Our new location is more desirable, very convenient and we know that our patrons and friends will find us better prepared to serve them. The new location i the most centrally located building in the city, has every modern convenience, and we trust that you will call on us soon. L PASO HERALD Hi . , Rooms 1 and 2 C Policy of This Company It is with pride and pleasure we again tell you of the policr of this company and we are confident that there are hundreds of our patrons who will testify that "Hatton never attempts to sell a piece of prop erty that he would not buy himself ; that when Hatton represents a farm to have such andnsuch good features and such and such bad ones that you will invariably find it just as Hatton says; that Hatton al ways gives the other fellow a chance to make a dollar, as well as for himself.5' Misrepresenting property is something that this company has never practiced and WHEN WE ABE FORCED TO DO IT, THErT WE WELL EETIRE EROM BHSESHSSS. We always try to make a reasonable commission we or any oth er real estate dealer is entitled to it but when we get a good, genuine snap it is sold at the same profit of percent, and we give the general public the same opportunity to buy. ?or this reason we have sold more upper valley farnjg than any two dealers in the southwest and by a continuance of this policy we hope to do the same amount of busi ness in the future Our Plans For the Future As a matter of fafct, our plans for the future are tie same as our policy of he past to give better values in property tihan any other firm in the southwest; to sell twice as much as any company or individual in Texas, Arizona or Xew fexico. We -will devote more attention to El Paso property, both improved and unimproved, than heretofore, (but at the same time devoting as much attention 'to upper and lower valley farms. To do this it was necessary to secure additional help, which has been done, and "the new salesmen wall sell property only under the "Hatton policy," which is so well known over the southwest and which has been so favorably received as demonstrated by the amount of business we have done during the past year. If you have anything to sell and want to dispose of it quick, you should list it with us be cause it will be properly advertised, besides, there are a large number of people who depend upon our judgment for investment. If you want to buy property, call and see our list the largest in the southwest and you will find what you want at the terms you are prepared to meet. We will sell you a small tract of -land on sis years' time that will pay for itself with one crop. - Some Interesting ' Real Estate Bargains 3 cottages in Franklin Heights, frame bldgs., with stone foundations.

The Outlook For T910 Never were the prospects more favorable for an unusually successful year than 1910. During the past several months El Paso, the upper and lower valleys have constantly been in the limelight. It is a safe statement that there has been more visitors in El Paso during the past few months than in any previous year. You know what this means. Could a-visitor come to El Paso without being favorably impressed at the remarkable progress El Paso and the upper and lower valleys are making? Without realizing that this is the country where a man can live contented, happily and prosperous? Where crops can be rais ed the year around? Without being favorably impressed with the al most perfect climatic conditions? El Paso claims many attractive features that no other city in the west can, and moreover, it has prov ed every claim that has been made for her. There are hundreds of rea sons why El Paso and the two valleys are going to make remarkable strides during the present year. If you are considering making a change, come to El Paso. We need you, you need us, and it wdll pay you to' come here and investigate what is in store for you. Regarding City Property During the past year Ei Paso has made remarkably substantial growth. We who have seen several costlybusiness blocks erected, many beautiful homes built and. scores upon scores of cosy cottages completed, are so accustomed to the" building that it never appealed, -to us. There is scarcely now a vacant piece of good business or closein residence property in El Paso. It is safe to predict tihafc one vear from today property will have increased to such a great extent that a person .who Invests wisefv todav will be independent for the remainder ol his or her life. It does not require "old tim ers" to tell us when fortunes were made in a few years on El Paso property. You need not be sur prised if the same thing occurs again. El Paso is rapidly growing every day. It will continue to grow every day. Its future is unlimited. Its resources are undeveloped. Its transportation, facil ities are improving. Its progress is just beginning to attract attention. Its merits as a winter re sort is just becoming known. These are only a few of the things that are going to make El Paso a city of 100,000 population in less than ten years. You know what that means if you anvest in El Paso property. Don't wait too long, make a selection soon and youll never regret he investment. An upper valley investment is as safe as investing in Government Bonds. Call and ask for our list.'

ELiDOM lias the astronomical world 1 been so completely- taken by sur- " prise as it -svas Dy me Drilliant naked eye comet 3hat each and every one of us savr. A month ago the pro fessional astronomer "was beginning to devote his energies more and more to Halley's comet, for .nothing else of an unusual nature loomed big in the as-r-onomlcal horizon for the year 1310. This interesting periodic comet, discov ered as it -was by Prof. Wolf 220 days before perihelion passage has been .. Tightening gradually, but so slowly that the "'man in the street" had begun to lose interest in it, for it -was not merely a. "nine days' -wonder." The nsw comet, or as it Is technically known. Comet A, 1910, apparently caught the comet seekers napping, and as a result these guradians of the celestial sphere have lost somewhat of their excellent reputation for carefullj and slceplessly patroling the heavens, looking for these stray visitors from outer space which come in to disturb the qu'fct and equa- i nun-icy or our peaceiut e. v.-j lhave always been looked upon with jLcar ana ureau even u l3.l um..- - -mer, who in the Iliad speaks of "the red star that from his flaming hair strik eth down diseases, pestilence and war." Comet With. Bad Reputations. On account of their Dad reputations, and their unusual appearances, as tronomers have been most assiduous in searching for them, and it is a matter f no little chagrin that the citadel has been approached and stormed by the enemy without having oeen seen by the sentries. Comet A, 1910, was dis covered on Jan. 17 by Innes at Johan nesburg. South Africa. At the time it was only 2 degrees west and 4t degrees south of the sun, and it was bright enough to be seen even after sunrise. As J it was then almost at perihelion, it I changed its Dosition in the heavens rap- t iui- ana quicKiy mcreasea in Dmiancy, o.uu n a zew aays rivaiea in Dngnxness the evening star, Venus. Contfnued cloudy weather throughout the United States deterred us from seeing it for nearly a week, but -what a splendid ob ject it was when we did see It. Even in the oity where we had the dust and smoke, the glare of the city lights and the lack of horizon to contend with it showed up beautifully- For the bene fit of amateurs who think they pos sess keen eyes, a few measurements of the length of the tail are given. On Sunday, Jan. 23, the tail was 10 degrees In length (we may remind those who have forgotten it that the distance be tween the "pointers" of the Dipper is about 6 degrees). The tail Increased greatl in length, and by the end of January had reached the enormous length of 35 degrees, as measured by Prof. Douelass. of the universitv nf Arizona, over onethird the distance from horizon to zenith. It quickly faded after that and on Feb. 3, when It was practically invisible in New York city due to smoke and lights. Prof. Barnard" estimated its length at 20 degrees The tail was then very broad, widening out rapidly from the head, and an excelent photograph of it obtained the same night showed, in addition to the main tall, another much shorter tail or ex tension, pointing in the opposite direc tion and extending 12 minutes of arc towards the sun. The last time this phenomenon was noted was in the great comet of 1SS2; and the great comet of 1910 is the most brilliant comet we have had in all that time. Remarkable Comet. It HkewIsMs the most remarkable comet In that period, judging from its spectacular appearance, the len-th and brilliancy of its tail, and Its curi ous composition, for the spectroscope shows in addition to the cyanogen bands found in all comets the bright lines in the yellow part of che spec trum due to luminous sodium vapor. This constituent of common salt is very seldom seen in a comet, and we recall it in the "Wells comet and the great comet of 18S2. "It Is probable that the closeness of the comet's approach to the sun caused the appearance of the sodium lines. As a result. It shows with a yellowish light. Comet A, 1910, was but 4,000:f000 miles from the sun when nearest it, and it moved at the rate of 1,000,000 miles per hour. That its tail pointed directly away from the sun was very evident. A comet's tall, however, is also curved in the direction away from its motion. The curvature of their tails has been care fully investigated) by the Russian as tronomer, Bredechin, who found them to be of three main types: first, long straight tails, which he imagined con sisted of hydrogen; second, plume like tails sof hydrocarbons; and, third, short, stubby tails of metallic vapors. Ac cording to Bredechin, -the force in the sun repellng the particles from the tall was for the first type 1S.5 times greater than attraction of gravity, from the second tails, 3.2 times gravity, and for the metallic tails, 1.5 to 2.2 times grav ity. Bredechin. had no idea of the nn ture of the " socalled electrical force producing the tails, but his theory gavu a satisfactory explanation of their ap pearances. Nature of the Force. TSi,- it.Vin- la .t-Vio nntiiro -nf th55 fnrct? This problem was solved by Aurhenius, the Swedish scientist, as tar DacK as 1S73, the celebrated Clark Maxwell published the electromagnetic theory of light which today is regarded as our most acceptable theory. According to it we kno-Wj that light is wave mo tion, and just as the waves of the soa pound in on the shore with a tremen dous force, so the tiny waves of light must exact a pressure on every body on which they fall. This pressure on bodies of ordinary size, due to the sun's light, is excessively small compared with their weight. The pressure on a body depends on the areawhich Is ex posed, the weight of a body on the vol ume or cubical contents. If we de crease a particle's size, its weight de creases as the cube of the diameter, the pressure as the square, and hence its weight decreases faster than the pres sure; and if the particle is near the sun, and if it is sufficiently decreased In size, the pressure of the sun's light driving It away may equal the attrac tion of gravity centered In the sun and pulling It toward it. Is this only a theory? How large are the particles, or rather how small must they be be fore the pressure of sunlight will equal the attraction of gravity? The particles, of course, are small, but they are not Inconceivably small, and are of dimen sions well known to physicists. But Is there any physical foundation for this Interesting theory? Yes. there is, for Profs. Nichols and Hall have been able to measure in the laboratory the pres sure of sunlight and they have more over produced a comet's tall artificially on these ideas. Xotlons Abont Comet Tails. Thus, then, we have the following no tions concerning the tails of comets: The matter in them must be in a very finely divided state, little flecks of dust or gaseous molecules, the sun rays ex ert on this fine matter a pressure which is greater than gravity, and as a result the tail is directed away from the surf. As a consequence, this tall does not move along bodily with the comet, but new matter Is continually being driven off from the comet's head and, the tail is a nftw tall alwavs. The comet there- I fore is slowly being: used up by its own emanations, and the slowness of this process is evident if we consider Hal ley's comet, of which we have records for 2000 years, and it ha3 been consuming- itself all this time, but yet is not wasted away. Truly, the more we learn of comets .the more we marvel at their wonders. But we need not be much afraid of the cyanogen in the comet's tail penetrating into the earth's atmosphere and bringing disease and death with its poisonous vapors. As has been told before, Halley's comet passes on the far side of ihe sun on March 26, and thereafter will be a morning object. As it will set soon after the sun in the early part of March a short ephemeris only is added: Date 1910. Right Ascension. Declination. March 5 0 30 28 56 2 March 1 Oh 33m 24s x 7 54 2S" March 9 0 27 25 7 58 3 March 13 0 24 22 x S 0 15 On Feb. 10, Prof. Barnard measured the head of Halley's comet to be 190, 000 miles in diameter, and the tail 5, 000,000 miles long. In a five Inch guld iner telescoDe no trace of a. tail could ! be seen, but on a photograph a tail 1 degree in length appears. Between this date and May 18 the tail will undoubt edly develop in length and though we will be 14,000,000 miles from the comet when It passes between us and the sun the tail will undoubtedly sweep by the earth. The comet has not yet been seen by the naked eye, and we. will probably .have to wait until April 'till after it comes -out from the rays of the sun. The stray comet we have seen with the naked eye has whetted our curiosity to behold Halley's. The Planets. Venus passed between the earth and the sun on Feb. 11, and is now a morn ing star, rising before the sun. On March 18, it attains Its greatest bril liancy. Mars is gradually, getting fainter, and may be seen towards the southwest In the early evening. About March 10 it will be directly south of the Pleiades. On the first of .the month Jupiter rises shortly after 8 o'clock. It is at opposition March 30, and so is on the meridian due south on that date at midnight. It Is then nearest the earth and consequently brightest. It will therefore be a magnificent object all this month. Saturn is seen low down towards the southwest in the early evening. Spring begins March 21. at 7:03 a. m., eastern standard time. ' MAF FINDS BOBBER IN HIS BEDROOM Goes for Gun and Bobber Gets Away Broken Leg "Wrenched.
