The comet's tail has been imitated by Prof. E. F. Nichols and G. F. Hall under conditions closely resembling those of nature. A mixture of emery powder and ruff-ball spores was placed in an hourglass-shaped vacuum tube, and the F52 air was withdrawn as completely as possible, with precautions to get rid of mercury vapour. On pouring the powder from one part of the tube to the other while illuminated by the concentrated rays of an electric are, the lighter portions of the powder were seen to be blown out as though repelled by the light. The behaviour of a comet's tail was very accurately reproduced, and the effects were found to agree with the calculations of the pressure of light made by these experimenters.
