II Suited Him.

Garrett P. Serviss, the noted science
writer, said at the Brooklyn University
club apropos of Halley's comet:
THE ignorant and superstitious
dread that the comet evoked In some
quarters reminds me of the Millerites.
The Millerites back in seventy-two,
when Grant was up for a second term,
were preaching the immediate destruc-
ton Of the world. They were even
giving their property away.
swell, at a Millerite camp meeting
m night in Maine a Millerite preacher
preached that the end Of the world
would come on Oct. 1, just a month
before election.
The preacher noticed a man in a
front seat who manifested every
symptom Of satisfaction whenever the
date was driven home. Perplexed. he
accosted the man at the end Of the
service and asked him why he had
shown pleasure over such a terrible
matter.
Anything to beat Grant, was the
~eply."-Washington Post

soda and. potash salts. As both of these
minerals are readily soluble and are not
to be found as "outcrops" like ordinary
rocks, the mission of the survev ia NOT
an easy one. Nevertheless, it is be-

earth's history Of both of these SALTS

Hardly anything could be suggested
which would be of greater assistance to
the American farmer than the discov.

When Dolly Madison was mistress
OF the White House, Meley Meley, the
first Turkish minister to this country,
arrived in Washington, and a grand
ball was given in his honor, to which
the beauty and fashion Of the town
fiocked, curious to see his elaborate

the open admiration about him until,
spying a large. fat negress on her way
from the kitchen, he rushed to her
and, with much enthusiasm, threw his
arms around her, saying she reminded
him of home and his best and most
expensive wife-'a load for a camel.'

 NOT KEEP ACCOUNTS

Chicago. January 26-A danger to the finances of some railroads. resulting from their methods of keeping equipment &C., counts. was pointed out by John Moody, an authority on railroad securities in the hearing today before the commission in- vestigating plan of federal control of securities. MT. Moody testified that many roads were paying interest on stock is- sued for equipment long after the equip ment had worn out and after the asset for the stock had ceased to exist The right theory, said Mir. Moody, was to provide for the paying off of the obliga- ton in proportion as the equifment wore out.
 But" declared the witness, 'if proper system of equipment accounting were en- forced, the weaker roads undoubtedly would be thrown into bankruptcy and the stronger lines would be in serious finan- cial difficulty
