I tograph of Swift's comet with the Willard
lens of the observatory tied ON to the 6-inch
equatorial at the Lick observatory. This
photograph reveals remarkable state of
affairs. Spreading out from the head is
shown complicated system of tails. Of
these there are three principal ones, the
southern of which is the most distinct.
These tails are again subdivided into a
great number OF others, the entire append
age presenting most unique appearance
AT least dozen distinct branches can be
counted ON the photograph, some of which
present remarkable curvatures. This COM
plicated structure was not visible in the
telescope on the preceding morning and
gives evidence of rapid changes.
On Monday morning there were two dis
tinct and divergent branches of tail emana-
ting from the head, both clearly visible in
the glass. The telescope view on Tues
day morning exhibited the fact that in less
than twenty-four hours a third tail had
formed to the extent Of about 10000, 900
miles, while the northern tail which had
been very bright the previous morning.
had entirely disappeared
On Wednesday, April g. still more re-
markable phenomena had presented them
selves, and portions of the tail were seen
to form abrupt angles with their original
source.
On April S, another photograph was oh
tanned with great difficulty in moonlight
and dawn Another violent change had
recorded itself. A number of new tails.
like fine threads of light, had made their
appearance, and a singular and unique
phenomenon was present ON the southern
side of the tail, about dogs. from the
head. A large projecting mass issued
from the tail at a large angle and from
this new tail shot forth parallel with the
main one.-Professor Barnard in San Fran
