If We struck the solid nucleus of
the comet at the center of its foaming,
vapory head such speed would sareiy
be fatal TO the comet, and doubtless
would do great damage to the earth.
But of this. there is not the slightest
danger, inasmuch as the paths of the
two bodies do not run nearer than six
million miles. and their positions are
never such as to bring them nearer
than twelve million miles-ffty times
the distance of the moon. But with
the tail we can and shall collide.
Tail Streams Away From Sun.
1t is a very common error that a
comets tail follows it's head, stream
ing behind as does the smoke of a 10
connective. 1t does this only in ap-
preaching the sun; but, in retiring
from the sun the tail leads the way.
The direction of the tail is always de-
termined by an influence supposed to
be that of light, emanating from the
sun, which drives it almost straight
back from that body. The result, in
the present instance. will be that the
tail will come sweeping Sidewise. and
we shall enter it and leave it on two
opposite sides.
OF course, this depends. however,
on the TAIL DelnS at least fourteen MIL
lion miles long. And, although this is
written only about two weeks before
the event, it has not yet been fully de-
termined what the tails length will
be. But no one doubts that it will
be several times as long as that, pos
sibly even zoe, 100000 miles in
length. Its breadth, moreover, at the
point where we shall encounter it, Will
probably be billion miles. Hence it
follows that, great as is the speed of
our progress, we shall be immersed in
the comets tail for some hours.
Composed of Thin VapOrs.
As we are absolutely helpless in
such a situation, it is of the utmost in
terest TO know what a comets tail is,
and what it is likely to do to US when.
like the sea, it incloses us on all sides
At the outset it is assuring to be told
that it is not solid. 1t is not, for in
stance, a stream of meteors. If it
were we might expect a gigantic me-
teoric shower like the famous one of
1888, when men thought that the
stars Of the heavens were actually
falling and the universe had come to
ruin. Comets heads are supposed, so
far as their nuclei are concerned, to
be made up of masses of meteOrS held
together by mutual attraction, and
these not infrequently are disrupted
and streams of meteors become their
successors, following the ancient or

Lane, sent out by President Polk in
March, 1849.
1--WE sent Joe Meek down to
Washington with a memorial to
President Polk and I well remember
his description of his reception In
Washington. He went across the
country in the dead of winter and
landed in Washington dressed like
mountaineer, with his buckskin
breeches and wolf skin cap. He
went TO the hotel and when he sat
down to order his dinner the waiter
asked him what he would have,
and he asked him to bring him
some game. The waiter brought
him two tiny little birds on a plate.
And he looked at them and said:
What do you call that?' That's
game said the waiter. %, HI
said Meek, the smallest game we've
got where / came from is venison
and antelope Upon its being
noised about that Meek had come
all the way from Oregon across the
plains to present the message of the
people of Oregon to the president,
the senators and congressman gath
cred around him and began to ply
him with questions. Later he met
the president, the reception being all
the more warm on account of the
relationship existing between Meek,
who was Virginian, and Mrs. Polk.
AS the result of this visit Governor
Lane, with an escort of bluecoats,
was sent out that next spring, with
headquarters at Vancouver. Joe
Meek was the first United States
Marshall, being appointed in 1S48."
Mr.. Matthieu has not only a re-
markable memory for the events of
the past but his sense of humor is
still keen. He maintains an interest
in all that goes on aobut him-eu-
joys automobiling, and said in
speaking of the long years which
had been granted him: II am
ready to go at any time, but 1 really
would like to wait until the aero
planes get perfected, for I think I'd
like to go that way"
He has always kept up his inter
est in politics and twice, in 1874 and
1873, represented his district in the
state legislature. He was also the
first justice of the .peace to be APP
pointed after the provisional govern
ment was established.
