ASTRONOMERS HOLD DIFFERENT
OPINIONS ON WHAT MAY
BE EXPECTED.
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
cyanogen Gas is Near Head Of Comet
And Not in Tail--ShoWer Of
Mcteorites Expected by
Some Observers.

Chicago, May 15-Astronomers and
others all over the country who have
lost much sleep in studying Halley's
comet have many different opinions
as to what will happen Wien the
earth passes through the tail of the
comet next Wednesday.
In New England the astronomers
agree. no harmful effect will be ex-
pericneed. Professor David Tedd, OF
Amherst college thinks there may be
a luminous display, similar to tie
northern lights. Tosl declares that
there will be no more sensation than
that caused by the rays of light from
distant candle in persons hand.
Leon Campbell, the Harvard astron
omer, thinks luminous display y
probable.
Professor Robert W. Wilson, Of
Harvard, declared today that there
may be darkening OF the atmos-
phera. He said further there may
be shower of charged particles. very
small but numerous, which may at
feet wireless telegraphy. There is
no cause for alarm or fear Cyan
ogen gas exi is only near the head Of
the comet and the tail is good
vaeueum.
Dr. L. ], MeHugh, of Depaul uni
yersity, of Chicago, said:
There is little doubt that the tail
of the comet will sweep over the
earth, but We will rot evel feel it.
None of the gasgcs Of the comet will
come closer than, say forty Tive miles
to the earth's surface. AT that dis
tance the earth's atmosphere il much
more dense than the tail of the comet.
| Friction with the atmosphere would
destroy it at that altitude. AS for

comet may have forced some of 1t
