OUR CELESTIAL VISITOR.
il Asou. to Bid Adieu Afssr shor. Cain.

The comet which took the country by sur
prise about the 22l of june has about disaD-
peared to all who have not the accessories OF
telescopes 10 drag his head and hair back in
10 the realms of vision. II Is about to bid Us
alien for seventy-fonr years, the astronomers
say, and such being the case few good
night remarks are in order.
Perhap. the most interesting one Is that
Professor Hardness thinks ii probable the
earth passed through the tail of the comet
about the Goth of June, two days before it was
discovered. This reminds one very much OF
the stale wittici IN, :" II you hit me and
find II out I'll -" and should disabuse the
public miad of any apprehension Of danger
from these tramps Of the skies. Scientists
have been very successful with the telescope,
camera aud sprctrorcope in examining this
comet, but yet seem 10 be in doubt as to its
identity. lis established IL j. not the c omei
Of 1872, but may be thatof 1907. The return
of the former Is predicted some time within
the next eighteen months.
The measurements made bv Professor
Sharplcss, Of Haverford College, show the
actual diameter of the comet is about 100
miles, IL, distance from the earth, July I,
wa. about 4o,o0Oooo miles, and the length Of
It's tail was estimated al IA 100000 miles. The
coma or mist imrns diarely surrounding the
nucleus Is pear shaped. The nucleus Is in
great activity, matter projecting from it out
toward the sun aud il thenrepelled back into
the tan. This activity increased n the COM
1T approached the sun and subsidized As IL re-
celed. Prof. SAarples. holds that the spec
troscops settles il that the comet has a solid
body shining by reflected light, like the
moon, and thinks the luminous gas Of the
tail Is carbon. This former opinion Is, we
believe, nc variance with the accepted theory
concerning comets, and, ~ their orbits are
eccentric, il Is somewhat remarkable, IL this
theory il true, that somewhere In space In
the great cycle of time, comet has not col

The Incisors Of the Horse.

The incisors of the horse. once worn
down or lost, are gone forever, but in
many species provision exists by
which the wear and tear Of mastica,ion
is compensated by the perpetual growth
of certain members of the dental Sc
ries. This very convenient arrange
ment exists in all the rodents, or gnaw
crs, an order of which the beaver, the
rat, and the rabbit are familiar exam
pies, and also in the elephant, wal
rus. wild boar, etc. The incisors
of the rodents are tine seat of this
perpetual growth. and any one who
will take the trouble TO examine the
skull of r rabbit viii at once see how
admirably they are adapted To the ami
NAL wants. They are OF carved shape,
and occupy sockets extending 10 the
back part of both Jaws, the upper pair
describin" n larger part Of Il smaller
circle, and the lower ones smaller
part Of 81 larger circle. Each tooth
consists of solid column of dentinc.
with plate of enamel in lis outer SUR
face, and, consequently, diminishes in
hardness from front 10 back. The con-
slant wear produced by the continual
collision If the opposing surfaces forms
an obliquc chisel-likc surface, slopng
from the hard enamel of the front To
the softer dentine Of the back part Of
the tooth. As these teeth are pcrpetu-
ally growing. they require constant ex-
erc,r 10 keep their growth within due
bounds. and the rat and Others OF this
most mischicvous family might assign.
as an excuse for their ravages, the ne
ceSsity of finding constant employment
for their front teeth.-AU Tie Year

In Elvsian Fields.

It is not generally known, l believe.
that the famous garden known as the
Elysian Fields is only few doors out
of the beautiful Champs Elysee. Per-
haps some one will ask, And pray what
is the Champs Elysee? In reply, must
say it is Paris, France, the whole world.
There is no such avenue elsewhere on
the face of the globe. and all sO-called
bOulevards, no matter where situated,
pale into insignificance when compared
with Elysian Fields of Paris. Every
ono goes into Champs Elysee to talk
about the races, women, pictures, all
things interesting. excepting politics.
II you want to discuss politics. just

built from the stones of the Bastile, and

Sit in the grand thoroughfare of an
afternoon, and witness the fashionable
folk and see the demi-mOndaine return
ing from their drive in the Bots dc
BOulogne. The avenue is an immense
inclined cone through which host of
carriages is constantly ascending or
descending. At the bottom is the Place
dc la Concorde, with its many monu-
ments and beautiful fountains, and its
lost part of tho Egyptian god Osiris,
with the Garden of the Tuileries for a
background. At the top of the great
Arc de Triumphe overlooking every
thing; and behind it the setting sun
shining in er-colOred tint, speaking
to ones heart in language not easily
translated. Under the trees tho prom
enaders are numerous. Little boys
and girls with their nurses surround
tho Punch and judy shows; and,
strange TO say. the uninterrupted. white
aprOned young women in charge are
paying great deal more attention to
certain men in army uniform than they
are TO the rising generation intrusted
to their care by hopeful mammas.
All tho iron chairs. ut two sous each,
are let to ladies, who are resting their
weary bones, or are watching the de-
flo of carriages, cOlOring the panorama
now and again with bits of gossip
about this. that or the other fair occ,I-
pant. On the gravelled tracks bellies
petit walk and watch, just as many of
the Jeau-anOntie in the iron chairs are
also on the keen lookout for men with
money. All sorts of Partisan comedies
are played here. and not to have visited
the Elysian Fields is worse than going
