which now bears his name, aud by
showing that some comets, at least,
may AS rightly be considered as mem
bers OF our solar system as Mars, the
Earth, Venus and the other planets,
HALEY forever swept aside the foolish
superstition with which comets had
previously been hedged. Iiat instead
of the idle fear which he thus de-
stroyed. he gave the world more ter
rible food for thought ins the dread
full possibility OF a collision between
the earth ia -Gos1s&t--a possibility
which even the most riotousiy imagi-
native of old wives tales had never
conceived. During his cometary in
designations he found that one fiery
wanderer had approached the earths
orbit within about four thousand
miles If comet could come as close
as that. why not closer stil2 After
careful consideration of this peril
he concluded:
/ III SO large body with so rapid a
motion were to strike the earth--a
thing by no means impossibie-the
shock might reduce this beautiful
world to its original chaos"
His calculations were based upon an
assumption OF comstary masses, quite
*unjustified, as we have now good rea-
son to know. StiIl. his conjecture is
OF interest, because it was the first
of it's kind ever made. HALEY even
thought that the earth had passed
through one such encounter at least
with the result that the North Pole
had been shifted.
Ever since HalleY's time the danger
of cometary collision has engaged
not only the scientific but the popular
mind. a learned professor. Dr. Whis-
ton, who succeeded Newton at oxford
went SO far as to declare that the de-
iuge had been caused by a comet. No
