with mails, he says. On the grounds
that Congress gave to the Postoaice

COMET PHENOMENA
Famous Scientific Scholars Ex-
press Various Opinions
QUESTION ABOUT THE TAIL
Comet Crossed sun-sm Spots and
What Causes Them-celestial Lum-
mary Can Now be Seen in The
Western Sky After Sunset.

Washington, Special.-The weather
delayed the ~frst-eyening view Of the
comet in Washington.
Should the sky become clear, how
ever, it will be possible to see the
streamer at 500 to the best advan-
tage.
Sunset comes about 7:1O, and twi-
light ends a little more than an hour
thereafter. As to future visions of
the comet, its similarity to- the suns
corona may be apparent. Prof.
George II. Peters, the sun-spot spec
ialist at the Naval Observatory, said
that in his view the two phenomena
might be regarded as Of Like class.
In this view both the comet and
the sun rays are expelled and are
composed partly Of atoms and partly
of the disrupted ions which, as sys-
TENS of q thousand to hundreds Of
thousands, constitute the various ele-
mental "atoms'' Of the older books.
These strehms, both those pouring
through the holes, which constitute
sun spots, and those radiating from
the-comet head, produce electrical and
magnetic effects on striking the
earth's atmosphere, because the ions
carry electrical charges.
Definite information about the
earth's passage through the streamer
will hardly be available for some
days. 1t passed through the tail of
q comet in 1861 without the fact be-
ing known for some time, and then
only from calculations based on OBJ
served positions before and after the
passage"
