OUR CELESTIAL VISITOR.
A Second Comet Discovered at Lick
observatory.


SAN JOSE, Cal, July H.-An i'm
portant discovery regarding the comet
has been made at Lick observatory.
Photographic plates reveal the fact that
the celestial visitant is not alone in it's
glory, but has a companion. The second
comet is enveloped in the tail of the first
one and shows distinctly as a nebulus-
like condensation. Its tail also merges
into that of the other. Director Holden
and the astronomers on the mountain
are much elated over the discovery. 1t
was revealed by photograph of the
comet taken Thursday night by Prof.
Hussey and cannot be seen through the
telescope 1t appears to move in the
same orbit as the main one, or an orbit
exactly parallel and at the same rate
OF speed. The discovery makes more
certain the theory that the original
force, which throws out comets sends
out more than one at a time. This
theory was before thought to be correct
from the fact that more than one comet
has been found in the same or nearly
the same orbit.

The Homing pigeon Contest.

The time made by the pigeons started
Saturday morning was not what the
owners expected it would be. They
were started from Jackson park at 10:3O
Saturday morning and were due in the
kast yesterday, but nothing was heard
of them until 7:1S this morning, when
the first reported. Accordingly the trip
was made in less than two days, and
when it is remembered that these birds
never fly at night it is evident that they
were on the wing from daylight till dark,
for they did not fly as fast as possible.
The winning bird is a black checkered
cock, and bore the registered number
"E. V, 27S," and the exposition stamp
"W. c. e, 81" Mr. Clarke owns the
pigeon, and to him will be awarded the
worlds fair gold medal and $50 from the
New York section.
