What Might Occur
If Comet Hit Earth

WHENEVER e comet Is dis
covered approaching the earth
q dozen or more Imaginative fea-
ture-story writer's feel called upon
Immediately to describe in the
most thrilling and gruesone man
ner just what would be the dis
astrous result should the approach
ing comet disregard heavenly traf-
fic regulations and bump into the
earth head.on, As matter OF fact,
according to Isabel M. Lewis, au-
thority on the subject. the result
Of such q meeting would be far
from disastrous. In her latest
book, Astronomy for Young
Folks" Duffield 4 Coz, Miss Lewis
says:
''If the earth should encounter
q comet 'head-on' it is doubtful If
1t would experience anything more
serious than q shower Of meteors,
which would be consumed by fric-
ton with the earth's atmosphere,
or a fall Of meteorites over small
area of a few square miles. It il
possible, however, that matter in
the nucleus, the star-like conden-
sation in the head Of a comet, may
consist Of individual particles
weighing in some instances num-
Der Of tons, surrounded by q gas
eous envelope and held together
by the loose bonds Of their mutual
attraction. II the earth should en-
counter the nucleus Of q comet,
considerable damage might be done
over q portion Of the earth's sur
face, but the chances Of such an
occurrence are less than one in a
million"

charged Turkey. obedient to
what he believed to be q conn
mand, and for the welfare OF his
adopted country, Mr.. Strauss again
went to the Sublime Porte, this
time to find another Sultan i'm
muring himself in the royal
palace. This man, Mohammed
v. brother of Abdul 1amid, had
spent thirty-three years in "a
prison under close guard during
his lovely brothers rule. Mr..
Straus says he was evidently de-
ficient mentally. It was during
the rule Of this good natured
moron that the Young Turks"
seized the power of government.
While abroad on this third
Turkish. mission Mr.. Straus took
occasion to visit Salonica and
Athens, where he was received
by King George. then King Of
Greece. later meeting Roosevelt
on his way out OF Africa at
Cairo. His experiences with the
King and Queen and Rumania,-

Progressive campaign of 1912 are

No one has a better idea of
the war clouds which lowered
over Europe than Oscar Straus,
and he saw and foresaw them
coming together into a great
black thunderhead which broke
In 1914 and drenched the world
in blood. The situation in Eu-
rope for many years leading up
to the world war is graphically
told. not by ''dopester," but by
q well-equipped student and oh.
server who labored hard to keep
the peace.

self in the world war, during and
before American participation in
it, is given an interesting chapter.
The book concludes with the
Paris Peace Conference" at which
Stratus played a part which gave
him an interesting insight into
that tangle OF clashing ideas and
aims.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Straus has
chosen to end the book with his
views rather than his experiences,
chiefly lamenting that the Senate
did not choose to follow Woodrow
Wilson. and drag the country be.
hind It. into the League of Nations
chimera. Naturally, this can be
nothing but biased view-just as
mine is, no doubtful it seems to
me to strike a false note in an
otherwise beautiful harmony.

an American boy in France

Mr.. Holden has presented his
