Docked Talei About Comets and Their
si , t i
Orderly Movements. I
ASTIQUITY OF HALLE Y'S ROUNDER j
I
Contrary Theories Worked Ont by
Astronomers - Peculiarities of
Same of the Other Well
Known Visitors.
Snce the year 1J. before the Christian
era Italley'a comet haa returned regulsrly
every seventy-five years from Its Journey
beyond Neptune toward the confines of the
solar system. It periodicity was assumed
for the first tlbe by the English astronomer
ITalley, who predicted its return at the
close of the year 1758 or the beginning of the
year 17X.1. It appeared In March, 171S, snd
proved the periodicity of on comet from
which the return of others was Inducible.
Comets must not be confounded with
stars. They have their own places and their
own movement In the heavens. Nor can
they be considered ss planwts. because
planets turn around the sun In the same
direction, while comets have been known
to travel a fast In one direction as In an
other. Soma comets are tailless; others
grow tails when they are In the vicinity
of the sun.
If there were no other distinguishing
features the transparency of comets and
the feeble density of their constltutent
matter would be enough to show that they
are not stars. The matter which constitutes
the stars Is much more condensed than
eometary matter. Only the eomets of great
dimension comets that pass close to the
sun are visible to the nsked eye. It Is
probable thnt many pass the earth unseen,
since the astronomers can observe but a
limited portion of the flrmamet.t. Thous
ands, perhaps million, traverse our planet
ary system In the course of a year; snd
we may say with Kepler that there are
as many comets In the heavens as there
are flshea In the sea.
Obeying; the Law.
All the celestial travelers obey the law
of gravitation. Nothing but the law of
gravitation can explain the cometary move
ment. The Influence of the plane Jupiter
has been known to retard the re-appearance
of Halley's comet 51s days, while
Saturn has retarded It 100 days.
Comets coming from, afar may become In
volved by some uncalculated Influence and
attached to our planetary system, but such
Unisons are not Indissoluble Any new
planetary perturbation may send the
transient shooting through the vast fields
of space again.
Kant, Faye and others bequeathed to un
profound conceptions concerning the stars,
and recently Fabry advanced the theory
that the universe was filled with cosmic
matter by a gesture of the Creator, and

If they were as far distant as astron
omers calculated that they were when they
began their allotted work, it will take them
176,000 years to accomplish their descent.
If they were placed ten times farther away
on that first day when tneir work was
laid out for them, they will, though nearer
than the nearest stars, take 5.600,000 years
to fall to our level. In any case, they sre
nothing but portions of the primitive nebula
which has been In evolution since Its origin
without exchanging any matter with the
rest of the universe.
Solar Strays.
This Is Fabry's Idea. But not all astrono-
mers agree witn nim. Lapiace caueu
comets "little nebulas straying through the
solar system." Schlaparelll believes, with
Stromgren, that there are comets which
come aboard" ouf planetary system from
the center of gravity of the great universal
whole formed by the sun and the planets
and that they do not come either from an
origin or co-ordination or from the solar
center,
If Stromgren's theory Is correct tho great
comet of 1890 came toward earth at a high
rate of speed from some foreign system.
What system was It? Where Is It?

as to their transparence; and It Is ad

Z by tnT pun'XnVr TZ
In thetr neighborhood. When a stone falls
on the earth the force of universal at
traction drawn the alone and the earth
together; but the perturbation felt by the
earth Is Inslgnlflcint compared with thai
Inflicted by attraction upon the Infinitely
snaller mass, the stone. When Lrxall'i"
comet came near earth In 1770 It was only
t.000.000 kilometers asythe comet de
viated visibly, althouch the earth showed
no sensible change of movement.
The comet would have varied Ihe year t
length by three seconds i,nd Its mass been
the equlvnlent of the tn.iss of the earth.
Hut the astronomers watching It and
watching the earth noted no change. The
some comet passed between Jupiter and
Its aatlltrs without changing th period
of their revolution.
What Are Comets Mad off
As far as man can judge, the cometary
mass Is very weak; and the comet In all
but Ita nucleus Is excessively dislntVl.
Nothing could be more chlmerti-sT Aiart
fear of disaster by collision between the
comet and the earth. Such a collision is
possible., but a disaster Is IniprobshLe.
Probably the tails of comets are compotT-d
of condensed particles as well as gas. The
gaseous center contains carbon In the trip!
form of cyonogen, carburate of hydrogen,
and oxide of carbon. So, presumably, there
are In the cometary atmosphere carbon.
hydrogen and asote. The great comet ot
1RSI contained sodium. Vogel of Potsdam
heated a fragment of meteoric stone in a
Qelssler tube traversed by electric .re
charges and studied the nature of the n
contained In the stone. He fouod that ,
gases were the same aa those noted In
comets.
The talis of the majority of comets cecal
from the star or nucleus like smoke blown
by the wind when the comet leaves the
neighborhood of the sun. When the comet
approaches the sun its tall stretches behind
It. When it has passed the sun Us tall
passes ahead of Its nucleus and precedes 11
as It goes on Ita Journey. There have been
exceptions to this rule; some abnormal
comet tails have ' turned toward the sun.
Hut notable astronomers, Including Kepler
believe that there Is a natural repulsion be
tween the sun and cosmic matter. Max
well and Bartoli made all the hypotheses
of the astronomers agree by proving the
existence of what they termed the pressure
of radiation. This theory Is that when an
Incandescent body radiates heat and light
the waves are propagated around that body
In space, repelling the objects they break
against. American scientists have demon
strated the existence of the pressure of
radiation by means of a sand-glass, uslna.
very fine emery powder and spores of
calcined lycopodium instead of sand.
Concerning; the Tall.
The theory of the pressure of radiation
gives the only plausible explanation of the
movements of comets' tails when the
comets approach or recede from the sun.
All that we know of the constitution of tho
sun, as well aa Information given In recent
works concerning the aurora borealis,
leads us to admit that the sun acts as a
powerful center of tho electrons, or atoms
of negative electricity, incessantly pro
jected into the dark abysses of space. The
electrons so thrown out strike the gaseous
matter expelled from the meteorites form
ing the tails of comets and that matter
abruptly spreads out In the surrounding
space. Thus is formed something that we
should call a "fog" composed of little drops
of gaseous matter. When the solar radia
tions exert their pressure on this fog the
particles run away, leaving behind -them a
luminous furrow. But as the gas that has
not condensed Is left, the cometary nebu
losity compresses both little drops and
gases, and the drops collect and diffuse the
light of the sun.
When Brook's comet appeared, In 1889.
It was followed by four satellites. Thosa
satellites (as was proved at the time) had
been separated from the star during Its
passage between Jupiter and Jupiter's
satellites. When the same comet returned,
acven years later, It was alone; Its satellites
were gone; It had found means to drop
them or they had gone astray.
Many dislocations of the same sort have
been noted. Blela'a comet gave the world
striking proof of cometery fragility. When
Biela's comet was first recognised, It was
a brilliant star reappearing every alxth
year. In 1846 It appeared In the form of
two stars which traveled with unequaled
speed. The two stars reappeared In ISM,
when they were seen on two nights only.
That was the last of them. Since then
what was known as Biela's comet has
never been heard of.
It Is easy to believe that it Is the debris
of comets Incessantly powdering the skies
which gives us what we call "falling" or
"shooting" stars. Harper's Weekly.
SERUM MASTERS DISEASE
Preventive and Curative Treatment

One of the foremost of American sur
geons, who on Saturday sailed from New
Tork for Europe apparently upon a some
what hurried, call, was anxious for Import
ant professional reasons that there be no
announcement of his departure. He eg.
pects to return In the mid-spring, snd may,
at the annual meeting In St. Louis of the
American Medical association, or that de
partment of It which deals chiefly with
surgery, make some rather Important an
nouncements. The surgeon was especially pleased that
he would be ab.'a to report to his friends
In Europe thst the demonstration of tha
success of the preventive and curative
treatment of cerebro-splnal meningitis,
discovered and perfected by Dr. Simon
Flexner, at the Rockefeller Institute, is
now complete. It was made by Dr. Flexner
hlmaelf before a large gathering of men
of science and of medicine two or three
evenings sgo. Heretofore no more has been
claimed for Dr. Flexner's discovery then
that In all probability It would be found
as available for use In meningitis ss Is the
diphtheria serum for the cure of that ones
dreaded disease. It was known, however,
that Dr. Flexner would not go further than
to express hope of the success of his
methods until he was able to make a dem
onstration to his medical conesgues. That
demonstration has now been made. It Is
regarded as justifying the claim that cer.
bro-splnal meningitis Is now under control.
Physicians regard this ss the moi Im
portant medical discovery since the perfect
ing of the serum for diphtheria. For there
has been no mors dreaded disease than
cerebro-splnal meningitis It Is deadly; It
comes with almost volcanic violence, some
times sweeping through communities, sh
peclally liable to affect children, producing
what Is often called Infantile paralysis. It
has slso been as mysterious a disease as
Is scsrlet fever. Philadelphia Ledger.
