The Real Number of Comets.
The real number of comets which have :
visited these parts of space must be very
nnicli larger, probably amounting to not i
less than 3,000, since it would appear;
from the experience of the past century 1
that only one in every live becomes suf- j
ticiently conspicuous to the naked eve to !
attract general attention. A considera
° |
ble number of comets have doubtless ap- j
peared in past times in the southern hea
vens only, so as to be invisable in Europe ;
and allowing for this, we shall probably
be within reasonable limits when we as
sume that upwards of 4000 have approach-!
Ed the sun within the orbit of Mars since |
the commencement of the Christian era.

Comets consist of a round body, term
ed the head, to which a long stream of
light is generally appended, called the
tail, which stretches across the heavens
for some considerable distance. The
tail is often of great length; that of 185S
called Donati's comet, being 50,000,000
miles in length, while that of the comet
of 1843, one of the most brilliant ever
known was quite three times as long.
