SAYS FATHEB HEDRICK. k Jo Astronomer Is Sure It Is Not Off ^ Its Path, and Deplores ^ Alarmist Tales. th. ??? Ml CIS "There is no more poison in the tail th< of the comet than could be packed in an ordinary pill box. 0( "The average density of the head of of the comet is equal to only one-six- Hi thousandth part of the density of the ha atmosphere of the earth. R"Although I have not been observing jj^! the comet regularly, I do not believe it is off its orbit. th< "The nearest Halley's comet will di< come to the earth is 14,000,000 miles. If its tail is long enough the earth will pass through it May 18. The only effect which may be noticed may be a few so-called shooting stars." PI In these terse statements Father Hedrick, chief of the observatory staff at Georgetown University, today offered refutation of stories cabled from Paris regarding declarations of French astronomers that the tall of the comet again showed traces of cyanogen; that 1 Halley's wanderer was off its path, and that the atmosphere of the earth might be permeated by tne gases arising from tne comet. Dr. Hedrick explained that cyanogen is the base from which hydrocianic acid and others of the deadliest known j poisons are secured. Since one inhala- * tlon of cyanogen would be sufficient to terminate the existence of any mem- str ber of the animal kingdom, it is evident me mat me wiue puoiicuuon 01 any alarmist story, such as that which iound its jrlgin in Paris yesterday, is likely to th? spread consternation as "comet day" pol approaches. bui ' 1 Popular Exraraloa, Baltimore A Ohio dei Railroad, May 15.
