ReoseveIt,s Second Letter

Christiania, May 6.--My Dear Mr..
Hanna: Not having heard from Won
in answer to my last letter. I gave a
sitting to Mr.. Vigeland when I reached
Christiania. But, my dear Mr. Hanna,
do wish that you and the others
interested in this movement would
adopt my suggestion before it is too
late. Don't have it a statue of me /:
have it statue of a cowboy or a pio-
neer farmer. This will be far more
typical OF North Dakota, and / am
sure in the end will be far more sat
isfactory, and this apart from my firm
belief that no man should ever have n
statue until he has been dead some
little time. Mr.. Vigeland, as l under
stand 1t, is making a cowboy statue
anyhow. Now, all you have to do is to
make slight change in the face, and
keep 1t as the statue of typical North
Dakota cowboy of the type that repre-
sented the first thrush of the CATTLE
men into the Dakota country: the
cowboy, next to the pioneer farmer.
was the typical figure of the frontier
days in our west, the west that YOU

Always yours, Theodore Roosevelt.

Washington, d. c., June ITO The
Forum: / have received many letters
asking me in regard to the correspond

dent Roosevelt and myself in reference
to the statue which it is proposed to
erect to him in North Dakota. AS
Colonel Roosevelt has given out to the
press part of the contents of the let
ters which passed between us. / feel
thats am at liberty to give both my
letters to him and the letters which /
received from him to YOU for publica-
ton, as | know they will be of interest
to the people of North Dakota.
The idea of erecting the statue to
Mr.. Roosevelt originated some two or
three years ago among the people in
North Dakota, and DR.. H. o. Fielde of
Abercrombie deserves the credit for
pushing this matter and getting it un-
der Roadway.

My Dear Sir: l write you in refer.

tial body. Only three bodies can trans.
it the face of the sun-namely, the
moon, thus causing an eclipse of the
sun, and the inner planets Mercury
and Venus. The last transit OF Mer-
curry occurred in November, 1907. The
last transit of Venus was observed
Dec. 6, 1882. and the next will be seen
June 8, 2004, this entire century pass
ing without that most interesting and
significant phenomenon. But the head
OF the comet will transit the face of
the sun on the 18th of May.
Where the Transit May Be Seen.
This is made possible by a remark
able combination of circumstances. For
four months the comet has been north
of the sun. On the very day that it
passes it in going back from the morn
ing to the evening sky it also passes
south of the sun. This brings it d.
rectly across the suns face. Professor
See says that this will take place be-
tween p. m. and Ia. M, eastern time.
Professor Pickering names p. M,
Astronomy says that II 10 p. M. east
ern time. is the exact middle of the
transit, but that it lasts in its en-
tirety from 1870 p. m. to 11:4S p. m.
The center of the comets head viii
pass about four or five minutes Of arc
above the center Of the suns disk, the
diameter of the entire disk being thirty
minutes.
Now it is manifest that, vastly i'm
portant as this event is it will be en-
tirely invisible to a large part Of hui
mainly by reason of the suns being
below the horizon at the hour named
France. England. Germany, Italy.
Spain and all the eastern part OF the
United States will then be In the
shadow of night. Only on our western
borders is there hope that the transit
may be witnessed. and in the Hawai-
ian Islands there is a much closer ap.
proach to certainty. Professor Barnard
has estimated that the size of the COM
cts head as seen from the earth viii
be more than sufficient to cover ths

compounded that force with the force
OF the suns attraction, and the result
Is the beautiful curve of an ellfpse.
Now, it is because Of faithfully fol
lowing the elliptical path that the COM
ct will not drop into the suns fiery
depths and go u; in a puff Of gas. In
stead it swings around that body at
cafe distance of 81, 609, 900 miles at the
nearest and then proceeds to withdraw
into space on the opposite side of the
ellipse. It is there that it is going to
meet the earth; there that it VIII pass
US, the two bodies going in opposite
directions: there that 1t will come the
nearest: there that it viii appear the
largest; there that it will shine the
brightest; there that it's head will
transit the face of the sun; there that
the earth will plunge headlong through
it's tail We are therefore coming to
the most important days of this come
tary visit.
So we'll had the great astronomer
royal, Sir Edmund HALEY, and 9th

knew that he had rediscovered Hal
ley's comet. and so he telegraphed. to
all the principal observatories Of the
world In few days the astronomers
saw it in their powerful glasses. and
they have been following it ever since

cepted. when it passed the sun the
