HALLEY's COMET OF 1910 has doubt.
leas enlisted more interest than any that
has heretofore appeared in the heaVens
since man was placed rpon the earth,
and in the face of the positive sssur-
auces to the contrary by the greatest
living astronomers, many persons stlll
believe the visitor is q harbinger OF
evil, even should no barn occur 10
the ealta during its coming and going
S, far as can be learned from history
no comet has ever collided with Gu
planet nor has any one been huit by
such wanderers in space. Bat the ap'
prehensiye call attention to the fact that
there srs spots on the sun and other
heavenly phenomena that Is not ex-
plsined to their satisfaction. Solar
spots are often Noticeable, and any
psr,on who will take piece OF smoked
glass and examine the sun will prot
ably ind spots at any time. There
are passages in the Bible which csu'e
nnrest to many who read literally what
hss been written. For instance, "Aud
there shall be great earthquakes IN
divers places, and famiaes and post!-
lences, and fearful sights aud great
signs shall there be from heaven"
ssAud there shall be signs in the sur,
and In the moon, and in the stars, and
upon the earth distress of nations, mems
hearts falling them for fear, and fol
looking after those things which are
coming on the earth, for the powers o.
the heavens shall be shaken" There
were people in Alexandria yesterday
evening who were no little exercised
at looking upon what they supposed
was the comet whizzing in the face
of the sur. Others were confident that
they saw tie moon suddenly change hel
position and color hut the night passed
away ssreneIy and today has been es
pecIslly psciic.

COMETARY NOTES.

Following closely on the wholly uu-
expected astronomical condition that
prevailed esrly yesterday, when the taiI
of Hslley's comet vas plainly seen in

vatory, Williams Bay, Wis, we're further
bewildered by Startling appsiilion
across the face OF the SUI at noon. A.
broad spectrum of light, extending
across and q considerable distance to
each side OF lie sun, challenged the
attention OF vigiant, weary observers.
For the second time In dCz.u hours
the copgregated scientists are greatly ex-
cited.
Enormous fu1 spots seen Wednesday
afternoon, followed By brilliant displays
of northero lights last night, and these,
in turn, succeeded by varied reports OF
fiery tt,eamers shooting across the
horiz)n to the southwest, hsd been
passed by the astronomers as having
absolutely no direct connection with the
comet. But the spectrum WAS aro!her
story. "Although l cannot advance an
opinion st this time" said Professor
Frost, 81 can see no other cause but
the comet for the appearance Of the
spectrum" He believed that the two
were related in some unexplained
manner,

astronomers is Interesting:

earth was not near enough 10 pass
through the comets tail yesterday morn
ing, but would likely do so sometime
last night. The tail is curved
yFather Algne, snilla-The cherished
theory OF solid compost ion forming the
nucleus Of comets is disproved.
Director Elsins, Vale Observatory
The comet made its Transit Of the sun at
the time fixed. The tail could not keep
up with the head.

ing far behind the head and changes It's
inclinations according to its position re-
laive TO the plane of the earth's ecliptic.
