hem isphere of the heavens was beautifully described in the lat number of this pa- por a few select remarks on comets in general may now be properly introdu ced comets are primary planets of the solar system for they move round the sun regarding him only a the centre of their revolution their orbits are ex ceedingly long ovais or very eccentric ellipses and having the suns centre iu or near one of the loci 11 cometfi derive their liiit and heat from the sun being opaque bodies as are all the other planets of the system and they are distinguished principally by beards or tails which continually isue from that side of them which is farthest from the sun i astronomers have found that com- ets their firt appearance are nearer to us than jupiter whence it is conclu de that they are in general less than that planet for if they were equally large they would be seen as far off tw when a comet arrives within a cer tain distance of the sun it emits a fume or vapour called its tail which show 5 that they contain a portion of matter con siderably more rare and volatile than any on the earth for the tail begins to appear when they are yet in a higher and consequently in a colder region thai
