HALLEY'S COMET TRAVELLING 100,
600 MILES AN HOUR.

Chicago, April 5.-Halley's comet is
less than l50000,O00 miles away this
afternoon, and in a few days, as soon
as it rises enough ahead of the sun
to get out of the dawn light, early
bird people will be able to see it with
out the aid of telescopes or glasses.
Father j. d. McHugh, the astrono-
mer of DePaul university, vouciied
for this today. Although efforts made
from his observatory this morning fail
ed to locate the comet because of the
suns brightness, he expects good views
this week with the possibility Of dis
carding Instruments by April t.
The comet is now coming earthward
at the fast-eypress rate of 100000
miles an hour, and will cross the
earth's tracks on May 26. although the
earth will be twenty days ahead
Nearest to Earth May II.
The two bodies will be going in diff
ferent directions at that time, however,
and it will be on May II that it will
be l2,0000O0 miles distant. its near

whose views You hold. IF it does
touch the earth's atmosphere there will
be a luminous glow at night, but
otherwise there will be no effect sci

The comet will appear as an OBJ

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT IS IN
TERESTED IN MATTER.

The pOstOllicc department is to take
up the good roads movement The
new departure is result of difficulty
experienced on some rural delivery
routes, and Postmaster Veige, re-
ceived communication from Wash
inston Saturday giving him prelini
nary instructions. I'm addition to bring
ing pressure to bear on county and
township officers, some reforms i'm the
delivery boxes along the rural routes
will he tried. The letter is signed
by p. V. DeGraw, fourth assistant
postmaster general, and part of it
reads as follows:
you are directed to inform yourself
with reference to the condition OF
roads and bridges on the rural routes
out of your Office, and if you find tha.
they require improvement You should
present the matter in the strongest
and most positive way to the patrons
and road officials, informing them that
improvements must be made as soon
as practicable
If. after Il reasonable time has
elapsed, improvements have not been
made or started, You will report the
fact to this office in order that action
may be taken looking to the dscon-
tinnance of the service
The department is not Immediately
concerned in elaborate road improve
ments, but in the interest of the best
service to the largest number of pat
rons it must insist upon roads being
kept in good repair, the lack of which
rs usually due to improper drainage.
and unsuitable grading and surface
work, which can be easily and cheaply
accomplished by timely work and reg
nlar use of the split log drag and
similar devices"
No especial appropriations nave been
made for this new phase of the de
partment's activities, but it is expect
ed that much can be done in the way
OF pushing the movement, and either
personal supervision or careful! in
quiries are asked of the postmaster.
Within few weeks letters will be
sent to the rural delivery routes ask
ing that patrons paint posts bearing
the delivery boxes pure white color.
The names are to be lettered i'm plain
block characters two inches high, and
in addition the boxes at crossroads
should bear directions to be i'm con
formance with the departments
wishes.
