Comets Tail Breaks All Speed
ReporJe

One of the most remarkable things
about comets is the presence of a
tail. Not all have them. Many pos
sess such appcndages. and some
make marvellous displays. However,
the tail appears to be a transient
affair, somehow due to the comets
proximity to the sun. A periodic
comet which displays a magnificent
tail with one appearance may show
little or nothing of this character nm
on another occasion.
AS 4 typical comet swings swiftly
round the sun. the tail seems TO swing
around as well. Always it stretches
from the comet in a direction away
from the sun. AS the tail NAV be
many millions or miles i'm length. an
explanation is needed to cover the
question as to how is is possible in n
lew days to swing the tail through an
arc OF $50 degrees. Some comets are
extraordinarily rapid movers as they
round the sun. Thus the periodic
comet of 1913, reached in its swing
around. the wonderful velocity of 300
miles per second. However, it is
more particularly the rapid angular
swing of the tail that needs explana-
tion. IL the tail is precisely the same
obJect throughout, 72-hour swing of
loo.O00.0O0 miles of tail through two
lisht angles would mean that the
terminal particles covered an arc
considerably over 10000 900 miles
long at the rate of some 600 miles
per second.

Whv Teeth Chatter

The little muscles which close the
paw are acted upon by the cold in
such a way that they pull the jaw
up and let it fall ~ it's own weight.
This, repeated many times. causes
the teeth to click together. and pro-
duces what is called "chattcring.
You think of it in connection with
your teeth because it is the teeth
which makes the sound, but the
cause lies in the muscles used in
chewing or in opening your mouth
when YOU speak. The chattcring oc-
cures in spite OF the will or brain.
You have little control over it, and
can stop it only by clinching the
teeth. 1t is really mild variety of
spasms caused by the cold, which
acts on the jaw muscles in much the
same way that some posons produce
muscular spasms which cannot be
controlled Popular Science.

Marks End Of Strike

Washington, Sept. 2.-Warm graft
fcation was expressed by administra-

thracite operators at a meeting in
Philadelphia had agreed to accept the

end of the hard coal tie-up after five
months duration, would not only have
a marked effect on the general indus

Cocoanuts as Wealth

Wealth and rank on the island of
Nauru, in the South seas. are gagged
by cccoanut trees. To own much CO.
coanut land is wealth and aristocra-
cy; to own none is beggary: in the
old time it was slavery. Some men
have made good thing. as reckoned
in the islands, by marrying brown
brides rich in cocoanut land.
The land is cut up into very small
plots, usually described by square
rods and roods instead Of acres. The
title to the trees does not pass with
the land, but is separate tfansac-
ton. One may buy piece of land,
but cannot use the nuts and the ma
tive owner has the right to come up
on ones promises to gather teddy and
nuts. The trees arc not only reck-
oned by count, but the nuts arc
reckoned by count. In normal times
the crop is continuous. blossoms,
green and ripe fruit being on the
trees at the same time. -National Ge-

CannibaIistic Sea GulIs

1t is not generally realized how
great an enemy the sea gull is to
smaller birds. An observer ventures
the opinion that the reason why
small migrants invariably cross the
sea by night is that otherwise they
would be simply eXterminated by
gulls. Sometimes it happens that a
change in the wind delays the arrival
of flights of spring migrants, so that
they fail to make landing before
daylight. Lighthouse keepers have
then witnessed scenes of savage
slaughter: hundreds of poor, tired, lit
tic songsters being hunted down by
gulls, seized and devoured.
Year by year in England gulls work
further and further inland, and in bad
weather may be seen almost any
where. even in the Midlands. In
deed on one occasion a number were
noticed in a flooded meadow near
bennington, a town which claims to
be almost the geographical center of
England.

Mental Processea

Mental habit is the great enemy Of
consciously correct action. 1t is the
subconscious mind that gets in the
way and causes all the trouble. for
it seems to be one function of the
subconscious mind to relieve the con-
scious mind Of the burden Of direct
thinking with regard to many Of our
routine actions. A mental process
Of some sort is connected with every
physical act, but it is amazing to
learn the extent to which these men
tai processes are conducted by the
subconscious mind. A good part OF
what the average man does every
day is done literally without think
ing, so far as conscious thought Is
concerned.
