THE APPROACHING COMET.

STARTLING DEyELOPMENTS-THE HEAD OF THE COMET
TO BIZ AS NEAR AS VENUS EVER Is TO THE
EARTH-sTRoNG PROBABILITY THAT THE TAIL
THE COMET WILL ENwRAP THE EARTH AND
THE MOON.
70 hs Editor of The Tribune.
SIR: Permit me again to congratulate
Prot Swift upon the redscOyery Of what now promises
to be the most wonderful and instructive comet In the
history OF the world. Having ascertained that the
nucleus Of the comet moving In satisfactory ac-
cordance with the orbit which had computed. pro-
ceeded the 10th inst. to compute the position and
probable apparent magnitude Of the tall order to
learn whether 1t would be long enough to extend be-
yond the earths orbit to BIO visible all after the
head Of the comet disappears In the west. From my
estimate Of Its length the morning OF the 2sth
after the had set determined its length at
that time To be certainly 100000 miles then
assumed an increase Of length Of Onetenth each day.
and reached the startling result that upon July 10 its
tail would actually strike earth But knowing that
II the tail should not be long enough to reach orbit
1t would fade away IN the twilight without making any
unusual display, would not venture to publish my re.
suits without further examination.
With later observations Of greater accuracy I have
repeated and extended my computations and an con.
hrmed in the opinion that shall be either near the
tail Of the comet as 1t sweeps the eeptc that IL
will I'LL large portion Of tho heavens Or II its curys-
ture IL not too great. shall be completely eIyeloped
within IT. aud the phenomenon may be visible IN tho
northern hemisphere although 1t is too early yet to
determine whether 1t may not be during the hours Of
daylight Ia this country At tho risk Of having erred In
my judgment. that tho brightness aud condensation
the nucleus and attendant indicate the forma
OF tail equal to that OF Donati's comet, which I
watched with much care. will venture some pre-
dctions trusting that they may BIO received with more
confidence than my carly predictions OF the future Of
Donats comet and that they may be a. fully confirmed
