It may bo assumed that much of our setronomical inf- rmation - 14 MERE THEOWY, and, in mattors theorotical, we aro apt to juma a4 couclusions, and thon pursue our invesliga- tions in conformity to them., For instance, one concludes that the religion of a cortain soct is the truo ono: from that staudpowt ho reads his Dibto, and succeods in proving it to Lis en- tirg satinfaction. The groatest poculiarity of comots s their tails, and Profossors have jumped at tho conclusion that theso immonso, fur-reachiog talls are actual eubstanco; henco they aro much oxercised coucorning tho result of the wow visiblo comet ewinging Lis tail through the region of the solar systom. E, Col- hert, in & recout article in Tox Taipusc, has it fhat ** At overy peribolion pastage, whoiker sbout onr sun or some other stor,” a comet will leavo n portion of its substanco behind, aid thus in time becomo disintograted. Again: I, M, Parkthuarat informs us that, about the 22d inst., the tail of the comot is likely to strike the earth; ‘st o portion of ita tail may bo torn off by both the earth and the moon, ote. I will crudoly give 1 fow points of what I considor & far more teasonuble theory of comots than any bioretofora advanced to my knowledge, and would like that nomehody with the means and opportunity might investigato 16 from that standpoint. In the first place, I hold that tho fails of comets TAVE NO ACTUAL EXISTENCE; that no moro tail i attached to’ them thnn thero is Lo tho moon or any of the planota; tho aphareut tail is produced by tho rays of iho s, he comet beiug o body of atmosphore, & ranaparent globo, tho rays of the sun, striking it, iustend of bomg abeorbed or reflectad, pass ight ou througl it.” By tho friction thus undor- gone they becowe honted, nnd coussquontly pro- duge ligiit and become vistblo, In this bieated cundition theso rays leave tho comot and pass off into space, remaining visiblo so long as thoy rotuin tho hent, und thus forming the so-called comev’s tuil,~ the surface of tho comet being tonvex, which turne tho rays towards a focus, thus causing the froquent fau-shaped buils.” I hold that ncomet in o first orzanized state of a planet; that comets do not proceed boyond the solar system; that, when fur rway from the kun, thoy becoma condonsed, and move slowly. Bemng thon small, and situated whore the rave of the sun aro_ecattering, an ju- sufliciont number will RM! through them for visibility. In this conditron thoy are attracted by the sun, and begin moving towards . Tho nearer tho comet gets to the sun, tho more rays It will enconutor; the more fuys that pass Lbrough it, the moro heat and light it will gen- prate ; tho more heased It becomes, tho grentor will bo its uxrnn-lml 5 the larger it gots, the more ravs it niil reach, the moro brilliant it will Do, and Lue longer and more luminous wiil bo its eo-culled tail ; ot last it becomes so inteusely hented nnd expanded as o cause n change in tho Juw Lrow attraction to repuision, and thus 15 THROWN OFF AGAIN. In tho courso of timo, this atmosplerio globe will form un opaque nucleus, aud commoucs no- Eorbing a portion of the sun's rays, thoy wveing porticles of matter, Aw incroase in the bulk of such nuclous will then bo constantly going on. o originl canso of the nuclous may have keen that the comot camo in contact with a meteor or fragmout of o broken-up planet, tho uftraativo forco being sullicient tocowbine them. Xc being vow that what rays Iall upon thopuclous ara nbnorbed, & shade is cioated oppusito v trom the sun, thus visibly making the comot & hollow coue, aud apparently dividing its tall 1n the manner well described by Mr, Uolbert, Ths ro- ported comot ot sovoral tails, with one pointing owards tho sun, is ateibutable to reflection,— the nuctous, or a portion of it, Lelug of a rollective nature, roturning the sun's rays ina liented, and, therefore, visible coudition, 1n the direciion whience thoy came, and thus formiug the apparent wilin an opposite direction from the otbers, .'Fho curvature of ncomet's tnil s also ouly apparent, and is owing to the unglo it ovaupics 1o the evé of tho boholdur; viowing an oojecs obliquely through thoatmosphore changes o xomo exient the trug ropreseutation. From the above it will be noticad that TIE MOsT ESSENTIAL POIST of this theory disletout from others is, that tho hont and light of the sun we experience—nud Just now #o plentifully—do not directly come rom tha sum but are effected by bis rays coming in coutuct aud ussingjthrough our atmosphore, und that sinular offecis aro produced wherovor thore is uncmosphere, which i the eame with cowots.
