sun and the earth, it may be possible
to see Halley's comet during totality.
Ii so it should provide magnificent
spectacle, for this is the most favor

What is the cause Of the doubt about
this event? 1t is due simply to the
fact that the track of eclipse runs
across the ocean, and only touches at
the northeastern extremity of Tasma-

Wheeling Through the Tail of a Comet

Once more Halley's famous comet
has been seen through the great 40
inch refractor at the Yerkes ObserTa
tory by Prof. f. f. Barnard exactly
n month from the time he obtained bis
first glimpse Of the celestial wauderes
after its absence Of seventy-four years.
His observations were made on Octo-
Der 7 and 10, but apparently the comet
is gaining in brilIiancy, for it was also
observed on the morning of October II
by Professor Wendell, of the Harvard
Observatory. with the 15-inch equato-
rial, and by.L. Campbell with the "a
inch reflector Of the same observatory.
1t will doubtless soon come within
range of smaller telescopes and be
visible to the unaided eye in the spring.
As the comet draws nearer to the
earth vague feeling of alarm may
be felt by those who regard these
celestial visitants with superstitious
awe. For them mystery still elings
around

which proves that it was considered a
veritable marvel 1t is said even to be
additionally reported that one of the
jewels Of the British crown was taken
from the tail of this comet.
Although comets are no longer re-
garded with superstitious awe as in
olden times, yet they are apt to cause
alarm. For instance, even
in our present enlightened day letter
was recently inserted in the Observa-
tory, addressed to the editor by an
Britisher, who feared the pres
emit appearance of Halley's comet might
be an Ill omen in connection with the
possible invasion of England by the
Germans. Some alarm has also been
aroused by the statement that in all
the earth will pass through
the train of the comet on the morning
of May 10, 1910, and that on that oe-
casion the head of the comet will be
about only 100000 or 100000
miles distant.

Swept by Star Dust.

According to the calculations Of
Frank Il. Seagrave, an astronomer IF
Providence, R. L., he finds by computa-
tions IS delicate as trigonometry and
the mierometer can make them, that
on May 80 the comet will cross the
plane of the earth's path. 1t is likely
that the earth will be enveloped in the
train of the comet and for a short
period our planet may be swept by
star dust.
There need be no scare over the
approaching event, however, Mr.. Sea
grave treasures us. 81 Nothing will hap
pen. The end of the world will not
come. 1t will be nothing more than
we passed throug hon June 30. 1861,
when the earth cut through the comet
of that year. The nearest it could
235,000 miles. -
Regarding the actual experience con-
corning the comet of 1861, Sir Robert
s. Ball reeounts it as follows in his
usual entertaining way:
+" In the year 1861 fine comet ap-
peared. 1t is not so well remembered
as its merits deserve, because it hap
pened, unfortunately for its own re-
nown, to appear just three years after
the celebrated comet of 1858, which
was one of the most gorgeous of its
kind in modern times. But in 1861
we had novel experience.
son q Sunday evening in midsum-
mer Of that year we dashed into the
comet. or rather it dashed into us. We
were not, it is true, in collision with
its densest part; it was only the end
of the tail which we encountered. There
were. fortunately, no very disastrous
consequences. Indeed, most of us nev.
er knew that anything had happened
at ALL and the rest only learned of
the accident long after it was all over.
For a couple of hours that night it
would seem that we were actually in
the tail of the comet, but so far as
] know no one was injured or experI-
eneed any alarming inconvenience In
deed, | have heard of only one disaster
arising from the collision. 4 clergy
man tells us that in midsummer he was
always able in ordinary years to read
his sermon without artificial light. On
this particular occasion, however. the
sky was overcast with peculiar glow,
while the ordinary light was so much
interfered with that the sexton had to
provide pair of candles to enable the
clergyman to read his sermon. The
expense of those candles was, I believe.
the only loss to the earth in eonse-
quenee of its collision with the comet
of 1861
Year Of Comets.
Nevertheless, despite our escape
from harm in 1861 and the reassurinu
statements of such an authority as
Prof. s. W. Burnham. of Yerkes Oh.

feel alarmed, for the comet sis not

it win prove a source of keen delight

Dry Fog.

OF meteorological phenomena attrib-
uted to comets because their causes
have remained unknown, mention must
be made of dry fogs, such as those of
1888, 1922, 1881, and 1884. The APP
pearanee of this singular phenomenon
in 1888, accompanied by its long dura-
ti0n-for it was visible for more than
a month--has been accounted for as
resulting from the immersion of our
planet in a comet s train.
1t is not impossible for our globe, as
we have seen, to traverse the gigantic
trains of certain comets nor to pene-
trate to a certain depth the vaporous
atmosphere of some among them. Apart
from these encounters We may suppose
that cometary matter may be intro
duced into our atmosphere by the power
OF attraction. Pursuing its course in
the same region as the planets, pro-
jecting its substance far beyond its own
sphere of attraction, comet can scarce
~ fail to abandon fragments of it's
tail, which the mass of the earth, for
example, may afterward appropriate
At any rate, such was the opinion of
Arago with regard to the dry fog of
1888.
This fog had not the qualities of an
ordinary fog, it was not damp and
moist like the clammy fogs of London.
The general color of the air was that
of dull, dirty blue; distant objects
We're enveloped in a blue, misty haze,
and at the distance of a league were
indistinguishable. The sun, without
hrillianey and obseured by mist both at
its rising and setting, could be looked
at without dazzling the eyes at noon
day. A singular circumstance mention
ed by Arago in connection with this fog
was the fact that it seemed to possess
certain phosphoric property, light
of its own. 81 find, at least in the ac-
counts of some observers, . he remarks.
:" that it diffused, even at midnight,
light which they compared to that of
the moon at its full and which sufficed
to make objects distinctly visible at a
distance of more than two hundred
wards ~
