CONCERNING COMETS.
S2OO Reward for a New One.
Ni'x York Sim.
Mr Warner of Rochester has offered
a prize of S2OO f..r each new c<>roet clis
covered rui American rstronomer i
within a year. TI«» mav have to put his
hand in his pocket a iiood many times
to settl * his account with the star !_az
er« f<>r KepW said that the depths of
8-iace are as full of cowls as the ocean i
is of fishes. lJut Mr Warner has ni si-!
iected one very important matter.— |
There is n«» discriminat.on in his oftur. j
lie is ready to piy 'he same price for a :
minnow as for a whale. If some en- j
ternrißt ." astronomer, af er spending
nifny sleepless nights at the telescope,
should detect the e .mmg >S suc.iia
comet a" tlut of 1850. wh-ch hid a tail
that reached the z. iiUi and lighted the
skv with its blaze ; or f.ne like that ol
1744. which 1 ad six tails, eai h thirtv
five million miles l'nj;; a hlaz r linC
the one that seated the war lov-ua Ko
mans about the time that Cic-ar was
assassinated he would get no mure for it
than for a lit.ln polliwog of a comet
that would n<>t fi'i'- ' ac.nl l ' when ;
H'fn thromrh a foity-foot tel. It
has been a l-m* time since a hrst-c!a-s
comet has paid i'S a visit, and it is not
to be expected ilift*nch a one wit I take
the trouble to displ »v its splendors for
au unappreciative generation that reck
ons it at no higher value than a bit o,
unterrific vapor that no one but the as
tronotmrs ever sees. S me disrnmi
nation mu-t be made against the tailless
small fry that of late have been flock
ing to this particular shoal of the uni
verse, or else the bin follows will Mav
nway. Mr. Warner should revise hi
ofler.
A Lot of Comets.
New York Times.
In the best encyclopedias, unde' the
title Comets, may be found page after
page of the choicest italics and lnero-.
elyphics known to scientifie persons. Ij,
is impossible not to have the hi_r les
respect for whatever these cryptograms
mav mean, but for general reading
something more intelligible, even it
less exciting, seems to demanded.
There are in all about 830 recorder!
comets. The 540 seen before IGIO
must, of course, have been observed
with the naked eve. __The first known
comet appeared in IT« 0 8.C., so that
the average of discovery then was
about one in twentv-four years. But
from the binh of Christ to the inven
tion of the telescope thev were seen
much more frequently. In those 1,600
years the average was one comet for
every four In the 270 years since the
invention of the telescope, 290 comets
have been seen, out only a few of them
without aids to vision. Tycho Brahe,
the Danish astronomer, who died in
1601, was the first to show that there
were celestial bodies moving in regions
iar beyond this earth's atmosphere
And Isaac Newton first showed that
tlioir apparently erratic paths were
strictly governed by the laws ot gravi
tation. A modem invention, the spec
troscope, shows that thev consist in
part of vaporized carbon. So that while
a great deal remains to be learned about
comets, yet er.ough is known to make
them no more portentous objects than
any planet. Even in quite recent
times, however, the ignoran. have been
deeply moved by them. Thus, Will'am
Miller's predictions of the coming of
Christ and the end of the world found
no small support in the comet of 1843,
which was visible to the naked eye at
noon. Even more ludicrous was the
belief of some that the first steam boat
which ever sailed on the Ohio was the
comet of 1811, which had fallen into the
river. The extreme absurdity of this
best appears from the almost incon
ceivable tenuity of the substance of a
comet. In comparison with it air is
almost a solid. Tbus a comet maybe
thousands or millions miles broad, aud
yet faint stars may be seen shining
through it. So that, even though they
move a million miles an hour—some
thing which it is hard to believe of so
incoherent a maf-s—they would suffer
more than this world in case of a colli
sion. It is, indeed, believed that the
world actually did pass through the tail
of a comet on June 30, 1861, and then
there was not even a smell < f smoke.
And the col'iMon between Jupiter aud
a comet in 1770 is known to have re>
suited disastrously to the comet. It
did, it is true, trv its best to pass the
planet, but Jupiter's attraction was far
too strong and the comet became caught
among Jupiter's moons. Not one of
those little bodies was disturbed in the
slightest, but the comet, when it was
released after some four month s con
finement. was so changed in its orbit
that it could scarcely be recognized by
its most intimate friends. This liabil
ity to disturbance makes computations
about cometary orbits liable to errors.
Otherwise they would arrive according
to schedule time with far greater regu
larity than any railroad train. Bror
son's comet is expected in 1884 and
Hallby's in 1911 .and many others might
be named. Some of the figures about
comets are among the most stupendous
playthings of astronomers, those Brah
mins among mathematicians. Thus,
Donati's comet year is equal to 1950 of
the earth's and its grey test distance
from the sun is 500,000,000 miles. The
corresponding figures for the comet of
1811 are 3,050 years and 40,000,000,000
miles.
Another Good Boy.
A Detroit grocer was the other day
hungrily wailing for his clerk to return
from dinner and give him a chance at
his own noondav meal, when a boy
came into the store with a basket in his
hand and said :
'I seed a boy grab up this 'ore basket
from the door and run, and I run after
him and made him give it up.'
'My lad, you are an honest boy.'
'Yes. sir.'
'And you look like a good boy.'
'Yes, sir.'
'And good boys should be encourag
eil. In a box in the back room there
are eight dozen eggs. You may take
them home to your mother and keep
the bosket.'
The grocer had been saving those
eggs days and weeks lo reward some
one. In rewarding a good boy he also
yot eight dozen bad carried out of
the neighborhood free of cost, and he
chuckled a little chuck as he walked
homeward.
The afternoon waned, night came and
went, and one; more the grocer went
to his dinner. When he returned he
wa? picking his teeth and wearing a
complacent smile. His eye caught a
basket of eight d< zen as he enter
ed t'ic store, and he queried :
'Been buying some eg„'s ?'
'Yes; got hold of those from a far
mer's boy,' replied the clerk.
'A lame boy with a blue cap on 5"
'Yes.'
'Two front teeth out ?'
' Yes.*
The grocer sat down and examined
the egy;s. The shells had been washed
clean, but they were the same eggs
that good boy bad lugged home the day
before.— Detroit Free I'resx.
A young mnn in New York is becom
ing independently rich by breaking off
marriage engagements objectionable to
his father at SIOO a time.
Lately a gentleman sat down to
write a deed, and began with 'Know
one woman by these presents.' 'You
are wr ng.' nrd a bystander, 'it oi ght
lo be. know all men.' Very well," t.ns
wered the other,' if one womau know®
it, all men will of course.'

THE SUN FOR 1881.
Everybody rends Tint Sew. In the editions
of this newspaper througl.o *. the year to come
everybody will flrd :
I. All the world's new*, 80 presented thai the
reader will get the greatest amo int ot informa
tion with the least unprovable expenditure o'
time nnd eyesight. Tug SUN long ago dlscov
ered the golden mean between redundaui
fulness and nnsati■'factory brevity.
11. Much <>l that fori of news wl.ich depends
less upon its recognized importance th m upon
its intere-t lo mankind. From morning to
morning THB SUN prints a continued story ol
the lives ot real men slid w.mien, and of their
deeds, plans, loves, hires and troubles. This
story is more varied and more interesting than
any roin inee that was ever devised.
ill. Good wrillng in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy, and decorum In
the treatment of every subject.
IV. Hones' tommen' TIIB SUN'S habit is to
speak out fearlessly about men aud things
V. Equal candor in dealing with each politic
al party, and equal tcndliiuss to commend what
is pralHcworthy or lo rebuke what is blamablt*
in Democrat or Republican.
VI. Absolute independence of partisan or
gauizallons. but unwavering loyalty to true
Democratic principles. THE BUN believes that
the Government which the Constitution gives
us li a good one to keep. Its notion of duly is
to resist to its utmost power the cflorts of inca
in the Republican parly to set up another form
ot government In place of that which exists.
Th" year 1881 and the year immediately follow
ing will probably decide this supremely im
portant contest. TUB SON believes that the
victory will lie wilh the people as azalnst the
Rings for monopoly, Ihe Rings lor pluuder.and
the Rings or im|>eri»l power.
