day Tennessee whs blanked
Coach Colter is putting the men
through very heavy work, and the

chines in the south, and it has only
been in the past week, that the team
has developed any offensive work.
Coach Colter is an expert on the line,

made of rock, and as Coach Johnson

merous trick plays have been per
fected, and the team is In great shape.

of Tech, offering to play for Georgia

Georgias band will go over, this with

and demonstrative representation at
the game.

HOW ELEPHANTS
GET OUT OF CARS
A Description of Scene To
Be Viewed When Bur
mini & Bailey Cirous
Comes.
The most Interesting incident of
circus Any, which is fre© to all who
wish to avail themselves of the oppor
tunity, Is the arrival and unloading
of the fire special railway trains bear
ing the circus paraphernalia and the
animals. There are flvo hundred
t>eautlful horses with the Itanium and
Hatley Greatest Show on Earth
which will give two exhibitions here
next Monday.
One of tho especially Interesting
sights is the performance of two
mammoths in getting out of their
huge car.
The other elephants In this remark
able herd of 40 rare specimens of As
latlc and African origin In vacating
their traveling compartments walk
down a heavy gang-plank Mint In
clines from the ear door down to the
ground. The car doors are ten feet
high which of course makes the big
elephants stoop to get through as
they step out upon the descending
plank. The two mammoths are so tnil
and bo wide, however, that they can
not get out of the enr door until the
gangplank i» taken away. They
therefore calmly wait until all of
their travelling mates have “walked
the plank” and arc grouped together
awraitlng the coming of their leaders
Then It Is that the two monsters get
In motion, and prove that thev know
a filing or two atioiit the solution of
mathematical problems. They drop
to their knees, and wriggling their
great bodies forward slowly manage
to get their front feet out and upon
ihe ground
The floor of the car Is about five
feet above the ties of the roadway,
but this does not keep them from
reaching the solid foundation of the
earth without mishap or trying delay
Once their fore feet «>e on the ground
they draw their bodies forward, al
lowing their hind legs to drag along
the car floor. In this way they are
soon able to get one hind foot out
and then the reat Is easy. They act
os If they took more or less pride In
this feat, and as soon as It is achieved
they begin to trumpet and wave their
trunks with an energy that
deep-sealed satisfaction The watting
group of elephants greet this signal
of their leaders with an effective dis
play of their own. and begin to amble
In a circle with the hurried gait that
makes their ring performance both
astonishing and pleasing.
The five herds of elephants form
an attractive feature of the free street
parade which will leave the show
grounds about 10 o’clock on the
morning of show day.

That Stanley Ketchel had a terrible punch is shown by the photograph
above taken at the Johnson-Ketchel fight at Colma. It shows Johnson on the
floor after stopping one of the terrible swings that missed so often and
meant so well. Some of the spectators believed that Johnson fell purposely,
but he declared that he was knocked down.

OUR MYSTERIOUS VISITANT
HALLEY’S COMET
THE COMET
This series of six illustrated articles on Halley’s Comet will be notable as
chronicling the arrival in our sky (on September 11th last) of that monster
which in 1456 drove all Europe into a frenzy of fear, and which, at each of its
visitations before and since, has produced a profound impression on all man
kind.
Absent for seventy-five years, its return has already been detected by the
camera and large telescopes, and in December we shall begin to see it with the
naked eye. Nightly it will brighten and increase in bulk and length, until at
its most brilliant development the Comet will possibly stretch across one
third of the sky, reaching as far as a line of sixty full moons. Not before late
summer will it vanish from view, to be seen no more by mortals for another
three-quarters of a century.
It goes without saying that abclutely nothing w),ll so win popular attention
and excite popular interest for the next few months as Halley’s Comet.
THE AUTHOR.
The writer of these articles is Dr. Frederick Campbell, President of the De
partment of Astionomy in the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. Dr.
Campbell has long been a popular lecturer, chiefly on Astronomy, and for
more than twenty years a writer for the press. His articles for upward of
seven years were published monthly by the Brooklyn Eagle.
THE SERIES.
The first article deal with the appearance, dimensions and distance of the
Comet. The second wi h the dates when it will be at certain important points
in its course. The third will deal more specifically with the course of the
Comet, helping the re'ader to a clear conception of its performances. The
fourth article will handle the remarkable history of this Comet, reaching back
to the times before Christ. The fifth will be a study of the nature of this and
other comets. The sixth and last article will discuss the question of the possi
bility of collisions between this Comet and other comets, and the earth. t

The entire series is copyrighted and will appear locally only in The Herald.

The first article will appear in Saturday’s Herald; the second in next Sun
day’s Herald and the remaining four in The Sunday Herald, during the month

REHEARSAL TONIGHT
BY CHOR//L SOCIETY
The chorus for the December con
cert of the choral society is pro
gressingly finely. Prof. Battle Is
taking especial pains with the male
members who are receiving extra in
structions in his studio Saturday
evenings and they are fast catching
up with the feminine voices, though
the ladies have been more numer
ous at the rehearsals. All the pre
liminary training on the bridal cho
rus from “The Rose Maiden” has been
completed and “The Heavens Are
Telling” is being well mastered. The
rest of the score is expected daily
and prospects are so bright that it is
a safe statement that in this concert
the choral work will be even finer
than in last spring's festival.
There will be another rehearsal
this evening and Prof. Battle cau
tions everyone that he will ' begin
promptly at 8:15 and will not wait on
the tardy.
