SAN Francisco, CAL, Nov. 27.-Prof. Bar
nard of Lick Observatory. who has made
special study OF comets, declares that
from his observation the comet in Andro-
media is really Biulas comet. He says its
orbit is precisely the same us that of iSiela's
comet, and it is natural to assume it is the
same.
Barnard saw the comet last on Novem-
Der list, when 1t was four times ms large
as on the Stl, but was fainter, barnard
added This means that the Holmes
comet is, now larger than half the full
moon. Because it Is fainter both as a
haked-eye object and through the tele-
scope, the opinion seems generally ac-
cepted that the comet has been increasing
IN distance from the earth. | say that
this reasoning is fullacious. The fact that
the comet is increasing so markedly in its
apparent size is conclusive to me HAT it is
getting nearer to us, and the fact TINT it is
getting fainter IL quite natural, When We
are in the midst of a fog cloud it does not
seem half so dense as when the cloud has
passed the mountain, and is seen in the
near distance"
