Two Comets In the Sky.

The astronomers at the Naval
Observatory were enabled to take
observations last week, and the
fact vas established beyond doubt
that there are two comets, instead
of one, dashing about through
space. g.. -gsat-s
The comet observed is hardly
so, ,ooo, 900 miles from the earth,
and is moving very rapidly. Its
direction now is away from the
earth. and all danger Of a Collision
between these two bodies is past.
This comet was discovered by
Perrine on the I4th instant. Its
discovery was an accident, Per
rine, at the time he saw it, being
on the lookout for the comet he
discovered in November. This
was not observed by the local as
tfonomers. a:
The new comet has been much
nearer the earth than we supposed
at one time being within 10000 =
600 miles of this planet--a very
short distance, according to the
way comets travel.
The movements of this comet
have been rather peculiar to one
versed in such matters. When
discovered it was nearing the
ear h, although not coming di-
rectly toward it. Then it changed
its course and receded from this
particular spot. Again the course
was changed and once more the
comet and earth were getting to-
gether when the fiery mass wheel.
ed about and is now going away
from us, never to return. At
least not for several hundred
years.
The comet passed its nearest
point to the sun of January 81. II
is now moving rapidly away, los
ing its light, and is about half as
bright as it was last week.
Prof. Harkness and his as ssoci-
ates will make further observa-
tions at the first opportunity, and
the old comet will undoubtedly be
located.
