 We can now explain why the prom ised comet was not visible In Php- nix last June. It was fooii1g away its time in the land of the Pharaos, watching the total eclipse of the sun, which took place there CD June 18th. Its presence then was not sus- pected until the eclipse became total when it could be plainly seen in close proximity to the sun, curving like. a scimetcr cross the sky. This, l'' in the eyes of the poor natives, lent an additional horror to the eclipse, and to this they will probably at tribute the fall of Alexandria which ] followed so soon after.
