most beautiful furnace comets" it has

ing their brilliancy and with the APP
proach of spring, scientists say, they
will vanish until favorable conditions
feappear next winter.
Furnace comets are great broad
shafts of yellow light which pierce the
black background Of a murky sky in
most spectacular manner. They flash
almost without moments notice and
Jade almost as quickly only to reap
pear as bright, if not brighter than be
iore. Usually there are two of them,
II times rising perpendicular, but oft

Scientists at the Allegheny observa

that the light from the blast furnaces
generates the atmosphere above the

Sands. For years they have passed
lmost unnoticed until this year when,
because of the continued operation of
arge numbers of furnaces, they became
much more frequent and much more
beautiful.

Former Premier's Return

London, Feb. 26.-All political ques-
tions are for the moment completely
eclipsed by former Premier Asquith's
triumphant return to Parliament by a
majority the size of which astonished
everybody, including his own support
ers. The result is universally recog-
nized as a notable personal achieve
ment, even for a statesman with Mr..
Asquith's long record, while the restor-
alton of his presence and influence in
the councils of Parliament is held to
be an event destined to have important
consequences in the politics OF Great
Britain and probably the world
Politicians Of all parties talked OF
nothing yesterday but the possibilities
opened by his active resumption of
leadership OF the opposition, which, it
is general conceded, he will take over
forthwith from Sir Donald MacLean,
whose tenure has always been regarded
as more or less temporary. 1t is I'M
derstood Mr.. Asquith will take his seat
in the House next Monday and will
probably make his first speech next
week during the debate on the second
reading OF the Irish bill.
Most newspapers heartily welcome
the return Of the great liberal leader
even those which opposed him politi-
cally, having good words for him. Their
views as to the significance of his elec-
ton, however. differ widely, it being
declared to be due. among other things,
to growing popular disgust with the
coalition government, popular hostility
to the labor program OF nationalist
ton. which Mr. Asquith emphatically
condemns, and re-awakening liberal
ism.
Among other causes submitted by
the press as accounting for the former
PREMIER big majority is the vote cast
bv women, It beirR contended. on one
hand. that women are afraid of the la
Dor movement and. or the other hand,
that they are irritated by the high
prices which they are disposed to at
