Monday, nml win received officially
by Gen. Sir Reginald Wingute, gov

hair of both the F.gypttnn and English
governments. The ex-presldent was
met here by Mrs. Roosevelt anil Miss
Ethel mid by a host of American mid
European correspondents and ntimcr
ous delegations of political and other
friends from the United States. In
fact this historic town Is literally
filled with visitors brought hero to
greet tho ic'iimlng traveler.
With hlu arrival at this place, Col.
Roosevelt completed one of the most
notable journeys through the wilder
iioss or Africa that has been underta
ken since the days of Livingstone and
Stanley P was a. remarkable jour

Hickncsa of every kind. Ordinarily a
traveler, through tho regions through
which Col. Hoosovclt hati passed,
comes out of the Jungues loaded with
malaria and fever germs. Up to tho
present time, neither Col. Itoosovolt
nor any of his party have shown any
Hyniptom3 of having contracted any
of the numerous contagious diseases.

The town of Khartum Is a. mass of
color. Flags of Egypt, England and
America aro everywhere, and the ex
president has probably appreciated
nothing more than the opportunity of
visiting this historical spot.
Khartum Is virtually built around
tho grave of "Chinese" Gordon. Tho
city Itself is a gigantic monument to
that soldier's deeds nml his heroic
death. In tho center of it stands his
effigy In bronze, mounted on a camel,
Gazing with fixed eyes out toward
tho desert which mocked him during
tho tcrrlblo year that ho lay there
waiting for relief. Hehlnd the statuo
stands tho British governor's palace,
an Imposing structure In tho Gothic
style, typical of Urltlsh power and
Urltlsh permnnenco.

' Not far away Is tho Gordon Memori
al college, a school built with funds
raised by Gen. Kltchoner by subscrip

which tho Sudnneso newer generation
is trained for service In the govern

Edmund llnlley was probably one of
the most Industrious nnd sagacious
astronomers that ever lived. At New
ton's request ho made a thorough In
vestigation of tho movements and the
laws governing the comet of K82, and
boldly declared its Identity with those
of ll.'.fi, l.VU and 1G07. Ho predicted
it would return In the year 1758, and
true to Its period, it did return, and
was "picked up" by an amateur as
tronomer on Chrlstmns day, of that
year. And this Is why It came to bo
known as Ilnlley's comet.
Orbit of Halley'o Comet.
When this comet appeared in 145C
tho belief was general, among all tho
classes, that It "would destroy the
world. Much has been said and writ
ten about l'ope Cullixtus III, with ref
erence to that visitation. I'lntlna,
who was archivist at the Vatican, says
that the-astronomers and mathematic
ians had predicted pestllonco nnd dire
calamines and the Pope ordered sup
plications to avert these and to divert
them to the Turks, who at that tltno
threatened to overwhelm Christen
dom. The ringing of bells was ord
ered not to affright tho comet, but to
remind tho faithful to pray in behalf
of those who were in mortal combat
with the Turks.
There Is nothing particularly extra
ordinary about their forebodings of
disaster. Nearly four hundred yoars
later, In 18,10, the French government
called upon her ablest astronomers
and mathematicians to determine, on
mathematical principles, how mnny
chances of collision there would he
between the earth and comet at the
return that year,' and they reported
there was Just ono chance In 281,000,
000. And now, today, tho scientists
of tho world profoundly. learned 'n
physics and astrophysics are speculat
ing on what tho consequences will bo
