20.—Professor Georgd Hate and his as
tronomers at the Carnegie solar ob- !
aervatory discovered when the moon
set thle morning at 1:25 o’clock, to thetr
amasement, that the streamers of the
comet’* tall appeared In the same rela
tive position aa they were discovered
yesterday • momlng. They atretched
from the northeastern horizon up to
the milky way, fainter than yesterday
morning but brighter at *h» horizon
Dr, Hale was unable to advenes a the
ory that will satisfy himself as to
whether the earth hae passed thru the
tall of the comet or-not. Thera are
three possible explanations of the phe
nomena observed. If we are now In
the. comet’s tall, we could not eee-lt at
all. If we were thru It, It would eeein I
that It would be In a different poal-
,tlon. One possible explanation la that
the comet has two tails. If we have
passed thru one,, a curved tall, we
might see the.second and emaller one
In the position In which these stream
er* are beheld.
DID COMET’S TAIL BRUSH
EARTH? NO ONE KNOWS
Astronomer Declares We May Never Know For a Certainty.
Scientist Puzzled by Peculiar Antics of the
Heavenly Wanderer.
New York, May 20.—“Mankind may
never know for certain whether or not
our earth passed thru the tall of Hal
ley's comet during the year 1110.”
Thta startling derlaratlon was msde
today by Professor H. A. Jacoby, chief
of the astronomical department at Co
lumbia university.
Scientists of this city are atilt In
doubt as to what has happened to the
comet's tall, whether It has been loet
or merely strayed about In the curve
which has been attributed to tt.
Millions of eyes will be turned to the
skies this evsnlng, for the comet Itself
le scheduled for appearance In the
western eky.

and dignitaries from all the world.
Amtd the glitter of the procession
there walked two young boys. Simply
clad aa midshipmen, their youth em
phasised by their broad, turned-down
collars, they seemed lost amid the
gorgeousnees of the pageant, and yet
every ey* turned on the procession
marked them well. They were the sons
of King George—Prince Albert, a lad
of fifteen, who will one day govern
Great Britain, and his eleven-year-old
brother, Prlnre Henry.
The crowds after the first hush of
awe bussed with comment on the prin
cipal* In the procession. Identifying and
commenting—with a shocking lack of
respect.
Kitchener and Rooaavslt.
Ths lions of the occasion were Lord
Kitchener and Theodore Roosevelt with
the kaleer a close third.
■There’* Teddy!" was the cry act up
aa the ex-president passed and the
throngs saw him thru the open win
dows of the cloeed royal carriage, which
was gorgeously gilded and manned by
uniformed coachman and footmen. More
Interest was shown In America'* envoy
than In the new king, w ho eeemed worn
and troubled. Only the solemnity of
the ’occasion prevented volleys of
cheers • from greeting Mr. Roosevelt.
He atone ee a civilian, raised hie hat In
passing the draped standards, all the
others In the procession giving the mil
itary astute.
In the long train of resplendent en
voy* Mr. Roosevelt was distinguished
by the simplicity of his garb. He wore
evening drees, a white tie and n silk
hat. There had been much speculation
upon what the former president would
wear. Hie clothing w n» that prescrib' d
by convention.
It was unrelieved even by ribbon of
an order such os M. Plchon, tho French
representative, wore, nnd yet. bv this
complete simplicity. Mr. Roosevelt we*
given prominence rather than rendered
Inconspicuous.
The Funeral Music.
Prom the first deep roll at Westmin
ster to the last stave the day was mag
nificent to the car a< well to the eye.
The overture for drums, composed
by Lieutenant Regan especially for the
obsequies, came like the wall of a na
tion over tt* dead.
Starting low. Increasing In volume
beat by beat. It rose till, with n roar
like cannon. It broke Into the ehrtll ro
of the trumpets. The <00 men of the
royal guards bands—the First and Sec.
ond Life Guards, the Coldstream, the
Bcotrh, the Irish, the Orenndler and
the Royal Horse - were led by Lleuten
lining the way from the station to Bt.
Georges chapel maintained rigidly the
military arrangements. The ceremo
nial were brief. A last prayer was
said, and while music still echoed thru
the chapel the members of the famll:
gathered around the coffin. The esn
tral figure wae Alexandra. On one aide
was Princes* Victoria: on the other,
within reach of her hand, stood King
Georgs. As the last solemn word was
said ths queen mother spasmodically
clutched Victoria’* arm. Then the re
mains were placed In the vault and the
obsequies over Edward came to an end
with prayer and th* soaring death mu
sic of the king of England.
Flowers Worth $250,000.
About the chapel at Windsor unas
banked but a portion of the floral trib
utes. All told, 25 tone of flowers have
been sent, their value exceeding J250,-
000.
Among the pieces set prominently
In the chapel were those from Presi
dent Taft, with a email American flog
attached, and from Mr. Roosevelt.
The terrific rush resulted tn the In
jury of hundreds and In the day fully
1,600 patients were treated at hospital*.
