ENCKE'S COMET.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Last summer when observing Coggia's comet
one evening 1 asked TWO visitors whether 1t
appeared curved. They said, decidedly, mo; 1t
is perfectly stI aignt." said !, III it was curved
which way would it be curved ?" They agreed
that It might be curved to the left and could not
be curved to the right. but repeated that 1t ap-
peared perfectly straight. My Computation indi-
Gated very slight curvature to the lett.
After COggia's comet had disappeared, I saw
that Encke's comet would pass Its perihellon this
spring. and concluded to try the same principle
there. From its co.ordinates computed in 1852,
when / last saw It, and from q rough assumption
Of Its perihellon passage obtained positions for
January and February, which l supposed would
be probably within half degree. On January rs
first looked for 1t, but did not recognize tie
stars, ana swept over twenty or thirty degrees

recognize the comet Then said to myself III
the comet is within half degree Of the predicted

before, wnere thought IT must be II could see it
at all. But could not be confident that saw
anything there, even when, upon comparison, I
found that the TWO independent positions remark
ably agreed. was SO little sanauine OF the re-
suits OF my attempt to assist observation by
Imagination that when, on February g. | saw
tnat the comet was first seen in The WASH
