Instead of the calm sky of night, flooded with the glorious effulgence of the silvery moon, surrounded by the twinkling stars, the coming sky will be one grand Fourth of July exhibit of fire- works, with a thousand little disobedient comets coming from the four corners of heaven in search of the milky Possibly science may be wrong. have known science to make bad breaks of that kind, and when it ad tised a particular show to come was delayed by a wreck on the main track, or something of that kind, so th. people were disappointed. Let us that this is the case now, and that the comets now loafing und through space with their coat ils on fire will not become parents.—Bill Nye, An Awful Possibility An exchange remarks: “The present comet in the eastern sky, which can be distinctly seen by every one at early morning, is certainly the most remark- able one of the modern comets. Pro- fessor Lewis Swift, director of the Warner Observatory, Rochester, N. Y., states that the comet grazed the sun so closely as to cause great disturbance, so much so, that it has divided into no less than eight separate parts, all of which can be distinctly seen by a good tele- scope. There is only one other instance on record where a comet has divided, that one being Biella’s comet of 1846, which separated into two parts. Ap- plications have been made to Mr. H. H. Warner, by parties who have noticed these cometary offshoots, claiming the $200 prize for each one of them. Whether the great comet will continue to produce a brood of smaller comets remains to be seen.” It is certainly to be hoped that it will not. If the comet is going to multiply and replenish the earth, the average in- habitant had better proceed in the direc- of the tall timber. excites and rattles us a good deal now to look out for what comets we have on hand; but that is mild com- pared with what we will experience if the heavens are to be filled every year with ne’ id comets and comets that haven't got their eyes open yet. Our astronomers are able to figure on the old parent comets and they know where to look for them, too, but if twins are to burst upon our vision occasionally A Histor American People sz.
