COULD A COMET HIT US?

followed by Y ciphers. or 2,1o5,30o,- GOO, ,000, ,000, GOO, 900. If the entire earth were covered with water to a. depth Of S4.5 feet, this much heat would raise all that water from freezing to the boiling point. The chief consolation, if such a catastrophe were imminent, would be its suddenness.
 But while all this is considered pes sible. the weather man adds that the chances of a comet actually striking our little globe are one to 2S1.OOO,OOo. Here again the figure is so large that we do not get much of an idea of what it means. Arago. the astronomer, ex- plains it like this: The danger of death to each individual would be exactly equal to the danger he would incur, supposing that in an urn containing PSI, 100000 balls there should be only one white ball, and that he would be condemned to death should he draw the white ball.
 It seems certain that none of the comets whose ways astronomers have
 catalogued could endanger the earth for thousands of years. Automobiles,
 much more reasonable cause for fear than the comets.
 This One Probably Harmless We can, therefore, gaze at Win necke'S comet secure in the belief that
 it has no intention of jolting the earth ! OQS OI SpdSt Nite iGNl lew CGI- i turies anyway. Winnecke's comet is a good specimen of the garden va ! rfety of comet. It is interesting to us | because it will very probably be vis- l ible to the naked eve some time ir l June. It has not yet been picked U 1 by the astronomers at the naval ob- l servatory here, although they say i could probably be seen through a tele- | scope now if they knew where to lool 1 for it. When the comet has been To- | cated. the astronomers will he able tC l, calculate the date when it will be mos /, clearly visible and where it will b, | found in the heavens.
 ! Comets are rapidly being robbed O 1 their romantic possibilities, but com paratively little authentic information
 replaces the old mystic ideas. A fev centuries ago serious minded people a well as the credulous peasantry coult get all sorts of thrills out of a. comet

tude that few outside Of her immediate
friends were aware of it's seriousness.
During the weeks of suffering at the
hospital and after her return home,
she was cheerful and never complained
though her suffering was intense.
During the last few weeks Mr..
Gooch's home has been the scene of
a heroic battle which he has staged in
effort to save his wife's life. But
pneumonia, following and brought on
by her other illness, left her too weak
to rally, and after having been CON
scious only a few moments at various
times and too weak to convey her
thoughts and wishes to those about
her at these moments, she passed away
Wednesday evening at $50.
She is survived by her husband, her
son Leslie, and her sister, Mrs. Grace
Edmondson of Metz, Mo, her brother.

union, two sons were born, Dewey J.
and William H.
Sixteen years ago the family moved
to Brookings county, South Dakota, set
Ting on a farm not far from the pres
ent homestead which was purchased
about five years ago. Mr.. Halstead
was constantly interested in agricul-
ture, even in spite of illness which re-
suited from a severe case OF influenza
fourteen months ago. Depending up
on the loyalty Of the two sons, the
father directed the work Of the farm
until the last, faithful in his devotion
to the interests of the land which rep
resented not only the fruitage of toll
but the development of this state
which had been chosen for their resi-
dence.
Recovering somewhat from the
dread attack of influenza, Mr.. Hal
stead suffered again, a few weeks after
wards, an affection of the heart. Con
fined to his room and finally to his bed,
he patiently endured the long months
of pain and dismissal from his beloved
toll. The crisis came on last Satur-
day night. The long hours of tender
care and loving devotion from the tire
less mother and wife were finally end
ed when death came Sunday after
noon, April 10.
Mr.. Halstead was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Brook
ings, uniting with this society about
twelve years ago. He is mourned by
his wife, two sons, his father, K. w.
