COMET-FINDING NOW EASY Work of Picking Up "Heavenly Visi tors" Haa Been ftoduped to a Scientific Basis. Seven comets which have been seen on previous occasions are expected to return to the vlclalty of the earth this year. If they all keep their ap pointments, and the average nutn- * ber of new comets turn up, astfonomera will have ut least a full dozen under observation between now and Decem ber 81. But there 1h reason to fear that some of the seven old cornets have met with mishaps while bowling along through space, and that they have either been Khattercd Into un recognisable debris, or diverted Into quite different orbits. There Is. how ever, little ronmnoo now In comet llndlng, as was the case when heroic comet-hunter? swept the skies all night in the hope of dropping on one. Now they set traps for them ? combina tion of telescopes and cameras turn ing In unison with the rotation of the earth on Its axis ? and go to bed until morning, when they develop the plates and examine them for the tell-tale marks which betray any comets that may have entered the region of the sky thus photographed. Snake Causing Reign of Terror. A South Rhodeslan farmer wrote to the director of the Port Elizabeth museum for advice on the disposal of a great tnnmba which Inhabited a wooded kopje on his farm. "The snake," said the farmer, "has already - accounted for two natives and over 1 IK) other victims in the shape of fowls, Hosts, calves and dogs, when over anything ventures within the pre cincts of the snake's haunts It dart* from cover, strikes, and retires lntc the undergrowth agnin like a tlash. A glimpse Is. all that Is ever seen of till? death-dealing reptile." The farmer states that the natives In tin- vicinity regard the snake with superstitious awe, declaring It to be the reincarna tion of Lobengula. who seeks revengt fur pnpt wrongs. r.ohenguht was the king of Matabele Land and was long feared as a powerful warrior and per sl>tetit opponent of Christianity and civilization In bis kingdom.

SHAM LEADERS OF MANKIND Much Tln??| Among Many Personage# That Figure Prominently In the Pagaa of History. Louis XIV of France was m flue specimen of- the sham leader. He was the man who, descending the steps of Ills lit Versailles Just Hrt his chariot drove up, s?l<l to the couch man, "I nearly had to wait." He It was who remarked to his wife, when she ventured to criticize a decision, "We | have taken you, madam, so that you might Klve and not that you might give us advice." He made an immortnt. phrase "The state, that's me." He was splendid ; embroidered and Jeweled clothes, fine nasal promfneuce, vast wig, cai>acity for unlimited rude ness, self-satisfaction so great that he needed a duke to hand him his shirt, and a marquis to If old the spittoon. Behind that, nothing except his opinion that in war, poetry, painting, riding, he was supreme. Some one rather like him had a fall Just bofore the armistice. Louis XIV spent his life In spread ing throughout France famine and glonf, thqse bosom friends; he patron ized the arts as an arbiter of fashion; In the last portion of his life he chose generals f?*r their elegance, rather than for their methods. lie left behind him nothing but ruins, which before the end of the century were cleared up by the French Revolution. Many such frauds live In history: Lorenzo the Magnificent, Charles V of Spain, Charles XII of Swoden. They glitter through the pages, but we know that the true man may bo Imitated as easily as the genuine diamond. Their glow tends to throw pallor over the real people, such as Bolivar, Lin coln, Bismarck, Oambetta. They deceive us. they taint our Idea of lea'ders; they prevent us from rec ognizing among the men in shining armor those who are clad In well-pol ished cans. ? W. L. George, In Harper's Magazine. Getting the Facts. J It is not considered primarily a gov emment function to te^st the truth of sayings. But scientists of the United States bureau of entomology have pre pared a test for one- at least. They have devised a gate with a meter de vice to ba placed at the entrance to a beehive. A telephone attachment thereto records electrically the passage of every bee as It goes out for honey. What If the machine should shatter a tradition, and prove that a bee Isn't busy? What If this time clock showed he hung around the house every other day? We shall soon know what to think of this bee creature 1 It Is Just as well for a phrase-lazy race that no one tnkes the trouble to prove whether a cat Is weak, whether a dog gets especially tired, whether a flsh drinks more than he ought, and whether a lark Is happy.? New York Sun. The Real Difference. "I can't see why that man Is boss over me. I do most of the won* around here." "I guess that's so." "It Is. I know more about the busi ness than he does. Whenever he wants to know anything about what's going on, he comes to me to find out." "That's usually the way." "I'm the fellow that ought to be the boss." "A lot of men think that way, and yet there's one big difference. He kntfws something that you don't know." "What is it?" "He knows enough to hire good men like you to do the work. If you knew that you'd be the boss, and he'd be In your place." ? Detroit Free Press. His Part of the Jotx He was testifying in broken Eng lish before Judge Frank J. Lahr, In Juvenile* court. Ho was charged with nonsupport, and naturally denied the allegation. "I work, Judge, your honor, I work," he sputtered. "What do you do?" he was asked. "I am a plumber man." "Well. Jyou ought to make good money, then," the court said. "Oh, T don't make so much money," hastily returned the prisoner. "I don't do a regular plumbing Job." "Well, Just what do you <Jo?" "Me? Why, I, dig trenches for the pipes. That's the plumber I am." ? Indianapolis News. Frenchman Inventor of Airplane. M. Clement Ader of Paris, credited j with being the Inventor of the air- j plane, went to Algeria to study the , flight of vultures, and to Alsace to ! watch the storks. He watched them | so attentively, circling round a fort- ? resa In course of construction, that he was arrested as a spy, and it waa with ! the greatest difficulty that he per- j suaded the German authorities that he ; hoped to discover the secret of flight and not the military secrets of Al- ! sace.
