influence OF the comet yielded at times TO the
force Of natural laws But however this may
be, his tables are important, as showing an
exceptional condition of the atmosphere. lie
also noted peculiar shadow that fell across
the city OF Philadelphia in direction from
northwest to southeast, although there were
no clouds in the sky to produce it Professor
Wise says Of this remarkable phenomenon,
nothing could satisfy my conjectures OF the
cause so we'll as the idea that the attenuated
envelope OF the comet was transmitting
beams and rays Of sunlight with focal power,
into our atmosphere and thus producing POSI-
tive and negative lines as we find them un-
der the spectroscope." The hypothesis that
this dark appearance was simply portion OF
the city which had not been reached by the
street cleaners does not seem to have occurred
to him, and we dismiss it as unworthy Of no
tice. The peculiar shadow was no doubt
caused by some atmospheric condition, and
not at all due to the Board of Health.
Whether or not the comet was responsible for
this well-defned penumbra, as it certainly
was for great many shadowy theories, we
are not prepared to say but the observations
made by Professor Wise deserve the investiga-
ton Of meteorologists. He has always been
an earnest worker in the cause Of science and
his reports are entitled to acceptance, what
ever the scientific world may think OF this
particular theory.

A Few Legal Questions.

We have squandered o large amount of
money in blundering and improbable htiga-
ton within the past two or three years in the
city government. The "ring SUITS after being
vigorously prosecuted" at cost of many
thousands of dollars, have been upset by the
Court Of Appeals and must be commenced de
novo We now hear that proceedings have
been commenced against the Broadway Bank
to recover money paid on city warrants when
the signatures of the parties entitled to receive
the amounts were, as alleged, forgeries. Two
questions present themselves which, as the
suit will involve very heavy legal costs to the
city, may as well be considered before any
on these warrants, if improperly paid on for
geries, belonged to the people whose names
were forged. Is the city the right plaintiff to
sue for it's recovery The City Chamberlain
is the custodian of the public moneys
He gives heavy sureties for their safe
keeping. He selects bank or banks in
which TO deposit the moneys. If one of these
banks should fail, or misappropriate the
moneys, or pay them out on forged checks
and warrants the City Chamberlain, and not
the bank, would be responsible to the city,
and he or his sureties would have to make
good the loss. The city would have nothing
to do with the defaulting or careless bank.
Which is the proper party to sue in the case
of these warrants with alleged forgeries in the
signatures of those entitled to receive the war
rants if the city is the party entitled to sue
for money at au2 The bank or the City

A Balloon Chase After the Comet.

The theory that comets are wandering non-
neither give nor take information. has not con-
vinced Professor John Wise, the celebrated
aeronaut, whose account Of his recent aerial
experiences was published in yesterdays
HERALD. During the time that Coggia's
comet was hanging about the earth the
of Philadelphia were suspicious of its move
ments, and probably thought it had evil de-
signs upon the Centennial They, therefore,
commissioned Professor Wise to go up and in
quire, and we are very glad to know that he
has come down again.
The Professor has brought with him an in
teresting account of the novel phenomena he
observed, which deserve further investigation.
Every one should know that as we ascend from
the surface of the earth the temperature of the
atmosphere becomes colder in proportion to the
height. This is well known fact, illustrated
by the eternal SHOWS which crowns the SUBMITS
of the highest mountains, and by the records of
innumerable balloon voyages. Professor Wise
had found this law invariable during thirty
nine years of adventure in the air, in which
he had made 446 ascensions. The 447th, on
the 30th of July, astonished him, for the
higher he rose the hotter it became, till, as
he expresses it, he felt as if he we're approach
ing confagration. This reversal of oil e1-
perience he attributes to cometary influence.
This balloon ascension was made ut four
o. clock in the afternoon, when on the earth
the thermometer stood at ~ deg. Nine min
utes afterwards, OF a height Of 5400 feet, it
registered 81 deg, at $500 feet it was Sc deg,
but these proportions were not always exact, as
will be seen by an examination of his tabular
statement Of the variations of heat COM
pared with altitude. Thus, at only ], ,450 feet
the thermometer was 80 deg, and half an hour
afterward, at a, 900 feet it had fallen to 10. This
irregularity he explains by the huctuaton OF
the perpendicular and horizontal movement
of the balloon. and perhaps the accidental
