THIE SPEOTRUM, Prot, Dolafontaino—\Woll, I could not maka it u8 comploto as I wanted to ; still, I have arrivod at some conclusions. Thoro {8 no doubt that the ouclous of tho comot ia composod of inoandos- cont grs, undor & prossure less than that of alrat tho oarth’s eurfaco. The spootrum is not & continuous ouo, wado of tho soven primary colors, as it would bo if tho comet wero 5 solid, & liquid, or a highly compreasod gas in an incan- descont etate, In othor words, the fact that tho spectrum s & discontinuous ono, mado of sov- eral bright bands soparatod by dark spaces, proves that the nuclous of {ho comet is an in- conderont, raretiod gas. Reportor—Does tho spectroscopo give any idea a8 to THE NATURE OF THE OAR? Prof, Dolafontaive—Tho obsorvers or the astronomers who havo atudied the spectrum of comets protty noarly ngroe in finding theso bright lines in tho spoctra of most of the ob- sesvod comots. Truty, there aro sowe oxooptions, but they may bo sccouuted for 1n two diferont ways, Bome comols may lLnve a composition differont. from that of othois; snd whon two obsorvers like Hugging and Socoki disugras about tho numbor of bands found in tho #nos- trum of Tempel's comot of 1866, it s very hikely that it is owing to tho couditions of our ntmos. hore aud the nature of the instiument.
