New Comet Coming.

a FAINT comet, which may, how.
ever, become bright enough to be
seen by the unaided eye as q small
| patch of light. has been discovered by
Prof. Richard Schorr of the Bergedorf
Observatory. near Hamburg, Ger
many, according to advices received
at Cambridge by Or. Harlow Shapeley,
director OF the Harvard College Oh.
servatory.
The celestial visitor is said to be
cred in 1890 by p. F. Mechain at the
Paris Observatory. After this it was
lost until 1858, when G. w. Tuttle,
then at the Harvard Observatory, re-
discovered IL and found that 1t was
periodic, returning to the neighbor-
hood of the earth every Ia years. Now
It has returned for the fifth time since
his observation.
At present It is of the eleventh mag
nitude, so that 1t can only be seen with
the aid of telescope of moderate
power. It is in the constellation of
the Sextant, below the bright star
Regulus, which is directly south about
o'clock in the evening. Regulus is
at the end Of the handle Of the Sickle. u
group of stars in the constel-
lation OF the Lion resembling that
gardening implement. The comet is
moving toward the northeast, SO that
it is coming into a better position for
observation. AS it is not a very large
comet, however, and when nearest is
farther away from the earth than the
sun, we will not get very close view
Of It at the best.

a chance to look at the sporting page
Of the evening paper.
Ever since the pres. of our Ladies'

why naturally l try to do so, and
base ball was no exception. ] felt
like was little behind on this line,
not having gone TO game since
the Yale. Princeton 1900 one, and
wanted I should be able to chat with
Geo. intelligently.
Well. Great Caesars hair cut!
certainly picked up lot of news about
base ball right on that one page. To
commence with, there was a feller
writing in the paper and he says ''in
figuring the chances of the eight clubs
in the Natl league 1t is impossible
to get away from the y. Y. Giants as
first choice" Just imagine. only 8
clubs, when there is nine players. And
with all the money they take in! And l
personally myself had always thought
they called them bats,
But that wasn't all. There was an
other piece which 1 cut out to call 10
the attention of our Audubon Society,
it was a short notice, and all 1t says
was Yanks Trounce Robins. Some
way for them boys to treat them poor
birds. Hot BoZo!
It certainly struck me as funny. too.
how all kinds OF news come out on
this page. such as line to the effect
Senators Come Back" and another
in the same column, headed Birming-
ham, which announced where some
Barons had beat some Senators badly,
and 1t give the names of all parties.
but I didn't recognize none of them as
ever having been in the Capitol, but
then I don't read the papers much.
However, one item struck me as real
sensible. It says Fans Active as

me to talk, so l says who is the bird
In the dark business suit, dear, the
one that forge to leave the com.
forter at home on the bed but has
brought 1t on his chest?
And Geo. says oh he's the umpire
the feller that teaches the players
elocution, he says.
| And then I says. and who is the
one with his face in a cage? do them
! players bite. sometimes?
And Geo. says, nav. they only
growl. that one probably swings a
| mean mouth, he says, and SO they
have had to muzzle him.
Well | declare, ! says, II certainly
is interesting out here, what is that
| feller walking out TO that first bag
for. honey. he didn't hit the ball?
And Geo. says no. but IL hit him
that's just as good where some play
ers is concerned.
Well. about then l noticed where
way off acrost the field there was a
man working out a big cross word
! puzzle on a blackboard ten feet high
or more.
He had put in a terrible lot of
"O's" so far. and then a a. and
says why do they let him do that
while the game is going on? l says.
| l should think the players might get
/ interested and stop paying attention
to the game?
And Geo. says that is a crossword
puzzle he's at, all right. but 1t at the
same time just happens to be the
! scoreboard as well.
| And as he says that a telephone

and he went off to answer it. and an
! other boy off the bench took his place
with loud cheers from the audience.
Say dear. ! says. who is that bird
they are yelling for? And Geo. says
why that is Sam Smith, the famous
| pinch hitter. And / says Hot Bozo,
pinch hitter. eh, how l pity his poor
wife, the brute. And Geo. says aw
keep quiet. can'tcha- he's conner bat.
Well. this boy took up a club. see.
and the player in the middle of the
field threw ball at him after sud
