be enticed with juicy grasshoppers
and other tempting tidbits. Once
they have been caught, they make
a very decided effort to regain their
freedom.
About the middle of August, many
anglers find the toothed herring a
spirited mooneye worth casting for,
and spend much time in central
Canada offering to these sporty
fish featered lures as we'll as fine
grasshoppers, grubs and other ma
tural bait.
A mooneye can leap high into
the air His strength holds out
for some time, but finally ebbs low.
The angler does not find the flesh
appealing because it is so dry and
full Of small bones.
Because these fish have not
reached economic importance, very
little time has been spent learning
about their private affairs. They
offer sport for the weary business
man, and they furnish food for the
more important food fishes while in
their small fry state, so perhaps,
they have more importance than
We realize.

about two centuries ago. Edmund
HALEY was the first man to bring
about clear proof that comet may
come back time after time.
HALEY said that certain bright
comet would return during or about
the year 1853. There was excite
ment among astronomers who
waited to see whether that would
happen.
Most of 1883 passed with no comet
in sight, but on the night before
Christmas it came into view. HALEY
by that time had been dead for is
years, but the comet was named in
his honor. 1t last appeared in 1910,
and is expected again in 1886. A
great many readers of this column
should be able to see it when that
year arrives.
Why does Halley's comet 60 out
OF sight, and where is it right now?
Astronomers have charted its
path, and it must be about as far
away from the sun right now as the
planet Neptune. In five more years
it should start back toward the
earth.
The average speed of Halley's
comet is less than three miles a
second, and during parts of it's
journey it travels only about one
mile second. It goes fastest when
it rounds the sun. Then it picks up
a speed of more than As miles a
second!
This comet cannot be seen today
because it is so far away. and because
it contains such small amount Of
solid matter. When less than 100.-
100000 miles from the sun, it shows
itself very brightly in the sky, with
its long tail spread out millions Of
miles behind it.
In our next story we shall have
more to say about the tails Of
comets

People In Europe wrote down only
a few notes about comets in ancient
times. The best records OF long ago
were left to us by the Chinese. Ono
comet on their list appeared In 240
BIC, and this one may have been
the one which later became known
as "Halley's comet"
Despite the old records Of the
Chinese, people knew nothing about
the regular routes Of comets until

The fish In this family are all
handsome and gamey. They have
little economic Importance as food
simply because we have an bundance
OF fish that supply us with better
favored flesh. But 1t is said by
many that smoked mooneye is deli

This family contains a solitary
genus with three species, inhabiting
the fresh waters of the Great Lakes
and the Mississippi Valley. The
member shown heer is better known
in The Mississippi Valley, the Great
Lakes region and northwestward to
as far as the Assiniboine River than

closely resembles. The herring is in

In the larger streams and lakes. They
are bright silvery above with an

slightly compressed. The eye is
especially large.

Chute MYSTERY
STILL UNS0LvED

Two days OF investigation and
search have not solved the mystery of
the parachutist reported to have
dropped from a plane flying at an ex-
tremely high altitude over the Tower
area at p. m. Tuesday.
No less than eight persons at Tower
said they saw the parachute.
The plane, believed to have been the
same one seen at Tower, was reported
to have been seen here. A local pilot
partially identified it as a Douglas
transport, but there has been no ad-
ditional information revealed to ex-
plain the mystery parachute.
FBI agents have been investigating
the reports, and Deputy Sheriff Adolph
DolenShak, Police Chief Douglas Nam
kervis, and Police Captain Joseph
Markovich have taken part in the in
veStigation.
