ly deprived Europe of its reason.
On its nearest approach to the sun
on this trip It will be about 10000
600 miles from that orb, nearer than
the planet Venus; but at "aphelion"
1t will be thirty-fiye times the earth's
93,000.000 miles from the sun, and
500, O00,0 900 miles farther than Nep-
tune. the most distant known planet
of our system. But so immense Is
the universe that Halley's comet
makes no approach to the regions OF
the fixed stars; II 1t did, its period
would be heightened from seveyy-
FIVE years to 20,OOO,0OO. stu, at its
farthest from the sun, the cold would
possibly even liquify air; while at its
nearest the suns heat must be sufii-
of life. II is only incidentally that,
In making its dash for the sun, the
comet comes within not less than
100000 miles of the earth, and
Its nearest possible approach would
be at point G,00O,0 900 miles distant,
more than twenty-five times the dis
lance of the moon.
II the mind is any at fault in
grasping the immensely of space
through which Halley's comet ira
wells between its visits to the earth
what about Donati's comet which
returns one In about two millen-
NUNS, and may be looked for again
about the year 1858. Halley's comet
seems a frequent visitor when com
pared with such long absent mem
beis of the solar family. For II must
be remembered that all periodical
comets, returning at regular inter.
walls, just as truly belong to the SOL
ar system as Jupiter, Venus. the
moon or the earth. For 1t is the
suns attraction which dominates
them all, no matter how far they
may wander and how long they may
disappear.
Donati's comet travels at the sans
rate of speed as does Halley's. still,
with all of the, distance 1t travels.
and which makes the orbit of Hal
leys comet seem a mere round-the-
block trot, 1t is always within the
influence of our sun and must come
back at some time.

II the rest of the world has been
so well favored with things comet
as has Hawaii they are lucky. The
comet has been quite plainly in sight
for over week during the early
morning hours, in fact so early that
quite number still scoff at state
ments made by those who have seen
the beautiful sight in the eastern
sky.
Very few are now living who re-
call seeing Halley's comet in 1885,
the date of the last visit of this fam
ing sword. 1t IS reported that there
are few old IIawaiians here in the
islands who claim that they can
family remember the last visit OF
the comet, and they state that there
was a small shower of stones on one
of the days that the comet was in
the heavens.
However 1t Is a mystery to all
concerned and all that can be said Is
mostly guess work. That has been
established by the different versions
that have been handed down by the
astronomers all over the world
The heads of comets differ, much
In brightness and in actual size. That
of the great comet of 1911 measured
200, 900 miles in diameter. Holmes
comet In 1892 displayed diameter
of 100000 miles. II will aid to the
comprehension of such figures To re-
call that the diameter of the earth
sun SEQ, 900 miles. There are comets
( then whose heads even surpass the
sun in size. The average naked eye
comet is to be thought of as having
diameter of 100000 miles. and to
this class Halley's comet is to be
assigned while telescope comets
probably average 10000 miles. 1t
viii be seen then that comets head
Is no inconsiderable object, one, In
fact, to be avoided; Its tail Is usu
ally much more conspicuous though
much less substantial affair.
II seems to he almost superfuous
to deal in any figures In connection
with the comet still they are always
interesting from the fact Of their
magnitude and also from the fact
that the comet will cross the earth's
orbit on its way around the sun.
From re ords handed down in re-
gard to this comets last visit II is
stated that It's tail swept across one
third of the heavens. This would
mean length of 60 degrees. equal
to line OF 120 full moons. No Won

GREAT OFFICE BUILDING
BY SOUTHERN MEN

The government experiments and the
experiences Of Individual farmers which
are dealt with in these bulletins should
prove of unusual interest To planters
and farm land owners OF the South
Atlantic States since 1t is declared
that in a great many sections OF this
territory where land is less productive
than In more favored portions of the
Southeast. the lack Of fertility Is in a
large measure due 10 the aeidity Of the
soil. Experiments by the federal and
State Departments of Agriculture have
developed the fact that this can best
be corrected by the application of lime
and the growing of leguminous plants.
Lands which had been abandoned as
practically worthless have been
brought TO a high state of productive
ness in this manner as pointed oHt in
the state and government publications
which may be had for the asking.
Lime is not used in place OF ma
nure or commercial fertilizers. its use
being entirely supplementary, and one
of its chief advantages being the pow
er which it gives soil to retain the
manure or fertilizer applied To 1t.
There are large deposits OF lime
rock in practically every section OF
the Southeast and its use for agricui
tural purpose has been the basis OF
the great fertility OF the famous Blue
Grass Region of Kentucky, the Great
Valley of Virginia, the fertile country
Of Tennessee and Northern Alabama
