Comets and POPULAR Delusions.

We alluded to this subject recently
describing briefly the nature and effect o.
comets. 1t is important to disabuSe the
public mind, as far as possible, of fears
and delusions on the subject. 1t would
be well for men of science to lecture on
this subject; tor the simple truth, rs it is
known would, we think, do good There
are strong reasons for this course. There
are many people in the country, and We
presume many in the city, who actually
believe that the world is coming to an
end when the comet appears! This seems
to be the case all over the country, and
also in Europe. A German recently in
formed us that he had letters from Ger
many which stated his friends there were
greatly alarmed. This delusion seems 10
be wider spread than that Of the Miller.
ties, II is not founded, like that, on any
religious idea; but upon a sort Of pan c,
which seems 20 have been set atlOat by
some indscreet French or German astron-
omer, who specnIated upon the possibility
of The comets brushing the earth as it
approached very near, The whole idea
is .ounded on a mere speculation. Any
one who has fears on the subject may
easily be consoled by rejecting that, if
this is a kao1ca comet, it certainly will not
touch the earth; for the orbits OF the
known comets have been calculated, and
they are known to proceed in elIipses, like
the others planets, and will not interfere
with them.| Ii on the other hand, it is
not a known comet nothing can be known
on the subject. 1t is mere guess work.
This generation have net seen really
splendid comet, and fone were to appear,
such as in former tines came across our
earthly vision, we fear many would be
astonsed indeed 1t was about .7G8 or
l770, that the Great Comet, as il was
called, Illuminated the heavens We have
been told. that al one time It's tail sire CHI
ed half across the heavens, and thousands
Of people were very much alarmed. If
such sight were now to be seen, popular
delusion and fear would be mogn.Ged 70
the highest degree.
We may here say, that it is impossible
toframe any idea Of the form and magni.
tude likely to be assumed by the tail Ii
the comet Should approach very near, the
tail viii probably be long, and luminous;
bot, if not, it is not likely to present very
formidable appearance. Cta. Gazette.
