A sextuple Photographic telescope has

tories which may revolutionize the pres
ent astronomical methods and lead to
valuable new discoveries. Having six
cameras instead of one, the new tele-
scope can cover field in the sky equal
to that which would be occupied by
2, 400 full moons. With this wonderful
gain OF perspective not only does it seem
probable that it may reveal new facts
relating to meteoric heights, but that it

Some Queer shaped Comets.

The Astronomers and observers in gen.

tiles among the various comets or "'hairy
stars" that have made their appearance
in the heavens. That of the year ll0a
known as "Metia's comet" was in the
form of pillow, but without anything
resembling handles.

sephus says that the comet of the year
70 A. ID. was in the shape of a sword,
and that it hung over the city (of Jeru-
salenI) whole year" The comet of

mense whale, the resemblance being So
strong that it went into the histories of
several widely separated countries as
the whale comet" Donati's comet,
when first seen on June 2, 1853, was in
the shape of tadpole. On Oct. 8 it
was sword shaped, and six days later
was the counterpart of the wing of gi-
