COMET OF ENCKE.

| At the annual meetng pi' the Imperial 4 ,adcny
OF Sciences al s. Petersburg, December 29. 8l8
a notice was communicated by W. Sruye on m.
observations of the Comet of EHcke mad,. IN Inc
Obscrvat at Dorpat in the autumn of 823 with he
great reracilng telescope of that observatory The
remarks on tue inierences which may be drawn from
the observations in regard the physical nature OF
the comet, with which Mr.. Strives COMMUNICATED
closes, are h ghly curious and interesting
Whcnfi 81 seen, tbe comet had diameter of be-
tween two and three minutes; yet from its extreme
ialntness was scarcely visible Now, as objects sh
n'ng by their own light become invisible not from IN
crelsing fain'ness, bu, from the reductio, Of
tude, II follows that Ences comet is probably body
shining only by the reflected light OF the sun.
On The 2Cih OF October. the comet cove.ei a star
If the o-lOth magnitude, which passed very near TO
tie most luminous land therefore the denscsi) part Of
tic comet, without losing any portion OF is brilIarc
On the 9Th OF November, star was seen 90 situated
as 10 DC al h'si mist AIKEN Tor nucleus shining thro
the nebuous matter of Ike Gomez, until its motion dis
covered lis real nature Aud on the same night an
other staT was covered by the comet and passed Wi h
IN very few seconds of its luminous part, with
out being in the least Obscurcd.
From these observations it appears that tho como.
had no solid (opaquc) nucleus Between the berlin
nIng and end of the month of November the ,ebuIous
mass OF the comet had diminished III size aItLouab
during that interval had approached nearer To tho
earth, and although, from its increased vicinity 10 The
sun, ITS light should have increased and conseCuent
ly lis extent and limits have been more clearly visible
the direction OF the diilsed or spreading part the
tIHJ ~ VIC CUNT was always turned rather toUGrds
than JfoD' the sun, Offering in this respect an abso-
lutey new phenomenon.
In conclu-ion, Mr. Strive proposes two questions.

the sun, and the dlmnution ofits maonitudo nm On
preaching that powerful umirary, Justify snpposi-
ton that the sun attracts to tsefa portion

so long have retarded his progress. The in.
