THE COMETS TAIL.

a Plume OF Fairy Lishtness and Ever
Changing Dimensions.
4 comet is distinguished usually by
nucleus. 10y an envelope called the
coma. which surrounds the nucleus.
and. last. by its luminous tail stream
ing behind the nucleus for perhaps n
hundred million miles and more as the
comet swims toward the sun. Occu-
pying 4 volume thousands of times
b-eater than the sun. the question nat
urally arises. how can 4 body with so
vast an appendage sweep through the
solar system without derancinC every
planet? Fortunately for the preserva-
ton Of the solar system. a Gomez. so
far from being Il compact mass, is Of
ten transparent. Stars have been dis
tinctly seen without percepuble dimi-
mutton OF brightness not only through
the tail, but even through the nucleus.
In structure the tail is Il gosSamer OF
molecules SO ghostly that in compari-
son the filmieSt OF bridal veils Is
coarsely dense and the thinnest haze
that hOvers on the horizon is an I'm
penetrable blanket. Indeed. the earth's
atmosphere on the clearest day IS far
denSer. Hundreds Of cubic miles OF 4
comets tail are probably outweighed
by jarful OF air y plume Of such
fairy lightnesS can hardly be supposed
10 remain permanent, and SO It is not
astonishing TO find that during its swift
jouAey around the sun n comets out
lines are necessarily changing. An
interval OF few days or perhaps Of
few hours may work wonders in its
diaphanOus texture. Its path is its
only permanent characteristic. indeed
the only characteristic by which il can
be surely identified If it ever returns.
From all the known facts astronO-
mers have concluded that the nucleus
OF comet is merely mass OF meteorS
easily dispersed into small groups or
distributed gradually along the orbit
until eventually the comet IS complete

split into two parts and reappeared rs
a curious double comet in 1916. When
/ IL revisited the earth in 1852 the two
parts had drifted away from each 9th
er and were separated about 100000
miles. Since then the comet has diSap-
peared. Every six and \ half years the
earth crosses the track Of that lost
comet. Meteoric showers then rain
upon us. In these meteors we see all
that is now left of Biela's comet. SINH
larly. the great comet OF 1882 literally
lost its head by breaking into four por-
tiOnS. each Of which will some day
form a separate comet. Another link
in this chain of testimony Is presented
by the chemical composition OF meteor
ties which have found their way TO the
earth, composition which agrees eX-
actly with that of a comet-Waldemar
Kaempffert in Cosmopolitan.
