A CELESTIAL VISITOR.
An Event Awaited with Great Interest
by all Persons Interested in AstrOn.
Omy.
Providence journal.

Astronomers are anxiously scanning
the northern skies in anticipation o.
seeing comet that may be expected al
any moment. DR.. Gould, of the Car
doba observatory in South America
u month since discovered a great comet
passing the sun in northern direction.
Ever since that announcement, Its adj
vent in our northern boundaries has
been anxiously looked for. But the er-
ratio traveller has not yet designed to
show its face, and il doubtless waiting
to burst forth in blaze OF glory to de-
light our da2zled eyes. With such It'd
BIT os celestial radiance shining bright.
iy before their imaginative eyes, the
men OF science have not failed to put
their wise heads together to find out all
they can concerning the expected
stranger. Whether it is a member of
the cemetary brotherhood that makes
periodical visits to terrestrial terrltor-
iea, or whether, after course OF mil
lions of years, it has spanned for the
first time the space between the sun
and some twinkling star, are the two
questions that arouse the deepest inter-
eat.
Professor Benitmin Pierce, who is
high authority iii cemetary philosophy,
il fully convinced that the expected
visitor is the comet of 1S43, returning
once more to visit the sun. If this the
ory is true, the star-gazers of the pres
ent year have delightful prospect to
look forward to. The comet of 1913
was wonder of wonders. 1t was first
discovered as a brilliant object close to
the sun, and large enough and bright
enough to be seen at MONDAY. In about
a week wonderful comets tail was
seen, skirting the horizon soon after
sunset, and reaching more than one
third of the way around the sky. Here
was strange anomaly; first head
without tail, and thena tail without a
head and yet they we're members OF
the same comet. Such was the velocity
of the swiftiooted traveller that it went
around the sun from one side to the
other in about an hour and a half, and
such its proximity to the sun that it
probably brushed its surface or at least
trespassed on the dominions of the
COTOIlu. luz IIlOnl litINtiOuo IbClutI'b
ON its annals was, however, that it left
its tail ms it reccded from the sun. There
were, thereft ire, two tails nearly side by
side, the old deserted tail beginning
without any head atsome distance from
the nucleus, and the new tail commence
ing at the head of the comet. This
double tail was seen for several nights,
and then the earth passed into the
plane of the comets orbit, and one
tail eclipsed the other. If Professor
Pierce is a true prophet, we are liable
to see great comet blazing side by
side with the sun on any clear day, and
one or two tails spanning the skies, and
yelling the stars on any clear night
Fortunate is the star-gazer who shall
first discover the celestial vision, and for
tunate the generation that, having en-
joyed the glorious sight Of the beautiful
comet of 1858, will also have the rare
privilege to behold the return of the
marvellous comet of 1843.
