The "Push" Of LIGHT.


In spite of all the fun the para
grdphers poked at Halley's comet dur
ing its display of millinery. last
spring. the scientists have managed
to work out some principles from their
discoveries One is that the push
of sunlight affects molecules and not
particles. DR.. Percival Lowell re-
Gently told the Boston Scientific So
ciety what the studies and photo
graphs of Halleys comet at Flagstaff,
Arizona. revealed, where a battery Of
cameras were set up so that pictures
ranging from the most extended to the
most detailed were secured. One pho
tograph showed the comet. Venus.
and d bright meteor trail. Another
plate registered the fact that the com
cts tail on May 13 extended 81 de-
grees. The illustrations showed how
the comet formed its mead in advance
of its nucleus. In some pictures
twists and sDirals were evident in the
thread like filaments of the TAIL
changing in position and appearing
and disappearing at times. At the
Lowell observatory certain knots or
twists in the tail relative to the head
Of the comet were measured, showing
the rate of motion away from the
head OF the comet. which at a degree
and a half away from the mead was
l6 per second. a degrees Il miles
second, az - degrees % miles a
second, and at : II degrees nearly
80 miles second velocity.
Or. Lowell referred to this rcpulsion
as the push of light on the molecules.
\ series Of puffs observed We're
thought to be due perhaps to the act
ion Of the planet Venus. near which
the comet passed.
Gases, including cyanogen. we're
found to be abundant in the head, but
practically absent in the tail except
carbon monoxide which. while album
dant in the tail was hardly percepti-
bic in the head. The cyanogen did
not extend more than about 1905. 600
miles from the head. which was many
rnillions of miles from the earth
Carbon moncxide has been observed
in previous comets but was cOnSd-
erel an unknown gas. Acetylene
which it was thought might have
furnished light for the comet was
found to he absent. and L is now
believed that Methan4 or marsh gas

ed States Bureau OF mines. Six spe-
cially constructed cars. manned BY q
, corps of miners trained in rescue

days be located in the midst of erea,
coal districts in different parts of the
| country. These cars will be ready at q
| moments notice to proceed to the
| scene of disaster, where the rescue
| corps, in cooperation with the state
| mining officials, will do everything
possible to save thz lives of entonbed
| miners.
1t seems To u that this IS most
important STEP by bureau which is
| pr wing itself of more than ordinary
value to the country at large. The
| bureau of mines is headed by a
corps Of men who are filled with new
ideas and material for improvement
on the most up-to-date methods Dur
ing the year 1909, there were nearly
$500 miners killed in the coal mines
and 5000 injured. In the coal and
metal mines, it is estimated that 5000
men were killed and 10000 injured in
the year 1909. For every 1000 men
employed. from three to i've men are
killed each year in the mines Of the
nited States. In foreign countries
the average is / 10 : in each 1906 and
it is to DC hoped that the activity and
intelligence of this bureau viii soon
reduce the fatalities t. q PERCENTAGE

The saving Of human life viii be the
emergency feature of general cam
paign Of educational work among the
the Use Of the Rescue apparatus but
the way to care for injured miners.
Lectures On many phases of the min
ing problem. looking toward greater
safety, will be given.
Each one OF these new cars. as we
understand il, is to be given d sptci-
fled territory, and it is expected that
every mining community OF any i'm
portance will be visited A mining
engineer and a surgeon of the Red
Cross will accompany each car and
deliver illustrated lectures on the use
Of explosives, electrical equipment,
fire prevention. sanitation and first sid
surgical treatment. Each car will be
equipped with oXyg gen hemlets and a
supply of oxygen in tanks, safety
lamps and field telephones. with
thousands of feet of wire reSuscitat-
ing outfits. etc,
OF course We all hope that these
cars will be entirely useless. in that
there will be no disaster but reason
teaches US that they will be Of in
extinable service within the next few
months, and that a practical demon
stration will 50 prove their utility that

lance will be supplied with them but
that every mining section of any pre-
tcnce whatever will have its availab bic
