COMET LARGER THAN
HALLEY'S NEARING Us
Astronomers Say is Speeding
Toward Sun at the Rate of
More Than a Million Miles
Each Day.
WILL BE VISIBLE HERE
BETWEEN MAY AND JUNE

Outclassing in size and bril-
liancy all comets of modern times,
including Halley's, a comet is
speeding toward the sun at the
rate of /, 134, 246 miles a day, and
will be visible to the naked eye
some time between April and
June, according to astronomers.
Brilliancy of the comet will de-
pend, to a great extent, upon the
earth's position to the comet at
the time it will be visible, it is
said, but astronomers through
out the United States have de-
clared it will be brighter than
Halley's.
The new comet was discovered
by Prof Max Wolf of Heidelberg,
Germany, last April. 1t was then
483, 600, 900 miles distant. 1t has
since been named VOLTS comet.
Astronomers figure that on
June 16, or II, 1917, as perihel-
ion, the comet will be 134, 600, 600
miles from the sun. 1t passed
behind the sun September 16.
Professor Blagden expects that
the comet will be seen at its best
in fine northwestern sky, bright
ly lined against the constellation
Pegasus.
1t is stated by astronomers
that comets wear away with age.
That was the reason Halley's
comet was so dim in 1911. On
its return in 1886 it may be Wis
ible, and it may be not, say
scientists.

GUN ACclDENTLY DISCHARGED

Last Saturday afternoon, A.
Dixon, a railway employe, after
engaging a room at the CONNER
cial hotel, went up to unpack his
trunk and in some manner drop
ped his revolver which was dis
charged, the ball narrowly mis-
sing his head, passing out thru
the front door and across the
hallway. The report of the
weapon occasioned considerable
excitement and when attaches
of the hotel arrived, Dixon was
found sitting on the bed, notion
less, holding one of his thumbs
which was badly powder burned
as a result of the close proximity
to the discharged weapon. Dix
on was uninjured but appeared
to be badly frightened. The
gun was found lying on the floor
where it had fallen.

WRAPPING TWlNE
FROM PAP r

Washington, November 80.
That wrapping twines which give
thorough satisfaction can be made
from paper has been demonstrat-
ed by experiments made by the
Forest Produ . Laboratory at
Madison, Wisconsin. Several
hundred packages, each confirm
ing a medium-sized book, were
wrapped and fastened with the
lightest-weight paper twine and
were mailed to various points
throughout the United States.
Reports show that practically
every package was received in
good order and that in no case
was there any damage which
could be charged as a fault of the
twine.
In making twine the paper is
cut into narrow strips which are
then twisted tightly to form a
cord. The strength of the twine
depends upon the character of
the paper used and the process
of treatment. 1t is well adapted
to a number of purposes, but the
foresters say that as yet no sat
isfactory means has been found
for protecting paper twine from
the action of water and it should
not be used where it will be ex-
posed TO moisture.

FATHER AND SON
VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION
Keg of Powder Which Had
Been Dormant for Years
Suddenly Comes to Life
When Affinity Hampers.
FLESH TORN FROM ARM
OF ELDERLY VICTIM

The explosion of a keg Of
powder which had been stored
away in a chicken house on the
Water Canyon ranch, about eight
miles south of Carrizozo, Sunday
about noon, came near claiming
the lives of w. M. Brazel, aged
about AS years, and his son Jack,
aged about sixteen. 1t seems
that the powder had been stored
away so long that its presence
had almost been forgotten, the
keg itself had badly deteriorated
and it was thought the powder,
owing to the fact of its long ex-
posure to the elements, had be-
come devoid of its explosive
properties, thus rendering it
harmless.
Mr.. Brazel and his son were
engaged at fumigating t h c
chicken house when the explo-
sion occurred, the fire supposedly
reaching the powder from their
fumigating torches. The young
er Brazel was nearest the pow
der keg but probably did not re-
ceive any worse burns than did
his father who was also inside
the building. Mr.. Brazel at first
thought his son was killed.
They were both blinded by the
explosion and in his cropping
about for a means by which to
escape from the building of flame
and fumes, his hand came in
contact with a red hot screen
which he attempted to tear away
and in so doing tore a portion OF
the flesh from his forearm.
Due to the fact that the pow,
der was not closely confined the
explosion, so to speak, was not
instantaneous, but a flame shot
out like a glare of lightning, with
only a slight report. When
found. both the Brazels were
unconscious. They were immed
lately rushed to town and placed
in the DR.. Lucas hospital where
they are recovering as rapidly as
possible. 1t is thought that the
eyesight of both can be complete
ly restored.
