earth directly or nearly SO. Though
very much larger, it is certainly fainter

that it will Increase. SO greatly that
when in perigee it will from5ditusion
become so faintas TO be Invisible
It is making ;a,faiut effort to throw
out a tail, but as Biela's, comet has al
wavs been nearly a tatliess comet, it
will hardly depart 'FRONT.' its usual habit.
Az the comet has not been seen before
in forty years, though it has a six and
sixteenths year period, its present path
may differ considerably from it's former
path. Statements, therefore, that it or
its tail will strike the earth are prema'
ture. 1t has been mystery where
this formerly well behaved comet has
been hiding for forty years, and now its
unexpected return may teach us some
thing about geometry astronomy.
