the particles are small enough, light
does not act upon them IN the same
way. Owing to attraction, the effect
of light is unduly great fer a certain
very small size of particle, while it fails
almost entirely when the particle is
made much smaller. Thus It is that the
indefinite increase in the repulsion by
light as compared with the attraction
by gravitation with diminution Of size
of particle is checked, and when, ac-
cording to theory, with a particular
density of particle. the light pressure is
about 20 times as great as gravitation-
al attraction. further diminution of size
ceases to favor the action of light, and
it began to fall off again. The distance
of the particle from the sun has no in
fiuence upon the relation between the
two kinds of forces, for they rise and
fall together. Nichols and Hull, there
fore, while not denying other causes
may operate, believe that light pressure
is adequate to account for the phe-
nomena, and that where the material
coming from the head or comet proper
is of two or three kinds. whether of
density or of size of particle, the sep
aration of the two or three tails should
naturally follow. "-New York Tribune.

COMETS FIERY TAIL.
Mechanical Force of Light May Elk
plain Its Behavior.

THE persistence with which a comets
tail points away from the sun, thus
travelling in advance of the head when
the latter is travelling outward from
the solar system said Charles Vernon
Boys, at the recent meeting of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement of
Science lis still mystery. Let me
take the most recent explanation, which
was set forth only three months ago in
the Astrophysical Journal in the United
States. Those admirable experimental
lists, Nichols and Hull, have for some
years been investigating the back pres
sure exerted by the action of light upon
bodies on which it falls. In this they
have followed the Russian physicist,
Lebedew, both in minuteness and deli
cacy of measurement. and in their sue
cessful elimination of disturbances their
results are uneQualed.
Having now definite and accurate
confirmation of the existence of the
force produced by the action of light or
rather radiation, Nichols and Hull pro-
coed to examine the question as to how
far such repulsion may be competent to
overcome the gravitative attraction Of
the sun and drive away the matter
which pours out from the comet. It is
Interesting to note here that KepIer put
forward this very idea, and that New
ton, sthe inventor of the corpuscular
theory of light, looked upon the sugges-
uon-With some favor.
4 Coming now to this recent paper of
Nichols and Hull, we find first the con-
sideration of the relation of the attrac-
ton by gravitation, and the repulsion
by light upon particles of different
sizes and densities. Density has no in
f1uence on the action of light, while it
is favorable to gravitation, and there
fore unfavorable to tail formation. Size
is favorable to both, but more to grav
itation than to light, for if the dame
ter of a particle be doubled. one is in
creased eightfold and the other only
four. So size favors gravitational at
TRACTION. Conversely, of course, small
ness favors repulsion by light, which
relatively should get greater and
greater as the particles diminish in
size. At last, then, a decree of small
ness may be reached in which the re-
pulsion by light will actually be equal
to the attraction by gravitation, and
such a particle would remain in space,
it's motion unaffected by our sun. Let
the diminution of size continue, and
then the repulsion will be in excess,
and if the law We're to continue it
would with sufficient diminution be-
come relatively as large as we please.

THE TARO PLANT.
A Vegetable Which Is Food to Most
of Polynesian Races.

The taro bulb furnishes food for a
large portion of the Polynesian races.
There are two kinds of taro, one which
grows on the uplands without water.
and another, the more valuable kind,
which grows on the low1ands and re-
quires water as the rice plant requires
it. It natures in about fifteen months.
The technical name of the plant Is
"arum esculentum. The caladium
found in gardens in the northern zones
is species of the taro. but is not val
liable as food. Another species called
ttanyah" is found in the gulf states.
It is inferior to taro and is fed to stock,
being used as food by but few people.
The Chinese cultivate the upland va
riety which is with them common
vegetable, and the Chinese residents of
California import it in large quanti-
ties from Canton.
The bulb is severed from the top,
which is then planted and a new bulb
grows. The tops are also used for
green's" which are very aDoetizing.
When the bulb is ripe it is baked. and
