.ENCKE'S COMET
To APPEAR IN FALL
is DASHING INTO THE SUN.
COMET WHICH HAS THE SHORTEST,
REVOLUTION.

Mr.. Otis Asbmore Thinks il Possible
Eye-Encke's Comet is Constantly
Shortening Its Orbit and Astron-
Omers Think it VIII Eventually
Dash Into the sun and Be An
nihiIated-Was Discovered in 1915.
Enckes comet, which is interesting
because of the fact that it has the
shortest time of revolution of any
known comet, is scheduled to appear
some time in the coming fall.
Mr.. Otis Ashmore said last night
when questioned about the likelihood
of the comet being sighted, that as yet
it was impossible to say whether it
could be seen with the naked eye, but
it is certain it can be seen through the
telescope.
The Encke's comet has period of on
ly about 1000 days. 1t approaches the
earth about every four years Its orbit
does not extend as far as that of Ju-
piter, and a slight acceleration in the
periodic times of it's return has been
regarded. until recently, as suggesting
the possibility of the space within the
solar system being occupied by a re-
sisting medium.
Was Discovered i'm 1915.
Although the comet is called Encke' s
comet, it was really discovered by Pons
in 1878, and Johann Encke discovered
in 1919 that it revolved in the short
period of 1900 days and had already
.Ae
Its recurrence, therefore, is calculated
to take place about every three and
three-tenths years.
One interesting feature about this
comet is that, through the acceleration
mentioned above, it has led astrono-
mers to believe that it has been
through it's resistance of the ether
through which it and all other bodies
is compelled to pass, gradually i'm
PEELED toward the sun, and the nat
ural result of such a course is that
it will eventually dash into the solar
body, resulting in total humiliation.
Fate of Solar Bodies.
Such a course would establish the
Org which, if applied to the whole
solar system, would result in much
speculation as to the ultimate fate of
these solar bodies. While the resist
ance of a comet, which is small and
comparatively intangible when COM
pared to the larger bodies, this fate
would establish the theory that these
bodies were subject TO such influence,
and. therefore. a similar fate would be
prophesied for them. The resistance CT
the earth, for instance, because of it's
solidity and force of velocity, would
be much greater than that of the comet,
but in course of time the influence Of
nfc oil ,-0Afr-
may be would gradually be felt.
The acceleration of the comet was
stated by Mr.. Ashmore to be about
two hours each revolution.
