day from the passage OF the earth through
the tail of Halley's comet, New England
astronomers appear not TO concur as TO the
possibility of q luminous display similar
to northern lights. Professor David p
Todd, of Amherst College. thinks the au-
rora effect probable; Professor Robert w
Wilson. of the Harvard College observa-
tory, declared to-day that there may be a
darRening of the atmosphere. while Pro-
fessor Edward C. Pickering, head OF the
Harvard observatory. said: Il doubt If
there will he any effect at ALL"
Professor Wilson said further that there
may be shower of charged particles. very
small Tut numerous, which may affect
wireless telegraphy. There is no cause for
alarm or fear. Cyanogen exists only near
the comets head. and the tail is a good
vacuum" Professor Todd declares that
there will be no more sensation than that
caused by the rays of light from a distant
candle on PERSONS hand. There is an
equal amount of cyanogen gas radiated
from each. proportionateiy. he says,
