I aLso wish to know something about comets—what they are, and what composed of. lam told that a comet is a gaseous body, and that it is subject to the same laws of attraction and gravitation as tha Earth oh"which we live, but beyond that I can find no person, nor any book, that will tell mc exactly what I want to know. I shall feel obliged to anyone who is able to explain these two things • to me.—Yours, etc., T. P.
