And new the oemot outers the helar

place in itH nppeaiaiice. Perhaps the
comet's tlder could tell Just hew ami why
it oeours, but astronemors upon the earth
have nover yet been able eatisfacterlly te
explaiu it. At any rate it begins te assinne
a llery amicet. Frem a faint cloudy
objcet it becomes a blazing meteor, threw,
ing out behind It a glowing train that
strotehes llke a conllagratleti across the
Hky, and adds millions upon millions of
miles te Us length as it approaehoj the
suu. New, Indeed,

It must make the bleed of the man
upon the cemet tlugle when he perceives
the terror and astonishment that his llery
courser Inspires among the world he
passes Mwlltly in his Might. What If thore
should be n collision ? Hut luekily for
Ii m all gates nnjwlde epen, and he ban u
clear read, this Jehn Ullplu of the skies.
As hu darts across the orbits of the
planets, huiipesltic the diicctien of the
roemot's motion net te be greatly Inclined
te tlm general piano or tbe system, he is
able te study the uwpcet of these various
worlds. Terrestrial astronomers can never
have such views as he gets of these otit etit otit
peHlii of the milar system, Uranus and
Noptutie. Ue obtains, perhaps, an insight
into the nature and constitution of the
spli udid rings that oueirclo Saturn, te
possess which a Galilio or a llorsehel
would almost have bartered life itself. Ue
perceives in Jupiter, far niore clearly than
we are able te de with our greatcHt tolo telo tole
scopes, the maivolleiiH phenomena of a
g'ant planet which is Just being burnout
of tlie ciiaotteelomonts of an extinguished
sun. lie lias a close vlew of some of the
throng of miiuite planets that clrculate
botween.Iuplter and Alara planets which
are he small, sumo of thorn, that their
equators might serve as a race track for
Westen and Kewell and the ether go.as-yeu-plea'-o
pedestrians.
vVhat wonderful sights may he net bo be
liuld upon Mars, a world that has ad
vauced in its planetary dovulepmont uuny
ages beyond the earth, and te whote in
habitants Heme astronemon) have net has
itated te ascribe achievements that would
be as impossible te the descendants of
Adam as the bridging of the Atlantic
uceau.
He can obtain a most striking view of
this living earth ami its dead comrade, the
moon the ene whirling swiftly upon Its
axis and enjoying the rapid succession of
day and night ; its waters sparkling in the
sunshine ; its green prairies ami forests
glowing with beauty; oities dotting its sur
face ; a cloud peepled atmosphere sur
rounding it, vegetation covering the slopes
of its mountains ; and Us oceaus, as well
til its continents, lltled with a profusion of
life from its luxuriant equator te its snow
capped poles ; the ether hanging almost
motionless upon its axis, a worn out world,
without air, without w.iter, without voge
tatien, without life, only a desert expanse
of barren rocks ; its naked mountains ; itH
silent volcanoes ; its untenanted plains,
aiid Us old empty sea bottoms presenting
a sceiie of utter desolation, turned ie the
tiutemiierul ulare of the sun without the
shadow et a cluiul or a tree te hide it.
And tbose two worlds, presenting be com
plote a contrast, he beholds chained
together by tbe ro'slless power of gravit
ation, their distanae apart being, as
nHtroueinlc.il measures go, but the merest
step.
It he pisses close te Venus, he may be
able te penetrate the mask of clouds which
has ever hidden the face of the Planet of
Love from terrestrial star gazers, and pos
sibly he will discover that the planet's
beauty, liku that of the amorous goddess
whose name it bears, is only skin deep.
We cannot guess what discoveries he
might uiaku upon Mercury, the inmost
planet of all, which braves the suu at close
quaiters, for our telescopes give us little
hint as te its condition.
And at last the comet is face te face
with the totrers of its perihelion passage.
It must KwiiiK aieuuil the suu, which from
a little star has new grown te a gigantic
orb of lire, se close as almost te touch it.
Leug bofero he approached se near the
comet's rider beheld astonishing append
ngts about the sun. Instead of a smooth,
darling white glebo, he saw the suu
ringed with scarlet llatues, while sheeting
out en every hide, hundreds of thousands,
and in sotuecisos perhaps, evon millions
of miles, were huge faus and shafts of
wouderful light, llke llery spokes radiatiug
from the glowing hub et the solar system.
Aud new, as the cemet darts closer in,
he sees the whele am face of this melting
pet et the elements surging aud swilling
in the mighty rush et coiiteudiug solar
I irees. Peeple have lest their heads by
UM.iug tue long ut the Niagara whirlpool.
That would tear a ship te pieces. Hut
there aiu maelstroms hore iu the huu that
would shatter aud swallow a world. Iieu
aud copper und zitie are here leduecd te
vapor .iinl snout hoavetiwanl thousands
aud oveu hundreds of thousands of miles,
and de a u they oetiio again, ceaseless aud
aw ful taius of molten metal. Aye, in isses
of huu siibstanoes are hurled from beneath
the glowing Burfnoe and go hurling out
into spice, scattering white het showers
of fragments, aud cooling and condensing
as they go, never te oeino back again,
tiling tertu by tbe tormentoil suu te wan
der until thuy fall purohance upon the
earth or sonic ether platiet, or join the
system revolving around a distant Htar.
What agigautle (iatlmg guuef the uni
verse, belching II re and smoke aud fearful
missiles, must the comet face new I
At the penholieu Hwiug the tremendous
glebe of the huu seems te fill the whele
expanse of the sky, a boundless, raging,
tossing and spouting sea of iiuipienchablu
lire, a universal coullagratleu wherein
ireu and all the metals, calcium and all
the elemeuts of tlm solid rocks, flaming,
lick the heavens. Thore ure no words in
vented that can describe the heat, the
glare, and the rear of it.
This torrille passage around the suu is
the culmination of tlie comet's oareer, the
flery Cape Hern of Uh veyage. Flung oil
by the storm giant, it speeds away again,
back tlueiigh the realm of the plauets,aud
out into the black depths from which it
oiuergod-

of Imagination, the rider must leek alive
aud leap quickly us his racer pas-ses the

again into the outer darkness.
