Isle's Comet
IS
AH of the bright winter constellations
r still with us but they are drawing
near the ground in the West and already
la the Eaat we aee the faint lummer
aTrouja beginning to enter the evening sky.
The magnificent Dog atv la still high up
In the south while above thla the bright
groups Prion Taurus and Oemlnl make
the southwestern sky by far the most
brilliant part of the heavens. The great
Wateranake has half emerged from the
ground In the southeast but not until
next May will the whole of his enormous
length be seen. The Great Bear has al-
most reached his highest position in the
heavens; the three pretty little pairs of
stars at C. Figure 1. which mark his
paws now pass almost exactly through
the sentth.
The observer can now trace out the
whole of the constellations of thaOreater
and Lesser Dog and also examine the
strange little cluster of faint stars at D
Figure 1 known as the Praespe or Bee
Hive. He will also be Interested to ob-
serve the motion of the moon during the
month. Our satellite will pass over tl
Star D on March 11 at 6 hours 26 minutes
a. m.. and over the star E on March 12
at 1 hours 9 minutes a. m. On March 13
It will pass very near the planet Jupiter.
To observers far north of the equator the
moon will actually occult the planpt while
even to those In lower latitudes the two
bright objects so close together will form
beautiful and striking picture.
THE COMETS.
The great majority of comets which are
discovered appear suddenly and unexpect-
edly In the sky. They are great swarms
of meteoric particles and gases which
fall toward the sun from the region of the
fixed stars and after passing around that
body retreat Into the depths of space
never to be seen by us again. It Is quite
possible that ages after It has paid us a
flying visit a comet may in Its long Jour-
ney pass sufficiently near another star
to be similarly attracted by this sun. and
so H may pursue Its endleBs course from
star to star among the countless suns of
our universe.
But sometimes the wanderer's long jour-
ney Is brought to a sudden termination.
If the comet happens to pass near one
of the four greatest worlds which re-
volve about our sun the pull of this
latter body may so alter Its path that It
will not only be captured and forced to
remain near our sun but It may even be
destined to be completely broken up and
scattered along Its path. It will have
been changed Into a periodic come! re-
volving around the sun In a closed orbit.
ENKE'S COMET.
There are two of these periodic comets
In which astronomers are Just now espe-
cially Interested. The first. In many re-
spects. Is the most remarkable and in-
teresting comet ever discovered. This Is
Enke's comet which was captured by
the planet Jupiter and now moves in the
flattened orbit A C. Figure 2. but 400000-
000 miles In length. This comet passes
around Its orbit In about three and one-
third years but It Is most remarkable
that this time Is continually growing
smaller. This shows conclusively that In
Its passage through space the comet en-
counters some disturbing body. This may
be a meteoric swarm through which It
passes or some other cloud-like medium
or even a single mass like one of the as-
teroids but whatever It Is It has not so
Car been seen In th telescope.
Another remarkable fact Is that each
time It aproaches th ssn the comet
shrinks together and grows very much

Tba Effect of Coffs os Highly Orgasizad People.
"I have been a coffee user for years and about two
years ago sot Into a voir serious condition of dyspepsia
and Indigestion. It seemed to me I would fly to pieces.
I was so nervous that at the least noise I was distressed
and many times could not straighten myself up because
of-the pain.
"My physician told me I must not eat any heavy or
strong food and ordered a diet giving me some medicine.
I followed directions carefully but kept on using coffee
and did not get any better. Last winter my husband

bothered me in the least and I got over my nervousf rou-

the nervous conditions came on again.

whole trouble so I quit drinking coffee altogether and
kept on using Postura. '. The old troubles left again and I
hate never bad any trouble since." "There's a Reason."

of Europe who considered It a certain
sign of divine wrath portending that
Christianity was In danger. The church
bells were rung each day for deliverance
from the two great evils the comet and

When nearest the earth this comet will
be a most striking and conspicuous object
even to the naked eye. Ab yet on ac-
count of Its very great distance It has
not become visible even In the largest
telescope; It Is known that It Is now
800000000 miles away and that frorrt Jan-

Two years from now It will be only 60-

THE PLANETS.
Mars Is still vtBible In the southwest

great that it Is In a very unfavorable po-
sition for observation.
Venus has mounted high up In the sky
and is the beautiful evening star. Toward
the end of the month It will draw very
close to Mars but It will not pass to
the east of this body until April S. It Is
already the brightest object In the heaven
and wilt continue to Increase In brilliancy
until May 29 after which It will grow
rapidly fainter again. -

a short time the maby building contain-
ing all of the machinery of the plant
