A NEW CoMETp
DR.. Chase. of Yale, Believes He Has
Made n Discovery

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 25.-Dr. Chase,
of the Yale observatory, believes he has
discovered a new comet in the object he
photographed in the heavens on the ev-
ening of November q. In speaking of
the discovery today. he said:
Yes, l think it is a new comet. Of
course. that cannot be decided until the
orbit is obtained. 1t may possibly turn
out to be periodic comet. No photo
graphs of the comet have been made since
November 81 as the weather has not been
favorable. This is the second comet to
be discovered by photography. and makes
the tenth comet discovered this year.
Most of the others were periodic comets
and were discovered by the Lick obser-
yatory.''
This is the second discovery of the kind
to be made at the Yale observatory and
with the limited apparatus. reflects great
credit on those in charge. At the Har-
ward observatory. where everything is on
a much larger scale, the presence of the
comet was not discovered until indicat-
ed by the Yale astronomers.
