SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
THE MANAGING COMET OF 1880.

Richard a. Proctor replies in KHOUiedge TO
the statement that he had predicted that the
world would be burnt mp IN 1897 by the fall OF
the comet Of 1850 into the sun. Mr. Proctor
shows that he never made such prediction.
He expresses the belief that the comet in que,-
ton Is not likely TO bring danger TO the solar
system, and that the world Is more likely 10 last
fifteen millions of years than 20 bc destroyed IN
fifteen. But although there Is not the slightest
rca son 10 fear that the comet of - i3 and lS~O

10 the solar system when finally absorbed, It
would be quite otherwise II such comet as
that of the year 1911 were to fall directly upon
the sun. This, the most remarkable OF all
known comets, says Nh, Proctor, was fortunately
some hundred million miles from the sun at the
time of its nearest approach 10 him, ana can
never bring the slightest trouble to the solar
system. But If its course had chauccd tc Oe
directed full upon the sun, the meteouc masses

rate of more than 800 miles per second, When

of heat far exceeding that which he constantly

have sutliccd.
So. again. what is now known OF cometic
structure leads 70 the belief that the comet Oi
ISIS, called Donatis, would have proved a very
dangerous visitor had its course led IL directly
toward the nucleus of the sun. Fortunately
the chance of any comet visiting our system
from uterstcllar space, travelling directly TO-
ward the sun. Is so small that u may be Ieck-
Oned almost at naked nothing. " 10 comets

The Charm of Manner.


A man died violent death in
New York few years ago, who
was known 30 all the country as y,
thief, a ibertine, speculative
gambler in the most exaggerated
degree, and who prided himself On
being known as such yet when he
| was dead there was sudden hush
of regret.
One person told how fond son
he had been to his father. Anoth.
er how generous was his care to
the poor. This man had a story to
tell OF bis jumping tro.u his car
riags to help fallen horse in the
road that, of the pet birds, who
followed the gambler from room to
room OF his house perching on his
shoulder, eating from his lips.
Even good men were So dazzled
by the sammy generosity, the warm
sympathy, and genial good com
radeship OF the man, tina. they
wer- @lnest blind, or at least were
silent, AS to his crimes, until the
secular press boldly denounced this
false charity, showed its probable
effect upon the boys who were Just
entering life, aud labelled the dead
man as only a successful, open
handed swindlcr.
New the point is, if geniality and
generosity are such goou qualities
as to lend gloss to debased and
vicious character, why do not good
people use them oftener to adorn
their real virtues +!
Nothing is 50 rare in the world
as that unsclfish, cordial, good fel-
lowship; that qa;ck throwing Of
ourselves into the interest and feel
ipgs Of sthers, which gavo to this
unprincipled man his magnetism
and influence. Nothing is so at
tractivc or powerful with eyory
rank or class Not beauty, or
money, or intellect. has it's irresist--
able charm. Simply because the
most Interesting thing to every
man is his own self, and the more
concern you show in that, the
greater will be your lnfaence with
him.
Besides this, 1t is the right feel
ing to cultivate towards others. and
the right manner to show. Many
hish-principled people do their dn'
" all through lite, but with as hard
and callous a temper and .face as If
they were paying debt of which
they bcgrudged every penny.
They render their full dues, per-
haps, to God and to Caesar, but in
rusty, black metal, instead OF shin
ing jingling coin. They march
alone along the pathway OF life
wrapped in their own thoughts Al d
purposes, when they ought to be
singing III go5d company
Many gills who lack beauty of
face, many dull boys, will read this,
who are tempted to envy the beau
tY and clevcrness of their cempan-
ions, but who do not realize that
they haze within their own reach a
real Aladdin's Tampa sincere, cor
dial manner, an unselfish interest
in others-which will not only
command friends for them, but will
brighten their own inner lives as
no other gift can brighten them.
