Halley * Comet Will Soon bo Visible
11? Nnk??i l rc
Now that IfaMey's comet is rapidly
approaching the earth, and Is soon to
become an object of great popular In?
terest, the puhllc will desire to know
the leading facts concerning this fa?
mous celestial visitor, ami to learn
something of i'-. e\entt'al history. In
lust what part of the heavens it is at
present, when and where it may be
seen hest. wtsM it will be nearest the j
earth, and what danger, if any. is
there of a collision with our globe,
?re some of the questions that ore
naturally asked.
The comet is at present In the con?
stellation Pisces. a'?out half way from
the senith down t I the western horl
son at dark, and about eight degrees
west of the plan t Saturn. It la not
yet visible to UM naked eye. and as It
is approaching th > sun. it will soon be
lost In his rays till about April I,
%" |When It will reappear In the morning
sky ahead of the sun. On March 24
It will be on the opposite side of the
sun from us. and on April 20 it will
pass it* p.>ri!:.'' M at I distanc. Oi
54.000.000 miles from the sun.
n? en in Mornln ;.
^ From that time till Ma] II it wil'
be a glorious spectacle in the morning
heavens. On May 18 It will pass di?
rectly between the earth and he sun.
when It will be only 12.000.000 miles
from US. As It sweeps rapidly by US
It will pans from the morning to the
^evening sky again, and after a few
^*eeks It will bid adieu for Its long
journey Into the depths f space, not
to return to us again in three-fourths
of a century.
As It rushes by us on May 18 It w ill
paaa dlreetl> over thn disc of the sun.
and a fine opportunity will be afforded
9 to test by observation the size anc
character of the nucleus. If It con?
sists of solid particles of considerable
slse. or of dense aggregation. It will
be projected as a dark mass against
the bright face of the sun. but If it is
Acomposed of gas only, or of very small
^particles whb ly diffused, It will pass
across the sun as an Invisible mass.
It Is not improbable that the earth at
that time may become involved In the
nebulosity of its tail, but the matter
composing the tall Is so extremely
. *.enuous that the garth will In all
^probability pass through it without
any sensible effect. The transit of the
comet across the face of the sun will
take place during the night on the
weetem hen.i ,1c rc and hence we
eould not see it bul setrono*

The orbit of Halley's comet Is a
very elongated eclipse, extending out
Into space 500.000.000 mile? beyor.d
the orbit of Neptune. At '.ts perihe?
lion Its distance from the sun Is 54.
?Jrouo.ftitii miles. <?r sonn w h it less than
the distance of the planet Venus. It
makes a revolution arounc the sun In
about 75 years, though owing to the
disturbing effect of the larger planets
on its motion, this period m; y vary
^pne or two years. Its motion in its
ms>rbit is retrograde; that is, it moves
around the sun in an opposite direc?
tion to that of the planets. Its orbit
Is Inclined about IS degrees to ghc
plane of the earth's orbit, and these
two orbits are ?o related that a col?

There Is much uncertainty about
the composition of cometary masses,

Halles comet received its name
from Edmund Halley, a distinguished
Bngllah astronomer, who observed it
Ig |g|1 and who predicted its return
in 1759. His prediction was based up?
on the fact that its orbit in 1682 was
nearly identical w ith that of 1607 and
till. He also found In hlatory refer?
ences to remarkable comets in 1450,
1301, 1145 and 1066. As the interval
between the returns of these comets
was about TT. years, he concluded that
they were one and the same body, and
this conclusion proved to be correct.
Cameed Sensation.
The history of Halley's OOmct, as it
has been traced back through the
ages by its period of 75 years, Is quite
eventful, In 1066 it was regarded as
the forerunner of the victory of W11?
dam of Normandy. Its size then was
equal to that of the full moon. In
14 56 Its tail reached from the hori?
zon to the zenith, and the wildest ex
<-dement prevailed. Indeed, at every
return of this remarkable comet the
nations of the earth have looked upon
it with awe. Its first recorded appear?
ance was 130 B. C.i when it was sup?
posed to herald the birth of Mithrl
dates.
At this return the conditions will be
very favorable for a mannificent view
? I this historic celestial visitor, and
the impressions made upon the minds
of those who behold it will doubtless
remain throughout life.

Mi\\ CATTLE DISEASE.
< >i? i i?r*?ii k of Symptomatic Anthrax
(Black Leg) Have Recently Oc?
curred \tltong Herds of ( aide in
This Suite, \ccorcling to Author
It lea,
Outbearki of Symptomatic Anthrax
(Bla ;< Leg) have recently occurred
among h< rds of cattle In Tork and
Chester counties, This disease may
devel< i> at any teuton of tht year,
but motl of the cases reported for
tht past few years have occurred In
the spring. Young cattle, between
tlx montht Of age, are most frequent?
ly affected although older cattle may,
In very ran caset, contract the dis?
ease.
This disease, which usually ter?
minates fatally within a few hours
after the appearance of the lirst
symptom, is caused by micro or?
ganisms which pain entrance to the
body through small wounds of the
skin. Large wounds are not favor
ablt for the growth and multiplica?
tion of these micro organisms be
oautt these cannot develop in the
presence of oxygen, but smaller
wounds (such as might be caused
by briers, stubble, thorns, etc., offer
ideal conditions f?>r the entrance
and growth of the grms. Infection
through the digestive tract is high?
ly Improbable as experiments have
shown that cattle may consume large
quanltttles of virulent material with?
out developing this disease.
The tymptont of the disease are
characteristic and therefore it is
easily recognised. The first symp?
tom usually shown is a swelling
under the skin which, when pressed,
gives forth a cracking sound due to
the formation of gas in the diseased
tissues. These swellings, which may
occur in any portion of the body, (ex
COpt on the tail or below the knee
and peek joints) are cool and painless
and the skin over them has a dry,
lifeless appearance. If incised, the
tissues beneath are found greatly dis?
colored and filled with bloody liquid.
Many persons consider this condition
due to a blow or other Injury and do
not recognize the dangerous character
of the disease. Other symptoms are:
High fever, loss of appetite, quicken?
ed respiration?difficult and tlow
movements of the body and great de?
pression. After death decomposition
takes place very rapidly. The blood
is found in apparantly normal con?
dition and coagulates rapidly. The
llVtr appears conjested. but the spleen
is normal. The Intestinal mucous
membrane, is sometimes highly in
flamed and the Intestines may contain
blood. The abdominal cavity may
with wood, A few quarts of kerosine
should be poured over this and the
entire carcass cremated. Where wood
is scarce and this cannot be done the
carcass should be buried to the depth
Of six feet and well covered with lime.
The surface of the grave and the
ground on which the carcass lay
ttlOUld be thoroughly disinfected. The
ttablt should also be disinfected and
all bedding burned. It is also advis?
able to burn over the pastures, in
which animals have died from the
disease, if this is possible. The treat?
ment of affected animals is very un?
satisfactory owing to the fact that
the dis< ate It so quickly fatal. Every
effort should be dircted towards pre
ventlg its spread rather than attempt
to cure animals already affected.
When an outbreak occurs all cattle
between six months and two years of
age sicmhi be moved to other pastures
where they can lie kept until vaccina?
ted, As calves under -six months old
are very rarely affected, it is only nec?
essary to vaccinate those between
also contain a bloody fluid in some
instances.
Owing to the danger of spreading
infection these swelling! beneath
the skin thould not be opened in th
stables or pastures neither, should
post mortem examinations be held
when- other animals may come in
contact with the germs of the dis?
ease,
.\rtcr th< disease is recognised it
is not advisable to make postmortem
examinations nor to attempt surgical
treatment owing to the fact that the
spores of these germs retain their
virulence ror years outside the body
mal consequently cause outbreaks ol
the disease during following seasons.
For this reason great care should
also be exercised In the disposal of
d* ad animals. Cremantlon Is the only
sate method of disposing of these car?
casses and may be accomplished In
the following manner: \ shallow
trench should he dug and green logs
ild across this; the carcass can tic n
he placed or. these |o':s and covered
these limits. In localities where the
disease appears each year all suscep?
tible cattle chould be vaccinated be?

?OAllI) OF HEALTH MEETING.
Regular Medical Inspection of School*!
Recommended.
a regular monthly meeting of the
city Board of Health was held Tuesday
evening. Present: Dr. E. S. Booth
President; Dr. E. R. Wilson. Mr. R.
K. Wilder, and City Engineer W. L.
Lee and Health Officer E. I. Rear
don.
Health Officer Reardon recom?
mended that the scope of the work
of the City Physician be enlarged BO
as to embrace quarterly medical In?
spections of the city schools, and
pyhstcian to the poor of the city with?
in such reasonable regulation as may
be adopted. He requested that the
Board of Health suggest this to the
City Council, with the approval of the
Superintendent of Education, and City
r.oard of Education, In so far as med?
ical inspection of the schools are con?
cerned.
This officer also requested the en?
dorsement of the Board of Health in
regard to his request that the Wa?
ter Works Commissioners suppl>
Kendal Institute, colored, with water
as this school is under the jurisdic?
tion of the City Board of Education,
and does a work of teaching several
hundred pupils, and employs six
teachers therefor, which relieves the
city of a big expense which would
otherwise fall upon the city.
He desires that every possible safe?
guard be thrown around the health of
the pupils of the schools and thinks
that pure drinking water, and doing
away with hundreds of children
drinking from a common bucket at
Kendal Institute is a matter of im?
portance to the general health of the
city for reasons patent to all Intel
igent people.
The Health Officer also directed at?
tention to the fact that Turkey Creek
Canal Is In a very bad shape, being
filled with sand and other matter.
That this main drain of the city has
been in such unsanitary shape for
more than a year, that the canal
overflows the low lands adjacent to
this ditch. That hundreds of people's
health are endangered thereby, and
that in some Instances the city ditches
are filled with water that is backed
up in said ditches by the water from
the canal.
City Engineer Lee confirmed the
statement of the Health Officer and
thought that the condition of the ca?
nal was dangerous from a standpoint
of health.
The board adopted a motion en?
dorsing the suggestions of the Health
Officer In regard to medical inspection
of schools, pyhslclan to the poor, Wa?
ter for Kendal Institute, and the ne?
cessity for cleaning out Turkey Creek
canal. The Health Officer was direct?
ed to take such steps ;is he saw fit to
firing about the Inspection of the
schools, and the cleaning out of Tur?
key Creek canal by communicating
with City Council. Board of Education
and the Water Works Department.

AFTER THE COLLISION.
Effects Upon the Nerves of Wreck*
U?on the Rails.
A wreck sometimes upsets even the
most iron nerved. Once the wreck
master on his arrival noticed a bare?
headed man in overalls, covered with
coal dust and blood, silting beside his
engine with tears running down his
face. He recognized him as the en?
gineer, w ho had been hauled out a few
tAinutes before from under the mass
of twisted, battered steel that had
once been a locomotive. Singularly
enough, beyond a few cuts and bruises
he was unhurt. lie was crying be?
cause he could not find his cap that
he had bought new that day and beg?
ged the wreck master to help him
hunt for it.
A passenger conductor of a train
that was derailed and had plunged
down an embankment crawled out of
the confusion and rendered cool and
efficient help during the half hour be?
fore the wreck train arrived. A little
later the wreck master chanced to
look around and saw the conductor
standing beside him holding a match?
box to his ear and shaking it. Pres?
ently he put it back in his pocket, but
took it out again in a moment and
repeated his action.
"What's the matter with you?"
asked the wreck master.
"My watch has stopped. I can't get
it to going, and I don't know what
time It is." answered* the conductor,
still listening to his matchbox.
The wreck master took the conduct?
or by the shoulders and shook him
roughly. Then he "came to."?Thad
deus S. Dayton in Harper's Weekly.
MADE SURE OF IT.
The Gift Was Delayed, but the Groom
Got the Bird.
A wealthy patron of the turf in New
York told an amusing story of a fa?
vorite groom and a turkey.
"I had once promised this groom,"
he said, "a Christmas turkey, but
somehow in the rush and flurry of
December I forgot it It was some
days after Christmas when I remem?
bered how I had overlooked my faith?
ful old friend.
"Meeting him in the paddock one
morning and intending to make good
my forgetfulness, I said to the groom
by way of a Joke:
11 'Well, Jenkins, how did you like
that turkey I sent you?'
" 'It was a very fine bird, sir,' said
the groom. 'I came very near losing it,
though.'
" 'How so?' said I, astonished.
'"Well, sir,' said Jenkins, 'Christ?
mas morning came, and your turkey
hadn't reached me, so I rushed right
off to the express company and asked
the manager what he meant by not
sending the bird up. The manager
apologized, sir. very politely, and he
took me into a back room, where there
were ten or fifteen turkeys hanging,
and he said the labels had been lost
off them and I'd just better take
my choice. So I chose the largest, sir,
knowing your generosity, and it was
fine. It ate grand. Thank you very
much indeed, sir.' "?Washington Star.
Commas.
The French do not. as a rule, employ
inverted commas to indicate a dialogue,
but they employ the dash to indicate
a change of speakers, which is just as
bad. Certainly many punctuation marks
are sadly misused or overused. Dick?
ens tiung unnecessary commas all over
his pages?whole battalions of them.
Walter Pater also employed them with
extraordinary prodigality, frequently
before the word "and" where the con?
junction rendered them superfluous.
Pater was also overfond of the mark
of exclamation, so that when he drops
a "Yes" into his measured style it must
needs appear as "Yes!" But. though
the Bible does without Inverted com?
mas, there is real art in its punctua?
tion. How admirably it marks the ca?
dence and helps the drama in that
great story of the prodigal son!?Lon?
don Chronicle.
Culpeper's Remedies.
Old time physicians prescribed even
more unsavory remedies than rancid
butter, which was Emperor Menellk's
cure for malarial fever. In "Culpep?
er's Herbal,'* published originally in
1G50 and reprinted as recently as 1820.
are such proscriptions as "oil wherein
frogs have been sodden till all the
flesh is off from their bones." "horse
leeches burned into powder" and
"black soap and beaten ginger." Some
of Culpeper's remedies are of a more
practical nature. "If red hot gold be
quenched In wine," ho says, "and the
wine drunk it cheers the vitals and
cures the plague. Outwardly used it
takes away spots and leprosis."

ROBBERY AT BROGDON.
\v. T. IlrogdotTs Store Entered in Day
Time.
From Tin- Daily Item, March 2.
Mr. YV. T. Brofjdon, of Brogdon, is
in the city today. He reports the rob?
bing of his store yesterday. When his
son, who clerks in the store, got ready
for dinner, he closed the store. Math
ew McCutchon, a negro, who grew
up on the place, but who has moved
ab? ut two miles from Brogdon, had se?
creted himself in a closet. When the
store was locked and the clerk left, ho
came out and went to the till He
did not empty the till, but stol*, about
$4, thinking it would not be missed.
He also took some chewing gum.
Mr. Brogdon did not stay at dinner
as long as the negro calculated. When
he came in he heard a noise in the
closet?the negro hiding himself
again?arid investigated. The negro
was arrested and has been lodged in
jail.
The store has been robbed system?
atically from time to time, of more
than a hundred dollars. When arrested
McCutchen said that the other fellow
had been doing so well, he thought he
would try his hand.
McCutchen is a negro about 17
years of age.
A fire alarm was turned in Monday
night about midnight, and the de?
partment turned out to find that a
small house belonging to W. J. An?
drews, colored, was in flames. The
house was burnt to the ground. The
house was unoccupied, and the origin
of the fire is a mystery.
Reviewing ancient and medieval
menageries, Gustave Leisel, a French
investigator, points out that the large
felines seem to have been compltely
tamed by the Indians, Persians, Chal?
deans and Assyrians. Even the lion
was so tamed that it could be led in
a halter, and was used in chasing
wild bulls, deer, bears and asses.
House-cats appear to have been first
domesticated by the Chinese, who also
were the first to train cormorants for
fishing.
From 2,497 earthquakes recorded
in the vicinity of the Austrian Alps,
