to be maintained In their place

WHAT IS A COMET
On Monday the sun ri«w at 4:38 A.
M-, and the comet one hour and
thirty minutes earlier; In other
words, at eight minutes after three
hi the morning. The comet Is 21,
000,000 miles distant from the
earth. It is nearly ten times as
bright as It was on May 2d, more
than six times as bright as It was
on Mar IPlih. 1^1) yearly Ifslf as
bright again as it ns on May I till.
Ijook for It in the east, below the
jtlnnet Venus.
If a comet be picked apart like a
watch. It will be found to consist es
sentially of three parts—an enve
lope. called the coma, a nucleus which
the oomn surrounds, and lastly, a
luminous tail streaming behind the
freT'TctrfTTVF TTitntons ?>r whtpst amr
comet swims toward the sun. Oc
cupying a volume of thousands of
ttmes greater than the sun's, the
question naturally arises. How can
a body with so vast Hn appendage
sweep through the solar system with
out derailing, as It were, every plan
et? Fortunately for the preservation
of the solar system, a comet, so far
from being a compact mass, is more
or less transparent. Stars have been
distinctly seen without perceptible
diminution of brightness not only
through the tsli but even through
the nucleus. in structure the tall
Is a gossamer of molecules so ghostly
that in comparison the filmiest of
bridal veils is coarsely dense and t..e
thinnest haze that hnvers on Hie
horizon an Impenetrable blanket.
Hundreds of cuble miles of a comet's
tail are probably outweighed by a
Jar full of air. to use ns ustronomt
oal comparison, which has lieen hand
ed down front the time of Hrrschel.
From all that has be* n gathered,
astronomers have decided that the
nucleus Is probably a heap of me
teorite* varying in size front a grain
Of interest to Women
Decidedly the most popular halt is'
the one of elastic, and a woman can
buy these at ail prices from 25 cenl.s
to $23. A nice looking belt for mourn
ing Is in black chiffon elastic. It
closes with a dull buckle am! o«h
only 60 cents, while for Jl-50 an
excellent model can he secured.
Embossed elastic belts are much In
demand. These range in price from 11
upeypyd and in all colors to match or
harmonize with gowns made in ame
thyst, taupe, brown, gray, lloral ef
fects. Persian designs, black, navy,
cream and white.

so-called robe gowns because it is in

suit any figure.

■ each; a heap, moreover, so easily
sundered that Its elements are dla
! tributed gradually along the orbit.
As a romet approaches the sun
; violent eruptions occur in the nu
' cleus. The matter which is ejected
Is thrown back In a curve and forms
the brilliant holloa- easing which
! we call the coma. Sonietlmes several
; comas aie formed in jiucceaslon and
are concentrically collected around
the nucleus. Doubtless much of the
1 matter which Is thus ejected from
i the nucleus helps to form the comet's
tail, but that supposition, t Justifiable
though it Is, falls to explain the
startling eccentricities of that tall.
No celestial phenomenon has caused
more perplexity than the changes to
which a comet Is subjected. In a
of that wonderful plume which wo
call the tall may change. Hence it

answer. In a genera] way It Is known
that some powerful force residing In
the run. a torce that overcomes oven
gravitation, plays its part In forming
the tall. Recently l»r. K. E. Bar
nard, of Yerkcs obrervatory. has col
lected evidence to show that there
may be some unknown force at work
in planetary space besides a force
which undoubtedly resides in the
eniin-t Itself to supplement the solar
repulsive forces. If Halley's comet
