One can picture some scientist in

cyclOnic traveller in our space.
Alas, poor Pons, we knew him
Well" will doubtless be the comment
Of the astronomical world.
Prof Fowler was the first scientist
TO prove that the tails OF comets
have carbonic oxide gas instead OF
the deadly cyanOgen gas, as was pre-
viously supposed.
When the tail OF Pons comes in
contact with the earth" continued
Prof. Fowler, vast quantities OF
carbonic oxide, which is an odorless
gas. will be absorbed in the atmos-
phere OF this planet. There is no
cause for alarm, since the proper
ton OF carbouic oxide is so small in
relation 10 the immense volume of
atmosphere round the earth that the
effect will be imperceptible. People
do not realize how many million
tons the atmosphere we breath
weighs. At ground level the weight
is IA pounds TO tho square inch.
IN addition TO gas the tail will con-
tain meteoric dust-that is particles
OF iron and nickel. This dust is not
likely to reach us.

I can tell you, from a scientific point
Of view. how the earth was formed.
Perhaps they come from gases
thrown off from the sun, which are
