"WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1910. Tho wealth in nations; as of men,, consists in substance, not in ciphers. Ituskin. Not to be in tho least peevish nor to bo trite, but in the hope of stimulating investigation, we rise to ask, "Why is a comet?" A muffler, a pnir of overshoes and an umbrella might bo a suit able escutcheon for this spring. Exchange; Speaking of cclestinl sculdal "what's up" in the heavenly cir cles?

Back in tho days when wo wore out the knocs of our stockings crawling around on the brussels carpet in the days when wo had to be fed with a big spoon we used to cut pictures out of mag azines and books for amusement. The old Delineators, seed cata logues and farm journals were saved for that special purpose. Wo have quit crawling. Few of us have to be fed with a big spoon. But some of lis do cut pictures out of hooks and maga zines and valuable books tit that. A number of book's in the ., library have been mutilated in this way. This shows a decided need for a kindergarten in the university. -a 'Twas only a little dandelion. But as it happened, this particu lar dandelion was of a new spe cies. Now dandelions aro not as uncommon as they might bo on the university campus, but this particular dandelion has never been seen in this vicinity. In fnct, Dr. Bessey says he never saw it closer than the St. Louis botanical gardens. Tho full and dire import of this discovery is not at. first ap parent. But listen. Tho campus already presents a bleak and oma ciated appearance through its struggle for freedom from the yellow peril. And still tho dan- delion is seen on tho few un- scraped patches of lawn that re- main. Let tho new dandelion join with the old in this war for con quest and where will it ond7 The campus will .bo destroyed, the flowor beds nri'd trees will bo a thing of the past, the fence will be undermined and fall, the roots clinging m crevices in the stone will destroy the buildings and the few remaining students will Hnnlly bpcomo blinded by tho drizzling yellow sea and perish "while wandering through the maze of blossoms. "WHY IS A COMET?" BY I PROFESSOR SWEZEY Continued from Page 4 posed to be either directly pre ceding or succeeding the comet, and to follow in a straight linor- Both of these suppositions wcro false. It was discovered that, be cause of a sharp deflection in tho course of tho comet, the tail was estranged from the comet. This is the reason why at the time tho comet was known to bo in tho west, the tail was seen as before in he eastern skies very early in the morning. To be more ex plicit, the tail of the comet was thirty-four hours behind tho head. Even under such circum stances it might have passed through a part of the earth's surface had it not been curved. Explains Gurvaturo. The curvature, when known to exist, is easily explained. Tho comet, in tho vicinity of the sun, has dovcloped its highest rate of speed. The little gaseous par ticles thrown off are soon mil lions of miles from tho head of tho comet. At this juncture, how ever, the head of the comet starts off in a lino almost direct ly perpendicular to its. tail. This causes tho tail to fonn a gigantic somicirole or hoop at the farth est end. TIu'b is what took place at the time when the tail was believed to bo encompassing the earth. Another uniquo and needed ex planation given by Professor Swezey was the reason why at times the tail of tho comet is seen to precede the head. The gaseous substance, coming from the head and composing tho tail of the comet, is expelled because of some repulsive effect the sun has upon tho comet's head. It is always observed to bo extend ing in the direction away from the sun. Consequently, while the head is approaching tho sun, tho tail naturally follows. It was in this condition' that most of the comet-seekers saw it. While the head is going from tho sun, how ever, the tail likewise precedes the head, contrary to all laws of nature." Because of limited time, Pro fessor Swezoy was compelled to discontinue his discourse; In. so doing, ho cordially invited all to hear tho continuation of tho same at tho next appearance of H alley '8 "protege, ENGINEERS WILL MEET.
