The Argentine Republic is to subsidize a
line of steamers between Buenos Ayres and
New York. thus affording a new means OF
building up trade between North and South
America, which development Americans
will no doubt assist by the revival of the
reciprocity treaties. The republic will use
the steamers as cruisers In case Of war.

comet was yet distant lii million

In the direction OF the earth. the ex-
tremity of the tail would have been IS
million miles away from the earth's
surface.
Its appearance was dAzzlinEly brill
liant in the evening sky. and for three
months the celestial novelty was an
object OF the greatest admiration.
But the comet os 1888 is regarded
rs the most marvellous OF the present
age. So luminous was this comet that
II was observed in the daytime. even
before It was visible at night Il
startled the world BY appearing In the
spring. in the western heavens. IKE
streak os aurora streaming from the
region Of the sun below the eonstella-
tion of Orion. II was comet OF tho
biggest class
The nearest approach Of its mead TO
the earth was about So.coo.00o miles
The absolute diameter OF the neeulosity
surrounding the head was about 5000
miles. The length OF It's tail was pro-
diEious. On the 27th OF February II
was los million miles in length. The
stars were plainly visible through It's
tail
II is certain that the comet almost
grazed the sun; perhaps some portion
OF its nebulosity may have come into
direct collision with H. The heat Il re-
eeived, according TO the computation
OF Sir John Herschei. mus; have been
1000 times that resolved BY the
earth from a vertical sun. Such tenn
perature would have converted into va
por almost every substance on the
earth's surface. and Il anything had re-
tained the solid form Il would be In
state of intense ignition.
The comet OF February = was red
hot. and for some days after Il re-
tained a peculiar hery appearance In
the equatorial regions the tail was de-
scribed as resembling a stream OF hre
from 4 furnace.
This comet was visible In Bologna,
Italy. at noon. being then only 5000
miles distant from the sun and rAv-
cling at n speed OF $50 miles per sec
ond. II follows therefore. that In
twelve minutes u must have passed
over a space equal TO the distance BE-

In the latter part Of February the

feature.
All the planets and satellites and as
teroids move In solemn and stately
grandeur around the sun from the west
to east. keeping always within few
degrees OF the plane Of the Elliptic.
while comets rush wildly from east to
west. or west TO eas, from the north

fall into nor be driven away from the
sun, while comets make n wild. head
long rush for the sun. apparently fall
Ing through billions of miles TO reach
that luminary.
They plunge In a vortex heated q
thousand times hotter than melted
Iron. and when at last their terrific
speed and consequently centrifugal
force sweep them around the sun. in
stead OF into the sun. they rush out
again into their dreary circuit. It may
be for i've years and II may be for 500
years. in the cold ether. so many bill
lions OF miles away that the suns light
and the suns heat are as the light and
heat OF a minute star twinkling In the
milky way.
Sir Isaac Newton at one time serious
iy considered as probable that frag-
ments of comets made the fuel by
which the suns fires are fed. While
this hypothesis is not considered ten
able now, yet there Hes no reason TO
dispute the occasional loss of comet
by falling into the suns fires.
This view is especially borne out by
the fact that several comets whose or
bits were known and who should have
been OF regular and frequent occur
enee. have failed to keep their engage
msnts.
And It is not to be expected that
any substance OF any kind can continue
to experience the extreme vicissitudes
of heat and cold and not be gradually
; and surely wasted away.
The intensity OF the heat near the
surface Of the sun exceeds the possibil-
ity of our Imagination. and the cold
ness Of the stellar depths equally
eludes all conception.
1t lie, therefore. only reasonable to ex-
pect that gradually all known comets
will. in the coming ages, be wasted
away, while wandering here and there
in the wide realms of space other COM
cts will take their places.
The comet in question (the special
one now approaching us) is most prob
ably a new one Its two companions
and itself are reminders of the three
most remarkable comets OF recent
years. These were the comets Of 1871.
1S43, and 1858.
The comet OF 1911 was the finest that,
up to The time Of its appearance, had
adorned the heavens since the days
of Newton.
1t was noted for its intense bril-
liancy. and was visible TO the naked
eye. 1t was comet Of the first class

for varying wave lengths is such an in
convenience that may sepctroscopes
are provided with three pairs of object
glasses corrected for different regions
of the spectrum, in order partly 10
eliminate the trouble.
In developing last summer the opti-
cal equations involving the thickness
and separation of lenses TO the second
order of magnitudes, Professor Hast
ingS found term which might be of
the oppsite sign TO that involved in the
equations for color correction. Al
though 1t seemed improbable that this
would afford a means of correcting the
older error, ii demanded, in the profess
Sors opinion, further investigation. At
ter much labor ne demonstrated theo-
retically a new method by which the
secondary chromatic alteration, which
had resisted solution for almost a cen
fury and half, might be remedied. He
next constructed a telescope with a
ratio of focal length to diameter of only
eight and half, for use with the spec
troscope This has fulfilled in every
way the hopes founded upon the theo-
retical investigation. II shows the solar
spectrum with absolutely unvarying
focus from extreme red to extreme vio-
alteration. While the experiment has
not gone beyond this, there is no reason
TO doubt that the method is applicable
TO telescopes of all sizes.
Seven years ago Professor Hastings
, published a construction involving a
lens of but two kinds OF glass, which
very near met the desired end. But IL
has proved impossible 10 obtain large
pieces of glass of the required kinds,
and thus the method has been confined
70 smaller telescopes. II is an interest
ing historical fact that Fraunhofer,
while endeavoring TO solve this same
problem, discovered the lines OF the
solar spectrum which bear his name.
The discovery of Professor Hastings
will add at least 10 per cent 70 the pow
er of the telescope, so that an instru-
ment with a tenthIinch object glass Will
be about equal TO an eleven-inch tele-
scope Of the existing type.
