Look For the Comet Today for
 Danger Has Not Passed, Says Mauchette
che Reverend Martin S. Brennan of St. Louis, Doubts His Theory-Many Believe That World Will Come to an End When the Comet Crosses the Earths Or bit and Belief Not Confined to Any One Glass.

and made observations of Vesuvius, first figured out that the tail of Mau- ehettes comet would cross the suns orbit at the same time the earth did. According to Mateucc, the collision of the earth and the tail of the comnt would cause the combustion of the gases nthe comet and destroy the world
 The Reverend Martin s. Brennan. pastor of St. Lawrence O'Toole's church, St. Louis, doubts Mateucci's theory. He says that the las. eighteen comets examined by spectro- 1 scopes have shown acetyline gas (C H H. A few examined previous 1 ly to the eighteen also resulted in showing that marsh gas e 4 H 4) was an ingredient.
 He says that there is not enough gas, however, to produce r,bustion under any circumstances. The fam ous comet of 1861 crossed the earth'a orbit on June 30, and at that time there was no perceptible shock of the earth.
 great many persons believe with
 Mateuccl that the end of the world
 will come when the comet crossas
 the earth's orbit. This belief is not 1 confined to any one class of people.

MaRhette's comet, which is now only vsible with the aid of te!es- scope, till reach the nearest point to the sun,perhaps, today. It is thought that the comet will be viisble at that time. If Pine Bluffians will be on the lookout late this afternoon or during the night they may get glimpse of the fiery object which has caused so much uneasiness among so many ne- groes and other superstitious per sons.
 If it can be seen at that time with out the use of telescope, it will probably be visible for a month O. more. The comet is now in the Con- stellation of the Fishes, and it's move ment is constantly toward the sun.
 The tail will not be formed until it gets closer to the sun. As it hears the sun the electric repulsion forces or drives the matter away from it. This repulson is what causes the tail to be formed. The tails position is constantly on the far side of the sun and remains in that position when the comet recedes from the suns proxim- ity.
