COMETS TAIL

The most powerful instrument of
modern astronomical research

prove to be the beginning Of new
knowledge on this subject is to be

DANGEROUS
PLAY

Editor, The Washington Times:
THE story in regard to the
Il danger of death overtaking
children who play in caves dug
into the bank at Meridian. Hill
Park. recalls to me an event
which happened to a youngster
whose father worked with me in
Los Angeles.
The lad was at play on the
location where the stadium is now
erected. When the ground gave
way he was buried alive. Before
help could arrive his life was
snuffed out. The same thing Is

tail spectrum. Thus the latter
will lie adjacent on two sides to
the spectrum with which 1t is to
be compared. Identity of spectrum
means identity of substance.
Well Worth Trying
Thus. il it answers at ali. the
comet will tell its own secret. But
Prof. Lemon is not perfectly sure
that any answer will come. He is
only sure that the experiment is
wen worth trying, especially with
a comet venturing so near. So
far only two bright comets have
shown the spectrum of carbon
monoxide in their tails. These
were the Daniels comet in 1907
and the Morehouse comet in 1908.
The Pons.Winnecke comet may
either not contain this gas or the
substance of it's tail may be too
diffused to show il.
In 1910, when an entirely un.
known comet suddenly famed out
in the sunset sky. it was reported
that the poisonous gas cyanogen
was one of the It's most conspicu-
Gus chemical constituents, and un.
founded alarm was caused by a
story that the comet might come
so near the earth as to sprinkle
poisonous gas over it. Traces of
cyanogen are found in many
comets. while all comets show the
presence of hydrocarbons, but
even IL one struck the earth 1t
could scatter no plague, for, as
Prof. Lemon says, the pressure
under which such gases exist in
a comet is a thousand million
times less than the pressure in the
highest vacuum that the most
modern methods have been able
to produce.
