FIRST VISIT FROM
SKY WANDERER
COMET A, 1910" 10 BELIEVED TO
sE A CELESTIAL TRAMP-As.
TRoNoMERs IN ALL PARTS or
COUNTRY WATCH IT CLOSELY
CAUSES SENSATION.

The unknown comet which has sud.
denly appeared In the heavens without
herald or warning from Astronomical
authorities, has caused a sensation
among scientists throughout the coun.
try and astronomers-exper and nov
ices-are busy training their instru-
ments on IT, attempting to determine
it's course and endeavoring to identify
| 1t as one OF the numerous comets
which have been discovered from time
to time and whose orbits have been
calculated and set down for the en-
lightenment Of future generations.
The opinion 10 growing among SCI
entists that the visitor is a celestial
tramp, which has come into view of
the earth from space where it has
f1oated around since the beginning OF
the universe without ever having come
close enough to the earth to be seen
since scientists began to observe the
heavens. At least nobody has identi-
fled 1t as a known comet and If it
has ever been observed previously in
the history Of the world and it's char
acteristics chronicled, The observations
have been written in some obscure
place where they have not been dis
covered by modern scientists.
No astronomical instruments are
necessary to observe the comet. One
may climb up on the hill any evening
a half hour or so after the sun has
set and see the strange visitor, which
glows like pale torch of fire in the
heavens, a little above the point at
which the sun goes down. 1t remains
bright for a half or three quarters of
an hour and then floats into space
beyond the range Of vision. IL the
new comet were to remain above the
horizon for less than an hour longer
than II does, it would be an object so
conspicuous than anybody happening
to look in it's direction would be at
tracted by it's brilliancy. The condi-
tons have been very favorable in Far
go for observing the comet and many
people have taken the opportunity of
seeing it.
In the course of a week or SO, the
comet may move eastward sufficiently
away from the sun and above the hori-
zon to be still more conspicuous, but
1t may on the other hand move in
the other direction and be lost to view
entirely. Its course cannot yet be de-
ternined. A local man, who is
close student of astronomy, says that
he expects that with a few more OBJ
servations, he will be able to tell. what
its course is, and from what direction it
has come, and when those facts are
determined 1t will be easier to deter
mine whether it has ever been OBJ
served before.

Never Seen Before.

Never Seen Before.
The theory of astronomers at pres
ent is that the orbit of the new comet
is of such great dimensions that 1t has
heretofore never in the history of man
approached near enough 10 the sun and
the earth to be observed, or, If 1t did
approach the earth heretofore, it was
before man learned to study the heav-
ems and their wonders.
One fact over which there was some
controversy among those now versed
in astronomy Is that the newly OBJ
served comet Is not Halley's famous
comet which VIII approach near enough
to the earth to be observed about the
middle of May this year Many astrono-
mers have determined the orbit of Hal
leys comet and they agree so closely
as to be practically the same in their
results. According to the observations,
Halley's comet is now in right ascen-
sion hour and Fl minutes and in de-
clination deg, north Of the equinoxial
circle, which position Is in the zodiacal
constellation Pisces, near the boundary
between that and the constellation
Aries, which 1t has only recently left,
and therefore that 1t now crosses the
meridian directly to the south of us
at $3.50 p. m. at an altitude of more
than one half the distance between the
southern horizon and the zenith. II
is still far distant from the sun and
the earth (although steadily approach
ing them) and is quite small.
On the other hand, the new comet

so deg, nearly one-half the open space
of the heavens, to the westward OF the
position of HalIey's comet and nearly
twice as far to the south OF the equi-
noctial circle as Halley's is to the north
of it. Moreover, when Haley's comet
is on the meridian. or highest in The
heavens, toward the south at 5:3$ %.
m. and is slowly moving westward
The new comet is low down toward the
horizon in the southwest and appears
to be moving eastward
1t is believed by some astronomers
that the new comet has come up out
of space from below the sun around
which 1t is moving in very elongated
orbit, having a small 'perihelion dis
tance," or near approach to the sun
which would account for its sudden APP
pearance and briIIiance, and that IL
may not appear much farther away from
the sun and become more conspicuous
and that 1t has quite recently passed It's
"perihelion" or point. of nearest APP
proach to the sun and, therefore, that
| its prominence may be short lived.
The new comet win give people o
good idea OF how Halley's famous
celestial body will appear when II
comes near enough to be observed
about May 20. Halley's comet will

of the Great White Chief" as he was referred to by more than one of the
 orators who preceded him. It was ex-
 interesting to get off his mind, and he
 did. The burden of his song was that disgraceful methods had been resorted
 to in the accomplishment of his defeat
 that money and liquors had been used
 ad libitum, and that the will of the people of the state had been thwarted. In this connection 1t might as well be
 stated now as at any other time that no
 man has dared to make any specific
 charge as to the use of money in this
 contest. The Peoples Choice inti-
 mated it in general terms, and it may be that the legislature will call on him for the proof As to the use of liquors,
 reference to such methods by the defeat ed candidate is but case of the pot call ing the kettle black. Liquors were freely used by all the candidates, no doubt, and | since the contest has been settled &Gov- | ernor Noel has seen fit 10 call attention of the legislature in a special message to

Washington, February 2S.-tSpeclal.)- J. When Congress met in extra session, March i5 last year, members in whose districts labor unions are strong lost no time introducing bills to amend the Sher-
 man antitrust law so that it could not be applied to a labor organization; the United States supreme court, in the Dan bury hat case holding that the law ap- piled to labor organizations.
 Then a number of bills were introduced to exempt labor organizations from the application of injunctons, to say nothing Of the many bills to amend the eight-hour law, so as to have it apply to all labor engaged on government work done under private contract. There was much talk at the time by the authors of these labor measures, but 1t gradually died out, and has just been revived.
 The fight for the enactment of a law to free labor organizations from the op- eration on injunctions and the Sherman antitrust law will open up on the floor of the House when the committee on in terstate and foreign commerce reports the administration bill amendatory of the interstate commerce act and when the judiciary committee reports bill to amend the Sherman antitrust law as recommended by the President. Then the members, who are looking for favors from labor organizations, will get busy and burden the Congressional Record with speeches laudatory of labor The record of the House shows that when the supply bills are well under way the members who make grand stand play" for the labor vote get anxious and lose no opportunity to let the country know how mitch they think Of organized labor Within the next two months labor speeches for campaign purposes will be the order of the day.
