The Comet.

The Comet.
A remarkable comet is now visible 10
the naked eye, and exhibits a well-defn-
ed tail. This comet grows moro brillian,
each evening; it is seen near Arcturus,
and forms nearly a right angle between
The two points of the dipper and Arctu-
rus. /; is now best seen in the morning
abou, four o'clock. DR.. Gould thinks
this is the idehiicai comet seen ia 1927,
with a period of 81 years. Professe:
Deniscn Olmsted, of Yale College, re-
marked in December, 1856, that "a splen.
! d comet appeared in the year 1854, and
the same comet r~e-appeared in 1856, thus
having a Periol Of 302 years; hence this
comet may appear again in 1852
When the five elements of this comet
now seen in the heavens, shall be ascer-
tanned, then we shall learn whether it is
the comet Of 1854 or Of 1927. To dis
cover The five elements of a comet: is a
difficult problem.
The circumstances which render COM
els inir~insically interesting, are their ply
steal appearances, their remarkable MO
lions, and their historical associations
"The comet of 1911, had a nucleus Of
only 425 niles in diameter, but a tail
1872, OUO, 900 miles long. Had ii been
coiled around the earth like a serpent, il
would have reached round more Than
5000 times. "-(D-niSo Olmsied.)
The ome of 1913 was visible at noon
day; it was a pale rose red, and came
within 90, 900 miles of the surface of the
sun, rhus undergoing a heat 400 times
as great as at our equator.
"Biela's comet, al It's return in 1S46,
displayed another remarkable features
seperction into two distinct parts. This
strange peculiarly was first seen from
the Observatory of Yale College, by E.
G. Herrick. AT one lime the distance of
one nucleus from the orher, was estima-
ted at $4,000 mills. IIalley's comet,
in 1856, had a tail reaching from the no.
rizon TO the zenith, and inspired such ter
ror that, by a decree Of the Pope of Rome,
public prayers were offered up al noon
day, in all the Catholic churches, TO de-
precsie The wrath Of heaven; while in
1852 the same comet had a tail only 80
degrees 10 length, and in 1859 ii was Wis
ible only to the telescope "-Olmsted.
Encke's comet completes IFS revolution
in 81 years, while the comet Of 1911 has
a periodic time Of 1888 years.
The la Is Of comets extend in a direct
line, from The sum-. The comet of 1913
moved al the rate of I ,25O, 900 miles per
hour, a velocity sufficient 10 carry it
around the sun in four hours. Lightning
