“I heard a little boy last Sunday, on his way to church, say to his mother, ‘ Mother, is it true that a comet is going to hit the world?’ And she said, ‘Yes, dear; tho newspapers say so.’ ‘And where shall we bo niter it hits us?’ ‘I suppose, darling,’ she answered, with a touch of reverence, I admit, in her voice, ‘ that wo shall be dissolved into a nebular nucleus with an enveloping corona of incandescent hydrogen.’ After that they passed into church, and I heard no more.”
