ABOUT HALEY COMET
Astronomers Differ AS to Effect on
Earth, But Nearly All Agree That
We Will Not Suffer.

The opinion of the WE'LL known
French astronomer, Camille Flammar-
ion, that there is possible danger in
the approach of the HALEY com 1t
which may gravely affect the earth on
May Is, is not shared by all astrono-
mers.
M. Bigourdan, a member Of the
French Academy of Sciences, and one
of the directors of the observatory in
Paris, thus answers question put
to him on the subject: 1t is possible
that the gaseous atmosphere of the
comet will touch us when it passes,
but we shall be no more upset than
we were in 1919 and 1861"
NJ Baillaud, another director OF the
Paris observatory, says: I'VE shall
scarcely perceive the passage of the
earth through the comets tail. The
gases that form the tail are so rare
fed and are spread over such great
distances thatJit is possible II there
be any shock between the two atmos.
pheres, the comet will be the loser.
NJ. Deslandres, of the Modern OBJ.
servatory, cites previous experiences
of the earth with comets and says
that according to exact calculations
the earth was touched by the tails OF
different comets in the eighteenth
century. The chronic1ers of the time
note the prevalence of fear. More re.
Gently, says M. Deslandres, comet
almost touched the surface of Jupiter
but apparently there was no perturba
ton.
Probably there will be seen
shower of shooting stars in the upper
regions of the sky, he says. 1T seems
that the tails of certain comets, per
haps when they are on the decline
break up and form meteors which fol
low their directions and have the
same orbit as the original comet"

WHIPS 100 BOYS
But the 1o1st BaIks and, Throwing
Professor to Floor, Sits
On Him.

Washington, Pa, Feb. 5.-Principal
W. d. Hathaway, of the Clark school
in the Seventh ward, this city, is be-
lieved to be the champion boy-troun-
Ger of the world. Professor Hatha-
ways record: Boys trounced, 100;
boys untrounced, /; time consumed,
2 hours, 30 minutes; switches worn
out, %.
All that prevented Principal Hatha-
away from having a clear record, 50
to speak, was the fact that when he
reached the one hundred and first sub
ject of the trounce-fest he was almost
tuckered out and the subject, a IL
year-old husky, threw the principal
gently to the floor and sat upon him.
Early in the week Professor Hatha-
way notified the pupils that there
must be no more snowballing on the
school premises. Wednesday and
Thursday morning the order was dis
regarded. AT noon yesterday the
principal supplied himself with a
bundle of switches and in the after
noon assembled the snowballers and
the greatest exhibition of switch
welding in the history of corporal
punishment was on.
Some of the boys were inclined to
take the matter as a joke, but when
Principal Hathaway's switches cleay-
ed the air, especially in the earlier
minutes of his notwithstanding go, the
amusement in the situation rapidly
diminished.
Aside from a disagreeable muscular
soreness in his right arm, the prinef
pal was reported as coming out of the
dispute in excellent form.
