For the Register.
The System of the Comets and their
Cause.

Mr.. Editor 1T is we'll known tina! The
Copernicsn or artificial system OF AsIton-
oDy has never been sufficient for lis su.
lhors TO account for The cause and system
Of the Comets; We, when we are ready to
believe 10 the natural and true system oil
Astronomy, there is no difficulty IN dis
covering the true and unsllered system OF
the Comes. Comets are by no means
wandering stars as the CopeTnicsns sup
pose. neither do they 60 out Of our sys'
TEN and return as some have lgnorsnHy
supposed, altr many years. But 'hey
are simply some Of The Stars of our hrma-
menl and give lighi upon the earth sIml.
lar TO hundreds and thousands of other
stars that were put in The firnamen! OF The
heavens 10 give light upon The earth!
They belong however 10 thai class OF &C.
les,isl lights that are subject to transit
of Mercury across the Suns disc. Du.
ring This transit, as in 1858, side view
OF this phenomena called Comet va; pre-.
senled to view for more than two months,
a, which rlme the writer discovered that
the Comet was covered BY tie lnIerven-
ton of the planet Mercury, between The
COmet.star and the Sun The planet
Mercury being a red hot planet and near
er to the Sun than any other knoTn star
or planet, ecipses The Suns centre to the
Comet-slar, and forms The head with he
envelope aud produces the Comets tail,
sometimes more, sometimes less. and
sometimes as in 1911 and 1858, like
Peacock's tail, Of circular form. The
course OF the Comets then proves that
the Sun, Moon and Stars, and all the
heavenly hosts, revolye from Fast 10 West
about the earth, because the Sun, Mercu'
nv, and the Comet.slar continue their
course together and in conjunction, not
only for a day but for weeks, and some
times as in 1911 and in 1858, for more
than two months. When Mercury gets
oul of line and c. asses TO intervene be-
tween the star end Sun, HE Comet ceases
10 be seen. Yet the same star remains
to be seen for long time in the heavens
afterwards Without any indication OF Iesv-
ing our system for other parts unknown
TO US. The Comet OF 1853 is traced back
to 100. ll47. 1894, l24l, 1888, 1885,

OF ~ years, or very nesrl so. 1t gen.
orally terminates in October and al very
near the same time in The year. 1t is
therefore not as ye, exactly known what
the Comets synodca period is with
Mercury. When il ia known, then the
exact central time csn be given. We,
however, mus, resi- content until the side
view is reduced to practice by exact igu'
ring. 1t will now be- understood that the
Intervention OF the planet Mercury is The
cause Of all The Comes, and should the
planet Mercury be vanished from the
heavens The Comets would cease to be
seen. But let us devoutIy hope that the
heavenly bodies, will forever illuminate
our path and shine upon the earth, while
