A spectacle In the Sidereal heavens of surpassing brilliancy may be ex- pected the coming spring if the pre- dictiOns of cometary observers are verified. Not since the great comet of 1858, which aroused vast deal of in- terest, has an appearance in the sky eQualed what is confidently expected for 1918. The return of Halley's comet in 1910, which had anxlously been awaited, did not come up to what had been predicted and expected, and since 1882 there has not been any especially brilliant comet seen. The newcomer is described as a gigantic comet, outclassing in size and brillian- cy all those seen in modern times. It will be thing of glory in the north western sky throughout the spring, as- trOnOmers say, probably remaining visD ible for three months, being at its brightest in June. It is now speeding toward the sun at an approximate rate of 1,134,246 miles day.

Dyes and Worms.

In order to determine the action of dyes when taken into the system, N. A. Cobb of the United States department of agriculture, selected for experiments the tiny worms called nematodes. It is well known that certain of the aniline dyes have peculiar affinities for cer- tain sorts of living cells, observes a chemist, so MT. Cobb tried various dyes on these worms and watched their action under a microscope. He found that different organs received different dyes, so that he was able to tint the internal apparatus of the nematodes in several cOlors and thus watch them clearly under his microscope. And he discovered some strange facts, not the least of which is that the dyestuffs un- dergo a chemical action in the crea- ture's body to such an extent that you can never tell what color your dye will produce until you have tried it. An other fact of great importance is that he has found that different granules of the same cell absorb different dyes and marifestly perform different roles.

It is amazing how ideas of beauty vary with latitude and longitude. In Japan, the professional beauty loves to appear with golden teeth, in India she prefers them stained red, but in certain parts of Sumatra no lady who respected herself would condescend to have any front teeth at all. They are removed the moment they appear, and strictly suppressed if they should try again,

One of the greatest photop1ay bills yver presented in this city is at this
 Theatre today. The big attraction is William S. Hart, the greatest delinea- tor of western characters in his first Aircraft production, The Marrow Trail, E stx-act production. The story of The Narrow Trail is one of intense heart appeal and affords MT. Hart Hbundant opportunities for the dis play of his great talents. One of the thrilling bits of the play is a fight between Hart and two of his company which for realism and sheer desperate ness has no equal in cinema history. No gloves were used in this battle, and Hart. as we'll as his antagonists, were badly bruised after it was over. On the whole this is a typical Hart picture of out-of-door life filled with beautiful views of the great west and throbbing with those human clements of hate. love and revenge that makes such pictures faithful portraits of frontier that has all but passed into history, and has made the name of and the peoples favorite.
