Comets Tails and the Sun.

A theory to explain the tails Of COM
cts is advanced by the French physi-
cist. NJ. Houlleyigue in the Revue Sci
entifque. 1t is natural to suppose. he
says. that the incandescent nucleus of
a comet is throwing out electrons into
the extremely raretied atmosphere that
surrounds it. The observations of
George Ellery Hale. the American as
tronomer, prove that the sun behaves
like a negatively electrified body.
Therefore be repels electrons. which
are negatively electrified bodies. These
particles so repealed would be driven
to that side of the comet which is
farthest from the sun. and by contact
with the molecules of the gaseous and
rarefied atmosphere would produce just
the luminous appearance that we call
a comets tail.
Every comets tail always extends
away from the sun Arrhenius, the
Swedish astronomer. believed that the
particles of the tail were repealed by
the light Of the sun.

"Brother, It's My Duty"

Duties sometimes conflict. A son
lives with his wife and his mother.
The debt he owes to the woman who
bore him and cared for him for thrice
seven years. and the woman for whom
he has vowed to forsake all others
what shall he do? A lad was to be
shot for sleeping on picket duty. His
little sister came down from Vermont
to plead for the boy. Great generals
said his death was necessary for the
discipline and safety of the Union
army. What was Lincolns duty-sign
the death warrant or the reprieve?
Ones honor or the duty of silence un-
der provocation? In the dull drab
monotony of everyday life what we
want to do or ought to do? How about
mistaken duties? Live with bad hus-
band or hunt up divorce lawyer?
Have you any of those dear brethren
who think it their duty to tell you
what folks say about your l wish
they would think it duty to repeat
pleasant things now and then. know
those Jealous. misguided folks will get
to heaven. but l do hope my mansion
isn't next door to theirs.
The 6'uebird Of Happiness.
The secret of happiness is duty done.
That's why some of US are short on
happiness and long on the things we
ought to have done. Truth must be
presented whether clad In calico or
purple. suppose duty is dressed most
" in drab and homespun. This must
be said. "As blessings become brighter
when we are about to lose them, duty
dWindles as we bravely attack It."
Where love actuates the thing is no
longer duty. If a son came back from
the city once a year to visit his mother
and said. I've come to visit YOU
mother. because I feel it my duty"
she would reply. Better not come at
all If young fellow said to his
best girl. I'm kissing you tonight be-
cause 1t is my duty" she. would fash
