CONDENSED FACTS ABOUT HAL
LEY'S COMET.

A few facts presented in a condens
ed form may possibly interest the read
ers who wish to follow the course of
Haley comet in the heavens during
its present appearance.
The last perihelian passage occurred
on November 10Th, 1895. The pres
ent perihelion passage will occur on
April Goth, 1910.
At the end of February, Prof. Bar
nard, of Yerkes Observatory, estimat.
ed the tail to be 100000 miles long.
Just before perihelion passage the
tail will be at least that long and
possibly longer. The comet is fast
approaching its perihelion point, or
point nearest the sun, where, as we
Ihave said, it is due to arrive on April
Goth. During the months of Febru-
ary aud March, the earth and the
comet are racing on practical paral-
lei orbits, 100000 miles apart on
opposite sides of the sun.
The comet first crossed the earth's
orbit about March 10th at a point
where the earth will arrive at the mid
die Of next October, but far above
where the earth will be, so to speak,
for it will be soon 100000 miles
above the plane of the elliptic. In
April the comet will emerge from be-
hind the sun, and viii! become visible
to the naked eye in the eastern sky
before sunri>e.
On April 10th, when the comet will
swing around the sun, it will be 81
100000 miles away from the sun. It's
velocity will be 26 miles second.
The earth travels at about l9 miles
a second. On May End the comet will
traverse the orbit of Venus, some
100000 miles above the planet. In
other words, an astronomer on Venus
would find the comet far more i'm
pressive spectacle than terrestrial
astronomer. AS it rushes on, Halley's
comet will pass between the earth
and sun close to its ascending node.
On May 18th the earth will be about
100000 miles away from the nucleus
or head, as against 100000 miles in
1886. Moreover, on May Is the earth
will be enveloped in the comets tail
for few hours. A few days later
the comet will be visible in the west
ern sky after sunset with 10 deg. or
20 deg, splendor. After this it will
speed away from the solar system.
The last glimpse of it with the naked
eye will be obtained probably at the
end of June. 1t will not reappear for
seventy-fye years.-Scientific Amer

SIS Corn Prize

In connection with the rural school
boys corn exhibit conducted by Supt.
Seymour for this county, the Inde-
pendent will give cash prize of $25
to the boy receiving the highest score,
who shall be, on or before the 1st day
of July, "a memberof family subscrib

scription shall be paid in advance to
Dec. 3lst, 1910. In case of a tie be-
tween two or more, the prize will be
divided equally.
The Independent has no other con
dition to impose. The score will be
made by competent judges appoint
ed by the Superintendent, as in prev

do with the exhibition except to pay
the prize, a check for which has been
placed with the county superintend-
ent.

this week to many boys in the coun-

OF bee inspector, fire marshall anc
hotel inspector as though the creation
OF these offices added burden Of ex
pense to the state. As a matter ol
fact not a cent of appropriation is
made for any of these offices and the
three combined show clear profit tc
the state in fees collected over all ex.
penses of the offices, of thousands OF
| dollars.
The cry against these Offices is part
of very despicable campaign of mis-
representation. Take for example the
office Of bee Inspector. The average
voter does not care anything about
bee inspector. Therefore, if the stall
warts can deceive them into thinking
that such an Office has been created
at an expense to the state merely to
give someone a job, they are perfectly
willing to practice such deception.
Now this office was created a. the re-
quest of the bee men without one
cent of expense to the state. Some
careless heekeepers keep hives that
are infected with disease that the bees
spread abroad to infect the hives of
other keepers. The bee men who keep
their hives clean and free from disease
and furnish clean, pure article of
honey to the market, naturally object
ed to having their hives infected from
other sources. They asked the state
to protect them by naming one of their
number, who should have the power
upon request of any bee keeper, to in
spect a hive, and if it was found to be
diseased, to order it cleaned or de
stroyed. For such service the bee men
pay the inspector themselves.
That is all there is to the bugbear
about creating that new Office. 1t is
the same with number of others.
The state fire marshars Office likewise,
instead of being an expense to the
state, showed clear balance on June
1st last of more than $4,000 and this
without one cent of appropriation
from the state. The hotel inspector
comes under this head also, his reim-
bursement being in the shape of fees
that are not paid by the state.
Also tie game warden. The fees
collected in this office have netted the
state thousands of dollars in profits.
Will the stalwarts lop off these offices
which protect local interests and in
dustries in the state, which protect the
public. and which don cost the state
one cent?
1t would be very refreshing if some
of these stalwart newspapers would
feel quaIm of concience occasion
ally and tell just little of the truth
about these new state offices. Sioux

Grand Sight for Passengers on Steamer

of Flames Hundreds of Feet High
Blazed From Crater-Loss of Life Is

Mount Shishaldin, Alaska, on the
eastern end of Nnimak island, has
lighted its gigantic torch again, &C
cording to news brought to Seattle by
the steamer Montara, which has just
arrived from Nome.
The Montara first sighted the burn
ing mountain on the morning of the
9th, when the steamer neared Unimak
pass. The sea was turbulent, as if
disturbed by some seismic movement
clear column of fame hundreds of
feet high, without smoke, blazed from
the volcanoes crater.
After passing through Unimak pass,
Captain j. o. Firria turned the Mon
tara east SO as to pass along to the
south side of the island. When so
miles away from the volcano the Of
fcers of the ship could see through the
glasses that there was snow to within
few feet of the edge of the flames
and that torrents of water made by the
rapidly melting snow were tearing
channels in the steep sides of the
mountain.
Later in the day smoke began to
belch forth with the flames. The snow
became blackened from the deposit.
Aside from few Indian fishermen
the only men on Unimak island are
two lighthouse keepers at Scotch cape
The Lighthouse tender Armenia will
not bring news from them for a month
Mount Shishaldin is a snowcapped
mountain Of volcanic form, over 5000
feet high. On the other end of the
island is Pogromni mountain, which is
always in partial eruption. The Mon
tara saw no activity on Pogromni.
A cable dispatch from Valdez, Alaska,
says that a volcanic sand island has
arisen in the lagoon formed last year
when the Aieutian Tolcano Bogostof
was in eruption.
