The Boston Globe prints "Comet's Tale"
supplement, devoted to matters on the earth
as seen from the comet. Among other dis
patches are the following
special Dispatch to the Comets Tale:
NEBULoPoLIs, August 12, 1ss1.-At the
observatory in this city, the new planet was
sighted early in the evening, and shortly be-
came apparent to the nude optic
10 Comets Tale correspondent, Prof. T.
G. Munroe said:
"Iherc is no doubt in my mind that this is
Eli Perkins planet, first sighted in 1850 B. G.
IL sallles in every to the description given of
the planet when we last looked at it through
the planetoscope 240 years ago. A. that
tllne 1t was particularly noticed that Boston,
which is the center of the Perkins planet, was
about to create a series of public parks. My
inspection with the planetoscope shows me
that Boston is still about to create series of
public parks This settles the identity of the
planet in my judgment"
STILL BETTER EVIDENCE.
Special Dispatch to the Comets Tale:
AsTERoIp, August 12.-Prof. aelmbold
disc vered the new planet at 1920 this even
ing. Your correspondent called on him a
few minutes later, and found him in state
of unusual excitement
"Don't give it away. Don't give it away"
said he.
"Dont give what away, Professor?' asked
the correspondent.
"Oh, there's new planet, and have dis-
covered itn'
"What planet is it ?" inquired your re-
porter.
81 believe it to be Eli Perkins planet of
1850; but this is not for publication yet, you
know"
"What ground have you for believing it to
Perkins planet ?"
"Because Il is the only planet ever known
that had its rocks and fences all covered over
with 'Sozodont' and Use Yuba Wanna for
Your Hair These disfgurements of the
upper strata are very plainly seen through the
planetoscope, and settles the question of the
planets identity beyond a doubt"
MORE POSITIVE PROOF.
Special Dispatch TO the Comets Tale:
TAILsBUBG, August, ia Comets Tale
correspondent called at the observatory here
tonight and inquired what the faculty had
made out by its examination of the new plan
ct. The answer was given by Professor
Blowhsrd that in his opinion it was surely
Eli Perkins of 1850 B. e. He knew it by a
strawberry mark on its arm, and other surface
indications identical with those observed on
its last appearance, 24O years since. Its gen.
eral look corresponded with the photograph
taken of it then. 1t had changed little, but
not much. Dublin had ceased to be the cap
ital of Ireland, which was now removed to
New York, and there were some other smaller
cl al ges, but the general aspect of this spher-
oidal luminary left no doubt that it was the
Perkins planet. Through the planetory-
scope he had distinctly seen Frank Forbes,
who was reporting the Massachusetts, Colo
NAL Legislature when the planet was last OBJ
served in 1641. Frank is still! one of the
Youngest men on the Boston press. His re-
appearance at this time settles the identity of
the planet beyond cavl.
STARTLING AND UNDENIABLE.
Special Dispatch to the Comets Tale:
SoLARvILLE, August 12.-At the observa-
tory here the professors are satisfied that the
new planet is the Perkins planet of 1860 3. c.
They assign as their reason that on Sunday
morning last, when they first examined it
carefully, the inhabitants Of Boston were all
observed going to the public bakeries with
cans and jars, carrying home peculiar fruit
known as trown-bread and beans, which was
specially noted by the observers of 1911 as
striking feature of life at the Hub of the Per
kins planet.
ABSOLUTE CERTA NTY.
Special Dispatch to the Comets Tale:
SpECrRU MopoLIs, August 12.-EXamina-
tiops of the new planet made by the faculty
of the observatory in this city leave little
doubt that it is Eli Perkins planet of $500 B'
| c., last seenin 1641. This is made more certain
tonight by the discovery of Anna Dickinson
and DR.. Mary Walker, both of whom were
seen through the planetscope. AS both these
females are mentioned in the dairles OF the
observers of 164l as permanent features OF the
Perkins planet, this would seem to settle the
identity of our celestial visitor.
