Comet a Grand Spectacle

A remarkable series of photographs
of Halley's comet has been secured
under the direction of Prof. George
Ellery Hale at the Carnegie Observa-
tory, Mt. Wilson, Calf, during the
last few days. According to Director
Hale, these will be supplemented with
other views obtained while the wander
er is within hailing distance of the
earth. He estimates the comets tail
to be 100000 miles in length, and
declares the earth will pass through this
appendage on the generally accepted
date, May 18th, and two days later will
make its closest appearance to the
earth at a point 100000 miles
away. In view of the fact that the
light of stars beyond the comets tail is
not dimmed by the vaporous veil be-
tween them and the earth, it is not
probable that the gases composing the
tail are dense enough to penetrate our
atmosphere,

nsm as prinkinn Water.

The English administration at Gibral-
tar, where water is very scarce, col
leets dew by the following very sim
pie method A large pit is dug in the
earth and covered with dry wood or
straw, which in turn is covered either
with earth or with sheet iron. The
straw or wood serves as a heat in
sulator and effectually prevents the
conduction of heat from the ground to
the layer of earth or the sheet iron
above. Consequently this earth or
iron cools after sunset much more rap
idly than the ground so that its tenn
perature soon falls below the dew
point of the surrounding air; hence
dew is formed upon the iron or the
layer of earth in very large quantities.
The water thus obtained is drained off
into reservoirs and after Qualification
is used for drinking.-Scientific Amer

Alive Under an Avalanche.

Human beings occasionally live
through incredibly long imprisonments
after their dwellings have been over
whelmed by avalanches. On March
TO- 1855, avalanches buried the village
of Bergemoletto in the Italian Alps,
and on April % three women were dug
out alive from q stable in which they
had been immured for thirty-seven
days in the dark beneath the mass of
snow which lay forty-two feet higher
than the roof. With them had been
buried little boy. six goats, donkey
and some hens.
The child, the donkey and the fowls
soon died, but the goats helped the
women to survive, their milk supple
menting the thirty or forty cakes and
the pocketful of chestnuts upon which
they depended for food. Hope of find
ing the women alive had been aban-
doned when far in April the brother
of one had a dream in which she ap-
pealed to him for rescue.
The weather then at last made ex-
cavation possible, and the women were
restored to the world and presently to
health.-Chicago News.

Sheen as Land Cleaners.

In discussing the value Of sheep on
a country place their service as land
cleaners should not be ignored. They
like pasture grasses, but they seem to
like weeds and bushes even better for
browse. They will often clean up an
old field in year or two, so that what
was a tangle or unsightly weeds and
shrubs will appear smooth shaver
lawn. Angoras are simply wonders at
this sort of thing. but the common,
everyday sheep Of the ordinary breed
will do mighty good work If you con-
fine her to her job and put in enough
of her. Five years ago one small pas
ture of mine was a veritable chaparral
of thorn bushes and solidago l set
the ewes in it, and today it's as pretty
a bit Of sward as there is on the ranch
-bushless and NEEDLESS and thick
turfed.-Country Life In America.

An exchange contains this bit of in
teresting news which doubtless eman-
ated from the fertile brain of an editor
way down SOUTH" THE editor of a
Washington weekly, who is a hard
working man, is soon to retire from
active work and live at ease on the in
come derived from an invention he has
just perfected and which is truly won
derful. 1t consists OF an electric motor
fastened on the rump of a COW, the
electricity being generated by an arm
attached to her tail, which strains the
milk and hangs up the pail and strainer.
A small phonograph accompanies the
outfit and yells Sol every time she
moves. If she lifts her foot, a little
dingus slips over the condivus and the
photograph says Dammit If she
continues to kick, hinged arm catches
the milk stool and lams her on the
back till it loosens patch of hair as
big as a dustpan. A patent churn
goes with the outfit that works butter

another"

On Tuesday afternoon the House ad-
opted the railroad regulation bill as re-
ported by the committee Of the whole,
the final vote being 200 to 1876.
The bill prohibits a higher charge
for shorter than longer haul. This
clause was demanded by the inland
cities and is applicable to Spokane.
When the bill came up Mann OF
Illinois offered an amendment re-estab-
fishing the clause permitting mergers
under certain conditions. The amend
ment was defeated 168 to 100.
AS a result of the conferences OF the
last three days, regular republican
leaders OF the Senate feel satisfied that
they have enough votes to kill of all
long and short haul amendments to the
interstate commerce bill, and an
nounce that this feature OF the existing
law will not be changed.

PRESIDENT oFtENDS WOMEN
Colorado Women Protest and Offer Proof
That President Got Off Wrong

Anent the fears expressed by Presi-
dent Taft, that if women were granted
the ballot only the less desirable"
women will vote, the following state
ments made by Mrs. Sarah Platt
Decker, chairman OF the board of char
tiles and corrections of Colorado, and
by Governor Shafroth of Colorado, may
prove of interest to the people who will
be asked to vote on extending the
franchise to women at the next general
election:
Mrs. Decker says:
"Of the 10000 women who voted
in Denver at the last election, only
400 could be connected with any bad
element. In the best residence dis
tricts women cast SIS per cent of the
vote, while in the 'slum' districts they
cast only per cent. Not only do the
women OF Colorado vote in large num-
bers, varying from 70 to 80 per cent
but the vote of the women increases
the vote of the men. In all the SUI
frage states a larger vote is recorded on
the part of the men after women vote,
because women vote in such large
numbers as to put the men on their
mettle not to be outdone. The I'M
fortunate women do not wish to regis
ter their names. They do not wish to
be known. Their vote is an insignifi-
cant factor. The mothers of Colorado,
the professional and business women
and the working women are the ones
who go to the polls"
Governor Shafroth has written TO the
leaders of the suffrage movement in
Washington, contrasting the vote OF
Colorado with that of Washington to
prove that women vote in large num-
bers. He writes:
In proportion to the number OF
women in the suffrage states as many
vote as men. Contrast the vote in the
four equal suffrage states with that OF
other states of equal populati on and it
becomes apparent that they do vote in
as large proportion, according to their
numbers, as men. In 1900 Colorado
population was 539,700 and Washing
toms 518, 1903, but the vote Of Colorado
was more than double that of Wash
ington, being 221,336, while in the
latter state it was 1O7,524. In 1904
Colorado's vote was 246, 1898, Washing
toms 1878. In 1908 Colorado's
vote was 263,877, and Washington's
183,87o. 1t is unfortunate that all the
counties of Colorado do not tabulate
the male and female vote, but in Den
yer the vote is separated. In the city
of Denver there were registered in
1908, Al, $50 men, Of whom 36,891
voted, and $500 women, of whom
2o,O85 voted"
