GIVES INTERESTING DISSERTATION ON
COMETS AND IHEIR FUNCTION IN THE
ECONOMY OF NATURE.
Editor County Kecord:?My, my,
Mr Editor, what a cold. freezing
buu-shiny Sunday! Too cold for
old people to go to church. I am
hovering 'round the lire ruminating
about "Old So!." Why does not the
sun-shine warm up things? I am
afraid the oats will be killed yet:
what is the matter? Is it a fact that
his fuel is burning low, and that
he must be supplied with more to
keep his fires going? I know I have
to be jumping up and putting on
more wood to keep our uie guiu5?
but who hauls wood for the sun;
I reckon that is the business of
the new comet; she has been away
of into interstellar space, gather,
ing up debris and chips and whet
stones, left wheu the worlds were
made, bringing them in for sun fue!
to last until she or some of hei
sisters come again with a fresh sup
ply.
I have not seen her yet and now
I suppose she sets too soon aftei
sundown to be visible.
I am sorry, for 1 want to see hov
long a tail she has, how many degrees
it subtends.
Many years ago a New Yorl
paper descrided one as having
'Ten million miles of head
TYn biilion leagues of tail,"
which would, of course, extend fa
beyond the orbit of the most distan
planet when she should be neares
the sun. And some of that sun
fuel has been revolving ever since ii
the same eccentric orbit of i:
leader; perhaps, falling daily int<
the great luminary and ever art
anoD, impinging, like so man;
shotting stars, on our own bombproof
atmosphere.
Yes, 1 am sorry I did no: see th<
tail of this one before she make
the sudden dive, in close proximi:;,
to the sun, showering billion
of tous 01 sun fuel into the grea
- hc-at-centie of thv solar system
I am hoping, however, to get a loo
before day-light some of the*
mornings, .t she does not leave al
the taii behind.
But, i.o, the tail will be a heat
after sue passes the sun, whicl
seems to be a puzzle. But ! o-im
thai.'he head is only the nucleu
around which, on all sides, travel it
a grand tour the accompanying ac
cumulations ut debris, left whet
the worlds were made, but invisible
because of their distance, and sect
only as the attenuated shadow <>

1 hope she nil' not plunge heud

I the farmers not to put all the
