SECRET OUT!
Halley's Comet Tail Cause
Of The Hot Weather

Cleveland, May 24-According to a
theory advanced by Professor F. P.
Whitman, who holds the chair of as
tronomy at Western Reserve universi-
ty, the recent visit of Halley's comet
may have something TO do with the
present heat wave which stretches
across the country.
While Professor Whitman refused
to discuss his theory for publication,
from what he said in class it is that
part of the comets redhot fiery tail
is cavorting about somewhere near
Mother Earth and has increased the
temperature abnormally all over the
world.
Just what caused the wanderers
caudal appendage to break away and
chase around in this section of the ce-
lestial regions in so undignified way
he did not explain. Neither did he
say just where he thinks the tail is
to visit the earth.
The professor declared, however,
that there is good reason to suppose
that the increase in temperature is
directly traceable to a wandering bit
of the COMETS tail.

FOUNDER
OF The BafaCa Movement To
Speak In This City
At The First Baptist Church
Thursday Evening

The coming of Marshall A. Hudson
to our city to speak in the First Bap-
tist church on organized class work
in the churches will mark another rise
in effectiveness Of local Bible school
service.
M-. Hudson is founder of the great
international Baraca movement which
has gathered together nearly mil
lion men in organized class work, and
which led to the Philathea movement
which has had similar far-reaching
result among young women.
Both the Baraca and Philathea
movements are interdenominational
and the coming of Mr.. Hudson is in
the interests of organized classes of
all the churches of the city. Every
class is most earnestly urged to be
present in the largest possible repre-
sentation.
In the campaign of Ohio, Thursday
evening was the only date available
for our city, SO the meeting has been
placed at S:15 in order that those de-
string may attend the prayer meeting
in their home church for nearly the
entire hour, and yet get in for Mr..
Hudson's address.
Mr.. Hudson has most remarkable
personality, besides his unparalleled
ability in matters of class work,
which, with his genuine eloquence,
makes him an unusually interesting
speaker.
This meeting will be held in the
auditorium of the First Baptist church
Thursday evening at S:15 and is open
to men and women, boys and girls, all
who are interested in the best things
in service.

PROSPECTS,
Bright For Extension Of Road
To This City
columbus Journal)

1t is said that although A. Il. Herd
and his associates have given up all
connection with the extension of the
Columbus, New Albany and Johnstown
Traction Company line to New Albany
and eventually to Mt Vernon, the
prospects are quite good that other
men will take the matter in charge
and that the extension will be built
within the next year.
1t is said that negotiations are now
on with the Provident Trust and Saw
ings Bank of Cincinnati for the stocks
and bonds of the company which that
institution holds through the taking
over of the Richmond notes, and that
il the deal is completed, work will be
started soon on the line. The men be-
hind the deal are now interested in
traction lines in Ohio and control lines
in the territory of the extension. They
have under consideration a new line
which could be used in connection
with the extension of the local line to
Mt. Vernon, and the purchase of the
New Albany line would fit in well
with their plans.
Engineers who have been over the
route of the proposed extension de-
clare that it would make one of the
best-paying traction propositions in
the state, and, with it's facilities for
entrance into Columbus, would be a
valuable property. 1t is said that
some announcement regarding the
new proposition will be made in the
near future and that 1t will mean the
building of the extension.

Mrs. Stirling is one of the distinguished

She is noted for her appropriate gowns

angler not to mention a number of aliases.
This fish is fiat OF body and very broad
across the head, from which it tapers
abruptly back to short tail. The mouth
is very wide, is surrounded with a fringe
of barbels, and has an enormous capacity.
The average length is about three feet.
While the Inhabitants of Greenland are
not famous as epicures and their verdict
as to the edible qualities of a fish may
not have very great weight with the more
fastidious, it is worthy of remark that
the Greenland or daddy sculpin, which
ranges as far south as New York harbor,
is by the inhabitants of the icy north re-
garded as a tidbit, while in this country
it appeals only to the fishermen as a nui-
Sance. On the other hand, the blue-striped
triggerfish, which strays as far north
ward as the coast of New England, and
which is unrecognized as a food fish on
our shores. is relished extremely by the
inhabitants of the Bahama Islands
When the average fisherman gets a bite
from the voracious mud puppy his ex-
preston is likely to be one OF disgust
more or less accompanied with verbal
profanity. This exceedingly repulsive
looking creature, which rivals the toadfish
in uglness is popularity supposed to be
poisonous, with no more reason, however
than is exercised in bestowing that prop
erty upon the lamprey. AS a matter of
fact, the generally detested mud puppy
has been determined by the government
experts to be very excellent food when
properly prepared, and this fact is noted
upon the label attached to a model of the
creature in the National Museum. Large
numbers of the mud puppy are found in
the lakes and streams throughout eastern
North America, from Canada to the Gulf
of Mexico. There is record Of one haul
at EcorSe, Mich. in which 1850 We're
taken by the net. There is pathetic
finale to the museum label, to the effect
that this creature might be made useful
for food "if people would overcome their
prejudices."
