EARTH TO RACE WITH COMET So Says Observatory of V. S. of California. Expect Meteoric Shower Jun0 27. Beekly, Cal. April 28?For a month this summer the earth will engage in a race with the pediolic comet PonsWincake and because it will have no chance to win, it will endeavor through astral influence to trip up its gaseous rival according to a report made public today by the observatory of the University of California. The oarth will not get into the race until the comet has a lead of between twelve and twenty million miles, but Hinn I* ??ll * ? ?- ? ?uvu ii win i?ui everjiaiug it nas Into itB tests with the couret. The "tripping up" process of perturbation caused by the earth influence will pull the comtoft away from Its course somewhat but it will continue to plunge along the cosmic speedway at an undiminishable pace. It will oap its supremacy finally when, on June 27. it flips its tall so hard against its terrestrial rival that the impact wll 1 send out sparks. Thesto will go down in the record as a meteoric shower. The comet, at last calculation, was approximately 37,000,000 miles from the earth. Its nearest approacn a ill be 132 of an astronomical unit, or twelve million miles, on Jun0 7, and shortly thereafter the race will begin. At the greatest brilliancy observable from the earth the comet will be of the eighth or ninth magnitude. Nothing greater than the sixth magnitude can be observed by the naked eye. so the world at large will see nothing of the visitor until the tail-1 flipping episode, on June 27. However, the earth's attraction for the comet may be so great that new cal-1 culations may be necessary when the race gets under way. Any potential prophecies that the comet will do great damage to the earth are out of order, the observatory states. On the other hand, the metoric shower, if it develop as anticipated, will prove to be a harmless, If inspiring, spectacle. I SMOTHERS5* a | \ For Three Cenarttiona Jl I l9 Havo Mad* Child-Birth.

With proper precautions a starving annual will recover complete health, but the same animal if deprived of sleep will die? and in much less time than it would take to starve him. The Chinese long ago knew that truth; one of their favorite forms of torure was \\j accji u iuuii lurciuiy awaie UQTU he either went mad or died. Many people are mistaken in thinking that they suffer from complete insomnia; for "complete insomnia," extending over any long period, can be maintained only by alert and active watchers. Nevertheless, many people do suffer from gravely Insufficient sleep. On th? other hand, many people sleep too much, either because they think they need a great deal of sleep or because they have inactive brains, or undeveloped consciousness. Young and healthy children, savagfes and all adults of low intelligence are likely to fall asleep the minute they become quiescent, j So, too, persons who hav0 anaemia or any other disorder that checks the! flow of blood to the brain sleep too n uch and too easily. Should we keep the brain quiet as the normal hour of sleep approaches? That which healthy children do automatically adults should do as the result of observation and reason. Persons who doubt their power to sleep through the night should scrupulously refrain from heated arguments, prolonged talk of any kind, exciting plays, indigestible suppers and tea and coffee, especially coffee. Many people who are susceptible to the | stimulus of coffee learn that, if they would fall asleep, they must forego i u iui luiiu > iiuais u?riui tf uiey go 10 jbcd. o A prisoner in St. Paul, Minnesota, ;paid in full five victims of his forIgory.
