Dir. NORMAN LoCKYER, who is regarded in
England as the astronomical genius of the
day. and who cOntemplateS visiting the
United states next year. is described by
MOncure Conway as "a youthful person. not
much over thirty. with q handsome face,
clear, flexible voice and a way of making the
unlI telifgihle plain, which is certainly, in
these days of vague speculation. faculty to
create wonder and admiration. During the
march of the recent comet known - COggia'S
through the heavens. Mr. LOc<yer made
some valuable scientific discoveries the re-
suit OF which are soon to be given to the
world. Ii has transpired that every night
while that comet was within sight he was on
his watch tower, using the most powerful
tel' scope in England; that he mapped its
march and photographed its every phase; that
he had resolved its fan-shaped nucleus into
mil lions Of shooting meteOrs; and that he ex-
perimented on the large number of meteor
ties in the British Observation-Disclosures that
have fallen in every part of EurOoe-and
found that when heated up to a certain point
their spectrOScopic signs were exactly like
those of the comet. Mr.. IOckyer is not com
ing TO this country TO take lyceums by storm
but To confer with our scientists whom he
has accreGitedwitht the greatest achievements
