THE COMET.


Computations Made at Harvard Observe
tory.
Boston, Sept. 23.-The result OF the compu-
tations made at Harvard Observatory by Prof.
5. q. Chandler, Jr., on the hypothesis that
the new comet is Identical with the comet of
1880, shows this hypothesis is untenable, and
the belief OF its return in 1884 and its possible
fall1nto the sun is unwarranted. The ground
taken by Prof. Chandler is that the observa
tion of the comet of 1880 cannot possibly be
reconciled with in so short period Adopting
the investigation of Meyer at Berlin as a basis
and calculating the difference which would re-
suit between the positions of that comet and
those given by the ellipses which best satisfy
them on different assumptions as to time of rev
olution he finds that even SO short period as
fifteen or twenty years is extremely impossible
while any period Of less than ten years inad-
missit le. The deviations between the obser-
vatory position and these given the ten year
ellipse amount to thirty seconds of an arc or
more, and for greater eccentricities they are
much larger. The return between this comet
and the one of 1880 is not one of identity in
the opinion of Cambridge astronomers but one
of similarity of orbit Any disturbance which
the comet of 1880 may have experienced in its
passage around the sun took place before the
observations made at that place, and its subse-
quont path may be regarded as 6xcd until it's
next return. 1t may be accepted as certain
that the comet of 1880 is now far on its way
toward its most distant point from the sun,
not to return during the present century and
that the comet now visible is simply travelling
behind 1t, in nearly the same track.

WASHINGTON.
The 117th Cali for Bonds.


: WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-The Secretary OF
the Treasury this afternoon issued the 117th
call for redemption of bonds of the five per
cent funded loan of 1884, continued at 1-2 per
cent. from August IL, 1881. The call is for

Return OF the Greeley Supply Expedition.
Gen. Hazen, chief of the signal bureau has
received advices that the supply expedition
which sailed in the steamer Neptune from st.
Johns, N. f., July 8th with additional stores
for Lieut.. Greeley's party returned Saturday
to st. Johns, having been unable to reach
Lieut.. Greeley. The vessel reports solid ice
barrier extending from Cape Inglefield to Ross
Bay. Lieut.. Greeley's station is in lat. so deg.
40 min., while the vessel was only able to
reach lat. 79o 30'. The party remained until
Sept 9th at which date ice had formed to a
depth of four inches and to remain longer
would be to romain for the winter. The Nep-
tune was enable to establish depots to secure
Greeley's safe retreat should it become neces-
sary year or two hence. No anxiety for the
safety of Greeley's party is entertained as they
are amply supplied with stores of all kinds for
at least two years. The impossibility of an
nually reaching the station was foreseen and
provided for.

blown up on laundering. The passengers,
