The new comet discovered by M. Coggia,
the astronomer at Marseiles, in April, is now
approaching the earth and may be plainly
seen in the northern sky with the aid Of a
glass of moderate power, or even with the
naked eye, if its elevation can be ascertaincd.
A Herald reporter has just interviewed Prof.
Stephen Alexander the astronomer at Prince
ton, who informed him that he has not yet
interested himself much in the subject as he
preferred to wait until the comet comes nearer.
1t is approaching the earth at rapid rate and
will be brilliant object in the northern sky
about the middle Of next month. In answer
to question as to its location Prof. A. said
The simplest direction, which is very un-
scientific, however, to say Is that it is located
about midway between the horizon and the
Polar star at one in tho morning. see the
Dipper and the Great Bear mixed up with the
accounts of this comet. Now decidedly OBJ
ject to this: | do not give It as my official
opinion, for have had little chance to make
anything like careful or accurate diagnosis
of this latest case OF celestial phenomena but
/ am under the impression that the comet ID
located beyond the nose and head of the Great
Bear. The Dipper, as Is well known, is in the
tail of the Great Bear, 30 that it is fully twice
the length of the handle of the Dipper from
its nearest point to the comet The comet is,
have reason to believe, in the head of the
Lynx and in the early part of the evening is
to be found about thirty-five degrees to the
eastward Of cord falling from the Polar star
to the horizon. lido not put it in the Cameleo-
pard, but in the Lynx. This is, of course,
giving it in unscientifc language, but that
imagine is the. wish of the Herald to point
out the location of the comet Coggia, SO that
all can find it. nes

WORTHY OF ATTENTIoN.--An Englishman
with rheumatic govt found this singular
remedy cure for his ailnent "He insulated
his bed from the floor by placing under each
post broken off bottom of q glass bottle"
He says the effect was magical; that he had
not been free from rheumatic govt for fifteen
years, and that lie began to improve i'm
inediatcly after the application of the insula-
tors. "We are reminded by this statement
says the Scientific american, of patentob-
tanned through this Office for a physician,
some twelve or more years ago, which created
considerable interest at the time. The patent
consisted in placing glass cups under the ped
posts in similar manner to the above, and
the patentee claimed to have affected some re-
narkable cures by the use of his remarkable
insrlators." A gentleman in this city who
has been afflicted with rheumatic govt, equity
rheumatism or one or the other or both com.
bined, accidentally stumbled upon the above
statement of facts and tried the experiment
The result is, that although nearly fifty years
old, he is ready to run foot race with any
man of his age in the State for one hundred
yards T; drinks of lager beer for himself and

A new illuminating gas from water has
been introduced in Brooklyn by the Citizens
Gas Light Company, and We learn from q
long description in the Eagle that it has been
in successful use for some weeks past. 1t is
produced by passing superheated steam
through anthracite coal at white heat by
which the hydrogen gas is set free, and this i
passed through heated naphtha, from which
1t takes up carbon, which gives it illuminating
power The gas is said to be of superior
quality, but the cost seems not to have been
determined yet, though it is hoped that it can
be produced at q great reduction from present
prices. However this may be it is scarcely to
be expected of human nature that the pub.
lie will be allowed to reap the benefits of the
reduced cost. i ~

The COMET The comet of Coggia prom
ises to become as famous in earthly records as
any of its great predecessors which bear the
names of Haley, Encle, Donati and bieia.--
1t is now six times as luminous as when nrst
sighted by NJ roggia at the observatory at
Marseilles, and on the 3dof August Will have
attained two hundred and forty-fve times ITS
first apparent dimensions. At present 1t is
visible to the naked eye at nine o'clock or Ia
ter, appearing like q llazy star OF the third or
fourth magnitude in the northwestern sky,
beneath the Polar Star. Its tail seems to be
ot,ly moderately developed though, and as it is
approaching the earth we may not see IT IN en-
tense, therefore not at its best. AS at present
exhibited it bears no comparison to the tail of
Donati's comet which was fifty millions of
miles long or to those Of the comets of 1880
and 1911 which were respectively ninety-six
millions of miles and one hundred millions of
miles in length The real, old, loug-tailed
comet, though, was that Of 1843 which bran
dished an appendage no less than one hum
dred and fifty million. miles long, or nearly
twice the distance between the earth and the
sun. A telegraph wire of that length might
be stretched from the earth to the moon and
back, three hundred times with a little slack
to spare.
The visit of this present comet will be made
the opportunity for moro complete obserya-
tions than have been made in the case of any
previous similar visitor. 1t is particularly
hoped that by means of the spectroscope. the
material composing both the nucleus and the
tail may be accurately determined. Various
theories are held on this point, which is still
Il matter of great uncertainty The fact that
the tails of comets alternately move toward
the sun and are repealed from it has been tax
en- as proof that they are merely electric mat
ter exhibiting this polarity in consequence of
the suns attraction. Others hold that the
