THE TAIL OF A COMET.
IT'S Ever Changing Mass and why n
Faees From the sun.

The tail of comet Is not formed of
the same particles which composed II
yesterday or even an hour OF n moment
ago. 1t 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.
ticles that go to make up the tail Of q
comet bel This thought is suggested by
the fact that it has been proved that in
some cases the nucleus of comets which
are only a few hundred miles In diane.
ter will have enormous fanlike tails
stretching across space for a distance
exceeding 2O0O00,OO0 miles and having
bulk exceeding that of the sun by
more than 10000 timesl Professor r.
e. Barnard beautifully illustrates the
formation of a comets tail by "suppos.
ing" thus: Suppose, for example, that
the nucleus of n 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 syn.
Imagine now fierce wind blowing
out from the sun, causing the vapoI
which meets il to be whlrled out into
space behind the comet. This will
clearly illustrate the theory of the for
nation of n comets tail, only that the
nucleus of the comet is not Ice and the
vapor is not water vapor, neither Is the
force which drives 1t away from the
sun a fierce wind.n
The unknown force hinted at by the
astronomer above quoted readily ex.
plains why comets tail, as n 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 a third
class having all the peculiarities Of an
equal mixture Of hydrogen and iron
vapor.
