Show U 1 REV MR CARVER ON VISITORS FROM PACE glory of god as revealed in solar system Is theme of meriea of sermons j from mondays standard speaking from psalm 5 12 last evening upon tho glory of god as revealed iu the solar system and manifested in tha visitors from other worlds than ours and rov mr carver said in part comet is a rord meaning hairy star and la 0 the heavens where the light la baui ored in wie hair about ono central ball of fire there are four a comet the central nucleus or lynly li frodi to bilm n about this Is the roma or halry ot light the size of b cabi ts enor nau bing

great comet ot 1882 1 l waa miles ions and in diameter at its largest part such a comet it its head wan at horizon would extend to the falth at one point in its orbit the jets of flame the fourth part of a comet appear at best whan near the shoot nut from the central fire comets ara heie fore the largest bodies known their mass however is very light they are mere nothings in mass compared to the smallest athla in known by their coming 0 o near the plant fl and not changing the planets orbits or time one minute while the planet completely captures the comet probably the largest comet doe not weigh as much as a ball of barth two hundred miles in diameter As to density it is quite probable that the cornel la nucleus excepted about one nine thou beadth part as dense as adv at the earths surface A stai can be soon through a comet with practically no 1 r beginning next week we will fill conr window with skates the person guessing B nearest the number of pairs in the window wall receive

that can be made by our bent methods we know too that in a vacuum tiie feather and the load fall wiach equal rapidity emits accounts for the light comet moving as a heavy orb in space comets says prof newton of yale are 0 sandy or molecular matter surrounded by volumes of ga expanded owing to the vacuum of space as gas expands in a crooks anbe they are quite numerous usually several good ones can be seen through a good elaba choso that ar visible to he naked eye are however hm tied to about twenty a century space is dotted blui them however they more in usually going from oue sun to thus we know noto ing 0 them until they appear and as they have little or BO light of thair own this means we do not see biem until they como near enough to reflect the sun when they conae near enough to a large planet they aie drawn dra wn to it and by the gravity of that planet in an ellipse around that planet and the sun these few are those whose return can be predicted A comet that revolves around jupiter and the suta appears about evary eight years one that revolved around uranus and the suu a honic every thirty three acara and those that revolve around neptune and the aun about every seventy five years As these return they are smaller and sit taller teach time until they pear the comet undergoes a change as it draws near the sun its parts contract very ewh and the streamer keeps always pointed away frodi the sun so when the comat sow from alie sun upon its orbit the streamer goes before it thua it is supposed that the streamer Is due partly to tho repulsive power of the aim many now believe this fco be electrical and partly to the power of the nucleus itself the gas of the comet is a hydro car bon no damage could happen it a comet should meet the earth and since several comets orbits cross tho earths this may happen in fact many believe it did bap pen july 3 1881 when in england a peculiar hazl nesa and lurid effect WAS experienced and auroras were seen m abundance as we

describing a long the sun like a comet they move at the rate of emilei a second or miles an hour the velocity ot any matter in the system are also great orbits of shooting stars which we pass through twin time to time boston faau through one in 1833 when for two hours they fell like snowflakes these great streams seem to emanate from and aro from them as leonlus or from leo so we see that all space haa its bodies and oid space is almost a misnomer there are three theories as to origin of comets meteors and ing stars they are matter thrown off from planets hy eruption alwy aro matter not gathered into the planets when they were formed they are mariter coming from other sina ot these the latter two are better dished and the second one the best ot all durans the sermon rev mr carver
