The Comet.

This interesting visitor attracts general at
Iehtion every clear evening. Ii appears in the
northwest some twenty degrees above the
horizon, and is easily found by the naked eye.
Then through telescope, the body of the
comet appears round and solid, while the tail
seems to flicker and flash. Astronomers sup
pose the comet is approaching the sun, and
will shortly disappear from our view. The N,
Y. Express says:
This "illuslrious stranger" is represented TO
be the same comet discovered on the 10Th of
June, by Klinkerfrivs. We need be under no
particular apprehension that it will come in
contact with our dirty planet, as.Dr Bond, of
the Cambridge Observatory, tells US that its
distance from the earth is sixty OF seventy mil
lions ofmes. The same authority assures US
that it is some thirty millions of miles distant
from the sun.
THIS comet is the most imposing that has
appeared for several years, and those who
have good instruments should not fal to no.
tice the interesting visitor. On Tuesday there
was a marked change noted in the appearance
Of the comet The tail was much thinner and
longer, while the nucleus was much smaller,
aud more dense and brilliant; tHe general as
pect of the whole being that Of bright silver
star, enveloped and followed BY shower oI
silver. 1t is thought that this comet will r ach
its petroleum on the 97th inst.
Comets used to be looked upon as the GER
tain precursor Of war, pestience, famine, or
some other dire calamity, but in these latter
days the world has learned to look upon them
with awe and admiration, and not with fear

lcy's comet" performs its revolution in about
seventy six years. 1t appeared in 1850. and
came to its perihelium on the 18Th of March,
Its last appearance was made in 1885.
That which is dnowu as Enckes comet was
first discovered by NJ. Pons, Nov. 2o,h, 1918,
but it was justly named by atronomers after
Pro-, Encke from his success in detecting its
orbit, motions, and perturbations. 1t is one
of the three comets which have appeared ac-
cording to prediction, and It's revolutions are
made in three years and fifteen weeks.
Biel's comet called after its discoverer, NJ.
Biela A. Austrian oticer) was discovered
February 28,h. 1926. Il is alone one of the
three comets whose reappearance was predict
ed; its revolution being performed in six years
and thirty eight weeks It's second appearance
was in 1882, when the time of its petroleum
passage was Nov, 9Th. Its third appearance
was in 1899. -
The ancents were frequently visited by these
errat;G bodies. Justin tells us of the simuta.
neous appearance Of hOo, which were seen for
seventy two days together, and whose splen-
dor eclipsed that of he mid day sun, and oc-
cupied forty-fve degrees, or the fourth part of
the heavens This was one hundred and thir.

Those phenomena were first nationally ex'
