TELLS ABOUT THE NEW COMET
(Continued from Page One.)
*
dent of Princeton University, al*mt -
the new comet, which he discovered
on the evening of December Oth, la
while perched on the roof of t.ie
Princeton observatory, sweeping the
heavens as he lias done on every
clear night, winter and summer, for
years with his five and three-quarter I
inch telescope.
Mr Daniels holds the Thaw follow
ship in astronomy, the annual Income
of a gift of $10,000 by Mr. Milliam
't haw, of Pittsburg.
The cornel discovered by him last i
week is his third.
When asked about the new come
Mr. Daniels said today:
“Of course, while the new cou*"t
appears about three times as large as
the earth, according to measurements
estimated from tin* computation of
its orbit, it doesn’t contain one thou
sandth part of tno matter, or solids,
which the earth does. Cl asses and
vapors appear to make up a large
part, of it. Yet it seems to have a
star-like nucleus.
"A remarkable thing about it too,
was that on the night 1 saw it, 1
could distinguish a star many mil
lions of miles further away, shining
right through the comet."

VERY FINE BIRDS.
His Wife’s Comment on the Result of
His Hunting Trip.
Tho braggadocio of the common va
riety of husbands generally sooner or
later falls before the keen insight that
most women have of human nature in
general and bragging husbands In par
ticular. A witty southern woman was
married to such a man. who, though
invariably unsuccessful as a hunter,
was continually boasting of his Kill
mgs
As lie was returuing home oue even
ing after an all day hunting trip H oc
curred to him (hat the usual actom
|)aiilmei)l of an empty game bag was
not in accordance w it ti bis oft boasted
skill as a hunter and that Ills wife
would again have ilie Joke on him. so
lie went lo i be market and purchased
two brace of partridges
As lie entered me house lie tlirew
i hem on i lie table with great eclat and
exclaimed. Well, you clear old doubl
er. yon see tliat I am handler with the
gun Ilian you give me credit lor bring,
ufter all; now don't you?"
Mi Indy picked up the birds and ex
amined i hem very carefully As she
looked up ufter the examination lie
said:
‘ l ine birds, uiy dear—very line birds,
ti re they not?"
"Robert." respombsl the wife, turn
ing up her nose, "you were only Just
in line in shooting those birds today.
Tomorrow it would have been ever
lastingly too late."—SI. Louis Repub

A Chinese Joke.
There was a man in Ch'angnn who
was very fond of giving dinners, but
the food given was atrocious. One tiny
n guest threw himself on Ills knees in
front of this gentleman and said. "Am
I not a friend of yours?"
"You are, indeed." refilled Ids host.
"Then I must nsk of you n favor,"
said the guest, "and you must grant it
before I rise from my knees."
"Well, vvluit Is it?" Inquired his host
In astonishment.
"Never to invite me to dinner any
more!" cried the guest, at which the
whole party burst into a loud roar of
laughter.—North China Herald

OLD WORLD ARMIES
Drafting Methods by Which Their
Strength Is Maintained.
TRICKS OF THE CONSCRIPTS.
All Manner of Dodges Are Adopted by
the Eligible Young Men to Avoid the
Enforced Military Service That Is So
Hateful to Them.
•
Wo hear a good deni about conscrip
tion. but few people Know wluu II ac
tually means. In no country Is eicry
person who Is able to tight drafted
Into the army. All mules who are lia
ble to aorve undergo a physical exam
ination, resulting In only a certain
number Is'lhg passed ns lit for set \ lee
No government has sutllclcnt funds
to drnft the whole of these men Into
the regular army, so a selection is
made by ballot, the number of men en
rolled varying according to the funds
In the hands of the authorities.
The pay provided for the conscript
Is necessarily very trilling Indeed and
will not compare with that paid to vol
untcct soldiers. In fact. It Is generally
true that the conscript must fall back 1 •'
upon his private means.
The methods vary In each country
But take the case of one European 6
power. Every male subject not phys I
lenlly Incapacitated Is liable to enter ^
the army at the age of twenty, ai I
though those who care to enlist may B
do so at eighteen. *.
register is sept <>t :i11 ttie youth
\yho reucli the age of twenty In the
purMculur year .Men under live feel
two Indies in height are exempl from
service, as well, of course, as tln>;<p
who suffer from natural inlinnltles
which fender them unsuitable for nr
the sen Ice,
Oiher men are also exempt If they
have helpless dependents thus tin*
only son of n widow or of n disabled
father, t lie Inner category also includ
ing the only von of a l it her who Is
above seventy years of ago. Then the
eldest of a family of orphans Is ex
empt. and in tin* case of two sous only
one is liable, there being various other
exempt Ions,
The term served by the eonserlpt is (
one of twenty-live years, three years 1
being spent In the regular army, six "
and one half in the army reserve, six ^
In the territorial army and the to jfi
maining nine and a half yours la the a
territorial reserve, all liability to sen J
let* ceasing at forty live. ||
The service Is frequently SO hated j
that all manner of methods are ndopt
ed in order to avoid It. In many
cases substitutes are provided by the
wealthy, though there are stringent
regulations with regard to the pro
vision of the substitutes.
In most Kuropoan countries military
malingering In order to avoid compul
sory military service has readied the
stage of n tine art. la fact, a formida
ble list of new crimes lias been added
to the slalutes as a result, and medical
men frequently have to suffer for their |
assistance In this particular kind of j
fi and.
Thus some (line ago a number of
Cologne doctors were arrcsJed up .1 a
charge of having administered pill to
young conscripts. These pills con 1st

toms of heart disease so effectively- as
completely to deceive l lie military an
llmrltlcx. wiib 1 lie* re nil that the con
scripts were declared unlit for sen lee
In lids 1 nse the fraud was brnuglii to
light by one of the conscripts dying a
a result of an overdose <d the medi
cine.
