IN THE DAY OF THE GREAT
COMET

COMET
Prof. Edwin Booth. of the chair OF
chem stry. University of California,
says the tail of HaMey's comet may
contain enough cyanogen gas. when
It envelops the earth. to put an end
to life Since the celestial bodies are
amenable to a higher law, and there
fore immune from the preservative
provisions of our pure food statutes,
We can only suggest that this would
be an auspicious time to start a re-
vival in Berkley, Cal, and since the
followers of ZOroaster believe q
great comet will visit the earth and
purify all mankind. they ought to
begin to see an end of the struggle
between the good and the evil forces
in mankind.
For our part, II we were as crazy
for spectacular career as some peo-
PIE, we could ask for nothing more
becoming than a finish in the tail OF
comet. OF course. that would in
initely defer the deep waterways
scheme, leave the investigation into
the Ballinger case and the cause OF
high prices uncompleted; and ii
might find the Kentucky legislature
still In session. and some Of the 1919
spring millinery still in the windows.
There are a great many interesting
and entertaining problems. which we
shall not have solved before the by
4 ~ 4afT
down upon us from nlimitable
space. We could wish for more
time to disarm the nations, 70 try
the commission form of government,
to buNd that bridge and to see an
other circus.
Yet. IL II costs us our lives, II may
be worth the price Just to see the
comets tail We have offered as
much to see less, and II we were
rendered back broken life IN
change, we gladly offered il again to
see something else. Now. II the full
price is demanded, can We not re
main consistent to ourselves, and.
-ig III uON OuI lives at lllt NAAuUM
Of curiosity say TO the fate, whose
judgment We have tempted before,
let US see the whole spectacle and
keep the change? That's what we
live for, and what a man lives for,
he ought to be willing to die for,
especially II in dying he can see the
whole of hfe's desires for sensations
gratified in one Overwhelmingly
glorious tingle. After that there
would be nothing to live for. sincel
everything else would be contempti-
Bile and uninteres ting.
Whatever be the consequences, let
the frisky comet come and tickle our
with its tail, and blind
US with its glare, and deafen us with
its Kissing. and choke us with the
smell of its gas, and-yes, IL al
meteorite falls to earth there be
those, who viii apply their tongues TO
1t while II Is yet hot TO see how Il |
tastes. BY all means let us see the
comet. We have never missed any
thing yet.
