did not think that he had any special
object in making the trip, still he could
not say positively that Vanderbilt had
no designs on the Union Pacific. If

DANGEROUS COMET.
Iflt Falls Into the Sun What WIN be III.
Result?

Result?
Washington, ID. o.. Oct. 8.-Prof. Skin.
ner, oi the Naval observatory, was intcl-
viewed this evening in relation 10 the
opinion OF Prof. Proctor and other emf.
nent European scientists, that tho pres.
ent comet is that of l843 aud 1880 and
that IT will again appear IN 1888 and fall
INTO the sun. causing terrible disaster to
the earth. he said that while Mr. Proc.
TOR had a reputation among astronomers
for making rash announcements, there
was no use in ridiculing his ideas. The
comet now visible, he said, was certainly
very remarkable one, and in some of it's
features was an extraordinary phenome.
non. As to the possibility Of q meeting
between the comet and the sun at some
time in the near future, he said, such an
event was BY no means improbable. He
did not think it would be safe at this
time to hazard definite opinion on
Prot: Proctor's prophecy: ''The comet
will be visible for month vet. and We
hope" he said, ITO be able, with the aid
Of . telescope. to follow it q month and
half. We have not made y sufficient
number OF observations yet nor has it
been visible long enough to determine
its course. We don't know yet, nor will
We be able for some time to find out,
whether the track OF the comet be that OF
parobola or an elliptic. II it be the lat
ter. there is some reason to expect SER
ious consequences. The great comet
now visible travels in a patch practically
colncident with the comet OF lS43 and
lsoO. Hubbard found the period of
revolution of the comet of 1843 to be
over 500 years. The period Of revolu-
ton OF the comet Of 1880 was over thirty
years. The period of the great comet
now visible is not yet calculated with
certainty, owing to the limited time of
observation. These three comets at the
time OF the nearest approach to the sun
must traverse the solar atmosphere, thus
experiencing great degree OF resistance.
The facts, as far known. are that these
comets are observed to travel in the
same path. II they are the same comet,
that comets path must have been VIC.
!ently changed by some ontside force.
II they are not the same comet, then the
hypothesis Of Prof. Stafford that they are
pieces OF the l843 comet may be held as
probable" Prof. Skinner concluded by
saying that it was idle to make any pos
tive predictions of the future move
ments OF this comet until it had been
observed through longer arc. He said
that even if Prof. Proctor's prediction
should be born out it wouldn't necessari.
ly follow that the destruction of the
earth would result. 1t was all owing to
what the comet might be made of. He
did not believe it to be SO very pondera.
BILE an affair, and in the face Of ite com.
ing in contact with the sun, the sun
may be able to take care of it without
apy difficulty.

thing he detested more than another it

my quarters quick, and bring my hand

and started for the quarters several hun
dred Yards distant. After he had pro-
ceeded q short distance, remembering
that there was no time to lose, he broke
into trot, "See that - scoupdrel
