in the near future, and his attention will be
suddenly arrested by faint, nebulous OBJ
ject floating into the field of his telescope.
He hurriedly leaves his eye-piece, rushes
to his library, and nervousy scans the
pages of Dreyer's Catalogue of Nebu-
lac" The object he has been examining
is not in the list. 1t is, then, hitherto
uncatalogued nebulae, or a comet, with a
high probability that it is the latter, in
which case it's motion will soon Be de-
tected.
The astronomer eagerly resumes his OBJ
servations, and after an almost agoniZing
watch of several hours, at last assures him
self that 1t is approaching one of the adja-
cent stars, and is receding from the oppo-
site one. Yes; the filmy patch of cloud,
so faint that only the sharp eye of an as
tronomer can discover it, actually moves;
it is a comet! He instantly telegraphs the
discovery, If in America. to Harvard; If in
Europe, to Berlin; and from those centers
the news Is transmitted to every observa-
tory in the world. and in less than twenty
four hours all the great telescopes are
turned upon the approaching stranger, and
it is welcomed into our solar family with
right royal welcome, for there is a possi-
bility that it may have a brilliant career
and become one of the famous comets of
the age.
The first business of the observer is to
observe the exact position of the comet
in three observations, taken several days
apart. From these data, and upon hun
dreds of pages of abstruse calculations
based upon them, a probable orbit will be
deduced, and the astronomer will be able
to determine the future course of the
stranger, whether 1t is approaching the
vicinity of the earth, or is headed for some
far distant point; whether it is pursuing
a closed, elliptical orbit, in which case it
will return to us again at some future time,
or is coming down to the sun with such
tremendous velocity that it will rush off
again into distant space along the curve
of a parabola, and finally leave the domin-
ion of the sun and plunge with equal i'm

Observation-Disclosures
} ISA GREAT COMET NOW DUE

Some of the Brilliant Celestial Visit
ors of the Present Century

Nine remarkable comets have shone con-
spicuously in our nocturnal skies during
the century that is just drawing to a close,
being an average of one bright comet every
eleven years. OF course the number of
telescope and faint, naked-eye comets is
very much greater, averaging about five
per annum in the last forty years, during
which period there has been a large in
crease in the number and equipment of
astronomical observatories.
But what we are looking for now is q
great flaming monster like some of those
which have startled and alarmed the gen.
erations of the past. 1t shall glare down
upon us with a fiery nucleus as bright as
Sirius, and be surrounded by coma as
large as the planet Jupiter. Its gauzy tail
will spread across forty degrees of the ce-
lestial sphere, and measure 100 900 900 of
miles in length. Coming from the far
depths of interstellar space. it will bear
down upon our little family of worlds in
the neighborhood of the sun with the un-
thnkable velocity of 100, 200 or even 800
miles per second.
The fortunate discoverer of this hypo-
thetical visitor will be sweeping the heav-
ems with comet-seeker some starry night

either by the intense heat of the sun or
by the unequal attraction of that body on
the different parts of the great nom
cohesive bulk of the comet Some of it's
orbital elements approximated those of the
great comets of 1S43 and 1880, and it has been
surmised that all three were different por-
tions of great cometic stream, but that
they have been swerved by unknown per-
turbing influences from the identical or
bit which they originally pursued.
1t is now sixteen years since the great
The herald., 1898-02-27

comet of 1889 was the subject of careful
observation and keen speculation, and 1t Is
high time that a new one with novel feat
ures and of adequate proportions should
grace our celestial scenery Many i'm
provements have been made in astronom-
ical equipment during the period named,
and we shall study the new stranger, not
only telescopically, but photographically
and spectroscopically as well. We bid
hearty welcome to the approaching but as
yet unseen guest.
