EARTH ARMORED III A SECURE WAY

Vienna Astrologer Points Out How Comet's Tail Could Not Be Injured. A MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY IN A LITTLE AUSTRIAN TOWN A MAN AND A WOMAN WERE FOUND MURDERED IN TAXICAB 18 NO CLUE. (American N'ewi Service) Vienna, May 1J3. Dr. Archenhold, a celebrated German astronomer, ha3 been ridiculing the fears expressed that living creatures would be killed by the gases In the tail of Halley's comet when it brushed the earth. He likened the passage of the earth through the tail to that of an elephant through a cobweb. Moreover, the earth'B atmosphere acted like armor in preventing dangerous gases and ' such bodies as meteors from reaching the earth. He remarked that when a comet's tail was near the earth that there were always many "shooting tars," or meteors, to be seen. A Mysterious Tragedy. A mysterious tragedy in a taxi-cab Is reported from Pacy-sur-Eure, a chauffeur and a young woman, with bullet wounds in their heads, both being found inside the car, which had been standing a whole day by the roadside. A carter passed the automobile at 5 o'clock in the morning on his way to work. It was then standing on one side of the road, and he paid little attention to it. In the evening, as he was going home, he was surprised to see it still at the same place. He told the gendarmes, who proceeded to the spot, and found two bodies Inside. The young woman had long been dead, but the chauffeur, though he had been shot twice in the head was still breathing. He was taken at once to a hospital, but there la no hope of saving his life. .It was then learned that the couple had come to Pacy-sur-Eure the evening before, and had been at a cafe, where they took a drink. They drove away soon afterwards, and there was nothing to indicate any desperate resolution on their part. It is supposed that shortly after leaving Pacy they put an end to their lives. Before doing bo, however, the chauffeur thought of other motorists and to prevent a possible collision at night, he took the trouble to station the automobile in which they were to commit suicido well on one side of the road. A card revealed his name and the identity of the young woman. The chauffeur was well-known in a suburban resort. He was married, but it is alleged, had been separated from his wife and was living with the young woman found dead in. the car beside him. He had purchased the automobile by installments, but had been unbale to pay it off entirely, and was threatened with legal proceedings. For some months he is said to have been In a Very depressed Btate of mind. PROTEST ON WAGON i Chemical Wagon for New Hose ; House Was Not Up to Specifications.
