THE TAIL OF A COMET.
Its Ever Changing Mass and Why 1t
Flees From the Sun.

Its Ever Changing Mass and Why 1t
Flees From the Sun.
The tail Of comet Is not formed OF
the same particles which composed 1t
yesterday or even an hour or moment
ago. It is constantly being renewed at
the expense Of the nucleus. AS the long
stream Of black smoke from the neigh
boring factory or mill Is being continu-
ally renewed by fresh particles Of car
bon released by the combustion going
on in the furnace below, so is the Won
derful luminous train Of cometary bod
les being constantly replenished by
particles flying from or rather driven
from the nucleus by the intense heat Of
the sun.
Then. again, how infinitely small and
how intensely luminous must these par
ticlcs that go to make up the tail Of a
comet be-! This thought is suggested by
the fact that it has been proved that In
some cases the nucleus Of comets which
are only few hundred miles in dame
ter will have enormous fan!ike tails
stretching across space for a distance
exceeding 20O,0O0O00 miles and having
bulk exceeding that Of the sun By
more than 10000 times! Professor E.
E. Barnard beautifully illustrates the
formation Of q coret's tail by "suppos-
Ing" thus: Suppose, for example, that
the nucleus Of a comet Is composed Of
Ice. Then suppose the heat Of the sun
to be so intense as to rapidly melt that
portion of the ice globe exposed to the
action Of its. rays, which are strong
enough to Immediately convert it into
vapor, which ascends toward the sun.
Imagine now a fierce wind blowing
out from the sun, causing the Vapor
which meets It to be whirled out into
space behind the comet. This will
clearly illustrate taestheory Of the for
nation Of a: comets tail, only that the
nucleus Of the comet is not Ice and the
yapor is not water Tapor, neither Is the
force which drives it away from the
sun a fierce wind"
The unknown force hinted at by the
astronomer above quoted readily e2-
plains why a comets tail, as a rule,
points In an opposite direction to the
sun. The Russian astronomer Bredie-
chen distinguishes three different types
Of cometary tails-those composed Of
particles having the specific gravity Of
hydrogen, those having the specific
gravity Of hydrocarbon gas and q third
class having all the peculiarities Of an
equal mixture of hydrogen and iron
..vapor.

WHEN Gas WAS NEW.
President Of First Company Made
"Earinr" Experiment.

"EarxEG LiCSrSMcut.
Gas had as nllir., ;.i;:icuity in making
its way il Ec%. ,):k city apparently
as did the steel tt.;:Lic;i skyScrapcr. In
each case It required 4 man who had
the courage of his convictions to prove
that it was safe, but when once 1t was
shown that the benefits wsre greater
than the dangers gas and skyscrapers
took their places as necessities. In the
case of the Eliy5uraper the designer had
to convince the owner. Who had be-
come somewhat fearful Of the success
Of his venture because Of the COM
ments OF his friends, by signing lease
for an office on the top floor for a
long term of years. IN the case of gas,
although it had been used in London
and other American cities before It
was introduced into New York, Sam
uel Leggett, the president Of the COM
pany that proposed to bring the much
feared illUminant into use here, had to
prove its harmlessness in his own
house. This was in 1923.
His heroiSm attracted good deal OF
attention and proved to be good ad-
vertisemeut, for hundreds if not thou
sands of persons visited the house to
see the illuminant which was said to be
so much better than candles and fish
oil lamps. The house was in the up
town fashionable quarter Of the city,
on Cherry hill. It was at I Cherry
street, only few doors below the big,
square Franklin House, in which Pres
ident Washington lived when New
York was the capital, and near the eel
ebrated Cherry gardens. 1t was mar
row; three story and attic brick struc-
ture with two dormer windows. An
abutment of the Brooklyn bridge now
occupies the site.
Stories Of the explosive character Of
gas had spread without the aid Of a
press agent, and persons hesitated
about having the pipes run through
their houses. They were willing to
have some one else make the expert
ment, however, and curious enough to
visit the house Of the venturesome one
to see what happened. For the time
being all roads in the evening seemed
to lead to Mr.. Leggett's house. Groups
gathered outside in the darkened street
to witness the process Of lighting up"
Many a couple from the other fashion
able quarter, State street and the foot
of Broadway, gave up the evening walk
along the Battery to wend their way
up Pearl street in the moonlight to 7
Cherry street to see the novelty. There
were eager visitors from surrounding
towns. Mr.. Leggett.Tas not ayeSse to
showing people hew much better gas
was than any other form Of 1llumtna1t
by taking them through the house.
This fact, becoming known through
out the city, added to the number of
visitors, and not irfrequently when
Mr.. Leggett, basking in the light Of no
torlety in his drawing room, saw faces
peering in at him from the outer dark
ness he would go to the door and in
yite those without to come in. 1t was
several years before the prejudice
against gas could be altogether wiped
out.-New York Tribune.

Albany, n. Y. Sept. 24--'I have not
sought and shall not accept a renomI-
nation" says Governor Higgins, in a
statement issued from the executive
chamber today.
This phrase closes a statement in
which Governor Higgins explains his
reasons for refusing tho denomination
and after declaring that the party is in
an admirable condition. says:
when the party enters the cam
paiGn in so wholesome condition the
hosts of Hearst cannot prevail against
It."
Governor Higgins further says: Two
years ago l began my campaign with
the pledge that 1 would. II elected. have
an administration of my own. ! have
kept that pledge. BY doing so / have
met opposition from those who believe
that Governors and Legislators are safer
public servants when the follow the
guidance of a party boss than when
they think for themselves and act on
their own responsibility.
THE result of the contest in the re-
cent primaries for the principle OF exec
utive independence has given courage
to all who believe that the Governor
should not be the puppet Of the party
organisation and hope to all who de-
plore the supremacy OF irresponsible
political absolutism II also leaves me
free to crafty my personal inclination
with honor and to withdraw my name

Still In Progress.
washington Hears of Peaceful Tone of

biiisation.

Havana, Sept. 24.-Victory for the
Liberals or revolutionary party seems
certain tonight at the conclusion of a
long conference between committee
of the insurgents of eight members ana
the American peace commissioners.
The insurgent committee announced
there was practically no differences re-
naming between them and Secretaries
Taft and Bacon and that they would
receive a draft of the peace plans to-
morrow. These probably would be
agreed to at a meeting to be held in
the Presidio where the prisoner mem
bers of the committee are confined.
Secretary Taft said he could give no
details of what transpired at the con-
ference for the reason that II was now
necessary to treat with the Govern
meat leaders and that the publication
of the peace proposals might interfere
with their prompt acceptance.
Me5srs. Taft and Bacon went to the
palace tonight and informed President
Palma of the outcome of the negotia-
tions with the Liberals. The absence
of a definite statement from the COM
missioners makes II impossible to say
whether the plans carry the resigna-
lions Of the present admins tration and
Congressman elected last year.
