A Prize Essay.

To THE PUBLIC:-In January last I offered a prize ot $20O in gold for each discovery, during the year, in the United States and Canada, of telescopic, unexpected comet. Dr. Lewis Swift director of the Warner Ob. servatory, discovered Comet A, May lst, and Prof. Schaeberle, of Ann Arbor, Mich., Ob servatory, Comet c, July 14, each thus winning the price. Comet B., or the Great Comet, burst suddenly on the sight in this country in June, though it was first seen ir South Africa May 2lst, and it's appearance was predicted near Betn AurTgg for June 236 | last, this prediction being exactly fulfilled Comet was neither telescope nor ukexpect ed, and yet I was anxious, could the frs discoverer be found, to make special aware of $200. Nearly 5000 letters claiming priority have been received and examined but Director Swift reports that no conclusion can be reached that would be scientific ano satisfactory. This was a disappointment tc myself and the climants, but in order to en courage, so far as possible, popular astronica study, beg to announce a prize of $200 tt the person in the United States or Canad, who shall prepare the best essay on ''CoMETs | thetr Composition, Purpose and Eject upo1 the Edrth," on the following
 CONDITIONS :-1. The essay must be writ ten in plain language, each technical tern to be defined in brackets immediately follow ing, and must not exceed 5000 words
 ?. Each essay must be signed with a non de plume and a sealed envelope must accom- pany the essay superscribed with the non de plume and containing the real name O the author.
 8. All the essays must be filed with Dr Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner Observa tory, Rochester, N. Y., by November l, 1881 and he will submit them to the judges.
 With the hope that this prize will produc valuable additions to popular astronomica literature. H. H. WARNER.
