of
any planet.
AS Halley's comet is usually about
rs years in making its complete orbit,
1t is STA years travelling back to the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-03-29

and runs no risk Of collision.
And now the comet is In sight BY
March II It is due to cross the Eeeth
Of the earth. 1t dashes across the or
bit Of Venus about April I, and on
April 10, Is at ''perihelion," its nearest
to the sun, swinging about that BODY
at a distance Of 5000, 900 miles
therefrom, and moving at top speed
Now begins its retreat back into
space. About May 10 1t is again
crossing Venus path. and the 26th OF
May the earth's. Mars orbit Is re-
crossed about the seventh Of July, and
Jupiter's year later. The comet will
then be regarded as past history, Tor
1t will have gone from view, Dotn
telescope and camera failing to re-
port anything further But SO exact
are the operations Of mathematics
that. on any day and at any hour q
skilled astronomer can tell just
where the comet Is, how fast IT Is
going, and how near 1t is to the sun
or the nearest planet
We have spoken of the comet as
twice crossing the earth's path 1t Is
manifest that the earth and comet
might happen to meet at one OF these
crossing points. Hence collision. do
you say? We will discuss that in
later article. But, according to the
calculation followed above, the earth
was at the first crossing about Octo-
Der 30, 1909, and VIII be at the second
about May 1, 1910. As the comet will
be at those same points on March IL
and May 26, 1t Is clear that the two
bodies miss each other by a wide
margin. About the first Of May
the comet is expected to reach the
nearest point to the earth's path, and
the two bodies will for two or three
weeks be near each other. The near
est possibility of approach is about
100000 miles, or "a times the dis
lance of the moon; but the comet
will never be less than twice that dis
lance from our globe. It is mani
fest, therefore, that there Is nothing
to dread.
At it's last visit to our sky, the comet
was visible from August 5, 1885, to May
5, 1886, a period of no less than nine
months. It Is for some such length
of time that mankind will again look
upon this stupendous spectacle. Only
we must remember that, with the tel
escapes, some are already enjoying
what the rest must see for briefer
time with the naked eye. For
months, however, everyone Will be
favored. For a comet is not like q
meteor. flashing and expiring; nor
like an eclipse, a matter OF very few
minutes or hours, and visible only in
certain quarters of the earth. It is
rather a visitor that has come for
quite a soJourn, giving every human
eye, the world over, the opportunity
not only to witness one OF the most
marvellous apparitions of the heavens,
but to watch and study 1t in all its
details.
