Comet Count, Polar Snow, and a Boston Organ Tale
Kepler's remark about comets equals the seas fish in number. Earth may travel through a comet's breadth without harm. Polar snow is traceable to a tiny greenish organism at subfreezing temps. A tree balances growth with equal branches and roots. The great Boston music hall organ, stored ten years, priced over $60,000 and weighing about 70 tons, was made finished in 1863 with a planned public hearing. An ode by Mrs. James T. Fields, read by Miss Charlotte Cushman, marked its era before 1884 changes.
