Do COMETS LEAVE
A WAKE OF WOE2
PARALLELS BETWEEN THEIR APP
PRoAcH AND METEoRoLoGl-
CAL DISTURBANCES.
MUCH ALARM OVER THE CLOSE
NESS OF BIELA'S COMET
IN 1852

Is there any foundation for the SUI
perstition that comets leave disaster
in their wake? Can there be any con
nection between the two comets
which during this winter have been
unusually close to the earth and the
which have given America an enor-
nous fall of snow and unusual cold,
while hot winds blow over northern
Europe, and France is struggling
with the most disastrous flood in It's
history?
These are questions which thou
sands of people have been asking DUR
ing the last few weeks, and historians
agreed yesterday that whatever the
scientific facts may be, history has
furnished so remarkable a number OF
parallels between the approach OF
comets and disastrous meteorological
disturbances that they are pulling,

Comets come closer to the earth

and ever since 134 B. G. when two
great comets were observed in the
same year of Mithridates' birth, there
has been universal tendency to con
meet them with human events. His

storms, We're feared, and people lived
IN dread during periods when comets
were seen in the heavens.
Accurate records of the appearance
OF comets and the occurrence of mete-
geological disturbances have been
Kept only during the last century. bur
within that period a remarkable ser

and earthquakes have followed in al
most every instance the near ap-
proach of the larger comets.
Comet and Disaster in 1861
The record-breaking closeness TO
the earth OF the great comet of 1851
was the signal for appalling disturb
ances IN all parts of the world. This
comet was so near TO the earth dur
ing the summer that many astrono-
mefs gave authority to the statement
that the earth was passing through
It's tail when the weird spectacle or a
phosphorescent auroral glare was
observed during the entire night In
various parts of Europe. Disastrous
storms in various parts of the worIa
preceded and followed this phenome-

and housewives beamed on rows of
canned fruits and vegetables, won
derful loaves of Sabbath bread and
plates of cookies and cakes of far
more wholesome appearance than
those displayed on push carts in the
streets Fresh vegetables, prize pump
kins, fancy tomatoes, tall cornstalks,
big potatoes and all sorts Of learned
pamphlets and new appliances told
the story of farming in modern fash

The first Jewish agricultural fair
was the result of the federation OF
