Professor Hale Discusses n Subject of Burn>
ing Interest to Many People.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, Nov. 26-Professor Hale, OF
the Kenwood Observatory, says he is in-
clined TO think the comet which Is now
attracting sc much attention Is not Biela's.
In fact the opinions of astronomers differ
so widely it is not possible TO form @
definite conclusion one way or the other.
IL appears to shine by a reflected light and.
consequently. neither its size nor distance
from the earth or direction of it's motion
can be accurately determined. Its motion
is very slow. and during the time since il
was first located it has moved only about
twice the apparent diameter of the sun.
Professor Hale expects that the sky will be
full of meteoric displays tomorrow
evening this Is the season
in which happens the annual shower
of shooting stars and meteoritea
from Andromeds. The comet however.
has nothing TO 90 with these fireworks.
Be this Biela's comet or not. IL is not going
to hit the earth, Prof. Hale says. The obs
servations made tonight show that it ID
rapidly decreasing in brilliancy, euggest>
ing that it Is Fastening away from thi1
SYSTEM
The earth's danger from q comet lie very
remote. and consists only of the possibility
of collision or an attraction TO the sun.
If it should come toward the earth the
atmosphere would act as cushion, and
the comet would bound off into space. In
case of collision, unless the pieces weighed
many tous, the bombardment would sim>
ply be a meteoric shower. The most diss
astrous thing this or any other comes
could do would be to attempt to cross the
suns track at q grade and get caught.
Such q catastrophe is possible. For Ne
stance, if comet of the one hundred thcus
sandth part of the earth's mass should
strike the sun with q velocity of fous
hundred miles n second. there would
be generated by the force OF the blow 90
much heat as the sun radiates in eight on
nine days This eIghtfold increase OF
heat would do great mischief. raising the
| temperature on o summers day to some 40
! 3egrees. or that of to-day to about 500.
| This danger is even more remote than the
other.

Spaulding to-day issued an order for the
release of the sixteen Belgian glass blowers
who have been detained at New York since

of careful investigation, which disclosed
the fact that there is no evidence whatever
of q violation of the law in the case of q

1t was originally held that these men were
