For a month this summer the earth will engage in a race with the periodic comet Pons Wtnecke and because n will have no chance to win, it will endeavor through astral influences, to "trip up" us gaseous rival, according to a report made public today by the observa tory of the University ol Cali fornia. The eanh w ill not gel into r ice until the comet has a lead of be tween 1 2,000,000 and 20,000,(100 miles, but then it will put "every thing ii has" into the test with the comet. The "tripping up" process or perturbation caused by the earth influence, will pull the comet away from us course somewhat, but it will continue to plunge along the cosmic speedway at an undimin ished pace. It will cap iis suprem acy finally when, on June 27, it flips its tail so hard against its te resirial rival that the impact will send out sparks. These w ill go down in the record as a meteoric shower. The comet at last calculation, was approximately .57,000,000 fillies from the earth. Its nearest approach will be . 1 32 of an astro nomical unit, or I2,000,otii) miles on June 7, and shortly thereafter the race will begin. Ai ihe greaiest brilliancy observ able from the earth the comet will be ot ihe eigih or ninth magnitude Nothing gieater than the sixth magnuude can be observed by the naked eye, so the worlJ-at-large will see nothing ol the visitor until the lail flipping episode, on June 27. However, the earth's attrac tion for the comet mav be so great that new calculations may be nec e iry w hen the race gets under way. Any potential prophecies that the conirt Willi do great damage to the eanh arc out of order, Hie observatory states. O.i the other hand, the meteoric shower, it it develops us anticipated, will prove lo be a harmless, it inspiring, spectacle.
