that they must apprcseh nearly as close ~ the

Now, ifthey were shut ont vhen Uranus was q

comets are expelled from planet, they Will b
carried along with the forward motion. II II
could appear that aome Of them went baskwArd
then We would have no evidenes Of the theory

foeWard, then We should have some evidence foz
the theory. Now there ID this curious faet. thai
all the comets Of lhort periods, the whole Of u
pliers comet family, travel forward. Thsy d
not travel IN all directions Of slops all have Z
very moderate slope to the path Of the planet
They do NOT have the slope even Of some Of thu
asteroids. That II precisely what W nolies-that
they travel very mach with Jupiter. Taking tn
balance between the two theoRies-that Of expul
