TALK OF HALEY COMET
Due About April First
Charged With Having
Caused Paris Flood.

Judgment day for HaIiey's
comet. charged with having
caused the Paris floods, is fast
approaching. On or about April
l the comet is due to show it's
face.
The comet may be seen first
near the horizon, astronomers
say. 1t will look like an ordin-
airy star, but whenit approaches
the sun the tail will develop. 1t
will be lost in the suns bright
ness and will then reappear for a
time. 1t will not show itself
again tor seventy-fve years.
On April Is it will reach a
point $4,000, 900 miles distant
from the sun.
On May 18it will pass through
the plane of the earth's orbit
with it's tail stretched out to an
enormous length directly away
from the sun. Just one day later
the earth will reach this point
and as it will then be only 49,,
100000 miles from the comet,
it will pillow directly through the
tail, There is a possibility that
this will produce strange,
yellow, phosphorescent glow, !"
according to some astronomers.
Until March % the comet will
be seen in the evening sky. 1t
will then pass west of the sun,
remaining in the morning sky
until May IS After that date it
will again return to the morning
sky and run very rapidly east
ward. During this time it will
be a magnificent object, which,
by it's brightness and speed rec
ord proclivities, will attract the
attention of every observer.

FRISKY TROUT SKIDDO.
Twenty.three Days Until
Opening of Season---Devo-
tees Rummaging Attic For
Tackle.

Sage advice offered devotees OF
the risky trout by a ueighboring
ednor-sport who is undoubted-
~ troubled with troutitchtis:
Opening OF the trout season is
but twenty-three days away and
already the city man is knocking
his head against the rafters in
the attic while trying to locate
his field dunnage in order that it
may be put in shape for trip to
the streams next month.
April ID will see the departure
of many for northern waters if
weather conditions are propitir
Gus and trout streams are not so
swollen as to impair the sport.
Cleaning up reels, finding last
years line rotted and worthless,
overhauling the fish kit in eener-
al and talking trout is about as
much fun in the anticipation as
the real work.
When you're fishing for
trout" says the old angler. "use
seasonable bait. In fact, that
applies to all fish. But don't go
after trout with a fly in the
spring. In the spring the trout
are looking for worms and grubs
add such things which naturally
come to them on the high waters
of spring. They will seldom look
at a fly. In fact, month in and
month out you will find that the
grub are killing bats.
Now while the trout is the
real lazy mans fish for cleaning,
it IS just the opposite when you
come to catch your bird. Clean
ing requires only removal of en-
trails. There are no scales to be
removed. and your true woods
man devours him, head, body,
fms, tail and bones. He is table
fsh that cannot be beaten. but
too cloying for a steady diet.
"Mr. Trout is just as likely to
be found in stream which you
can step across as anywhere else.
II YOU have high wading boots,
or don't mind a wetting, the
best way is to get right into the
stream and fish down, allowing
the current to carry the bait
ahead of you past every stick, log,
fock and bit of overhanging.
bank. Keep your shadow behind
YOU If you can, and make mighty
little noise in your operations.
You are apt to find your fish
on the rifles in the spring, where
the water may be but four or
FIVE inches deep. as you are in
deep water, but you will get
the big fellows weighing from
half pound up to two or more
pounds from deep water where
the swift currenc has secured the
bottom clean. A light line, a
stout gut leader, a trout hook
a rod six or seven feet long with
a smooth running reel and
worms for bait will fill creel
and afford royal sport.

A BIT o NOTHIN
sggGgeggggggGeeg@ GGggGy


An inventive cuss from Oneida
county claims to have just com
pleted the making of an auto
matte, self-registering base ball
bat. This wonderful bat don't
look any different, eithe< in size
or shape, than the common bats
now in use, but it's construction
is remarkable. 1t is made of
three seperate pieces of hollow
wood and can be taken apart
the same as a jointed fish pole.
Two of these pieces are 10 inches
in length and the center piece is
four inches. The striking end of
the bat is equipped with an auto
matte registering device which
registers and keeps an accurate
score of all the batters, hits,
bunts, and stike-outs. The
handle end has a moving picture
camera concealed in it and is so
arranged that no matter what
position the bat. might be in,
either held by the player or lying
on the ground, it will take a
picture of the player from the
time he starts for first, until he is
either put out or gets back to
home plate. The center piece IS
the exact size ofan Edison record
and has a reproducing apparatus
that is so sensitive that every de-
cision of the umpire and all other
noise and sayings that go to a
base ball game are recorded, and
this piece can be put on any Ed
ison phonograph. Every fan in
this country will readily see that
this invention will have its adj
vantages. First, it will cut out
the greater part of these extra
evening games that are always
PLAYED after game. Second, If
any player gets to telling how it
happened he will have to shut up
or show his proof. The inventor
tells US that a stock company
has been formed and that the
new company expects to be
manufacturing these bats by the
middle of May.
