Earth.

LICK OBSERVATORY. Cal. Nov. 20. - The
Holmes comet has been Systematically OBJ
served here since Nov. 4. but the stormy
weather prevented observations during tho
last week. Its position has boen accurately
measured by Prof. Schueberlc with Il meridian
circle and by Prof Barnard will, twelve
inch telescope. The latter has also secured
good Photograph OF the comet. Mr.. Campbell
has observed it's spectrum visually and photo

It Is the most remarkable comet OF recent

structure was tho tail in embryo. which has
since increased considerably In length All
parts OF the comet give u continuous spec.

the green bind. in which respect observations
here differ from others reported.
Ihe apparent size OF the comet has continn-
ally increased. until now It is two.thirds the
diameter OF the moon. 1t is quite dittused and
elongated. and has the appearance Of m ordi-
nary comet. Though 1t has grown larger. 1t has
also grown fatntcr. and 1t IL bnrely visible to
the unnssisted eye. Computers agree that 1t
Is not Biela comet, and that II Is neither close
