The telephone
and Good Roads
The telephone goes hand in hand with good
roads.
... ? .
The telephone overcomes many of the obsta
cles of bad roads and makes it possible for the
farmer and other rural residents to transact busi
ness in the city and with neighbors when the
roads are' impassable.
Progressive farmers are insisting upon good
roads and telephones. These two agencies of
modern civilization are doing more than all others
toward eliminating the isolation of country life.
You can have a telephone in your home at vwy
small cost. Send a postal for our free booklet

sat watting tensely. Soon the shot rang

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

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,

him. Where he goes I shall go."

FLIGHT OF A COMET
.* ?? 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.? Garret P. Servlss in
