Montana and Idaho rangers are leading 2,000 fighters in a campaign to stem blazes in national forests, which fanned by high winds continue to large stands of valuable timbers. Fires were generally re- ported under control in other sec- tions of the Northwest. Volunteer firemen yesterday sue- ceeded in saving the town of Superior, in northern Montana, but lost control of the flames, which swept past the Blase in Blackfoet Forest. A new fire west of Glacier N.tlon Park, in the Blackfeet Forest, is esti- mated to have covered 10,000 acres and destroyed numerous ranch build- ings. A logging train rushed through a flaming forest last night to rescue three families trapped in their homes 40 miles south of Seattle. Other fires in this area threaténed logging camps. A high wind also trapped 45 firemen in the Pend Oreille Forest north of Sand Point, Idaho, but they were res. oued by rangers. northeastern Washington the -lmofuo men “failed to stop flames which had . covered 23,000 acres in the Kaniksu nationsl forest.

LONDON, July 19.—+Where did Pons-Winnecke, the comet, get to? On July 1, 1908, the earth passed through the track of -this comet, and on.that date the night clouds appeared so white and lumincus that people were able to read small-typed print indoors at 10:30° | p.o. This phenomenon' was: due to the scattering of - sunlight by the fine dust of the comet, esti- mated to be about 50 miles above the earth. Based on information recefved from Russia, Prof. H. H. Turner of Oxford University, asked the Brit- ish public to be on the lookout. for a recurrence of ‘the sight on the night of June 27. Nothing has been seen. It is now stated, in explanation, that a slip has been made in a mathématical calcula- tion, and that the elusive Pons- Winnecke is not really due over here until a year hence.
