The . ffeet ot ihe suu’s a;truc*ion In
♦ he diauLH mbertueut of comets is well
known to astronomers The nuclei
of the 1 rgo cometfi of 1GS0, 1S43, 1SS0
and 18S2 must have bad grea? fore
of coEis:Oii between their parts, tn
rder to withstand the tendency to
disintegration at the limes of peri
helion passage. H id the tauclei been
either liquid or gaseous, or even
clusters of solid meteorites, th«
d fF-rence between the run’s
traction on the central and. the
upetficial parts would have pulled
the comets asunder, spreading out
tho fragments into somewhat differ
enLurid 1 *, like the meteoric streams
of Augu-t ami N ivember. This view
of the gradual uisp-r-ion of comets
iu perihelion to in striking harmony
with the facta of observation. The
.' •Diets of short period have not only
been dive-led of tails, which in all
probability they originally possessed,
tout they seem to he losing more ano
more of the clnud-llkc matter which
surrounds their nuctoi. Halley’s
met has lost much of its
ancient splendor, and had its
period been no greater than
hat of Eucke’s or Biela’s, it
might long since have been reduced
to a telescopic magnitude. The sepa
ration of Biela’s comet iu 1845, wan
not the bt gmuiug of that body’s dis*
memberment. We have evidence
that this pr< cess iiad commenced be
fore 17‘JS, as in that year a metoric
shower, produced by its debris, w'ns
observed in Europe. A shower de
rived from the same grout) was again

made a hopeful feeling, the continued
bel ef being that the ( Zjt wilt be in-
llut-uctd by urgent advices fr >m the
emperor of Germany to n uintni i
peace. At the same time the politi
cians agree that peace cau only he
temporary.
Russia will nush forward the rail
way to the Afghan frontier. Though
the report of ihe eesHon o«' Pejdeb to
Russia origiuated from M Lessar, yet
the impression is increasing that tlie
government is inclined to give way
to the proposal. The amrnr has de
cided to hold a durbar at H.*ral in
stead of Cabul, in observance of un
ancient custom to hold durbars in
the town which is most exposed
to danger. Komaroff’s ii fiueuce
with his government is
explained at Berlin by a statement
that he is a natural sou o( Cz ;r Nich
olas, and therefore uncle to the pres-
eut czar. Reminiscences of the
