It goes a- way to a distance of five thousand million kilometres, into the ultra Neptunian night, in which its speed is gradually decreased to less than a kilometre per second. The total dur- ation of its circuit is sixty-five years. It is during its retreat from the sun that the encounter with the earth may take place according .to the calculation of several astronom- ers the comet may pass before the sun aboui: May 18th. At that date kilometres away from us. Now the comet's tails are often thirty, forty or fifty kilometres in length and they are always extended away from the sun. Hence the earth may be en- veloped in one of the tails for sev- eral hours, and it is on the effect of his immersion that scientists have een speculating. 5-'rv -__+ m v ' a fixed minimum represerita_tion in I | the House of Commons.
