HALEY's COMET 81 YEARS AGO
Is Same Terrific Wanderer in Space
That Has Appeared Down
the Ages.

The world was up all night Septem-
ber ~, 1910. Haleys comet blazed
across the roof of the world. This
great comet" whose revolution oc-
cupied 202 years, was first seen in Aug
ust. 1858, by a gentleman in Altoona,
but Haley's comet, named after the
astronomer who calculated its prog
ress is the same terrific wanderer In
depths of space that has appeared
down the ages. and to which success
sive names nave been given-BeIa's
comet, Donati's comet, etc. From the
records of history 1t seems that the
comet appears to foretell some world
disaster. 1t appeared before the fall
of Jerusalem under Titus; in the reign
of Louis the Debonair, S37, and the
king died shortly after; it appeared
before the death of Caesar, 43 b. G.
Again it appeared three years after
the capture of Constantinople by. the
Turks. 1456. 1t appeared in 1861. just
before the Civil war, and in 1910, be-
fore the great war.

The ceremony attending burial Is
quite interesting. Roast pig. chickens.

After ten years burial the graves are
opened and the bones removed. scraped
and. thoroughly cleaned. They are
then packed into small lettered boxes
and sent back to China. For the
Chinese believe that there can be no
rest for their people If left buried on
foreign soil. So the bones are SEN

her important service in helping win
the war. The big ship. after being
refitted for passenger service, is to be

is uncertain, it is reported that she

the future of Il service to Hamburg.
The Leviathan, formerly the Water

world, was interned in New York by
the Germans in 1914. She was will
