THE TAIL OF A COMET It Pays Dearly for Its Brilliant Gaseous Display Formed by Light and Heat. i--- Obituary Record. Leonhardt Geu- Traveling as comets do in very elon gated ellipses, with the sun in one of the foci, as the attracting point is called, most of their Journey Is spent in slow uneven tfulness far away from the hearth of the system hearth is Just what the word focus means. Tbey are then small globular aggregations, sluggish and dim a little roundish nebula In look. Such tbey aDDear t when first descried in the telescope coming In from space, for they are rarely seen at all until they have en tered within the" orbit of Mars. Dis tance in part, but still more their own behavior till then, keeps them' hid. Within this nebulosity, known as the head, appears as It nears ns a bright spot, the nucleus. Suddenly there oc curs a complete change In the deport ment of the body, one which renders it the observed of all observers, and In less civilized times occasionally Its be ing held the harbinger of distress, dis ease and death. As soon as the comet gets near enough the heat of the sun sets up commotion within it. By Tery's deter mination of the temperature of the cnblanketed sunward aide of the moon we are enabled to Infer that this heat is great at the earth's distance from the sun in spite of the cold of space. This temperature is 353 degrees F. And as the comet approaches the sun this heat must increase Inversely as the square of the distance. At half the radius of the earth orbit Jt is al- h jt i. t i ! if t Anty Drudge Tells How to Avoid Scalding Children. Ethel '01v mama! Harold put his hand into the boiling water in the wash tub and scalded it jast awfully." Anty Drudge' "Just as I told you. Boiling clothes is dangerous as well as wasteful. If you would use Feis-Naptha in cool or lukewarm water, you'd save time, money and hard work and there wouldn't be any danger of the children getting scalded, Hot weather is bad enough without a hot fire and steaming suds in washing clothes. There is a better way. Fels-Naptha soap will cleanse your clothes in cool or lukewarm water, without boiling or hard rubbing, in summer or winter. It will do the work in less than half die time and make your clothes sweeter, cleaner and whiter. And the clothes will wear longer. Think of it! Why should any woman risk her health and shorten her life by wearing herself out with hard work, and subject herself to dis comfort in boiling clothes and rubbing them through hot suds? Follow easy directions on the red and green wrapper. ready four times as great aBbve abso lute zero, at a quarter sixteen times, and to on increasingly, the tempera ture rising into thousands of degrees. No wonder the comet acts as It does. It at once becomes uneasy, waxes in light and, as the spectroscope reveals, disruptive electric discharges start in it which let out the imprisoned gases. Then begins that spectacular career of perihelion passage which makes the comet so superb an object and for which it pays so dear. The gases which are thus thrust out from the interior of the. separate meteorites, to gether with such particles of the iron as are made gaseous by the heat, fall prey to another force besides gravita tion. This force is the Impact of light itself, the light emitted by the sun. That so Immaterial a thing as a beam of light can have power to move even a pith ball is a conception not easy to grasp. Yet there Is no doubt of the fact, theoretically calculated years ago by Clerk Maxwell from his electro-magnetic theory of light, for the gaseous particles proceed to be repelled by the sun at enormous speed, each behaving exactly as it should by math ematical analysis If such were the oc saslonlng cause. Evidently the light waves have a propelling power in the direction of their own motion equal to their own speed. Why, then, is it that the planets be tray no such effect in spite of their size? The answer Is. because of that very size. Gravity acts on the mass. a matter of three dimensions; the light force on the surface of the body, a matter of two. As a body diminishes in size, therefore, its surface bears a greater and greater ratio to its mass until when small enough the second force is the stronger of the two. This relation is betrayed in the con duct of the tail. The Imprisoned gases, heated to expulsion on the sun ward side of the comet, rise toward It in a series of exquisite mantling en velopes, as if the comet's bead were- veiling itself from the too ardent gaze of the sun. Then, after rising to a certain height, their initial Impetus overcome, tbey fall back, repelled by the light waves, although still attract ed by gravity, and are driven out to form the tail of the comet, fresh en velopes taking their place. Sometimes only a single tan Is form ed, but at others two or even three are shot out, and when this happens one is nearly straight, one curved and one greatly bent. Now, calculation shows that the repelling force in the case of the first is fourteen rimes that of grav ity, In the second two and two-tenths times, or something less, and In the third only about one-fifth of gravity. But these are the very ratios which particles of hydrogen gas, of the hy drocarbons and of Iron or sodium would respectively show. - . As the comet approaches the sun the display becomes more violent and more spectacular. Finer and wilder grows the pageant, the "hairy star" loosening its tresses, which had stood sedately colled about its head amid the depths of space, to stream in gorgeous gleams behind it as it pays Its orbital obeisance to the ruler of Its course. It seemingly backs away In keeping with the etiquette to royal ty, turning always its face sunward as it retreats whence it came. But it pays dearly for Its display. The matter going to form the tall can never be recovered, but is driven far ther away. At each successive return to the sun some of Its mass and bril liance is thus lost, and this Is why the periodic comets, those that have made many visits, are such small and In conspicuous objects. It is only the comets of long ellipses and very dis tant habit of which the perihelion pageant Is so flae. Youth's Companion.

AH the lArgoa, news all the time The Harry Hildreth Disappears. Friends of Harry Hildreth in this city are con cerned over his disappearance. He left his boarding house, 410 Seven teenth street, the morning of Thurs day, March 24. for the Mueller lum ber yards, where he was employed at a teamster. Ha reported at the yards, but did not go to work, and has jiot been seen or heard from since. There was no occasion, for alarm when he failed to return to his hoarding house for supper. His home is in Henderson, 111., and when he did not return the following day, it was thought that he bad gone home. Yesterday a postal card and letter were received from, his mother, which convinces his friends that he is not at home. He had been ill with a distressing pain. In his head and his friends fear that he may have become temporarily deranged and wan dered away. He has money due him as wages from the Mollne Plow com pany and from the Mueller Lumber company. He is 25 years of age and is smooth-faced. He is 5 feet 7 inches tall and has a head of heavy dark brown hair. The police have been asked to look into the case. Order Survey from SI Mb- Directors of the Tri-Clties & Northwestern Inter- urban road met yesterday afternoon and decided to order a survey of the new proposed route from Silvis to Riverdale farm. The survey will be made by Engineer Wallace Treichler of Rock Island. It is understood that the directors are preparing to ask the Silvis trustees for a franchise, grant ing them permission to enter the vil-i lage. R. S. Silvis has promised to do- ( nate a site for a depot if the road is built. The route from Silvia to River- dale farm would leave out Wate Blown and Hampton two of the towns through which the original line was to have passed. A second survey will be ordered, however, that may include Hampton, with Silvis as the terminal at this end of the line. Mrs. Laura Vaughn Held. Mrs Laura Vaughn, residing on Fifth ave nue near Sixteenth street, has been held to the grand Jury ra bonds of $150 on a charge of forgery.

Handled by Representative Dealers, CURE oSHEUTJATISH Rheumatism Is a specific blood fermentation, a souiing of the circulation from an excess of uric acid accumulating ia the blood stream. This uratic impurity comes usually as a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indigestion and stom ach disturbances. These systemic irregularities may not be of marked severity or of long duration, but each has a direct effect on the cljftiinative members of the body, which prevents the proper removal of the waste products. This refuse re mains fn the stomach and bowels, and souring forms uric acid, which the blood quickly absorbs. Rheumatism is usually manifested in the joints and muscles. It is here its sharpest twinges of pain are felt, and stiffening of ligaments and tendons first commence. The pain of Rheumatism is caused by the contact of the sensory nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric acid causes to accumulate in the corpuscles of the blood about the joints. The stiff ening of muscles and joints is usually gradual. Constantly the blood deposits the uric acid into the joints, and slowly the natural fluids are dried up and destroyed. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and serious. Rheuma tism is sometimes inherited, for like all blood diseases it can be transmitted to offspring. TLis explains why some persons are afflicted with the disease, and suffer its pains, who have otherwise been perfectly healthy. S.S.S. cures Rheumatism and cures it permanently. It goes into the circu lation, and removes the uric add, purifies the blood, and in this way destroj'S the cause. S. S. S. changes the blood from a sour, acid-steeped stream to a rich, healthy fluid, which quiets the excited nerves, eases the throbbing muscles and painful joints, andifllters out of the circulation the irritating matter which causes every painful symptom of tne disease, wnen the blood has been purified and enriched by S.S.S., it nourishes the different members that have been weakened and starved because of imperfect blood.
