heavens the next one is almost due and the comethunters are watching for it some astronomers specialize in hunt ing for comets they use for this pur pose a peculiar kind of telescope of low power but wide field of view there is more than a purely scienti fic interest in the discovery of a new comet astronomers have long since concluded by purely mathematical rec koning that a comet is likely to hit the earth head on sooner or later novelists have dealt with this possi bility and have drawn fantastic pic tures of what would happen to our earth if it collided with a comet and scientists agreo that in the event of such a catastrophe tho entire popula tion of the world might be destroyed by the poisoning of our atmosphere from the gas carried by tho comet the head of a comet is gaslit it consists of a relatively solid nucleus which looks like a star in some cases thousands of miles in diameter sur rounded by an lmmeno envelope of burning gas the quantity of ga3 carried by a big comet may not probably be greater than the earths entire atmosphere one can imagine then what might be the result of a prof u 3 mixing of this gas very probably unbreathable with our air the rebel i looked

european national anthem written to order was the norwegian composed by the poet bjornson the old portuguese na tional hymn is unique in that it was writteu by an emperor dom pedro of brazil although the exkaiser an nounced during the war that he had written a new hymn for the german nation apparently however it was never published the famous russian national an them is noteworthy in that the tune

demand how did this demand arise what maintains it why do people buy and read this ancient book when they can buy and read so much that is newer fresher and on the sur face at least more directly suited to their twentieth century needs writes basil king in harpers of one thing we can be certain that unless these books supplied some thing which the heart of europe and america craves for its sustenance no such demand would continue no where else in history to my know ledge do we find a group of people ex tremely diverse among themselves ap propriating a whole literature not their own which they had no part in producing and living on it as they never live on the most vital works of their own children the phenomenon calls attention to itself and is perhaps its own best ex planation demand is always in proportion to the quality of the supply that is all there is no further mystery it is with the bible as with everything else where there is that which meets a need those who feel the need will turn to it no fictitious sentiment would keep the printing presses of the bible working overtime ro pletistic or sec tarian or ecclesiastical incitement could year in and year out
