you uso the cheap and Big Can Kinds you are getting quantity at the sacrifice of

That there will be no collision is as
evident as that an elevated train may
safely cross i surface road above or
a subway beneath When the comet
crossed the earths path early in March
for it is even now within our orbit-
it was iri000CCO miles above us and
miles beyond our farthest known plan- wnen lt wni plss out ieyomi tue snme

the comet From these figures mil-

although with each mile of its return
it has felt increase of attraction in the
sun and has thus been obliged to quick
en its pace steadily it has nevertheless
refused to rush straight to the suns
bosom Still retaining a fragment of
that original momentum with which it
came into our system ages ago -no one
knows from where- it lias persistently
lion or two may be clipped in the day

of the comet will be greatest on tho

was when discovered by Professor
Wolf

saw it in their powerful glasses and minutes
they have been following it ever since Xo it 5s minifest that vastlv
with an interval of a few weeks ex
cepted when it passed the sun the
last of March and removed from the
evening to the morning sky
Will Not Collide With the Earth
On the 19th of April the comet
passed perihelion nearest the sun
was going its swiftest 1S7S miles a
minute and determinedly rounding the
curve to push on toward the earth as
if to drive straight into our orb and
end all things for both bodies At the
Rame time the arth was coming around
its curve in the opposite direction and
n rmrmiim
portant as this event is it will be en
tirely invisible to a large part of hu
manity by reason of the suns being
below the horizon at the hour named
France England Germany Italy
Spain and all the eastern part of the
United States will then be in the
shadow of night Only on our western
borders is there hope that the transit
may be witnessed and in the Hawai
ian Islands there is a much closer ap
proach to certainty Professor Barnard
has estimated that the size of the com
ets head as seen from the earth will
be more than sufficient to cover -the
suns entire free It would therefore
seem that a remarkable phenomenon
Is at hand very closely approaching
an eclipse In character
Hass of Meteorites In Its Head
So it would be If the comets head
were solid like the moon but though
we are convinced that there Is solid
matter In it being probably made up
of a mass of meteorites held together
by their mutual attraction still we
know it to be much more largely gas
eous in its nature and shall have to
wait and see whether it be sutllclently
upaque to darken the sun or whether
It is so transparent that the sun can
shine tight through It as though a
thin cloud
With a telescope having an object
glass of fifteen inches in diameter a
body of scvenlj miles in diameter at
the distance of the comet would t liow
blade against the sun and with high
er power one of ten miles diameter
would do the same But It may b
that those most favorably situated
geographically will see just nothing at
all In all history there Is but one re
corded case of a comet transiting
the suns fie that of the great comet
of 1SS2 When it reached the sun it
disappeared entirely And it seems
likely therefore that in the present In
stance the sun will be darkened but
little if at all Yet all comets are not
alike and some spectacle altogether
unsuspected may present Itself to the
admiring gaze of all beholders
Earth comet and sun being In one
perfectly straight line at the time of
transit were the comets tall straight
the earth would be Involved In It at
the same moment since it sweeps back
from the sun into space no matter
which way the comet Is traveling
But the tail Is curved so that it will
come sweeping upon the earth possi
bly a few hours later and by that
time the relations of the two bodies
will so have changed by reason of
their swift passing that we shall not
pass through the middle of the tail
where it would measure at least 1000
000 miles across but through a por
tion where a smaller distance must
be traversed in order to make our exit
The Question of Danger
The first question is of course that
of danger Will the earth and all
things therein be destroyed as the 30
000 inhabitants of St Pierre were laid
low in three minutes by the poisonous
fumes of Mount Pelee Our answer
is that if the earth should graze the
comets head possibly its vapors would
so fill our atmosphere that nothing
could thereafter live But at a point
in the tail 14000000 miles from that
head Ave are perfectly safe as we
should be indeed half or one fourth
that distance The comets tail is lit
erally next to nothing The little that
it is will not affect our atmosphere in
any unpleasant or harmful way There
Is as much danger in a searchlight or
a rainbow and infinitely more in the
fumes of the chimneys and automo
biles of a city It is true that it fc of
a gaseous nature but so extremely thin
that the faintest stars can be seen
through a million miles of its volume
The next question pertains to the
spectacle If the transit may prove
invisible will the plunge throagb the
tail prove equally so It may for in
1S19 the earth went through 2 comets
tail without any one knowing it and
In l SOl it did the same though it was
remembered afterward that a strange
aurora like appearance had been ob
served at the time a certain yellow
ness of sky which was even thought
worthy of record though its connec
tion with the comet had not been sus
pected It is not unlikely that we
shall have an experience somewhat
like that In the morning of May IS
before sunrise the tail is likely to be
seen extending from the eastern to
ward the western horizon In the
evening of the 19th after sunset the
tail is likely to be seen extending from
the western toward the eastern hori
zon but late during the night of the
ISth the entire heavens are likely to
be seen carrying a faint and peculiar
radiance due to the fact that we are
immersed hundreds of thousands of
miles in the comets tail The chief
thing to militate against the spectacle
will be the moon which that night Is
ten days old and will not set till 245
In the morning But inasmuch as the
peculiar sky radiance in 1SG1 was seen
even in the daytime we may hope that
fair Luna will be good enough since
she is generously granted half the
nights of each month not to spoil the
marvels of so extraordinary an occa
sion as this
When this great day of the comet
has passed if will be seen for some
time night after night in the western
sky after sunset first at about its lar
gest then rapidly growing smaller as
It retreats into the depths of space
and becomes once more invisible not
again to charm the eye awaken the
wonder and stir the awe of mankind
until most of us have been long for
gotten in our humble graves
