The Greeks opinion, according to the generally received the perception of colors very highly developed, and yet authors of a more recent date assure us that, in the time of Alexander the Great, the Greek painters knew but four colors, viz: white, black, red and yellow. The words to designate blue and violet were wanting to the Greeks in the most ancient times of their history, they calling these colors gray and black. It is thus that the colors in the rainbow were only distinguished gradually, and the great Aristotle knew only four of them. It is a well known fact that when the colors of the prism outside are photographed the there remains the limit of blue and violet, in the spectrum, a dis¬ tinct impression which our eves do not recognize as a color. Physiologists tell us that it is reasonable to suppose that,as the color organ becomes more highly de¬ veloped, and even before the human eye becomes perfect, this outside band will evolve into a color perfectly discernible. The Earth and Comets So far as the nucleus of a comet is con¬ cerned, there has never been any recorded case of contact with the earth. There has, however, been at least one instance of contact between the earth or its at¬ mosphere and the tail of a comet, for the earth passed through the tail of the great comet of 1861, in the month of June, in that year, and was immersed in it for a space of three or four hours. According to the astronomer Arago, occurred. this phenome¬ If non had never before a comet did come into contact, with the earth, it w r ould, in all probability, be the only sullerer. The earth w T ould it is thought, neither be thrown from its or¬ bit; nor disturbed in any material w T ay. The only result so far as it is concerned •would be a magnificent display of shoot¬ ing stars, the atmosphere of the earth acting as a perfect shield, and consuming the cometary fragments ns rapidly as they rushed into it, In 1832 a contact with Biela's comet was expected, and greatly the feared, but the comet arrived at meeting place about a month before its expected time, and hence a collision was avoided. Wlmther it has since collided with the earth or some other that planetary time it body is not kuown, but since lias broken up and disappeared as a comet from human vision. A Triumph of Surgery.
