COMETS NEW TAIL.
Astronomers Agree That the New
APpendage Is 40 Degrees Lonq.


Forty degrees of newborn tail for
the comet and doubling of its lumi-
mostly, owing TO flaming hydrocarbon
gas, were reported by the astronomers
at Williams Bay observatory, after
the spectrographic negatives had been
developed. Prof. K. b. Frost, director
or the observatory, announced the re-
suits OF the computations.
-Four OF us, after independent calcu-
lations, agree that the new tail OF the
comet Is 40 degrees long" he said.
Inc tall was visible long after the
comet had set. The eclipse OF the
moon helped greatly in the observa-
lions. Observations by the hand spec
troscope showed carbon bands In the
mead OF the comet These were con-
nrmed by the development of the
negatives made with the 12-inch tele-
scope. The internal activity Of the
comet Is in full blast. 1t Is making
gas at terrific rate"
Prof. Frost said he did not expect to
see the old tail in the east.
The old tail must disappear" he
added. When detached from its
source IL can only condense or fade
away, as the end OF an active tail
always does"
Fine weather for observing pre-
vailed throughout the most of the
night at Williams Bay, although 1t
was cloudy and rainy over Chicago.
During the total eclipse. the moon
presented the appearance OF dull
reddish disc. This, according to Prof.
E. E. Barnard. of Yerkes observatory.
was due to the red rays of the solar
spectrum. which had the property Of
bending inward.

RECREATiON.
MICHIGAN

While some do not work enough to
get the proper amount of physical ex-
ercise, there are others who wear
themselves out by too close applica-
tion to their labors. A certain amount
of rest is needed by every one. Men
tai labor will tire the body as well as
the mind. There is manual labor that
requires close mental application,
while there is some that requires no
appreciable mental strain. Every one
should do some work of some kind
And every one Is in need OF some rest
or recreation other than sleep. Idle
ness is far from being a rest, though
there are instances when perfect
idleness may be required. Change OF
occupation brings a desired rest. IL
your work is manual labor. seek men
tai recreation, music, reading, an en-
tertainment or a social hour. If your
work is chiefly mental. take some phys
teal exercise. Make use of a work
bench, ride, walk or work in garden.
II It comes in your reach, follow the
example of Gladstone or Lincoln and
swing an ak. but with discretion.
Everyone who can should cultivate a
habit of walking. One gets the fresh
air and variety of things seen re-
fresh ths mind. The observing person
cannot walk many blocks or far on q
countr. road without gaining some
good thought. Whatever your occupa-
ton, choose that for recreation which
calls into action a different set of
muscles and different field for
thought Change is the sauce that

and the officials at New York say
april and May are likely to be record
breakers in this respect. More than
1000 aliens arrived at Ellis Island the
other day, and still they come. The
circumstances will lead to fresh sug-
Eestions as to the desirability of re-
stricting immigration. But it cannot
be denied that the facts point to
strong belief abroad in general pros
perity here. immigration falls off
quickly when commercial and indus
