Carfare paid on pmvhuso of $18# THE WHEN, Arcade Springfield, p iuo , With the approach of May 18, the interest, in Halley Comet increases apace. The standard magazines and journals are publishingarticlesfrom the pens of the leading astronomers of the world relative to the x)r°hable effect tiie Comet will have upon the earth. While no two agree abso­ lutely in all details, their surmises make very interesting reading. One thing seems sure,' namely th a t on May 18, many of us earth beings will wit ness a sight the like of which hag never before been seen by men, a t least since men have kep t a writ­ ten history of ovents. On th a t day for over threw hours, wo shall be viewing tho sun through the great blazing head of a comet. Of a sudden our earth swinging through space a t 65,000 miles per hou'r will plunge into the, tail of Halley’s’ comet close to tlie neck of* it. Tlio tail will have been whipped against ns a t its own speed of 105,000 miles an hour, •' Thus, this globe will diye through the luminous haze a t a total speed of 170,000 miles per hour, 47 miles per second, the ea rth entirely im­ mersing herself in the celestial m ist in less than throe minutes, yet so, thick is the tail a t the point of per­ foration—600,000 miles—we shall b# nearly three hours and a half pass- jug through,' . J, W hat will happen? Aswas b'ofore stated, r,o two scientists agree m de­ tail. They are, however, practically certain there will be no ha rm done to any creature of the earth,, save the harm which fear does. Bu t the superstitions are almost certain to be stricken with mortal terror dur- ing those three hours. For those three hours will show to men the most sublime, awe-inspiring display of heavenly fireworks this' earth has- witnessed since space* roared with the primordial flames of creation, as the astronomers say, Ru t, the chances are th a t it will be nothing bu t 'ligh t—terrjflc, blit harmless. For our sunlight during those 205 minutes will' be filtered with the comet’s head o r nucleus the head will be eclipsing tlio sun and th a t head will have ju s t come from a bath in the very flames of the sub . *This gaseous heaff 61 times us big as our earth and only l-Jt. 000,000 miles away (a more step compared even w ith the distance to the sun) \ViIl be boiling, fuming, exploding blasting, in -titan ic convulsions of iieat after its recent experience, and it is through such a lens our sunlight must come filtered fo r three hours and a half on May 18.. Wo did, indeed, have oho , slight experience with tlie tail of a comet. Bu t It was a mere wisp of tail—just a thread a t the extreme end of the tail’s 24,000,000 miles of length—a hair a scant 8000 miles th ick . Yet tor the 'experience of seeing th a t hair severed tlio French astronomer, Lfais, journeyed to Rio de Janiero and set up Ins-instrument. The moments came. Suddenly Dials saw tlio »ky turn liko blood a t midday. Then there was a rapid plunge into a lurid phosphbrescont yellow and almost instantly the sky darkened to a coppery green, as if a tornado were approaching.
