THE COMETS TAIL.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. In Com
stocks Philosophy, edition of 1878, page 399, it
reads
"When the comet is nearest the sun, its
color seems to tighten and it then often shines
with more brilliancy than the planets. At this
time the tail, which is always directly opposite
to the sun, appears at its greatest length A
variety of opinions have been advanced by
astronomers concerning the nature and cause
OF these trains, or tails, but no satisfactory
theory has been offered
On the 18th of May our earth passed through
the tail of Halley's Comet and in doing SO no
material effect was produced upon the earth
and our planetory light apparently made the
tail invisible until all of the tail got well to the
west of us, when it came into full view again.
The tail appears to have no more substance
than the glare of a searchlight and has every
appearance of being simply rays of the sun
made more brilliant or forceful by passing
through the head of the comet, which also tends
to prove that the head of the comet is absolute
ly transparent. The apparent evidence that
the tail is not made by the suns rays passing
through the head is the alleged evidence of
crooks in the tail. With the comet above our
HOTlZOn anu Cne sun below Cne nOFlZOn, the TALL
has an upward slant. Our atmosphere is dens-
est nearest to the horizon and consequently
magnifes most those objects nearest to the
horizon. Hence that part of the tail nearest
the head is made to appear nearest to us. By
this means the tail at certain upward slant
across our view may appear to have per-
ceptable curve, and there is no reliable evil
dence that the tail of any comet ever present
ed any more curve than can be produced in the
upward slant of the search-light.
But this is not the end of human interest in
the tail. A stranger tale may yet be told. Sun
light nowhere else appears in outer space than
where it strikes the atmosphere surrounding
planets and their moons. Does not the tail of
a comet tend to prove that all space is filled
with little bodies that have atmospheres sur
rounding them? The tail of the comet may
yet prove that there are no great vacant
spaces in nature, no "endless voids." The
comet yet may a "tale unfold" as interesting
as its head. C. S. GRIFFIN.

MEMORIAL SUNDAY.

Thomas H. Marshall Post and Circle of the
G. A. R. and the Sons of Veterans attended
Divine services at the Universalist Church
last Sunday at 1O45 a. m. 1t was beautiful
day, flowers were everywhere and the air was
laden with the perfume of the apple blossoms
and liacs. At an early hour the veterans be-
gan to gather at Memorial hall to prepare for
the march to the church. The Sons of Veter-
ans under command of Capt. Charles F. Merri-
am did escort duty for the Post and Circle
At the church entrance the Sons of Vet
Grams formed right and left in open position
and the Post and Circle passed between the
two ranks. The sermon, by Rev. Ashley A.
Smith, was from the text "Our Deathless Dead"
and was both forceful and eloquent. The
music was excellent and appropriate to the
day, and the trombone solo, "Tenting on the
Old Campground,' by Mr.. Herbert A. Drink:
water, was specially pleasing. The decorations
were simple and effective. The Stars and
Stripes were placed under the pulpit arch and
spring flowers, principally tulips, narcssus and
white lilacs, were arranged on the pulpit and
around the altar. The service was one of the
most impressive in many years and the attend
ance was large.

grounds and it is expected that Harold Rich
ards, who is now at the University of Maine
will be at home and pitch the game. Richards,
who is Freshman, has made good at college
and has done some fine work when he has had
an opportunity. His pitching alone will draw
crowd, and the Taconnets are also favorites
here for they always put up good game.
