For ten years past astronomers have told
us that during the months of July,
August and September, in this year, the
most wonderful comet the world has ever
known, would reappear. This comet is
on time. It is now to be seen with the
naked eye, any clear night, in the north
ern part of the heavens, between eleven
and twelve clock, and from that time
until the morning star rises. Astrono-
mers assure us that this comet will ap-

ever did before, and that either the earth
Or the comet will have to change it's
course, or a collision is inevitable This
comet is said to be many thousand times

mass of fire, with a tail of fire that would
reach around the earth more than a
hundred times, and collision with our
planet is not an event to be very earnest
