WASHINGTON, September 19h.-The new
comet was watched at the Naval Observatory
this afternoon. 1t was found in the right
ascension, IL hours, 10 mir utes, 81 seconds
destination, II minutes north The comet
was easily seen with the naked eye, and ex.
hlbited a short tail with bright head Of con-
siderable extent In the telescope the nucleus
showed large comet, with plenty of loose
material. Extending on both sides wers
bright arcs of light, presenting the appear
ancs OF bird with outstrstched wings. The
comet was seen at Nice, France, about noon
September 18Th. 1t is almost certain that
the comet has now passed the perihelion. The
comet al o'clock to-day was degrees west
OF the sun, aud wi probably have increased
this distance by sunrise tomorrow to
u or ID degrees. 1t will, there
fore, rise somewhat before shutdown.
owing TO the fact also that il is further south
than the sun, it will not be seen readily be-
fore sunrise. Ia a few days, however, with
liz present rate and direction of motion. il
should become brilliant object in the morn
ing sFy.. On the whole, this may be regarded
as one OF the most extraordinary comets of
modern times The only one which resembled
it in its special features of interest was the
great comet of 1913, which, like this one was
visible to the naked eye in full sunlight.
Barnards comet was also observed this morn
ing at the Naval Observatory. Its right as
cension Is hours y minutes, and its de-
ciination IL degrees IL minutes north. l.
pIeents the usual appearance of a telescope
comet with slight central condensation.
