ful planet is a work of never failing in
terest. The observer will find that many
OF the smaller areas are pushing ahead
through the great cloud of surface vapors
which surrounds them with speed of
many thousands of miles an hour, and
that the whole equatorial region of the
planet completes it's revolution and ends
its day in somewhat shorter time than
the regions in higher latitudes.
Evidently this world is In a very DIFF
ferent condition from our own. It is. in
fact believed that it is at so high a tenn
perature that 1t is nothing but a ball of
Vapor; that there may be an inner core
which under the immense pressure of the
everything material may be so dense as
pitch, or even that there may be a o,1ite
small core which Is solid. And it is prob
able that the parts of the planet near
the center turn about the axis more ran
idly than those parts which lie nearer
the surface. In the year 1878, a great
oval, reddish area appeared on the planet

THE measures which our ministers

we see the consequence. Terror and

Every man is trying TO remove his own

throughout this whole region of the

TWENTIETH CENTURY CONTEST

Indianapolis, June 2S.-(SpeciaL) THE.

worth emphasizing. hat was it's dis
tinctly friendly character as compared
with some former international contests.
In this respect 1t was typical event and
entirely different from some other histor-
ical events. This was a commercial con-
test, If you please, in which the captains
of industry, the artisans the chauffeurs
aud the mechanieians of four or five diff

for supremacy, in which, while every one
hoped to succeed. the dominant spirit was

nationality. 1t was a twentieth century
contest, organized twentieth century
lires, measured by twentieth century
standards and characteristic of twentieth
century civilization. As an International
contest it was very different from the one
that was going on 100 years ago. In
1913 Napoleon Bonaparte, who had been
having things pretty much his own way
for several years, had encountered a frost
up in Russia and was preparing to ride

er and fainter until 1t finally becomes lost
to us.
The present comet was discovered at
the point T, Figure 1, just below the con-
stellation of the Dolphin. 1t was then
approaching the earth, its least distance
from us being reached about June l, when
it was 66O0O,0O0 miles away. It's path lay
outside of that of the earth, and the
comet moved around the sun in an oppo-
site direction from that in which the
earth is moving; consequently the two
bodies rapidly separated. Their distance
apart will increase from III, ,0C0, 600 to 216-
100000 of miles during the present month,
and throughout this time the comet will
be so faint that it can only be seen in
the largest telescopes. The portion of the
apparent path pursued throughout July
lies In the beautiful little group of stars

marked S in this constellation will be
found to be a double star.
The New Comet
The comet whose discovery was re-
Gently announced proved rather a disap-
pointing object both on account of its
small size and on account of its faint
ness. At no time was 1t nearly bright
enough to be seen without a moderately
large telescope. and had its path not
happened to pass within e6.0o0,0O0 of miles
of the earth, which Is unusually near, it
would probably not have been discovered.
The comets are great nebulous clouds,
composed of meteoric matter, gasses,
meteoric dust, and matter In radiant
condition which, as they drift through the
depths of space, begin to feel the pull of
