WEAVER.—The quiet of our little
community was disturbed on Monday
morning, about eight o’clock, when
the death angel entered the home of
our friend and neighbor and took
with it the spirit of the head of the
home, George J. Weaver. Mr. Weaver
had been in ill health for some time
past but was feeling so much better
that when, on Sunday morning, the
word went about that he was again
confined to his bed there was some-
thing of alarm. But when death came
it was a profound shock, as his fam-
ily and friends were hopeful of his
recovery. After intense suffering for
a long time he is now at rest where
there is no longer any pain and sor-
row. His wife, who before her mar-
riage to Mr. Weaver was Miss Kate
Stover, survives with one sister, Mrs.
C. C. Bell. of Huntingdon, and two
brothers, C. A. Weaver, of Bethlehem,
and T. C. Weaver, of this place. The
funeral was held Thursday at 10 a.
m., in charge of his pastor, the Rev.
G. A. Fred Griesing, of the Reformed
church, of which he was a faithful
member. He was also a member of
the Knights of the Golden Eagle, of
Millheim.

A NEW COMET
HEADING THIS WAY.
Comets, according to Dr. Andrew is
Crommelin, of Greenwich Observa-
tory, are not and never will be dan-
gerous to the earth.
Dr Crommelin, one of the world’s
leading experts on comets, has recent-
ly been taking photographs of the
Pons-Winnecke comet, which is now
approaching the earth at the rate of
a million miles a day.
On June 27 this comet will be near-
est to us, namely, three and a half
million miles away. “There was
much excitement in 1921,” said Dr.
Crommelin, “when Pons-Winnecke
was twelve million miles away, and
people thought that it might burn us
if it came too near. But there is no
fire in a comet. The tail is a mere
bunch of vapors, which are so thin
that you can even see stars through
them. Twice in modern times we
have gone through the tail of a com-
et, the last occasion being in 1910,
when we went through the tail of
Halley’s comet.”
Even if the head of a comet struck
the earth, Dr. Crommelin thinks, there
would be no serious consequences.
The head of a comet is a dense swarm |.
of -meteoric masses, and some of the"
bigger meteors might cause a few:
casualties. But that is all; and ‘that
is likely to occur only once in mil-
lions of years.
