HALLEY'S COMET WILL
CAUSE STAR SHOWER

Paris French savants, while de-
nyIng that there is any danger of the
worlds extinction, view with intense
interest the approach of Halley's COM
ct, which, after rs years absence, is
coming toward the earth at the rate
of $4,000 miles an hour.
According to calculations, gases OF
the comets tail will reach the earth's
atmosphere May 10, next.
Benjamin Baillaud. director of the
Paris observatory. takes an optimistic
view Of the conditions likely to arise.
He says:
we shall now endeavor to explain
certain electric and magnetic condi-
tions which will undoubtedly be pro-
duced in the terrestrial atmosphere. We
shall probably see showers OF falling
stars in our heavens and other me-
teoric phenomena"
when asked If these would include
danger to life on earth, the professor
smiled and replied:
Hardly 1t Is quite true that the
gas ofa comet, now known to be cy-
anogen. IL mixed with our air, would
produce a most dangerous poison, but
in a comets tail the gas is so extreme
~ rarified that no danger is possible

SHIP BRAKE ONE OF
LATEST INVENTIONS
NEW APPLIANCE WILL BE
TRIED ON BATTLESIIIPS
PAir OF Steel Wings Enables Ship to
Stop Within Its Own Length
If Successful viii Revolutionize
Marine War.

Washington.-A new phase of bat
tloshlp fighting may be brought
about before the end of the present
the navy of the ship break, Canadian
invention just about to be tested by
Uncle sam.
The battleship Indiana is being
equipped with the appliance at the
League Island yard, and the invent
ors, basing 'heir assumption on the
success of previous tria.s with small
er vessels, anticipate that the big
ships of war viii be able to go through
maneuvers now impossible for even
the smallest tugs
The invention consists of a compar-
atNely simple arrangement of steel
wings which lie close to the side of
the vessel. To bring them into play
they are simply unfolded. The shock
that might be expected is taken up by
water cylinders which act as a cush-
ion, absorbing the strain gradually.
1t is expected that the ships will be
brought to a standstiil, under ordi-
nary speed, within the distance of
their own length. II this is found TO
be the case, the possibility of COLI
sion in tactical maneuvers will be
reduced to a minimum. Moreover
by using one of the wings, the ships
will be able to turn with n much
smaller radius than is now possible
The game OF war Will be made
more complex If the arrangement

Guilty will prove themselves more elu-
sive targets-particular for subma'
rines and torpedo boats, which count
for effectiveness largely upon the un'
wieldliness of the big ships and the
difficulty they experience in deviat
ing from their course when undel
way.
In the merchant marine, also, th'
invention will be Of great value. Th'
greatest difficulty with which ordi
nary liners have TO contend arise
