TIE NEW COMET.

Tho now comet Is now visible to tho
naked eye, and may be seen any
evening when tho sky is clear with
low, clear horizon, from s to half-past
. o'clock. 1t is to be looked for in the
same region of the heavens as that in
which its predecessor Of June cXhib-
tied itself in tho northwest. At
o'clock in tho evening it's positionswil
be n little north of northwest, about 10
degrees or ono hour above tho horizon
and little moro than tho Same dis
tancc below and to the right of Mcralz,
tho star which forms tho northern
corner OF tho bowl of the dippcr. by
looking carefully at this point the OBJ
scsvcr will sec two tolcrably bright
stars close together with on other one
very hear thcm. Tho ono TO the right,
being the lower and more northern
one, is the very body he is in search
of-thc comet. Its head is easily
enough distinguished, being as bright
as ono OF tho minor stars in tho dippcr:
but il will take close and careful
observation TO bring into view the dim
and tcnuous tail of the new visitant.
Good eyes will see it without much
difficulty, but others will require the
atd of an opera gl,ss--and then resort
must be had to the trick OF astronomers
of fixing the vision q little to ono side
or above tho object rather than directly
on it. by observing these rules 1t will
be seen that from tho right hand star
of tho pair below and to tho north of
the bowl OF tho dippcr spreads n filmy
appcndngc which marks it as tho comet.
The tail is upward and to tho right. BY
examining the dippcr, it will DO seen
that two stars in tho handle nearest tho
bowl, and the two stars forming tho
| ~ hn1
right hand corner arc in tho same right
line. Prolong this line downward and
it will pass through the comet us IL
appeared Tuesday night Like the
comet Of June, in revolving ronhh inc
north star, it dips slightly below the
northern horizon TO rcappcar in tho
northeast, and il may be found AGAIN
in that quarter about O'Clock IN the
morning if the light OF the gibbous
moon now in its last quarter is not so
brilliant as to 1ucnch it. In II few
I days the moon will be out OF sight at 4
o'clock in the morning, and then tho
comet will be sccn to better advantage,
and also what is Il more glorious sight
than the comet itsclf-thc Eastern sky
glowing with the 9plcndor Of four
planets, Venus, Jupiter, Mars and
Saturn, tho brilliant frst-magnitudc
stars Capclla, Aldcburan, Castor and
Polux, with the Pleiadcs shining
family near the zenith, the majestic
| Orion we'll above the horizon still pur-
suing the still retrcating bull with no
hopes of ever ovcrtaking him. The
astron omical description Of the new
comet gives il q head of II ,75O miles i'll
diameter, u tail 1900, 900, miles i'll
length and its distance from the sun
81, 900 900 miles. 1t will continue to
grow brighter for several days, but
will never appear us ahriiliant as the
! comet of June.
