east. Dr. John A. Anderson. Of the Johns
Hopkins University. stated to-day that
this phenomenon was conclusive evidence
that the tail Of HaTey's comet was
curved, and that the earth did not pass
through It.
The phenomenon was undoubtedly OBJ
served said DR.. Anderson. "and its
presence at ( a. m. to-day seems to me
to mean that the tail Of the comet has
about 100000 miles OF curvature, and

Herald representative yesterday that in
his view the two phenomena might be
regarded as Of Ike class.
As TO the Examinations.
In this view both the comet and the
sun rays are expelled and are composed
partly Of atoms and partly OF the disrupt
ed ions which, as systems Of a thousand
10 hundreds OF thousands, constitute the
various elemental atoms" OF the older
books. These streams, both those pour
ing through the holes, which constitute
ing sun spots. and those radiating from
the comet head, produce electrical and
magnetic effects on striking the earth's
atmosphere. because the ions carry cleo
trical charges.
sun Blurred by Clouds.
No new sun-spot reports could be fur
nished by the Naval Observatory yester-
day on account Of the clouded sky. which
also precluded either a morning or an
evening comet observation.
Reports telegraphed yesterday from
other points about the country are not
explicit on the question as to whether a

Definite information about the earth's
passage through the strelmer will hardly

through the tail OF a comet in 1861 with

and then only from calculations based
on observed positions before and after
the passage.
