511 GOVERNMENT FORCE
. WHIPPED INSURGENTS
Number of Casualties Esti
mated at 14 Killed and 70
Wounded.
MANAGUA. Nicaragua, Feb. 19. —The
telegraph operator with the government
army notified General Toledo today that
the fighting at St. Vicente ceased at 5
o'clock yaaterday afternoon, when the
insurgents retired in the direction of
Santo Tomas. This is accepted here as
meaning a government victory, but no
word has been received from Genera:
Vasques.
United States Consul Olivers, who has
returned from Matagalpa. estimates the
casualties during the recent fighting
there at 14 killed and 7® wounded. The
non-combatants were not harmed, al
though nearly every house was struck
by maxim shots. The owners are pre
paring claims of several hundred dollars
each. The loss to the Americans is
chiefly in cattle and horses killed or
requisitioned
The government's peace commission
..era, Gen. Wuerilo Estrada. Rudolfo Es
plnso and Frederic© Sacasa. sent a mes
sage today to Rear Admidal Kimball,
commander of the American naval forces
in Nicaraguan waters. The text is not
made known here, but is supposed to em
body a request for the transportation of
the commission from Greytown to Blue
fields on a United States warship.
President Madriz has signed the law
invalidating the debts contracted by the
revolutionary party.

HALLEY’S COMET WILL
BEGIN SWEEP OF SKY
ON THE FIRST OF APRIL
I I

The above picture shows the diagram of the comet and the earth.
BY OTIS ASHMORE.
Now that Halley’s comet is rapid:.*
approaching the earth, and is soon to be
come an object of great popular interest,
the public will desire to know the leading
facts concerning this famous celestial
visitor, and to learn something of its
eventful history. In just what part of
the heavens it is at present, when anil
where it may be seen best, when it will
be nearest the earth, and what danger, ?f
any, is there of a collision with our globe,
are some of the questions that are nat
urally asked.
The comet is at present in the constella
tion Pisces, about half way from the
zeriith down to the western horizon at
dark, and about eight degrees west of the
planet Saturn. It is not yet visible to
the naked eye, and as it is approaching
the sun. it will soon be lost in his rays
till about April 1. when it will reappear in
the morning sky ahead of the sun. On
March 24 it will be on the opposite side
of the sun from us, and on April 20 it will
pass its perihelion at a distance of 54,000,-
000 miles from the sun.
SEEN IN MORNING.
From that time till May 15 it will be a
glorious spectacle in the morning heavens.
On May 18 it will pass directly between
the earth and the sun, when it will be
only 12.000.000 miles from us. As it sweeps
rapidly by us it will pass from the morn
ing to the evening sky again, and after
a few weeks it will bid us adieu for its
long journey into the depths of space, not
to return to us again tn three-fourths of
a century.
As it rushes by us on May 18 it will pass
directly over the disc of the sun. and a
fine opportunity will be afforded to test
by observation the sise and character of
the nucleus. If it consists of solid par
ticles of considerable size, or of denre
aggiegation, it will be projected as a dark
mass against the bright face of the sun,
but if it Is composed of gas only, or of
very small particles widely diffused. It
will pass across the sun as an invisible
mass. It is not improbable that the earth
at that time may become involved in the
nebulositv of its tail, but the matter com
posing the tail is so extremely tenuous
that the earth will in all probability pass
through it without any sensible effect.
The transit of the comet across the face
of the sun will take place during the.
night on the western hemisphere, and
hence we could not see it any w’ay, but
astronomers on the opposite side of the
earth will doubtless observe this phenome
non with great care.
The orbit of Halley's comet is a very
elongated ellipse, extending out into space
500,000,000 miles beyond the orbit of Nep
tune. At its perihelion its distance from
the sun is 54.000,000 miles, or somewhat
less than the distance of the planet
Venus. It makes a revolution around the
sun in about 75 years, though owing to
the disturbing effect of the larger planets
on its motion, this period may vary one
or two years. Its motion tn its orbit is
retrograde; that is. it moves around the
sun in an opposite direction to that of
the planets. Its orbit is inclined about
18 degrees to the plane of the earth's
orbit, and these two orbits are so related
that a collision between the earth and
the comet is Impossible.
GASEOUS MATTERS.
There is much uncertainty about the
composition of cometary masses, but the
spectroscope shows that the head Is
composed of gaseous matter involving
probably masses of solid matter closely
grouped together. The tall consists of
gas. chiefly hydrogen, in a state of ex
treme tenuity. The fact that the tail is
always turned from the sun has led to
the theory that the matter of which it is
composed is driven off from the head by
some repulsive force of the sun. Sev
eral ingenious theories have been ad
| vanced to account for the phenomena of
comets’ tails, but none of them are alto
gether satisfactory. The head of a comet
generally possesses some self luminosity,
but the tall owes its light to solar re
flection.
The possibilities of a collision of the
earth and a comet, and the probable re
sults of such an occurrence, have often
been discussea, but owing to our ig
norance of cometary masses, such dis
cussions are little better than specula
tions. That such a collision is possible
no one will deny, but the probability of
it is extremely remote. If a comet of
small size and density should run full
tilt against the earth, our atmosphere
THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GEORGIA.TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22. 1910
would probably prevent serious damage.
A brilliant meteoric shower would doubt
less be witnessed, but that would be all.
But if a large meteor of great density
should col'ide with the earth the results
would doubtless be more serious. Aside
from the impact of the solid masses
against the earth, the gases suddenly
diffused into our atmosphere might be
fatal to life.
Halley's comet received iti' name from
Edmund Halley, a distinguished English
astronomer, who observed It in 1682 qnd
who predicted its return tn 1759. His pre
diction was rased upon the fact that
Its orbit in 1682 was nearly identical with
that of 1607 and 1531. He also found in
history references to remarkable com
ets in 1456, 1801. 1145 and 1066. As the in
terval between the returns of these com
ets was about 75 years, he concluded that
they were one and the same body, and
this conclusion proved to be correct.
CAUSED SENSATION.
The history of Halley’s comet, as it
has been traced back through the ages
by its period of 75 years, is quite event
ful. In 1066 it was regarded as the fore
runner of the victory of William of Nor
mandy. Its size then was equal to that
of the full moon. In 1456 its tail reached
from the horizon to the zenith, and the
wildest excitement prevailed. Indeed, at
every return of this remarkable comet
the nations of the earth have looked up
on it with awe. Its first recorded appear
ance was 130 B. C., when it was supposed
to herald the birth of Mithridates.
At this return the conditions will be
very favorable for a magnificent view
of this historic celestial visitor, and the
impressions made upon the minds of
those who behold it will doubtless remain
throughout life. ,

iGORPORJITIDN CONTROL BY
u. s. raasns nwl
Conflicting State Laws Neces
sitate Concentrator in Fed
eral Authority, He Argues
CHICAGO, Feb. 18.—Federal control of
corporations is necessary to the commer
cial preservation of the country, declared
Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce and
labor, of the United States, in an address
before the Industrial club here last night.
As to the power of the national govern
ment to authorize the organization of
federal corporations?' Mr. Nagel said
there could be no question. The existing
system of clashing state laws—"a sys
tem on all sides at war with itself”—he
regarded as intoleroble, and he assured
his hearers that the consequence of a
federal corporation law such as President
Taft had proposed could make for noth
ing but the general good.
The purpore of the government to reg
ulate t.'ie corporations, in the opinion of
the secretary, could not be considered as
an attempt to encroach upon state au
thority, but as a determination to- -‘‘em
ploy old authority for the solution of new
problems.’’ A change -of. attitude regard
ing the relation of national to state au
thority he believed had come over the
country with the development of prob
lems too big for the <tate individually to
meet. -’7
"Among the more important problems,”
said Secretary Nagel, "appears to be the
ouestion whether or not the national
government may and should authorize
and regulate the organization and con
duct of federal reparations. Only a few
years ago the bare suggestion of such an
idea filled the public with dismay. The
authority was denied and the policy was
questioned. Today, the irreconcilable con
flicts to which ordinary business organi
zations are subjected in our states have
forced a general recognition that some
thing must be done to relieve the situa
tion. '
"The idea Is not limited to any par
ticular locality of our country or to any
special class. From alt parts, east and
west, north and south, city and coun
try, come the suggestions that someje
llef upon these lines must be worked out.
The proposition has now been squarely
put before the country. The president
of the United States has made a distinct
recommendation in a message, calling at
tention to the needs, and submitting for
consideration a form to which legislators
end constituents may give their atten
tion.”
ROCHELLE TO FIGHT
FOR COUNTY COURT HOUSE
CORDELE, Ga.l Feb. 18.—It has been
learned here from reliable sources that
the town of Rochelle, 15 miles east of
this city, will again take up the fight
with a view to securing the court house
of Wilcox county. In consequence of a
hard-fought contest 12 years ago Ro
chelle lost and the court house remained
in Abbeville, but renewed vigor has been
manifesting itself In behalf of Rocnelle
and the contest will be renewed. It is
urged in favor of the. letter t.qwn that it
is located near Jhe. center of the county,
while Abbeville is situated on the Oc-
on the extrenife portion.
Il Is understood that several thousand
dollars haVe'l'been raised for the pur
pose of erecffngTthe court house at Ro
chelle in the event It wins the county
site, the proposition on the’part of Ro
chelle being to erect a court house and
donate the building and site to the coun
ty without cost to the tax payers in the
rural sections of the county.
Wilcox cou’pty has one 6f the hand
somest court house buildings in south
Georgia and teas built about 10 years
ago at a cost of about $70,000.

Lies in the Power of Rich Blood
to Keep It Ever Clear
and Clean.
Stuart's Calcium Wafers Tree.
The secret of firm, strong, supple
flesh is—good, rich, constant flowing,
blood. When hollow cheeks appear and
hidden pigments make the eyes look
like burnt holes in a blanket, the blood
is sick and out of tune.
tVv
The effect of impure and pure blood ia
seen at once on tlie face.
---Impurities fill it with poisons, the
flesh harbors these poisons, and the
lungs cannot eliminate them as ’ they
should; ■ - •
, (.It needs, a purifier. Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers give to the blood through
the same channels as food all the
strength and stimulus necessary to re
move the impurities and to make rich
corpuscles which will feed the body
or fight its enemies.
Time was when poor blood purifiers
had to be used, such as herbs and roots
powdered minerals, etc., but thanks
to latter day achievement the Stuart
Process gives to the system the full
rich strength of Calcium Sulphide, the
greatest blood purifier known to
science.
These little powerful wafers are pre
pared by one of the most noted ex
pert pharmaceutical chemists In the
world and so far as science Is con
cerned no expense has been spared
to make them perfect.
They contain. Quassia, Golden Seal
and Eucalyptus, each a most powerful
aid to the blood of man.
Thousands of people use these wafers
with religious zeal, and their testi
monial evidence is an unfailing source
of interest to one who reads it.
Melancholy marks every suffering
woman, yet one should be armed with
this knowledge and make up one’s
mind to try Stuart’s Calcium Wafers

SHELLMAN NEAR-BEER
LAW STANDS UNSHAKEN
Inviolate and in full rigor will here
after stand the near-beer ordinance
draughted by the city council of Shell
man, Ga., prohibiting the sale of any
nigh-beverage containing more than a
quarter of 1 per cent of alcohol—elimi
nating, in fact, every thing beyond moxle.
Unshaken it will be, despite the injunc
tion that was lodged against it, because
the supreme court applies an aged rule
of Intv to the matter and the injunction
don’t come up to measure. That old rule
of law, says the high court, is that a
court of equity can’t interfere with the
enforcement of criminal laws. The supe
rior .court of the Pataula circuit granted,
the injunction which the supreme court
now dissolves.
W. T. Saxon brought the suit for in
junction to stay the ordinance in ques
tion, adopted by the mayor and city coun
cil of Shellman. Saxon won out below but
loses now. On the quarter of 1 per cent
provision, or on the ordinance as a whole
or on Saxon’s claim that the ordinary
had accepted his license money and legal
ized the sale, the supreme court says
naught.
