Conclusions About the Comet.

It seems pretty definitely decided. ac
cording to the calculations Of number Of
eminent astronomers, that Holmes comet
the recent wanderer in the heavens, is not
identical with Biela's comet. but is a
stranger making a first appearance. and
is now travelling rapidly away from tn.
earth. to which 1t has never been nearer
than lOO,0O0.0O0 miles. 1t is, however, one
Of the biggest comets on record. with q
diameter OF 6500O0 miles.
The meteoric showers occurring at about
the same time with the new comet are
said to be due to the earth's passing
through the orbit Of Biela's comet and
meeting with particles Of that comet in the
shape of meteors. One astronomer assures
US that the mass OF the comet is far less
dense than the air we breathe. and should
It strike the earth passing through il

The decrease OF tempera ture expert

highest peaks of mountains result from
various causes; TO say that it is ''be-
cause OF the lofty altitude is not sufi-
cient. To begin with, the greater
ratification of the air, which is always
encountered in upward travel. neces-
sarily diminishes the absorbing power
Of the air. The temperature of the at
mosphere is greater near natural sea
level, because such air transmits the
rays of the sun without decomposing
them. and can not, therefore, be heated
by them before reaching the surface of
the earth, where decomposition sets in
and frees the heat contained in the sun
beam. It is ,well-known philosophio
fact that the air receives the principal
portion of the heat BIZ what is known
as radiation" from the earth, and the
greater the distance from average sea
level the less must be the power of such
heat as warmtn-giving quality. An
other. and perhaps the chief reason, is
that the vapor screen which so eff
fectuslly tempers the climate of this
country and prevents the rapid dis
persion of the heat from the warm
earth diminishes as we ascend mount
ain and allows the heat to be freely
radiated, leaving only it's opposite be-
