A Comet for Early Risers.

Prof. Z. E. Barnard, Of the Wander
| bilt University Observatory, writes to
the Nashville (Tenn.) American, under
date of the 8th ult: Il wish to call at
tentiOn to the fact that we now have a
naked eye comet in our morning skies.
The comet discovered by Fabry at
Paris, France, on December 1, last, was
quite easily seen as a hazy star with
faint tail in the northeastern sky this
morning from two o'clock until dawn
blotted it from view. With the tele-
scope the comet was beautiful object
with tail some five degrees long, very
slender and neatly shaped. A bright
starlike nucleus shOne in the head and
surrounded by nebulous glow OF light.
A group of small stars could be seen
some distance back of the head, shining
through the gauzy train without any
perceptible diminution of their lustre.
The comet promises to be conspicu-
GUS object in few days, as it brillian-
cy is now only sixty times that of dis
covery, and it will rapidly increase up
to the goth, at which time it will be
brightest. The comet will then be Wis
ible in the evening, setting less than an
hour after the sun, but it will be 480
times as bright as when discovered,
which may some what compensate for
the disadvantage of it's being seen on
twilight sky. The comet will then be
moving very rapidly toward the south
east.
