Walla about GIL O'Clock according to
astronomers.
The news that Halley's comet will
be seen only on the Pacific coast has
not hitherto been published, although
the fact has been known for some
time to the astronomers of the world,
many of whom may come west to see
the great spectacle.
Astronomers Cromelin and Crowell
of the Royal observatory at Greenwich
have probably made the most exhaust
i've researches into the history of the
comet" states Professor Burkhalter
! According to the computations, Hal
ley's comet will reach the descending
node on May IS, 1910, when it will be
in a direct line between the orbits Of
the earth and the sun, and it so hap
pens that the earth will reach that
particular point of it's orbit about the
same time. SHOULD the calculations of
| the astronomers prove to be rigidly
exact. the comet will pass directly be-
tween the earth and the sun between

| Assuming that it will happen dur

eastern Asia and western North
America The sun will have set in the
eastern part of the United States, and
the comet will be therefore invisible
! to all parts of the country on that
J side Of the Rocky mountains. Thus we
have on the western edgs of the con-
| tinent an opportunity of observing
this transit that is absolutely unique
! and without precedent in the history
of the comet
1.-The comet is near the calculated
position at the present time, and there
is no reason for believing the work of
| Cowell and Cromelin will need much
| or any revision. So we can believe
I that the predictions of the coming
phenomenon will be fulfilled.

The scientific exposition OF PROBES

fact that boys carry in their pockets
a remarkable assortment of articles
including pieces Of string, bits OF

objects a detrimental effect upon his

"A boy collects almost everything
following the instinct of proprietorship
and an idea that he will use the thinSe

Professor Hoben. 1.-THE small fiat
usually has no provision for these
things, and thus the boy has no chance
to exercise his instincts in these di

for a dynamometer. And they're not
wanting it for themselves alone. They

The University has had this idyna-

done with it here has attracted at
tention in many parts Of the United
States. The dynamometer is a-well,
it tells how many pounds of pulp is
necessary to haul a wagon or car
riage. Many experiments have been
made here to learn the pull required
by wagons with narrow tires and those
with wide tires, and the pull. or draft,
required on various kinds OF roads.
