A ro ideneo at tho sea aids to induco a

II > st > v Mass Oct 8 Prof Pick
ering of Cambridge one of tho lead
iug avtronomcrs of the country waa In-
terviewed in relation to tho eqiinion of
Prof Proctor and other eminent
English and Continental scientists
that the present comet is that of 1813
and 1S80 nud that it will again return
in October 1881 and fall Into tho sun
causing a tcrrlblo disaster to tho earth
Tlio profOESor said
lou may say that tho scientists and
Oambridgo Observatory hold no iuib
views They have no foars of tho
eaitha destruction through any 6nch
collision bolwecn tho sun aud comet
Tho probable explanation of Prof
Proctors theor is that hebcllevos that
tho oomet of 181 reappinrcd in 1880
end hart again nppearcd at tuv <
time From this it in probable Wat no
infers that tho periods of tho comota
appcaranco aro growing lusAndgleBg
thus showing n shortening oflteTorblt
which ho claims will eventually as It
approaches nearer and nearer tho sun
cause it to tumble into it
Prof Prootor did not at first believe
that tho present comet was the samo
that
lAMF TOTI1F ASTKOSOMFItS
in 1812 aud 1880 hut Is now satisfied
that it is tbo samo on This conclu-
sion on his part may havo bcon holped
by tho report ol Prof Boss of tho Dud
loy Obsorvatory who claimed that tho
corset of thoso years is but tho reap
pearance of tho same ono at different
periods of Hmo Tho litter professor
expressed hia beliof that it would again
appear in 1881 which is ono year later
than Prof Proctors prophecy and that
it would then bo so near tho sun as to
pass into its rays aud that it would
in all probability never appear again
In this conclusion ho differs from tho
London professor insomuch that tho
formor predicts that tho comet will bo
destroyed withoutmalenally disturbing
tho nolar system or in any way damag
ing tho oarth This claim Is based
on tho fact that this comet is tho same
oue that appoarod in 1813 and 1880
and has bcon gradually decreasing its
orbit and is now appearing after in
ttrvals of two years instead of thirty
or forty years Iho professors of tho
Cambridge Observatory do not bolievo
THAT THE I BESEYT COMET
is tho samo ono that appeared in 1880
although the aro somewhat similar
Prof Chandler has computed that
tho comet of 1883 will not return until
altera period of thirty or forty years
nor dothcCambridgo professors boliovo
that tho present comet will return in
1881 At thu last tlmo an observation

Tho Btory ia told of a Hartford gen-
tleman who lost one hundred dollars in

purchases Ho felt In his pocket oa If
lie had lost something Thon looking
dowu ho saw a roll cf bills on tho floor
picked it up and counted it There waa
just ouo hundred dollars and from it
ho paid for what ho Lad bought A
wiek later tho Bccosd l rson returned
tho ono hnndrcd dol nrs to tho first
with the following strange explanation
Oi tho day referred to ho had been
out to Windsor to colleot somo money
and in hia haste tu rotorn to narlford
thrust It ono hundred dollars In bills
aa he enpposcd In his vest pocket
Whon ho went into tho market nbovo

for it and Daw tho roll on tho floor
whioh ho suppesed was hia own no

on that day ho had put on his working
coat While at work he wanted a
match and in fccliug through tho pock

As soon aa possible ho wont to tho
market to see if any ono had lost that
sum of money and this led to a general
settling round He did not know at
