In which ? woman plays a thrill ing dramatic part, llerself a revolu tionary and the sister of Major Enver Iiey, Rhe was the wife of Nazinl Bey. the sultan's principal [>ollce spy at Sa lonikl. whose assassination., the com mittee of union and progress had de cided upon. She did not hesitate to help the murderer. She left the cur tains undrawn where she and her hus band were dining together and placed a strong light behind him. Then she sat watting tensely. Soon the shot rang out But the conspirator had bungled. Nazlm was only wounded. Six weeks later the miracle of the revolution was accomplished, and the committee, clement in their triumph, condemned Nazlm Bey not to death, but to exile, and would have exalted his wife into a heroine. But she, to Euver Bey's as tonishment, proposed to go and share her husband's lonely exile at Benghazi. "But, my sister," said Enver. "it Is unthinkable that you should suffer such a terrible fate. Moreover, the man is an Infamous spy. who deserves death. Why should you share his pub lic disgrace?" "He is my husband." she answered, "and I love him." "You love him! But were you not al ready a consenting and even abetting party to the death which was Intended for him?* "That is true. 1 was willing that he should die for the sake of our cause, but as he Is to live I shall live with him. Where he goes I shall go." So together the busband and wife went to Benghazi. ? Comparative.

I ? | Its Wild Race Through Space and the Speed It Attains. I CRASHING INTO THE EARTH,! What th# Result Would Ba if On# of The?e Light but Massive Wanderers of the Sky Wore to Swing Into a Head-on Collision With Our Planst. A large purt or the fear that great comets have always Inspired I* due to an Instinctive dread of their tremen dous power for evil. They look like be.su ii i. s uf destruction, and those who know nothing ubout astronomy accept them at their ap|)urent face value. And. in truth. If they could come within bitting distance of the earth they would do an enormous amount of damage, and some of them uiight he capable of putting tiie earth tem|H>ra rily out of com mission as uu Inhabited globe. Tlie terror that wus aroused In many quarters by llalley's comet in 1010 la sure to recur on the ap(>earance of any uew comet, so that it Ik worth while to consider what an evilly disused comet could do to the earth if it got a chance. There are two ways in which a comet could cause damage to the earth-drst. by running straight into it with 15,000 times the velocity of an express train and, second, by Infecting the atmos phere with the poisonous or stitiln^ gases contained in its tail. Let us consider the tirst case of ts comet shock Two things have to be taken Into account? nn mely. the velocity and the weight, of the colliding comet, eon sidercd as a gigantic projectile shot against the earth as a target. Comets are very deceptive in regtml to weight i?r mass They are enor mously large, but relatively very light The comet that appeared in 1801 tirst grazed the sun and then swept the earth with its tall. , ' Hal ley's comet also occupied vastly mote space than the earth, but a care ful estimate has shown that It prob ably did not weigh more than 30.000. 000 tons, which is much less than the weight of the material excavated to make the Panama canal. It might be thought, then, that the earth is In no 'more danger from such a comet than a battleship Is from a' boy's beau shooter. But now the veloc ity begins to come Into play. The speed of a comet at the earth's distance from the sun would be about twenty-six miles per second. A mass of 30.000,000 tons, shooting through space at a velocity of tweuty ?4* -miles per second would develop In round numbers about twenty qulntil llon loot pounds of energy, equivalent to tlie development In one second of thirty-six thousand miliiou million horsepower. Where the comet struck everything -rock, soil, vegetation? would be melt ed, vitrified and fcven vaporized In an instant, for all this tremendous energy would be turned into heat through the sudden and complete arrest of the swift motion of the comet. The (100 qulntllllous of "absolute units of en ergy" developed by the stopping of the comet would furnish enough beat to liquefy more than a million million tons of solid lronl The result would be a very big and a very deep hole In the earth. Thou sands of square miles would be more or less directly afTected by the terrific Impact, for the shock would be greater than that of the mightiest earthquake, and perhaps buildings would tumble Into ruin and mountains would shake off their fringes of rock in all parts of the globe, while the sea would hurl itself in whelming tidal waves upon every coast and drown all the low ly ing islands. The atmospheric disturbances would also be enormous. The sudden devel opment of great heat at the point of collision would unbalance the air cur rents and destructive and capricious winds would blow to and fro over the earth. \ We have only a little space left to consider the effects of a collision be tween the earth and the tall of . comet This is something that has actually occurred two or three times within a century. As already said, the cpmet of 1861 enveloped the earth# with the spreading end of its tall for a few hours, and in 1910 Hailey's comet brushed Its tail over the earth, byt apparently the electric repulsion developed prevented the gases of the tail from entering the atmosphere. It is possible that In every case this would occur, so that electricity may be our effective guardian against dele terious substances that might other wise be Introduced into the atmos phere from the switching talis of close passing comets.?
