A Second Comet Pound Hidden Away In tn

.
SAN JOSE. Cal. July 17.-An important dis
covery regarding the comet has been made at
Lick Observatory. Photographic plates reveal
the fact that the celestial vlsitant is not alone
in its glory. but has companion. The second
comet Is enveloped in the tail OF the first one.
and shows distinctly as q nebulous-like con-
densation. Its tail also merges into that Of
tho other.
DR.. Holden and the astronomers OF the noun
tain are much elated over tho discovery. 1t
was revealed by n photograph Of tho comet
taken on Thursday night by Prof Hussey. and
cannot be seen through tho telescope. 1t ap
pears to move In the same orbit as the main
one. or an orbit exactly parallel. and at the
same rate OF speed. Tho discovery makes more
certain the theory that the original force which
throws out comets sends out m ore than one at
q time. This theory was before thought to be
correct. from the fact that more than one
comet has been found in tho same or nearly
the Same orbit.
