THE ASTRONOMERS PUZZLED.
The Franks of That Comet Are Max
ing Them Tired.

The astronomers, it seems, are beginning
TO be puzzled by the strange conduct Of the
comet in Andromeda, which they at first
supposed to be Biela's comet, and which
vas advertised to give us fine pyrotechnic
display on the night of the 9th. Professor
Lewis Boss, Of the Ludley Observatory at
Albany, n. Y, is now reported as saying
that he is satisfied that the celestial wanderer
with the nebulous caGdal appendage is not
only not the Biela comet, but is not even
travelling in the track of the Biela comet, as
was at first supposed by Some astronomers
Moreover, Prof. Boss says that while he has
not been able as yet TO fix the orbit of the
comet. he is satisfied that instead of approach
ing the earth at the rate of 700 miles u sec
ond, and being only 100000 miles away
Friday night, the comet is actually going
away from the earth, and is now about 250,
900. 600 miles away. As far as he can ascer-
tain at present the comet is new one and is
unknown to astronomers.
On the other hand, Professor Swift of
Rochester, telegraphs the following under
date of Sunday: 1.-THE BieIa comet was seen
last evening at the Warner Observatory for
the fourth time. 1t has since discovery
moved but very little, and as it is increas.
ing in size it is approaching the earth or
nearly so. Though very much larger it is
certainly fainter than when first seen here. |
predict that it will increase so greatly that
when in perigee it will from diffusion become
so faint as to be invisible 1t is making II
faint effort to throw out a tail. But as Bella
comet has always been nearly a tailless comet
it will hardly depart from its usual habit.
As the comet has not been seen before in
forty years, though it has a six-and- six tenths-
year period, its present path may differ con
siderably from its former path. Statements,
therefore, that it or its tail will strike the
earth are premature. It has been mystery
where this formerly well behaved comet has
been hiding for forty years, and now its ua-
expected return may teach US something new
about cometary astronomy. This comet is
about % degrees southwest of the great ne
bula in Andromeda, and is very slowly NOV
ing in a southwesterly direction. 1t was dis.
covered by Mr.. Edwin Holmes, Of London.
