TnR cnMIN,i COMET.

The following IS an extract from a private let
Ter Of q gentleman in St. Louis:
Now, BY way Of certifying yOur mind against
feaa permit me to remind yOu that astronomers
throughout the world are at this time looking for
the rs-appeuance Of HaIey's great comet Of 1905
The near approach Of this planet in embryo will
influence our planet. perhaps The entire solar sys-
TEN. 1t will be attracted by the sun, and theu
repeIlel by it; il sill both attract and repel the
planets Of the solar system, and appear to create
disorder and confusion. But have no fears, 1t
can neither attract or be attracted so as to come in
contact with any of the heavenly bodies. The
most It can do to any Of the planets tours not ex-
oeptedl will be 10 change the currents OF their
electrical envelopes. This will have 4 tendency to
give Us the warmest or coolest Weather (should
the comet appear soon) experienced since I765,
ShOald the earth's electricity be attracted or re-
PEELED to either pole, the temperate zones will en-
Joy an unusual degree Of m%ildness; on the other
haud, should the earth's electric sheen be gather
ed into folds nearing the equatorial regions, then
indeed may we expect the most intense cold evel
experienced in this climate. In either event ths
disturbance Of the ocean Of electricity in which
the solar system floats will produce extraordinary
results in atmospheric temperature, wind currents
and vegetation, until the electric equilibrium shall
be re-establshed.
