WASHINGTON, March 14.-Observations
Of Perrine's comet. made at the National
Observatory tonight, show that it is trav-
cling ava from the earth in a southerly
direction very rapidly and growing percepti-
bly, fainter. Tonight it was scarcely half
as bright as two nights ago and it's posi-

twenty degrees in the right ascension and
the declination lessened by a half degree. 1t
Is still an open question whether the strang-
er is travelling in a parabolic orbit or in the
direction of an elongated ellipse. as the diff
ference in its travel in this respect from the
last observation was too slight TO warrant
a conclusion. In the latter case ii will again
return to view. but otherwise it will pass
beyond observation and become lost in space.
