shows that it is possible to get broken heads
even in the celestial regions, though we may
not know the precise means by which such
casualty is brought about. 1t is complained
of some of the comets by the astronomers that
they expand all their heads in the development
of their tails, without apparent advantage to
any one.
Coniectured Uses--It has been supposed,
as before stated, that comets serve to bind
the various systems of the universe together
Others imagine that their end is to fall into
sun to heat up the fires of that great heating
furnace; and fanciful German astronomer
gives it as his opinion that they run OFT into
other systems like errand boys to bring back
with them certain celestial fluid or gas nee
essary to the life of the solar system.
Rate of Notion-They move at all rates,
from tagging, scarcely perceptible pace at ap-
helion, to 500, 900 miles per hour at perihellon'
in some instances. The great comet of lS4o,
swept round the sun at such a prodigious rate
that in two hours it traversed more than y
| 600 900 miles of solar surface. 1t almost graz
ed the sun-became red hot, and retained
peculiar fiery appearance for several days
Its tail was los, 900, 900 miles long. Now
keeping in mind its rate Of motion at perlhe-
lion with such length of tail, we have come
| to the deliberate conclusion that in the contin'
gency of an individual having been seated up
on the extreme end of that appendage and los
ing his balance, he should have been carried
off bv the centrifugal force, in a tangent, anC
landed completely without the cosmos.
THE Present Comet-As to the comet nov
visible, so much has been said and so little il
definitely known, that we will not enlarge OF
the subject. 1t was discovered in Florence
Italy, on the I'd of June, 1858, and after
wards, but independently, in this country
1t was at first supposed to be identical witt
the comet of 1854 and 1927, with a period O
81 years, but of the truth of this suppositio
there is now some doubt The time Of it
perihelion passage has been variously stated
some of the calculations fix it for about tn
present time, and at about the distance frol
the sun of the planet Mercury. The come
first appeared in the northwest, in the regio
of the Great Bear and has continued to NOV
south until now it is some 10 or II degree
south of Arcturus. 1t is predicted that
will pass near to the planet Venus, and doub
less the socantS of that body will be on tn
tip-toe of expectation and scientific deligf
for several weeks to come. The tail of tn
comet seems to be increasing in length-it
now about 3O,OOO,OOO of miles long, and a
is frequently the case, is somewhat curved
having the convexity of the curve in the d
recton of its motion southwark.
