TAILS OF COMETS.

The theory that regards comets as
big lenses through which the light OF
the sun shines and forms tail does
not seem 10 be- wen supported.
Kepler thought that light consisted
Of minute corpuscles elected from the
luminous body In all directions when
these corpuscles, he argued, elected
from the sun struck dust particles in
the comets the latter would be carried
away and form long tails Newton.
however. did not accept this explana-
tion. He compared the tails Of the
comets 10 columns Of smoke rising from
a chimney But Newton's explanation
has also been discarded
In 1746 Euler expressed the opinion
that the waves OF light exert pres
sure upon the body upon which they
fall This has been fully demonstrated,
by Maxwell, Lebcden, Nichols Hun,
and Arrhenius. II has been found that
a particle OF matter OF a certain size
and the same specific gravity as water.
viii remain unaffected by the radiation
pressure That is, there viii be equlli-
brium between the two forces. but N
the diameter OF the particle Of matter
Is reduced the radiation pressure win
prevail over the attraction, and the
matter will be repeuod from the sun.
II the particle is still further reduced
in size. gravltation again predomlnates.
But all particles between these two
limits viii be repealed when the cir
cumferenoe Of the particle Is exactly
equal to the wave length of the radia-
ton, tho radiation pressure SURPRISES
gravity nineteen times. By this law
comets tails can be explained They
consist of matter forced away from
the general nucleus by the radiation
pressure Of the light waves that strike
the comet
Anyone who has paid any attention
20 the subject knows that the tails Of
comets do not by any means present
the appearance OF light rays thrown by
a search light. or a head light Eoer-

tails are curved. and this fact alone dis

That comets are not entirely gaseous

But meteorites contain a great number

DR.. Andrew j. McCosh was in his
college days a famous athlete. He
could run faster, kick football far
ther and jump higher than any man
in Princeton. Publicly his father,
President McCosh, took no notice OF
Andy's achievements. That he pri-
vately rejoiced in his sons prowess
the students learned in this way:
Jimmy, as the president was famil-
iarly called, though exceedingly cour-
teous, was given to fits of abstraction
in which he entirely forgot his sur
roundings.
Once at reception in his home, ap-
parently forgetful of all the world, he
was pacing up and down the room
with head bent and hands interlocked
behind his back. Suddenly he walk
ed up before young lady and ask
ed:
"How tall are ye?"
In an embarrassed way she replied

Meat Eaters Have Appendicitis.

According to DR.. John A. Polak, a
leading New York physician, appen-
dicitis is second in Importance only
to tuberculosis and cancer, for it is
distinctly an American disease.
This, however, is not attributed
to any contagion, but to the fact that
the anatomical formation Of members
of the same family is apt to be sim
liar, so that if one of the group has
his appendix located in such posi-
ton, as to make him particularly sus-
ceptible to the disease, the other
members of the group might very
likely have the same physical forma-
ton.
AS people in tHe same household,
generally have the same habits of diet
this also helps to explain the family
appendicitis" without recourse to the
theory of Infection.
As a race, the negroes are espec-
tally free from this disease.
Appendicitis occurs in greatest
Quaotity among heavy meat eaters.
Among the Roumanian peasants,
Who live on a diet almost wholly veg
etable. the rate was one case to 22,-
900 population, whereas in the cities
of Roumania, wheer the people are
more given to feasting, the rate is
one case to every 221 persons, or one

Conscience vs.. Art.

Thomas Nelson Page, in the smok-
ing room of the Baltic, contrasted the
literary and the scientific tempera-
ments.
"But letter will best bring out my
point" said the famous author.
you've heard, of course, of Tenny-
sons poem, The Vision of Sin Well,
an eminent mathematician wrote to
Tennyson, on the appearance of his
poem, letter that ran like this:
"'Dear Sir-I find in a recent poem
of yours, entitled "The Vision of Sin" )"
the following unwarranted statement:
every moment dies man, and every
moment one is born" I need hardly
point out that this calculation, if CO..
rect, would tend to keep the sum total
of the worlds population in state OF
perpetual equipoise, whereas, it is an
established fact that the said popu)a-
ton is constantly on the increase. l
would, therefore, suggest that in the
next edition of this poem the erroneous
calculation to which I refer should be
corrected as follows: every moment
dies man, and one and a sixteenth
is born I may add that the exact
figures are 1.167, but something must,
of course, be conceded to the laws of

"Sorry, but he won't do then," the
writer said, with a disappointed shake
of his head.

Revenge as a Life Elixir.

New York World.
When Orlando P. Dexter was shot
dead from ambush in the Adirondacks
in 1908, his father, Henry Dexter, was
80 years old. 1t was thought the
shock would kill him.
So it might have done if there had
been no mystery to solve. Dexter's
murder was supposed to belong to the
class of the Reelfoot lake region In
Tennessee. 1t was ascribed to the not
uncommon hatred of rich men who
buy large forest tracts, close ancient
trails through the woods, move post
offices and do other neighborly kind
nesses to the old inhabitants. Such
men need guards in their sylvan soli-
tudes and often their property is
burned. It is guessed that many in
Franklin county know who killed

The old man devoted his life to an
effort to bring his sons assassin to
justice. He has just died, past 81. 1t
is possible that the absorbing passion
OF his pursuit prolonged his life by
giving it an object. If he had pious-

down in lonely grief to await the end,
would bereaved Henry Dexter at 80
have lived seven years, or half that
