He lingered inside, meaning to accost her in the greater privacy of the tair hall. The light wan behind her, and Neil could not read her ex• ereselon. Something suggeeted, however, that she was changed from the day before.

PrObably the most extraordinary dis- covery of a comet was that of the One 1010WR RS "a 1896." It happened this way, as told in Science by W. W. Campbell; of the Lick Observatory. Prof. Charles I), Perrino discovered a comet'on Nov. 11, 1895, and observed' it night after night till Dec, 20, 1805, when it was lost to sight in the glare, Of the sun's.rays. ,Prof. Perrino end Mr, Campbell 'calculated the orbit for 1080, and •their computations Were published in the astronomieal jottrnale, Just before dawn on Jan. 80, 1800, Perrino stmt.

In some cases it was found that, bakera were using peanuts, called by the English. money nuta, to mix with the flour. So Inc "rope disease" has baffled the investigators in the British Isles.

Then "the hard life of the farmer" is longer, not because it simply seems longer, but because he lives in the midst of protective agencies. The sta- tistics of the entire Country show that farmers live longer than all others, fif ty-eight years being their average s.)an of life.
