 There are very few molybdenite mines in the world, and the value of the ore is great since it is good substitute for platinum and tungsten. The metal is practically non fusiblc.

 GERMAN ASTRONOMERS DISCOVERY

NEW YORK, Unless something ness this spring a great heavenly phe nomenon--a mighty comet blazing forth night after night with it's tali sweeping an immense arc through the heavens, a source of terror to the SUI perstitious and of intense interest to all
 We may have absurd scares among usually well balanced people, who be- lieve the tail of the comet will sweep devastating effect. The tenuous na- ture of all comets renders them q source Of minor danger, as astrono- mers agree and we have little to fear from the vast mass of nebulous ma terial, even though enveloped in it.
 Comet B-l9l6" is the name of the stranger. 1t is so called because it was the second comet discovered last year. Professor Wolf of Koenigstuhl, 0etcCtcu tnc luSiiiilS pouS Hull. plC ture on photographic plate last April and proceeded to telegraph the news to observatories all over the world with great joy.
 The statement that :he new comet will be monster rests principally on the fact that 1t was discovered when fully 400, ,0O0,000 miles from the earth just within the orbit of the grea: planet Jupiter.
 All comets increase greatly in size and brilliancy as they approach the sun. If such proves to be the case this time, "Comet-B ll6" should make a great impression.
 The comet Is now on the other side of the sun. whose greater luminance conceals it. Earth, sun and comet have just passed conjunction, as the state Is called when the three bodies are in line.
 From now until May. conditions will become increasingly favorable for ob- servation. In few months the come: should be visible to the naked eye in parts of the earth suitably situated.
 At present the comet. is approach ing the earth at a rate of more than

million miles a day.
 It is now situated in the sky just north of the constellation Libra and about l5 degrees northwest of the up- per end of the Scorpion. These con- stella:ions are near the sun, appearing in the early morning hours just pro- cading sunrise.
 On January l the comet was still more than 3O0,0O0,o0O miles away, is perihelon passage, or nearest ap- proach to the sun, is due next June The path of the comet has not yet been accurately plotted, but dozens of astronomers are working on it with complex tables and extensive mathe- matical calculations.
 ! Astronomers have not decided or not. Some of them appear 70 have parabolic orbits and fly off into space, never to see the solar system again But their supposed parabolic orbits may simply be elliptical orbits.
 But there are numbers of comets known to be permanent members of the solar systm. They accompany the sun and it's planets in its onward journey through space. While the orbits of the planets are nearly cir cular. all comets fly alone i1 greatly drawn out ellipses.
 Some comets are satellites of tho larger planets and fly about these cold bodies instead of around the sun. If q comet happens to come close to a major planet on it's journey toward the sun it may be captured" and from then on have it's orbit permanently changed to include the planet. Jupiter Is known to have quite large family of captured comets.
 Comets are the largest in size and the smallest in mass. per uni: of size, of all known heavenly bodies.
 Almost every comet consists of a bright nucleus, coma, or hair" sur rounding the nucleus, and long tail
 The tail always points away from the sun. The comet comes up to the sun, goes around i: with the tail mak- ing a great sweep and finally backs"

away, facing the sun with is tail be- hind it.
 The nucleus, although it appears sometimes as bright as a first mag ntude star, is believed to be no more than a swarm of rhetoric particles These are evidently bound together by a loose bond of gravitation.
 The head of Donati's comet was 250,000 miles In diameter, while the more than a million miles through at its greatest magnotude. As the comet approaches close 70 the sun the head sems to deminish in size

The tail develops as the comet ap- breaches the sun and head contracts. The great comet of 1S43 had tail more than 2OO.OOO.0O0 miles in length and the comet of 1882 had head 2Oo0OO miles in diameter and a tail 100000000 miles long. or farther than the distance from the sun to earth.
 The comet of 1S43 actually passed through the corona and within 32,ooo miles of the suns surface, and only it's enormous velocity of several hun dred miles per second saved it from actually falling into the sun.

Fearing the Russian Bear, Poles
Fail to Respond to German Call
To Arms; Kaiser May Take State

Nor are large elements OF the Pol
ish population displaying any keen en-
thusiasm, returning travellers state,
for the civil organization of the new
kingdom. The fear of the conse-
qucuccs in case Russian rule should
by any possibility be re-estahlishcd,
exercises a very great dcterrins influ-
ence of many of tho Poles.
The Polish state came into exist
once only after long negotiations he
tween the various parties and the at
tempt to bring representatives OF all
those parties into council had finally
TO be abandoned. Men like Prince
Lubomirsky, who headed the Prov
sion civil government of Warsaw after
the Russians were expelled, are quoted
as saying frankly that, according to
the laws Of nations they are still
Russian states and cannot participate
in the government under the new or
der until they are formally ahsolved
from their obligations under the peace
settlements.
Sentiment IN Germany on the ad-
visibility Of proclaiming the Polish
kingdom was divided from the start
and now speculation is being INDUCED
in as to whether the indicated devel-
opmcnts may not affect Germany S
ultimate policy toward Poland in the
peace negotiations. In some German
quarters. indeed, the question is being
asked: "Why should Germany make
sacrifices to establish III" kingdom II
the Poles are not willing 20 fight
for it?'
