ROOT DETERMINED-Ther is sus-
picion In Washington that the opposition
TO Senator Hinman as Republican leader
in the New York State Senate is largely
due to misapprehension of Senator Roofs
attitude and complete failure TO realize
that, having gone into this fight, Mr.. Root
VIII stay in 1t to the bitter end. If Mr..
Hlnman Is beaten the fight will not stop
tfere, but will be carried into the district
OF every Senator who voted against him.
Mr.. Root confesses to reluctance 20 en-
ter the political arena, but he has over
come that reluctance and has undertaken
the fight. and having gone SO far nothing
Will induce him to retreat Neither will
he and his associates IN Washington be
frightened by predictions OF the dire re-
suits which VIII follow fight on the old
flatt-Odell machine The possibility of
dire results was carefully weighed before
the light was begun. and it was decided
tnat the contest must be made. Nothing
can now prevent it. 1t is q fight TO the
finish, and the best man will win sooner
or later. The "Old Guard cannot afford to
minimize the strength of the opposing
forces. There is Elihu Root, junior mem
Der of the United States Senate from New
York. He is backed by the solid New York
backed by the federal administration, in
Guiding William II. Taft and Frank II
Hitchcock. And in the state itself there is
the great following OF Charles f. Hughes
This IS what the "Old Guard Is fighting
and. as a prominent New York Republican
remarked to-day. quoting the Frenchman's
comment on the charge OF the Light
Brigade: IT is ma snincent, but It Is not
war"
THE POLITICAL SITUATION-Thers Is
no disposition here to minimize the gravity
of the situation in the Empire State II Is
recognized to be one full OF tribulations and
danger and 1t is fully realized that it may
work serious injury TO tho party. On the
other hand, there Is the firmest conviction
that 1t is a situation which must be met
squarely and without equivocation. 1t is felt
that the higher ideals of Governor Hughes
have won the voters and that anything in
the nature of a reputation of those ideals
means Republican defeat It is believed
that the interest and support of the Coy
ernor are needed in the coming campaign
even though he will not be candidate
There must be no temporizinG with the
powers of evil, as one of the leaders puts
1t. 1t IS the calm deliberation on this situa-
ton and the mature decisions reached
which make the New Workers In Washing
ton determined to accept no compromise.

Seeing Certificate.

Arthur Aycrigg, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
A Aycrigg, died Saturday at the Clarkson
Memorial hospital following a difficult
surgical operation for mastoid growths. He
was 10 years of age. His death follows

who died recently from the same cause.
Particularly pathetic is the fact that
young Aycrigg received his diploma Of
graduation from the high school but a short
time before he relapsed into unconscious
ness. The certificate was sent TO his room
in the hospital and he smiled as he viewed
it, realizing that he was really a graduate
of the high school
The Aycrigg family had prepared to re-
move to Passaic N. j., at the close of
the school term ana the body of the boy
will be sent there for interment Besides

the United States has SIS schools which
give instruction IN agriculture. These in
clude the purely technical colleges and
other institutions public and private where
the working OF the soil and the care of
the farm are taught as a part OF the sys-

October. 1908.
Colleges which give instruction In agri-
culture TO white students number fifty
seven, and privately endowed colleges OF
this type number twenty-four. Secondary
schools giving agriculture instruction TO
negroes and Indians are forty-six and ele-
mentary schools are twenty. The remainder
of the institutions given in the list are high
schools. normal schools and others, In

The Comet and Its Nature

had a fine view OF the comet on Friday
night. May 90 from q train window on the
prairies OF western Texas. Its briliance
and length OF tail were however, greatly
dimmed by reflecting light from the moon
and the earth.
Some Of the II eories advanced by anna
teur astronomers are amuslngly absurd
In a lecture given before a literary club
at Los Angeles last winter II was asserted
by the lecturer that Halley's comet would
be seen for only a few moments on May
H. when II would suddenly swish around
the sun" An FL Paso scientist says, in
the FL Paso Morning Times Of May q. that
the comet will do greatest damage to the
earth when passing Mars when It will
absorb the iron reflected 10 the earth by
the sun from Mars, which Is an iron
planet"
From all that l have seen, heard and
read since writing the article appearing in
the Sunday Bee some time since, / have
had no occasion to change my views as
TO the composition OF the comet. am not
an astronomer, but am merely a student
OF chemistry in which study have given
most attention to the action of gases ex-
pansion, diffusion, etc, under various tenn.
peratures and pressure.
Every celestial body must have an atmo-
sphere surrounding 1t, the more dense the
greater the mass OF the body and the
higher its temperature. The suns atmos-
phere must be extremely dense at the sur
face of the body, consisting. as 1t does, Of
gases heavier than any known in the nat
ural state upon the earth, gaseous carbon,
iron, etc. Beyond and above these incan-
descent gases comes the lighter gases
which should extend many hundreds of
thousands and perhaps millions Of miles in
every direction from the sun.
Let us suppose that this comet, in it's
rapid passage around the sun grazes the
outer envelope of the SUMS atmosphere OF
sufficient density to generate heat in the
resulting friction. This alone without con-
sidering the direct radiant heat of the sun,
or the electrical activity. would be suf-
ficient to produce a renewal OF the hea
and light activity Of the comet.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-06-06

Diffusion OF gases is governed largely
by pressure, temperature and air currents,
and the more so In case Of gases Of greatly
differing atomic weight.
Expansion OF gases is governed by -four
things, volume OF gas. pressure, space for
expansion and attraction OF the nucleus IN
proportion TO its mass. h..
All space is filled with gas of inoslculable
volume and of varying density. Between
each two heavenly bodies ls point where
there exists the uniform atmospheric
density OF space. Approaching each body
the density becomes increasingly greater
In direct proportion to the mass of the
body, assuming that there is no imme-
diately surrounding atmosphere OF heavier
gas. In the latter case there must be
added the increased density produced by
the weight and volume Of this lower
strata.
1t is interesting to speculate on some of
the phenomena of nature. For instance,
how far would a meteor or chunk OF iron
of ten pounds in weight, entering the
earth's atmosphere at very low tempera-
ture, have TO travel before reaching the
point Of incandescence. In this one cannot
figure on the heat energy produced in a
body of stated size and weight, travelling
at a stated speed per second and with a
definite air pressure. The meteor enters
the earth's atmosphere at an extremely
attenuated pressure. gradually increasing
as the surface Of the earth is approached,
From the. action Of meteons and from the
laws governing expansion of gases, 1t seems
certain that instead of an atmosphere of
twenty-five to fifty miles depth surround
ing the earth, It must be many thousands
Of miles in depth.
We see the meteor only after II ap-
proaches a state OF incandescence, and be-
tween this and dissolution it travels hun
dreds Of miles In a comparatively dense
atmosphere. How much greater must have
been its course of travel since first entering
the rarified outer air and raising the tenn
perature from perhaps zero to a distinctly
| )erceptible white heat.
