The organization of secret and anti-Poly-

"The strength Of feeling inspiring those

readiness with which they subscribe

hensive opposition to 1t, which IL max

SPEAKING at Milan. of the great
comet of 1882, Prof. Scbiaparelli, the
eminent italian astronomer, remarked
that such body is very small in tNe
cold OF distant space--so small as to
be invisible. As it approaches the
sunit gradually becomes heated, and
its solid or fluid matter is largely con.
verted into a gaseous state, causing it
to swell enormously in size. II then
develops tail of very dillusc sub
stance, the immense tail which
stretched across tie eastern sky dur
ing the mornings of last Autumn
having been estimated by one astrono.
mer to contain 0niya few pounds of
material. The cometary body reaches
its greatest expansion when nearest
the sun, and US II returns into distant
space it again contracts into irsignifi-
canoe. No exact calculations have
yet been made of the orbit of the
great comet of 1882, but from observa-
tions in September, October and No
vemiser, it Is assumed that its period is
included hetmeen 500 and 900 years,
that its aphetion is l7b times as far
from the sun as the earth at its mean
distance and that its velocity is $4,000
times as great when nearest the sun
AS when farthest away
