NO DANGER, SAYS RICCE
Creighton University Scientist Says
Comet is Harmless.
TAIL PASSES EARTH WEDNESDAY
Observers May Possibly Get GIimpses
of the Brilliant, Trailing Visitant
mt Any Time from Early Morn
90 MidniEht wednesday.

Some time Wednesday night probably
between 10 o'clock and midnight. the earth
will pass through the nebulous tail OF
the sky rover first legged by Prof Haley.
But there is absolutely no danger OF
the earth being hurt" says Father w. f.
Rigge, the astronomer of Creighton uni
versty.
And please emphasize that statement,
for it is really surprising how many people
there are who seem to expect serious con-
sequences. For their fears there is not
the slightest basis in fact, and amy ner-
vousness on the score Of possible danger
should be alayed at once"
Father Rigge says that If Wednesday
morning is clear observers may possibly
see big or little streak of light, similar
to one of the shoots or beams of the
aurora borealls. II Wednesday should. be
an extraordinarily bright day, the comet
may be seen near the sun; that is provided
the comet itself is in the humor or position
TO shine effulgently. On this proposition,
Father Rigge and other astronomers are
very cautious in committing theselves, and
the Creighton scientist frankly says that
everybody who has been viewing the spark
ling vsitant from the purely scientific
standpoint is wondering just what develop
ment Wednesday will bring forth. On the
possibility of danger to the earth, though,
they are all agreed there is nothing to be
feared.
Just how much of the comet can be seen
Wednesday evening, or for how long it
will be in view, will depend on conditions
in the starry dome. The Illuminating
power of the visitant will have much to
do with its msnifestation to earth jewellers.
Pale Lunas light will also cut considerable
figure but whether searchers see or do
not see the comet, we may sit tight In a
faelinp of security from danger.
