The Comet.

1t will interest many readers to see the
following account of the earth's passage
through the tail ofthe comet of 1861, taken
from Brande & Cox's Dictionary of Science.
No one had an opportunity to observe the
phenomena with scientific accuracy:
About the time of the modal passage,
dune Is, evcning1 it was remarked that
the earth was behind the comet only two
degrees in longitude as seen from the sun,
and the latter body being the nearer to
that luminary it followed that the direc
tiun of the tail was such as to bring il either
upon or very nearly 10 our globe. Accord
ingly II was conjectured that, with due
allowance for curvature, 1t was quite pos
sihlc that the earth might have been in
volvcd in the tail on the evening of June
80, when she arrived at the comet modal
point of longitude. Observation subse-

determine the true direction of the tail
with more certainty. appear to indicate
that the main branch was in advance of
the earth on that evening, but that the
secondary tail. or the diffused ncbulosity
which separated from the principal ray
was actually directed upon Us. and was
probably intermingled with our atmos-

Christian religion, it is unfortunate for
it that he undertakes to defend it.

The article of "Anthropos" was an
able exposition Of the true place OF rea'
