Shower of
Meteors Is
Due June 2 7
Pons-Winnecke, Short
Period Comet, Now
Headed for Earth at
Terrible Rate
London, June 8. Pons-Win
necke, the short period comet,
which is hurtling through space
at a speed of many thousand miles
an hour towards the earth, will
not have the best of the "bump",
according to Professor A. Fowler,
chief lecturer In astronomy at
the Imperial Science college,
South Kensington.
"It is generally accepted," said
the professor, "that we shall come
in contact with its tail, if at all.
In the event it is possible Pons
Winnecke may become so disinte
grated that other self respecting
comets will disown him."
Cyclonic Traveler
One can picture some scientist
In a few weeks' time picking up
a small meteor, the mortal re
mains of this cyclonic traveller
In our space. "Alas, poor Pons, we
knew him well!" will doubtless
be the comment of the astronom
ical world.
Professor Fowler was the first
scientist to prove that the tails of
comets have carbonic oxide gas
Instead of the deadly cyanogen
Jias, as was previously Bupposed.
"When the tall of Pons comes
In contact with this earth," con
tinued Professor Fowler, "vast
luantities of carbonic oxide,
rhich is an odorless gas, will be
absorbed in the atmosphere of this
planet. There is no cause for
alarm, since the proportion of
carbonic oxide Is so small in re
lation to the immense volume of
atmosphere round the earth that
the effect will be imperceptible.
People do not realize how many
million tons the atmosphere we
breathe weighs. At ground level
the weight is fourteen pounds to
the square Inch. In addition to
gas the tail will contain meteoric
dt that Is, particles of iron
and nickel. This dust is not likely
to reach us.
Fascinating Theory
"As to how a comet is formed
I cannot tell you, any more than
1 can tell you, from a scientific
point of view, how the earth was
formed. Perhaps they come from
gases thrown off from the sun,
which are gradually moled. On
the other hand, leading authori
ties on astronomy say that it Is
clear that comets cannot have
originated within the limit., of
the solar system. Tbey propound
the fascinating theory that com
ets, such as Pons-Winnecke, come
from a distance in space so great
that it is impossible to think or
speak of it in terms of miles."
Professor Fowler added that
Jupiter, to whose family Pons
Winnecke belongs, may cause a
disturbance and so alter the path
of the comet that it will reach
its nearest point to the earth
about June 7, the date on which
it is expected.
"When the public interest In
Hailey's comet became acute I
worked out the exact date of the
arrival," continued Professor
Fowler, "but I should be involved
in laborious calculations for days
! on end If I were to ascertain the ,
day on which Pons will drop his
visiting card in the shape of a
shower of meteorites."

Atlantic City, N. J.. June 8.
Mrs. Cecilia Dempsey, the 61 year
old mother of the world's heavy
weight champion, is a newspaper
fight fan. Although she never
has witnessed a ring battle, nor
expressed any desire to see her
son in action, she has been an in
terested reader of glove contests,
even before she became the mother
of the world's title holder.
mother has been always an rdent
reader of fights, even before Jack
was born," Bernard Dempsey,
Jack's eldest brother said today.
She knows more about heavy
weight history than either Jack or
myself. All of the old clippings
of famous fights now musty and
yellow with age, are still in her
trunk at home. She can give you
an account of the Sulivan-Corbett
flirht as well as any person who
sat at the ringside."

This is because the full, rich,
