BALTIMORE. Nov. 23-Prof Charles Lane
Poor OF the Johns Hopkins University. who
has been watching tho comet for a week. said
this evening that nothing definite could be de-

observations Mt intervals OF two or three days
It is possible TO obtain. very roughly, the orbit
OF such n body.
An accurate determination OF tho orbit OF q
comet requires a continuous series OF observa-
lions extending over period OF several
months. and tho work OF computing thu path
may well last several months more. SO that
tho orbit OF no comet Is known with any nc.
curacy until long after the body has made its
appearance.
Tho comet now In question has been Wis
