The ether comets never return, or, at least,
not for centuries hence. They NAV be pay
ing our sun their first visit, or they may have
first arrived so long ago that we have no
record; or even may have come before man
was created on this earth.
1t Is easy to see that, under these circum-
stances, 1t is extremely difficult to determine
the times of these wanderers; yet, in spite
OF all this, some have been tracked into space
far beyond range of the telescope For ex-
ample, the comet Of 1874 is announced to
pay us a visit in the year our Lord 101,-
S44, while the comet of 1744 is expected
back in the ear 124,427.
One Of the chief points OF interest to
astronomers about Halley's comet, which
was here in 1910, is that it is the first comet
whose period of revolution was satisfactorily
established.
Doctor HALEY, ON examining the accounts
of the great comets of 1881, 1907 and 1862,
suspected that they were only the reappear-
ance of the same comet, whose period he
fixed at seventy-five years. He finally ven
tured to predict the return of the comet
about the end of 1853 and the beginning of
1853. OF course, Haley could not live to
see whether his prediction was true, but 9TH
er astronomers watched eagerly for it. The
first to discover it was a peasant near Dresl
den, who saw it in the heavens on Christmas
night, 1T5S.
The comet came again in 1886. It has
been identified as one which come in 1856,
and one in 1873, which were observed and
Iecorded by Chinese astronomers. It is con-
jectured that it also is identical with that of
1870, a comet mentioned in 1865 by Hall
Ben Rodoan, that Of S55 and finally a com

the boat out-an easy matter-off the sharp
b'.shelving shore
In few minutes they were out in mid
stream, and charmed to find that the skiff

fort on their part.
Helen was only a short time gone, but
1t was long enough for the boat to get a
considerable distance off. The boys Ad
begun to feel frightened, for now the noise
their little faces had grown pale, and they
were looking wistfully back at the shore
they had left.
Helen saw it all. The boat with the

strongest; the smooth, swiftly running wa.

rapids began.
She knew that little further on the
waves grew big and white-capped and tum
bled angrily over jagged rocks, and beyond
that again the water flowed deeply for a
short space, then gathered itself together to
dash over the dam.
Even if the boys could get safely through
the rapids, they would surely be drowned
at the dam.

She could swim a little, and, quick al
most as she took in the situation, she al.
vested herself of her outer garments and
jumped into the water.
The river was not more than a hundred
feet wide at this point, but Helen had
never before attempted more than a dozen
strokes at time
She struck out boldly, however, and made
brighten. They leaned over the edge Of
the skif and watched her anxiously.
On through the shining waters Helen came

that she could keep up no longer. But she

look towards the rapids; they were perilous-
ly near now.
A few minutes more and she would be too
late TO save her cousins-too tired to save
herself but of that she did not think. She

"Oh, Helen, dear Helen! oh, Helen we

She had caught on to the boat, and the

and their rapid departure, seem to partake
The term comet signifies a hairy body. A
comet usually consists Of three parts-the
nucleus, a bright point in the centre of the
head; the coma (hair), the cloud-like mass
surrounding the nucleus and the tail, a
luminous train, extending generally in the
direction from the sun. There are number
of comets without the tail and Others with
several, while some have not even a nucleus.
There are marked points of difference be-
tween comets and planets. The planets move
in the same direction from west to east,
which is astronomically called "drect motion, y
but the comets movements are often from
east to west. The orbits of planets are near
ly circular. while the orbits of the comets,
on the other hand, present every variety OF
eccentricity.
Comets are very numerous. Arago having
estimated that there are 17,500000 within
the solar system, basing his calculation on
the number known to exist between the sun
and Mercury. OF this vast number however,
few are visible to the naked eye. ..
The calculation of the time of the return
of a comet is no easy matter. OF those that
move in a clearly elliptical path, by which is
meant an oval track, their movements have
been so accurately estimated that it is posi-
BILE to predict their exact place in the starry
vault on any given day and hour.

night was clear, and myriads Of stars
twinkled in the sky. but there was no

Light ahoy!" Where away?" asked

covered from the shock occasioned by
this unseamanlike answer he looked
over the rail in the direction indi-

then he had another fit. Whats the
