L clip the fOllOWlng from Cne FOSt
Dispatch: "We hear many people
expressing fear about that ap-
preaching comet. They believe
that this comet will hit the earth.
OF course the earth is not such a
small affair that it could not be hit
by something; but in the universe
our earth is a very small particle.
For instance, take a free space
about as big as the city of St.
Louis. Think yourself a pea, free
in the air above Belffontaine cem-
etery and another pea above Jeffer-
son Barracks. This pea is NOV
ing north towards Bellefontaine
Cemetery; but do you think for a
moment that this moving pea will
hit the other pea? 1t is the same
with the earth and the comet. Be
cool and don't bother yourself"
