met. 1t has spun around in the light
of the sun for so long that there is
getting to be less and less of it. 1t
is really inferior now to comets which
will rank as great comets"
Are there many of these so-called
great comets?"
well, there was the comet Of 1S43
and Donatis of 1853 and the Septem-
Der comet of 1882 and Coggias comet
of 1874, and the comet of 1881, and
comet A of 1910. That's about all
for the last century"
What happens to a comet finally
after it becomes more and more vast
ed?" why, it finally becomes mere
ly pack of meteors as nearly as we
can judge. All the gaseous matter IS
forced out of it. In 1888, for instance,
there was a shower of meteors. In
1865 another happened.
Caused by Pack of Meteors.
Computations showed that pack
of meteors was swinging around the
sun in a regular orbit. These me-
teors were supposed to be the re-
mains of a comet. But in '99, when
they were due again, there was only
a small shower. Calculations show
ed, however, that the pack had been
swerved from it's cuorse a little so
that only the edge of it struck the
earth. Next time ityprobably won't
touch us at ALL"
Are these meteors supposed to be
the solid matter of which the nucleus
of the comet is composed?"
1--WE think so, but we do not know.
We think the nucleus of a comet is
solid, although the tail is so trans
parent that the stars shine right
through it.
Some folks think nothing would
happen if the nucleus of comet
struck the earth. But I am of the
opinion a good deal would happen.
Meteors, you know are as solid as
iron, but there is no danger from Hal
ley's comet, for although its tail is
likely to sweep us, It itself passes
beneath us a good many million
miles.
, Where They Originate.
Where do comets come from ORR
ginally?"
I'VE do not know. We think they
come in from outer space. They are
drawn in by the attraction of the sun.
They swing around it in a parabola
and shoot away out of our solar sys-
tenn, that is, unless they happen to be
caught by the gravity of one of the
larger planets and diverted so much
that they become a permanent part
of this system.
But most of this is pure theory.
Comet A and Halley's comet thus far
have pretty well upset our notions.
When Halleys comet was first OBJ
served last fall it was not shining
with it's own light 1t shone merely
with the reflected light of the sun.
Then just before it went behind the
sun some sort of activity set up in it
and soon it began to shine with it's
own light. This activity, we think,
will increase continually until it
passes it's perihelion. Comet A, too,
appeared to change greatly as it
neared the sun. So really we can
not say just what Halley's comet is
going to do in the next two weeks"

BARNARD KNOCKS
HALLEY'S COMET

Halley's comet, that great mystic
rious luminary of the heavens, which
has been "touted" ito speak in low,
earthly terms), for now these many
is not so much after all. 1t
might have been great once, but the
chances are that it will prove dis
appointment when 1t gets clearly
within the range of vision in another
week or so. These new and sur
prising ideas were made public today,
april 81 by Prof. E. E. Barnard Of
the Yerkes observatory, Williams
Bay, Wis. The professor, ranked as
one of the foremost comet scholars
of the day, Furthermore declared that
comet A of 1910 and Halleys comet
had upset all our theories about the
composition and peculiar actions Of
comets tails.
Will Renew Observations.
The astronomical scholar is at pre-
sent engaged in preparations for re-
newed observations of Halley's comet.
which he says is due to reappear in
the morning sky from behind the sun
about a week from today.
1t is doubtful, however, according
to the professor, whether the wander
er win be visible to the naked eye
until it reaches It's perihelion or
point nearest the sun about April
20.
A striking feature of the profess
sor's talk was story of how comets
are supposed to be dragged into our
solar system from outer space. Most
of them, it seems, dash right in and
turn around the sun and dash right
out again. Others, however, are Ii
terally captured by the planet Jupiter,
which acts as the policeman of the
system. In this event they whirl
around the sun until they are quite
used up and there remains only a
whirling flock of ironlike meteorites
some of which occasionally hit the
earth. OF this class of captured CO.
NETS is Halleys which, as far as can
be found out, is less brilliant each
time it reappears.

met" said Prof. Barnard, frankly. "Of
course, it may develop as it nears
the sun and surprise us by doing some
marvellous things, but you never can
tell. Up to date it is neither as
bright nor is its tail as long as we
had hoped for. You see, in previous
reports of it we were led to believe
that it was really a great comet. Now
it may have been and probably was
when it shone down on the English
channel as the boats of William the
Conqueror crossed over, but since
then it has been losing power
"How does this come. about?" the
professor was asked.
In answer he drew a box of photo
graphic plates toward him. Hold
ing them up before lamp he showed
how waving lines of light shoot out
from the nucleus of the comet and
stream behind it in the form of a
tail.

Sometimese these tails are straight,
sometimes they are spiral, sometimes
they are curved. Occasionally part
of the tail will break off and float
away in space as photographs taken
successfully a few hours apart show.

KIDNEY MISERY AND
 BACKACHE WILL VANISH
A Few Doses Make the Kid neys Act Fine and End
 Bladder Trouble

No man or woman here whose kid neys are out-of-order, or who suffers from bachache or bladder misery, can afford to leave Pape's Diuretic untried.

 Uncomfortable urination (especially at night), smarting, discolored water and all bladder misery ends.
 The moment you suspect the slightest kidney or bladder disorder, or feel rheumatism pains, don't continue to be miserable or worried, but get fifty. cent treatment of Pape's Diuretic from your druggist and start taking as di rected, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine, at any price, made anywhere else in the world, which is and prompt cure.
 This unusual preparation goes direct to the cause of trouble, distributing its cleansing, healing and vitalizing infu. ence directly upon the organs and glands affected and completes the cure before you realize it.
 A few days treatment of Pape's Diu- rectic means clean, healthy, active kid neys, bladder and urinary organs-and you feel fine.
 Your physician, pharmacist, banker or any mercantile agency will tell you that Pape, Thompson & Pape, of Gin cinnati, is large and responsible medi- cine concern, thoroughly worthy of your confidence.
 Accept only Pape's Diuretic-ffty- cent treatment-from any drug store anywhere in the world.

BANNERS ID FIGHT
 RAILROADS
California League Calls on Interstate Commission
 to Intercede

SAN FRANCISCO, January 14.-The Gamers League of California unani- mously adopted resolutions at the meet ing today urging the state board of rail road commissioners to file complaint with the interstate commerce commis. sion against freight rates as fixed by the trans. s.continental roads in 1909.
 The sense of the convention was that rates are entirely unjust and unreason- able.
 The measure now before congress looking to the establishment of feder- al line of steamships to operate between Pacific coast ports and Panama in con junction with the Panama railroad and federal steamship line on the Atlantic coast was endorsed.
 A committee of nine was named on reorganization. If, by the time the committee reports, the railroads have not receded in their stand on freight rates, another meeting of the league will be called with the object of devis- ing some means of proceeding to a successful end in the fight.

NEW ROUTE SURVEY FOR RANDOLPH
 SYSTEM
Said New Line Will Be Built Along San Pedro to Tap
 Rich Mining Lands

BENSON, January 14.-J. S. Barlow, assistant chief engineer for the Ran dolph systems, was in town Saturday, having arrived from the west. It was learned that it was his intention to leave for Redington down the San Ped To river to visit the camp of the sur veying crew which has now reached that point on its way to Benson. It is un- derstood that the survey party consists of about twenty men and full equip ment for surveying.
 While nothing definite could be learn. ed, considerable importance can be at taehed to the visit of Engineer Barlow and still more so as it is understood that the survey now being made is what is called the "location' survey.
 The first survey made by the railroad companies is what is called the "pre- liminaryp survey, and consists of a rough draft of the route contemplated, the survey showing nothing but straight lines and angles. If the route is not considered no further work is done. If the company decides to build then another surveying party is placed in
 
 the "location survey and consists of establishing the route permanently, surveying all route permanently, sur veying all cuts. So with this work now being done, the long talked of road up the river from Winkleman would soon be reality.
 This means much to this section, as it will bring a volume of business from the Ray-Kelvin country to this point and be what the residents and compan- ies of that district have waited for, an opportunity to be in touch with. the main arteries of the south, so that all shipping can be made direct from the east or west, thereby saving time and expense.
 Additional railroad news of impor- tance was gleaned the last few days regarding changes on the Fl PasO X Southwestern railroad. It is under stood that in the very near future ar engagements that have been under way for some time have been perfected whereby all the Rock Island freight will come over the F.. P & s. w. lines from Fl Paso to Benson and that about the same time the Rock Island flyer, the fast train from Chicago to Los An. geles, will be brought over the right of-way of the Fl Paso & Southwestern from Fl Paso to Benson.
 With these things certain it is safe to surmise that with this additional and heavy traffic the Fl Paso road will in- stall a block signal system between Fl Paso and Benson. It will also mean that additional yard room will have to be provided.
