BURGLARiOUS STARS.
Planets and suns May Pick Up Minor
Solar Bodies.

Planets and suns May Pick Up Minor
Solar Bodies.
Jupiter is much the biggest member
of the family of stars which revolve
around our sun; consequently the pow
er of his attraction is greater than that
possessed. for instance, by the earth.
Jupiters exploits as burglar have
caused very considerable annoyance
and inconvenience to astronomers in
the days Defore his powers were fully
recognized.
In 1910 there appeared fine comet
which was found to have an elliptical
orbit round the sun Of SO comparatively
small q size that Mr.. LeXell, its discov-
erer calculated 1t would return In five
and a half years, but in 1875 telescopes
were vainly focused on the spot where
1t was expected to reappear, and again
in 1871 it disappointed all observers.
Mr. Lexell plunged into fresh calcula-
tons and after much research found
that Jupiter was the culprit. The IN
fortunate comet had been rash enough
to plunge into the sphere Of the giant
planets attraction, with the result that
1t had been completely diverted from
its former orbit and flung off into quito
a different one Of a twenty year period.
1t has never been seen again by any
one On this earth and probably never
will be.
Jupiter was also responsible for the
delay which occurred in the return Of
that splendid visitant known as Hal
ley's comet. HALEY found that he was
not the first discoverer Of this big COM
ct. 1t had appeared at least twice pre-
viously, once seventy-five years before
and again seventy-six years before that.
The astronomer concluded that there
would be a further delay In its third
return and predicted that It's next ap
pearance would be 51S days later. He
did not live TO see 1t. But In 1853, the
year he h , prophesied for its reap
pearancc. astronomers were waiting
for It,
