PROFESSOR ORMoND STONE of the Cincinnati
Observatory, and his assistants are Watching
the new comet, discovered few days ago, with
much interest. They devote all their available
hours to observing the stranger. They say the
comet will be in perihelion about a month
hence. 1t is at present about $50 900, 900 miles
from the earth, and is approaching the earth
very rapidly When it reaches it's perihelion
it will be distant about four-tenths of the dis
lance between the earth and the sun. No tail
was visible when the comet was first seen, but
the observations Of Professor Stone indicated
that a tail was becoming visible. The tail is
now perceptible by the aid Of the telescope.
Whether the comet will become visible to the
naked eye cannot yet be determined, but the
professor thinks there is at least some prob
ability that such may be the case. It's location
seems to be nearly the same as that of the
comet which appeared some weeks ago 1t
seems to be making in northerly direction.
Professor Stone thinks it very probable that
this is the great comet which was observed by
the Chinese in 1887. The orbits Of the two sre
very nearly the same.
