COLLIDED WITH A COMET.
Astronomical Doctors Disagree Re-
specting the Result.

The doctors of astronomy are not in
complete accord as to the possible con-
sequences of a collision of our planet
with a comet. Mr.. Garrett p. Serviss
Of New York is of the opinion that
nothing serious would happen. He OBJ
serves that SO far as we know a m

comparable to a dust cloud.
Our atmosphere, he says is practi-
cally impervious to such a body. Even
At . distance Of rs or 80 miles above
the earth the atmosphere, though ex-
tremely rare, is still dense enough to
d~isintegrate and destroy a body like a
comet The particles would become
inAnitely fine, no larger than the ulti-
mate atoms of matter" He admits,
however. that If a comet were made of
solid chunks of matter the result
would be different. A ton chunk, for
instance. might burn q hole ~ big as

LITERARY NOTES.

All the founders of McClure's Maya
zine are recent graduates of Knox col
lege, Galesburg. Ills, and the editor,
Mr.. Mcclure. is a trustee of this col
lege. They have undertaken to assist
the college in Establishing The Alb
raham Lincoln School of Science and
Practical Arts" as a worthy memorial
to Abraham Lincoln.
Before Lincoln was ever nominated
for the presidency. Knox college con-
ferred on him the degree of doctor Of
laws, and at the time of the famous
Lincoln and Douglas debate. held in
Galesburg, October 7, 1858, the stud
ents carried banners inscribed Knox
for Lincoln"
With the March number The Forum
begins a new volume and enters upon
it's second decade. The number-an
uncommonly interesting one-opens
with a noteworthy article on Family
Life In America" by the distinguished
French novelist and critic, TIL. Benton
(Mme. Blanc), author of The Condi-
ton of Women in the United States"
Nine. Blanc draws very interesting
and instructive comparisons between
French and American family life, and
frankly criticizes certain phases of
American civilization which came I'M
der her observation whila in tbic co,,p-
try-such as the almost insolent tri-
Umph of youth, the boldly advertised
domination Of woman, the effacement
pr patents and their lack of authority
over their children, the liberty of the
American girl and her contempt of
marriage, lir.aJIon, atc.-and she sym
p9thlzas with thu American father who
works ia harness a. home. while his
family passes years in Europe leading
that purely worldly lie which the
American colony in Paris exhibits, I'M
dor the Deetext tina, travelling devel-
ops Iar Eogng people. Nevertheless.
with certain reservations, which she
mentions in her article, Nine. Blanc
declares that she shall be delighted to
see French family life become more
and more Americanized.
In none of his papers upon This
Country of Ours" has ex-President
Harrison delivered himself with such
vehemence and emphasis as he has in
the one in the March Ladies' Home
Journal, The Presidents Duties" Be
sides commencing one Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands acts, and. censuring ambassadors
for making political speeches, he talks
of presidential appointments in a most
feeling and an almost pathetic way,
Upon the latter theme, in giving en-
dorsement to civil service reform. he
says: In spite of all the difficulties
that beset the question of removals
and appointments it must be conceded
that much progress in the direction of
a betterment of the service has been
made"

be a pretty serious matter. But he as
serts-somewhat too dogmatically per
haps-th that there are no large parli-
cles in the makeup OF a comet.
On the other hand. our " Prof. 5
II. Durham is not quite so cOcksure.
He says he doesn't think he would like
to be at the place of impact. There
might be no danger. and there might"
However, he is willing to take the
chances. He would like to see Per
rine's comet strike the earth. You
see" says the professor, we have no
exact data on such matters and science
would be benefited by the collision"
So it would, if there should happen
to be any scientific person left after
the event. But that, as the learned
doctors are forced to admit, after all,
is just what we don't certainly know.
We do know that comets must be com
posed for the most part of very attenu-
ated and greatly dispersed matter. be
cause when they have made close ap-
proaChes to planets they have cxerted
nj perceptiblc influence upon the lat
ter. But it does not follow that there
are no solid masses about a comet. It
is admitted that an iron mass weighing
a ton travelling, like Perrine's comet,
at TIE ate of /, 10000 miles n day. or
over ESQ miles a minute, would knock
a hole in the earth-or, rather, burn a
hole-as big as the state of New York.
But a mass of a thousand tons would
not swerve such a planet as Jupiter
very far from its course, while such Il
mass or a thousand such masses, strik-
ing the earth at such a high velocity.
would make things very hot. In fact.
they might not leave many astrono-
mers to enrich themselves with scienti-
fc knowledge after the collision.
AS Prot. Burnham says, the comet
might hurt or it might not. But. as he
doesn't say. the most of us would pre-
fer not to take the chances. We can
worry along without exact scientific
knowledge on this subject, and we
would not invite collision even with
an extremely light traveller jogging
along at the rate of nearly 1900 miles
a minute. 1t affords us some satisfac-
ton to know that the chances are n
good many millions to one against Il
collision. II is not much more rational
to bother our heads about the possible
consequences than it would be to enter
upon a serious consideration of the
probability that all the angry war
buster with which we have been re-
called during the last few months has
been caused by the approach of Per-
rine's comet.-Chicago Chronicle.
