several times nightly. but these Photographs.
when shown TO tho reporter, looked like mere
black dots on the negative glass. surrounded
by n fainter hrownish land.
The fact that thecomst is headed almost Ill
rcctly this way IL sufficient explanation why
only the head can be seen. The general "pin-
ion is that the comet Is becoming fainter. Its
light more diMGsivn in fact. that IL is scatter
ing. This may BIO in part caused by its near.
ing the sun.
