In 1861 we had a similar experience, and nobody was any the worse for it. "Even if the head of a comet struck the earth I do not believe there would be any serious conse- quences. There might be a few casualties, because the head of a comet is a dense swarm of meteoric masses. There might he a little trouble, perhaps, from big meteors, but nothing of a very serious kind and that is the sort of thing that would occur only once in millions of years."
