A Comet Scare,

Joseph Jerome Lafrancais de La
lande, the popular French astronomer
of the eighteenth century, differed
from Newton's view that Providence
had so arranged matters as to make
collision of the earth with a comet i'm
possible and wrote a paper to prove
that it was only very improbable. This
paper, which was to have been read
with others before the French acade-
my on a certain day in 1878, got
crowded out. but the Partisan public.
hearing Of it, made up its mind that
Lalande had predicted the impending
destruction of the earth and such pan
ic ensued that the police had to order
the publication of the paper to reas-
sure the public mind. But even then
it was popularity believed that the pa
per had been deliberately toned down
and comet panics continued for a quar-
ter of a century.
