CARELESS COMET ITEADED THIS
WAY TRAVELLING AT RECK-
LESS SPEED.
May Collide With Earth June 26th
.unci Provide Greatest Displays of
Fireworks World Has Ever
Seen.
"The greatest display of fireworks
that the world has yet seen, .includ-
ing a bump, is due to occur on. June
26, if . Pons-Winnicke is allowed to
have its own way.
Pons-Winnicke is described as a
••'`comet with a flighty nature and ir-
responsible habits, travelling 700
miles in excess of the speed limit and
heading straight for the earth.'
Unless the comet can get -provided
witha rival attraction, or the earth
can be induced to swerve at the
psychological moment, the two will
come into collision on June 26th.
`Pons'Winnicle was discovered
one hundred years ago,' said Dr..
Crommelin. `It is a short -period
comet, and returns every five and
* three-quarter years.' When first seen
it was one hien:deed million miles
from the ,ea, h's orbit, but it has
sliced coming nearer since then owing
to the disturbing action of Jupiter.
`Its orbit next June will almost in-
tersect that of the earth, but the
chances of a collision are not great.
If the actual date of intersection is
June 26 there will be a collision.
The world will not be wiped out, but
there will be the biggest shower of
meteors ever seen, and possibly some
damage and casualties. After that
date, however, the comet will re-
cede.' "--Toronto Mail and Em-
pire.
