LOST COMETS

More remarkable than either OF
these disappearances In the fate of
Biela's comet. Lexell's and Devices
comets were twisted from their orbits
by planets. In other words, they
were the victims of q gravitation as
sault. Biela's comet, on the other
hand, suffered spontaneous destruc-
ton. The comet took Its name from
an Austrian officer who saw 1t In 1875.
was found to revolve in an eilfpse,
and that 1t would return again every
six and one-half years. For time
1t fulfilled all astronomical predic-
tons perfectly.
When the comet appeared again In
1S45, Professor Challis, putting his
eye to the great equatorial telescope
of the Cambridge observatory, ex-
claimed: II see two comets" At first
he distrusted his own observation. bus
the phenomenon was soon confirmed.
Biela's comet had split In two. For .
time the twin comets followed the
same orbit as when they were pars
of the same mass. Once more, in
August, 1852. the double comet re-
turned, but under circumstances not
the most advantageous for observa-
ton. Since that time Bieia's comet
has disappeared. The showers of me-
teors observed near the end of No
vember. 1879. 1885 and 1892, may pos
sibly be the remnants of that comet.
at all events, these meteors ara
known as the Bielids. In 1898, on
the 27th OF November, a. large iron
meteorite fell and was picked up at
Mazapu, Mexico chip from Bieia d
comet.
Still another vanished comet ID
Brorsens. discovered at Kiei in 1885.
and observed at four subsequent re-
turns. 1t failed unaccountably to ba
visible in 1890. Probably 1t suffered n
fate similar to that of Biela's comet
When first discovered it seemed tims-
worn: for II was devoid of q tail and
rapidly lost its light It seemed ts
expand excessively as IL fled from the
sun, SO that, in way, IL may be said
that it vanished like smoke In air.

length seventy-five feet 1t was de-

The distinctive features of the car
are the mission style of interior deco

roomy appearance and probably the
handsomest appearance of any car
ever built for regular service. Seats
are provided for forty-fve passengers,
seven in the smoking compartment and
thirty-four by revolving leather up

The mission effect is carried out by
five brass mission bells which contain
