CONSTITUTION OF A M
Head a Swarm of Meteors and It's
Tail Composed Of Gases-Dust
Accompanies Appendage.

What is a comet? Up to the time
ottherenaissance acOmet was uni
Yersally supposed to be a vapor
IN the atmosphere, presaging pes
tllence, wars and the death of
kings. The Danish astronomer
Iycho Brahe was the first to
show that comets lay in the celes
tlal spaces beyond the earth's at.
mosphere and Newton proved
that the heads of comets obeyed
the law of gravitatiOn like other
celestial bodies.
A comets head consists of a
swarm of meteors, surrounded
and interspersed with a gaseous
atmosphere, which renders it lu.
mln0us and therefore visible by
continued internal discharges.
When the atmosphere disappears
and the discharges cease the head
becomes invisible and the comet
becomes a simple meteor swarm.
The most puzzling thing about a
comet has always been it's tail,
and it is only within the last few
years that we have begun to know
enough about the matter in a fine
ly divided state to be able to of
fer any satisfactory explanation
for it. Its most obvious peculiar
ity is that it does not obey the law
of gravitatiOn.
That the tail is gaseous is clear.
ly proved by the spectroscope, the
banded spectrum having been
traced to a distance of 100000
miles from the head of Swift's
comet.
According to the modern theory
of electricity the sun is a mega
lively charged body from whose
surface vast numbers of minute
bodies called corpuscles are being
constantly repealed at v%elOcities
not far from 100000 miles a sec
Ond. These corpuscles, electrOnS
or ions, as they are sometime:
called, are much smaller thar
atoms and constitute what wa.
formerly rather crudely called
negative electricity. These cor
puscles that strike the comet I'M
mediately attach themselves t.
the gaseous molecules surround
ing the head, charging them mega
lively and causing them to be re
PEELED at high speed not only from
the other molecules forming tn,
head, but particularly from tn
direction of the negativel,
charged sun. The successive en-
yelopes sometimes seen surround
ing the nucleus of a comet may in
dictate either some special actiy
ity going on within the comet it
self or they may indicate the effec
Of successive waves or cOrpuscleI
shot out from the sun.
A comets tail may, therefore
be described as a current of gas
eous particles receding from tn,
head, each particle or molecul
carrying a negative electri
charge. A certain amount of i'm
palpable dust of a particula
grade of fneness probably accom-
panies the gaseous stream. In a
least one case this dust was pres
ent in sufficient quantities to pre-
duce an appreciate effect, but |
did not extend to the extreme en-,
of the tail.
